SMRT operation management is really ...

Stuck on a slow moving packed train with a wailing baby is no joke...

Mild headache has evolved into a throbbing one...

With no service announcements, I can only guess that the rain has affected train service to such an extent that we are stopping for a few minutes at each station.

I just wish some brilliant scientist would improve the teleporting process to include human beings. The possibilities are endless!

Don't use your handphone if you are driving...

How to drive when you are holding your handphone in 1 hand while trying to steer with the other hand?

Did you realize you are taking up 2 out of 3 lanes in your attempt to multi-task during peak hour traffic...

Zoom zoom, the newest addition to the family watching Snow White and the Huntsmen with us...

2 little cuties in the family!

2 white faced roborovski hamsters were adopted recently by my brothers.

They are so cute la!

Somehow they looks like tiny pigs to me... cos of their facial features.

One of the hamsters is very active and the way it "exercises" on the wheel just makes me laugh.

So hilarious.

Also can be found on YouTube.

If you want to change lanes...

 Kindly do the necessary checks before swerving into someone's lane...

Idiotic van driver who indirectly damaged 2 cars but managed to got off scot-free...

You will get what you deserve one day!

Subsequent addition to the family - Squeaky & Nami

We thought of adopting another male hamster as a playmate to Fly ever since we observed that he gets quite depressive sometimes.

I stalked Singapore Hamsters Club everyday and finally adopted 2 hamsters from a forum user.

We actually only wanted just 1 hamster but the owner preferred both to be adopted together.

After discussing with HIM, we decided to just go ahead with the adoption which lead to a series of unfortunate events!

Instead of just 1 hamster, we adopted 2...

These supposed-to-be-male hamsters as assured by the owner turned out to be FEMALES...

These 2 hamsters which were cohabiting in peace previously started fighting when introduced into their new cage...

Seriously, the situation almost got out of control.

We did not get the playmate for Fly as we intended...

Instead of just preparing 1 cage, we had to setup 2 cages...

Anyway, these 2 hamsters are much more fierce as compared to Fly.

Introducing the tamer 1 - Squeaky which will squeak when she is feeling threatened.

Next is Nami which is like a watch dog. Always on the alert!

They are starting to grow on us though.

Our first activity once we get home is to check on them and 'play' with them for at least a few minutes before carrying on with other activities.

Although having  3 hamsters in 3 cages is more than what we had bargained for, the pleasure and laughter we get from them is all worth it!

New addition to the family - Fly

It is only natural to have a new addition to the family although we have still yet to finish up on the painting =0

Initially, we reared guppies but the population fluctuates at ridiculous rate due to our inexperience.

Buy 10 guppies... 8 died... Buy another 10... 6 died... 20 babies! 15 babies died...

Too traumatizing and changing of water was a pain especially with babies guppies in the tank.

I managed to find a fellow podder who was willing to let us adopt a hamster from her.

But we backed out in the last minute and decided to adopt from SPCA instead.

Somehow, I felt more comfortable with this decision and I would also get to see and 'choose' the ONE which I felt a bond with.

At the SPCA, each cage contains only 1 hamster and all cages are stacked into another netted cupboard to protect the tiny beings from the cats caged in the same room enclosure.

We had some difficulties trying to spot a hamster which we felt a bond with.

Trying to peek in with squinting eyes and spot the hamsters hidden in the dark cages.

But it was all very exciting.

We knew we wanted an active one and were keeping a lookout for one that is on the move.

We selected Fly who was 1 of the more active ones and were given the chance to interact with him.

It was love at first sight when Fly allowed us to cup him in our hands.

Introducing Fly - our winter white hamster son!

I would say it is worth a trip going down to SPCA especially if you are 'picky' and love at first sight is an important criteria in your selection process.

You will get to interact with your selected hamster before adoption and the staff are quite friendly.

Furthermore, you are doing a good deed by re-homing these abandoned hamsters.

Do take note that you have to bring along an empty cage and there is an adoption fee of $10.
