I lost my Hammy.
On Monday night, my housemate in Melaka who was looking after her for me there said Hammy was lost and he couldn't find her anywhere. I didn't know how to react when I heard the news and for that I'm feeling somewhat guilty. Having being the owner, I haven't seen Hammy for almost 4 months ever since I left her at Melaka and now I may never get to see her again.
Apparently what happened was, Hammy always disliked being caged in. Since I would normally had her cage on top of my shelf, I would leave the cage door open so she would be free to roam out of the cage around the vicinity on the top of the shelf, just so that she wouldn't feel stressed out being caged in. Whenever I forgot to open the cage door, she would normally chew on the cage and signal me.
Before flying back to Kuching for my internship, I had planned to sneak Hammy through but then the risk (and the penalty fine) was too much if she was caught because I couldn't bring her on board and I couldn't bring her back to Melaka either. I did tried to call AirAsia to ask whether animals were allowed on board even if I got a health permit from the vet and they just responded that animals or pets are STRICTLY PROHIBITED. I had no choice but to leave Hammy in Melaka knowing what was at stake.
After I left for Kuching, my housemate was keeping an eye on her with the cage in the living room. When I called my housemate to check on her, he said she was always chewing on the cage bars, so I told her to let her out of the cage to roam and make sure every possible exit route was sealed. So my housemate did just that for quite some time and according to my housemate, she would normally end up at the same spot waiting for him to bring her up into her cage. It was usually safe since the living room of our rented house is practically empty with nothing.
But on that monday, she never came back.
I asked my housemate to search the fridge and the washing machine, probably she got curious and crawled into the holes and got stuck inside. According to him, the main entrance door was sealed shut and every possible hole was too small for Hammy to go through. I've asked him to set small traps by scattering sunflower seeds at corners and leave the cage on the floor of the living room with the door open and wait for her to return back. I really don't know wad to do right now. The last time I saw Hammy was through a webcam my housemate video called on msn. I can't help but feel so damn fucking helpless and the fact that I'm opposite across the South China Sea isn't really helping at all in any bit.
I hope she comes back safe and sound. I really miss her.
Sigh...

I've never posted a random entry like this. You were warned.
Looking at a few old photos I had in my laptop, I just realized how much I miss Hammy! I posted an entry on her here in my assignment blog. I missed playing with her golden fur and looking at her adorable round eyes starring back.
look at those ears, eyes and legs!
aiyoohhhh...
可爱到.......
Hammy likes blogging too *tap tip tap*
something you don't see very often in Kuching

Hammy likes blogging too *tap tip tap*I hope my melaka housemate is taking good care of her. Hope Hammy remembers me when I fly back Melaka in a few months. The flood in Kuching I'm still not so sure now, sometimes got sometimes dun have, very confusing. Amidst all the damages and loss the flood has brought upon us, am I the only one to see the beauty in it all here in this photo?
something you don't see very often in KuchingBeing in Kuching for a WHOLE semester is definitely a different turn for things. I'm starting to miss going to class, hanging out with my housemates, driving out with them for lunch and dinner, that period of total freedom and no one to control what you decided for yourself. The thing most that I miss doing is, well...cooking. Believe it or not, I don't know whether I blogged about this before but I remembered posting an entry here about this salmon dish that I made for lunch.
I still remembered the dinner that I cooked there and of course snapped a photo of it to mark the occasion here.
Then I started experimenting and doing some research and digging online for recipes, dishes and cooking methods and came up with a few more dishes.
One time I even tried cooking the famous (and also my favourite) Kacang-Ma chicken for my housemates. They weren't very accustomed to it, but some liked it and I remembered tze chee finishing every last drop of the soup with plain rice.
but now no chance to cook liaw, because the only time when I get to be at home is after working hours at 5pm, and dinner starts at 6. To tell ya the truth, I can't wait to fly back to Melaka or anywhere for that matter. In fact, if it's possible, I would like to buy a cheap plane ticket to KL to be away from Chinese New Year.
Back to food, speaking of which, I have a new favourite dish now which I'm having it at least once a week near my industrial training.
Lui Char!!!
and a new spot that I sometimes go for breakfast that serves the best "seafood" kolo mee or 鲜料面 near petanak area, just opposite Fry Days, infamous for the half naked dressed uncle here,
Kennedy should be drooling over this photo now.
*slurp*
Just finished work now and halfway writing this entry, I just realized that I left the power supply cable for my laptop at the office! Clumsy me. So I'd better end this entry before my laptop runs out of juice.
random entry, end.
