what i learned from my hamsters..

most of you probably know that about 2 months ago, i bought myself 2 hamsters. this is not my first hamster experience though... 2 years back i had a pair of dwarf hamsters. However, this time round, i bought syrian hamsters (different breed)

okay, just a brief history, i named my dwarf hamsters matthius and sebastian. matthius was the fat, cute and lazy one; sebastian, his brother was the leaner, active and less friendly one. i had to put matthius to sleep because he had a painful cancer, and sebastian, subsequent to the death of his brother, fell into some sort of hamster depression and eventually died of his loneliness and old age.

for a while, a couple of years actually, i did not want to have hamsters anymore. because, i was myself very much affected by matthius's death, particularly because he was my favourite. and it really sucked to see sebastian go nuts after losing matthius too.

but i guess, after a while... my brothers missed having hamsters too. so i decided that i was ready to again have a pair of boy hamsters. only this time i bought syrian hamsters.

my new hamsters are fattie and thinnie. not the most original names. haha. basically because nobody had any good hamster names and so we just named the fatter one fattie and the less fat one thinnie (he's not thin!! they are both fat and spoilt =p)

so anyway, for the first month or so, until recently, fattie and thinnie, they were really the best of friends. fattie and thinnie cuddled up in their little log house together and fall asleep on top of one another. fattie and thinnie ate together, ran on their exercise wheel together. it was all very very lovey dovey and brotherly.

however, about 2 nights ago, my sister woke me up at about 5am. she couldn't sleep so she she went to watch the hamsters play (they are nocturnal creatures). to her horror, she realised that fattie and thinnie were fighting with one another. she woke me up, and we sat there observing them for a while. it seemed that thinnie was the bullier, and fattie was being bullied. thinnie would chase fattie round and round the cage and nip at him. fattie would squeak! and then he would pretend to die. HAHA. yeah damn cute. he like suddenly froze, lay damn still and low, as though he died. and then thinnie will go away... then fattie will slowly wake up, and crawl towards the play wheel to exercise, thinnie will realise he did not really die.. and then the whole chase and play dead game starts all over again.

it was funny but i know fattie was not happy. and i know it wasn't fair to him to live in fear all the time, having to play dead and being nipped. sigh. and so i went online to google for a solution to the fights.

to my dismay, the pet-websites all carried the warning that syrian hamsters are meant to live in solitude and upon adulthood (8 weeks or so) must be separated from their siblings or else territorial hamster fights will become violent and one hamster will get killed.

i was really upset. because i knew then i had to make the decision to separate the both of them :( i was really sad that they have to live apart now, i was worried that they will be so lonely and miserable, sad because they can't be best friends anymore... it took me a while to finally break them up. after observing that the bullying was not going to stop.

so yeah, i felt sorry for them. for i perceived it would be awful to live alone...

however, to my surprise. it's been 2 days since the separation. and i can tell that both hamsters are really happier with the new arrangement. for the first day fattie just slept and slept and slept. probably out of exhaustion from losing sleep over being attacked. today he's awake and playful. i fed them both grapes and brocolli for breakfast. and they were happy munching in between naps... thinnie looks happier too! he has become friendlier with his "space". i took him out just now and he happily let me sayang him and massage his belly. not grumpy and unfriendly like before.

so i guess yeah, it was a good decision to give them the solitude they were biologically designed for. silly me for wanting to force a "togetherness" that i perceived will bring them happiness. not at all.

so the moral of the story is, peggy, not everyone wants what you perceive to be the norm.

syrians are not dwarfs. and we all have our unique variables of happiness, however, bizzare, however uncommon, we all deserve what makes us happy :)

oh gosh the hypocrisy!

Most porn surfers from Kota Baru and Kuantan

BY SALHAN K. AHMAD

PETALING JAYA: Internet surfers in Kota Baru and Kuantan topped the list of local pornographic website visitors, according to Google Trends.
The most searched entries are “bogel” (nudity), “gambar bogel” (nude pictures), “seks Melayu” (sex involving Malays) and “cerita seks” (sex stories).

Google Trends is a leading Internet application provider by online search engine Google.

i think this is really funny.... of all places KELANTAN. plus all that bravado about having legislation on what girls wear and blah. BAH!

but also leaves me thinking... aiyak, what happened to the guys around our block ah? i mean Klang Valley being the most "connected" zone in Malaysia, and yet still lose out to kota baru and kuantan. nyek nyek. hmmm.......

thought of the day

anyone ever noticed... just like how dogs see ghosts, animals avoid poisonous plants, and fishes predict tsunamis...

mat-motors are pretty much darn good at telling when the traffic light is gonna turn green

i see them break the red light and i think "crazy f*$k#*@!" and true enough 3 seconds later the traffic always turns green

i know i know.. yada yada. u guys gonna tell me that there is a system in light changes and nyek. but still... always so darn accurate! damn

nites people. snort*

woo hoo! study leave =))

no more fried chicken

Ladies & Gentlemen, Boys & Girls,
I had my last Ayam Goreng McD this afternoon,
I shall not have any more fried chicken until further notice!

jelak dy... yucks

PLAN CANCELLED
I ATE FRIED CHICKEN ON
28 NOV 2006

yeah i know. i got no backbone.

sigh capital "L"

huay yin: WAHAHAHAHAHHAHA...SEE I KNEW IT! IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME before you caved in... and to think I was so proud of you yesterday.... sheeeesh....

I lay alone
In this dark night
Waiting for the light to shine upon me
Wishing a thousand wishes
Wishing a hundred ways to get away from this dark night.
Wishing for 10 more days to be with you
Wishing for just 1 more chance to see you smile.

I lay alone
Thinking of the many smiles I caught
The many knowing looks that was sent my way
Ah.. How life would be a bed of roses I thought
How life would be like a rainbow
Shining its many different colours
But it was not meant to be

I lay alone
Hoping that some day things would be different
That some day, there would once again be a chance to love
That some day, I would come to realize that love was only a name
And that the game of love is only something to play
Only to lose it all

I lay alone
Wondering how much of it can my heart take
Before something caves in
Road blocks stand in my way
I watch as the stumbling blocks line themselves up
In a path that never reached its end

I lay alone
In this dark night
Waiting for the light to shine upon me
But the sun never came
The leaves didn’t turned to green.
The birds didn’t sing
And the darkness never faded away.

I lay alone
Praying that some day I would find the strength to rise again
To manoeuvre through the stumbling blocks
To seek a way into the light.

My foot is asleep. Yup, right now, just as i am typing this out, it's happily snoozing under the dining table. I mite have to use my left foot to give it a kick so that it'll wake up.

It's 12.41am for god's sake. I know i should not take it too lightly because it's quite uncomfy la.. But iIt's not like it's a disease or something, y'know..i just think that somehow, for some ungodly reason, there is a lack of blood circulation in my right foot. Either that or it is just lacking in attention. At least it doens't turn purple on me.. haha..

I sprained this ankle about 2 years ago and it was getting a lot of TLC. You know la, with a sprained ankle and all, there were plenty of massages, ointment put on it, basically for a period of time, my foot was priority..But now that my job has assumed priority in my life, it's like being a baby la and just throwing tantrums at oddest hours, causing me to be in severe discomfort at times.More entertaining still with stories of my right foot is the fact that my 3rd and 4th toe criss-crosses each other whenever i use my right foot to apply sudden pressure on something. Where my job bores me, my limbs entertain me =))

There was a time when i was in the ladies locker room in the gym. I was bare feet at that time and i used my right foot to press open those "step-to-open dustbins". Problem is, that darn dustbin is made of metal. So i had to apply pressure on it to have it open. Guess what.. my 4th toe went over my 3rd toe and my foot was just left there. I couldn't move it. Darn.. some ladies were looking at me in a weird manner. Like hellooo.. did i look like a "Please throw your rubbish in the dustin while i hold it open for you?" kinda advert? I'm in pain damnit!!

And then there's always that more entertaining story about when my right foot went to sleep just after a shower. I was in a position where I couldn't turn to reach for my towel, but at the same time, i can't move my feet enough to turn the shower back on... and it's so not funny standing naked in the shower with a foot happily snoozing. It was like waking ME up... Wert, 10am? ohh... okay.. ZZZZzzzzZZZZ"
Now i truly understand my mum's frustrations.

g'nite.

You know i was complaining and complaining and complaining to my mum one day that Audit SUCKS big time.. and then there was this Q that people keep asking me that i was never able to answer... what would you have done if you weren't an auditor?

A few years back, 1,2,3,4..yeah, 6 years ago, at this time, I was preparing to sit for my SPM, I was still playing tennis, I was still thin, and yeah, I was still into this thing about Law. Yup, LAW. I wanted to do law, I was so crazy about everything about a court house. For some stupid reason, I even used to find the judges robes a turn-on.
At 17, I was into the craze called Ally McBeal. You know that stick thin lawyer with the blow-up doll.. apparently Shane has one too? haha.. kidding..

When i went to college, both my college crush and I had this thing for Ally McBeal. The thing about law, all the Law & Order's, all the Practice's, I was really really into it.Then came this thing about Actuarial Science. Being an actuary enables you to calculate the (apparent) exact time when you’ll die. Wow.. i thought.. amazing.. But the irony is that, I doubt that if I ever became an actuary, I’ll be far far away from calculating the date I die. I don’t even think I want to calculate when my parents or anyone close to me are gonna pass. Apparently we have tables and all. Formulas. Huge ass formulas. And apparently it’s pretty accurate! Or so my college crush said.. Say all the clicking and stuff yields a number of 150, it just means that you’re gonna live till 150. Doesn’t necessarily mean you’re gonna live happily till 150. Rite?

Or say all the calculating and checking up tables gives you a number 30, but you’re already living year 40 of your life, does that mean it’s inaccurate? Or that all the salad eating and running on the threadmill have caused you to surpass all expectations? I don’t know you see, it’s like something which is accurate yet vague. So I thought, heck, this is not something which I wanted to do.

So then I went to uni. And the craze was this thing about Michael Flatley and the Feet of Flames. Huh? hahaha.. They are a dance troupe. They call themselves the Feet of Flames because they tap dance for a living. And boy are they good at it! Imagine doing something that you love and earn loads of money for it! More of like Michael Schumacher, or Tiger Woods or Roger Federer. I was obsessed. I watch DVD after DVD.. (or was it the LD at that time? I can't remember) I went to watch Riverdance a few years back and the obsession grew.
Ch-cheng!! I wanted to TAP-DANCE!

Never mind that I was already 19 and have bones as flimsy as a pig’s ass.
Never mind that I have bad posture.
Never mind that I can’t even balance for shit on a fallen tree trunk when I went for camp and ended up falling into the river.
I wanted to tap-dance!Oh the revelation! Oh the excitement!

Time went by. Itchy backside and all, I was scanning through the papers one day, and guess what, I see this ad looking for a “JOURNALIST”.So from Law to Actuarial Science to Tap dancing to a JournalistMy dreams are pretty wide-ranging don’t you think? hahahaha.. Somehow I never contemplated Medicine or Engineering. I guess too much rigidity and all.. cannot tahan la. But now comes the biggest contradictory statement. At 23 now, I am an auditor! All the crap about rigidity, I end up being in one of the most rigid and compliance-bound professions in the world.As I sit for my 3rd professional paper, my head tends to run a little wild.

My latest dream? To fly a plane. Yes i can already so hear everybody... HAHAHAHA.

Luff... just luff...

Hey, I have a 20/20 vision ok.
But okay-la, truth be told, it’s the uniform la..The freakin' uniform.. blardee turn on..

Friday, 3 Nov 2006, 3.11am

It's my last day at Diethelm ...

I can finally sleep now,
I am free to sleep and laze till noon,
I have alone time ...

How odd.
i CANNOT seem to find sleep...
it eludes me like a mythical creature of the night...
it teases me with bouts & flashes of weariness...
and yet it refuses me

where thou art my long awaited slumber?
i miss you

Welcome!!
