Before I proceed to be happy about this post, I have to rant, all because of a very selfish and cruel act. In today’s world, I wouldn’t believe anyone who would abandon their pets in the most nonsensical way ever possible. I mean, who is the right mind would abandon their pets all because of Vesak Day, a day whom Buddhist believe is ‘giving life a chance’. If ‘giving life a chance’ would mean abandon your pets, logically, isn’t one killing it instead?
Whatever it is, if I’m ever going to meet the person who abandons those pets, I’ll make sure I give them a good lesson, mark my words.
That aside, back to the happy topic. And so, I found one hamster (Grey coloured winterwhite) after performing a nervous search along the corridor. Perhaps, some would termed it as ‘meant to be’ after a night of the hamsters breaking out from their pathetic box left by some idiots.
Unfortunately, only one was found. The day Ah Bin (the name I gave him to rhyme with my alias that my parents so lovingly gave me) entered into the warmly abode of mine, it was 1 May. Of course, having lost two hamsters painfully few years back, my mum was the happiest to have found this little cutie. Straight away, within hours, my mum came back home with a brand new cage for Ah Bin.
It took Ah bin only mere hours to get used to his (I assume it’s a HE) new home and sure it was all fun for him. He resembles ShooBing (The grey winterwhite who left us about a year plus ago) totally. This of course, remind all of us in the family of the heart-warming ties we had with ShooBing. The only difference is, Ah Bin bites. He’s like performing a ‘Ah Bin Strikes Back’ each time someone attempts to grab him. Nevertheless, we all enjoyed his biting. Which probably explains why he is one hell of a eater.
And so three weeks on, some miracle happened. Another hamster appeared in front of my house one fine morning. This time round, it is a white cutie, BUT, she was looking real frail and weak. Immediately, I relate her to the missing hamster that was supposed to be found three weeks ago. Without any delay, Monoko (her new name) was in the same cage as Ah Bin. Oh boy, wrong decision. Without any second, Ah Bin bites her until you could hear the most painful scream ever let out by a hamster. Monoko seems to be crying out for her life. DAMN! They can’t stay together, I thought. Seems like separation is the way to go.
When I returned home, I had two cages with two hammies inside. One white winterwhite, and one grey winterwhite, exactly like old times. It is as though god is trying to give us back Miu Miu and Shoobing. Naturally, they are all safely under the great care of my mum. Probably, that’s the best present she ever received this year. I’m glad, yet afraid at the same time. Glad because they shall be a great companion for my mum once again like how two other hammies used to be but afraid because if they were to be gone again, it’s a terrible pain for my mother.
But
whatever it is, it’s a good fairytale ending for the hamsters because
their lives are now safe until the day god decides to bring them to a
better place, to join my forever beloved Miu Miu and Shoobing!
