they are my source of comfort

they are there when i need them

they are my worries

they are my friends

they are my babies

they are my hamsters!

took this picture of ruby! she's so cute! she's eating sunflower seed. just look at her!

so fatty fatty!

you just look at her, and you'll go like awwwww. so cute!

this is ricky, who likes to take close up pictures! each time i want to take his pictures,

he'll run straight in front to the lens. and in the end, this is the effect you get!

frustrating, but it's still very CUTE! he's a handsome boy, like his father!

i just love to call my hamsters like this, for example ruby, i'll call ruby-by. then like ricky, i'll call, ricky-ky. it's just the repetition of the last syllable. and it makes their names sound so cute.

especially. FATTY BOY BOY!

bye fluffy, 12.January.2010

mother of 7.

byebye fluffy, forever. the only reason you struggled so long today before you actually gave up living is because of your love for your children. you died with your children and me by your side, loving and caring for you during this very last moments. and that's the greatest part of your life before you move on. farewell fluffy, you've been a good friend and mother. rest in peace my love.

FLUFFY. JUNIOR

on 24th July, Fluffy gave birth to 4 baby hamsters.

that day i was in school the whole day, and only came home at about 6pm plus. My mother was at home the whole day, but when I reached home, she was out buying some groceries. I came home and went to the kitchen first. While walking pass the cage to the kitchen, I caught a glimpse of something red hanging in between the metal bars of the cage.

i walked back and look at it again. and i saw it was moving! and i was so frightened, because it's stuck, and i did not exactly know how does a newborn hamster look like. then another baby hamster rolled out of the house and got caught in between the metal bars, it slowly slipped down and dropped to the first floor of the cage as the hamsters's house was at the second floor.

close to tears, i called my mother to faster get back home to deal with it. cause i was scare if the babies will die. like we all know babies are fragile. after the call i was already crying, because i don't know if the babies will die, and i was too afraid to look at it. i'm someone who will not accept painful truth such as death of something or somebody i know of. then my uncle came out of the bathroom and asked me what's going on. i told him.

he went to the cage and tried to help me deal with it. just nice my mother came home. and we manage to move all the babies to another cage with Fluffy (the mother). it was surprising that Handsome did not eat up his children, but he loves his children.

From what my mother told me, when she was home in the morning, the cage was so noisy as the hamsters were all squeaking. guess that means that the babies have arrived, and the mummy and daddy hamsters were all excited. and the whole day they were all hiding in the house keeping the babies warm i guess.

But after 5 weeks, we put all of the hamsters together. Handsome, Fluffy and the 4 babies. 1 by 1 the babies die, until one was left, which was Fluffy Junior. The cause of the baby hamsters' death was unknown, but it was really sad. Fluffy Junior was the strongest among the other 3. and she is a complete replica of her mother.

How did handsome and fluffy come about?

after fatfat and baby had died for quite awhile. it's been feeling so empty at home, and in my heart. everytime when i'm doing work or on the laptop in the living room, i would just look at the hamster cage beside me to look at my cute hamsters. but since they were gone. the space was empty.

on 16th may 2009. i've finally decided to go pet's lovers corner to get my hamsters. first i went over to the pet shop at boon keng, but they were not open. then i went down to vivo's pet safari, but they did not have 5 weeks old hamsters. then i went back to bugis's pet's lovers corner. and they've got 5 weeks old pearl white hamsters!

excited, i bought 2 of the hamsters. i looked for a hard time for a handsome hamster. it's really so hard to look out. then. with such beautiful white fur, and cute look, this fellow caught my eyes! and it's HANDSOME! he's gorgeous! then we call the guy to take handsome out of the cage and into the box because i wanted to buy it.

how we choose fluffy? it's quite a difficult choice. her fur wasn't as pretty as handsome. but she's really very agile! and she look cute too! the guy took out many different pearl white, until i was satisfied with the hamster. and that's how i got fluffy!

then we need to get stuffs for hamster. at first the girl told me to just buy one first, because she said we need to sanitizer, the food stuffs to calm the hamster down but i did not really want to buy it. she said until i feel so bad, because what she say is important, but it keeps revolving around my dead hamsters.

but then i took out my money, and use it to buy whatever that's necessary and what the girl said. lucky my boyfriend was there. because his birthday is 2 days later. so he apply for the pets lover's corner card. and had some discount. one hamster cost about 18 bucks.

then i bought the hamsters home, and settle them down in their new home. fluffy was so active! she kept climbing up and down the metal bars. handsome as well. up and down, up and down, then dropped! then i took them out to play that day. and i keep looking at fluffy's underside, because i thought she was a male hamster! i was so worried that i called my mother. (because i wanted a male and a female hamster so that they could reproduce)

then that very same day, but at night, me and my mother bring fluffy over to the pet shop again to check with the shop. i kept thinking, if she's really a male hamster, should i change her? because she's really too active and fun to play with. but lucky she turned out to be a female hamster. thank goodness! i didn't have to change her away!

the story of FATFAT and BABY

these 2 hamsters were my very first hamsters. i still remember the day when i went into the pet shop at boon keng, hoping to get 2 decent hamsters.

i first stepped into the shop and darted over to the cages of hamsters. but i only like the white ones. this fellow is so not shy. i looked into the cage, she is the only one standing there looking at me, and then jumping and running around the cage after that. while the other hamsters all hide at one corner of the cage. there i was thinking. this hamster is the one.

and there, i've got fatfat. then after that the pet shop owner who look like my youngest uncle, got me another hamster, which is baby.

their initial names for fatfat(female) and baby(male) respectively were, bubble and jay. because of the influence of my maple character and my maple friend eirik at that point of time. but their names got changed after that, because it's easier to call, and it really describes them. fatfat for her size, and baby for his gentleness.

they started out living in those small fish tanks. and when they grew bigger. my mother bought a bigger cage. which is the one i'm still using now. i treated them like how i would treat myself. haha. not saying that i am a hamster or something.

but unfortunately, fatfat died first. her body have lumps, and we also don't know the reason for it. my mother thinks it might be cancer. but we did not seek any help on it.

when fatfat die, i did not accept that she's dead. i keep telling my mother she's still alive, don't throw her away, or bury her. and i tried shaking the cage, even though i know she's dead. i just wouldn't accept the truth. because when she was alive, she's a really good companion. she listens to me when i talk, i feed her food by hand, i play with her, and everyone likes her because she's so cute and fluffy. but she die. and my mother bury her after that in the flower pot outside my house. i cried, when she's dead. it's the kind of feeling of losing something and never getting it back.

and then baby was left with himself. and he died after a few months later. i think it's out of loneliness from losing a companion, or hunger staying inside the hamster ball too long or just being old. the day before, i put him in the hamster ball, and i forgot to put him back into the cage because i was rushing assignment that night, and was dead beat. i don't know if it was because of that or not. the next day i put him back into the cage, he was active for awhile, and then after that he collapsed on his side. and then he died. and mummy bury him at the same pot where she buried fatfat.

that day it struck me bad. i was really crying damn badly, i cried for a long while also. because there's that empty space in my heart that's not filled up, and was used to be filled up by my fatfat and baby. it's really so sad losing both cute hamsters. and they did not have any babies.

but this was all last last year 2008. now, i've 9 hamsters currently. :)
