Circus hamsterMy sister showed me an article in the Borneo Post yesterday about how the movie Ratatouille jacked up popularity of keeping rats as pets in the US. The article also mentioned that rats are highly intelligent creatures that are capable of learning tricks.
"Just like PP," my sister said with much satisfaction.
I take pride that my hamster son knows a few tricks:
1. The Toilet Trick
This was first trick I taught him. Prior to this I have never trained a hamster before. Honestly, I had no idea as to whether hamsters are smart enough to learn tricks or not. Anyway, I aimed to teach him to enter his toilet compartment on cue, so what I did was to tap the compartment cover and say, "Toilet! Toilet!". At the same time, I lured him to the toilet using some food. The moment he climbed into the toilet, I rewarded him with a worm. After that, it was matter of repeating the command over and over again until he learned to associated entering the toilet with being rewarded with food.
2. The House Trick
Same as the toilet trick, only this time he has to enter his sandbath compartment before he gets rewarded. This trick is relatively new because I only started teaching him two days ago. It's slightly trickier to convince him to enter the sandbath compartment because it has only one entrance.
3. The Climbing Trick
My mother taught him this one, which involves climbing up the grills of the cage for a reward. At first I thought it was just a coincidence, but he performed spectacularly yesterday in front of me and so I'm more or less convinced that it's a real trick, and not some acrobatic fluke.
Sometimes when I'm too slow in giving him the worm, the boy would get really hyper and start to perform all his tricks at one go and it's really, really funny to watch because he's rather clumsy when he's excited. Haha.

Scribblings in D minorThe girl stood naked at the window and lit her cigarette.
The air outside was wrapped in a light grey evening mist, cold and surprisingly clean. She could smell the dampness of old wood from the windowpane, mingled with the green scent of chlorophyll from the nearby shrubs.
She ducked a little lower, and folded her left arm in to cover her breasts. A shadow appeared beside her.
"Lend me your lighter. I think mine ran out of gas."
Without looking, she slid the lighter over to him. She heard the soft scrape of flint as he lit up his cigarette, and blew a thick stream of smoke from his pursed lips.
She moved a little closer to him to bask in the light, but unmistakable male scent of sweat, testosterone, and the heady afterglow of sex. Surrounded by a storm of words unspoken, but thoroughly comfortable with the silence, they both stood side by side in the eye of an emotional tornado that threatened to upset the precarious balance of nature and wreck everything good and holy to pieces. But they knew that they were both safe, as long as they stayed in the eye.
"I can't believe I'll be moving to SomeOtherCountry next week," she said softly.
"Yeah me too," he sighed. "But you're doing this for your career, so it's a good thing. You should go."
But I don't want to leave! Who's going to take care of the most important part of me when I'm gone? Who am I going to replace you with? WHO ARE YOU GOING TO REPLACE ME WITH?
God, she wanted to scream till the sky overhead cracks and shatters at her feet. But she doesn't. She lit up another cigarette.
"What are you doing later tonight?"
She shrugged, not wanting to meet his eye. "I don't know, maybe go for dinner with my boyfriend or something. You?"
He smirked. "I'll be at home accompanying my mother."
"Bullshit. But I'll call you later when I'm done?"
"Yeah, okay."

Fast forward. Pause. RewindThis happened yesterday:
Me: *puzzled* You got fatter meh?
NN: Huh?
Me: You... said that you got fatter?
NN: NO! I SAID THAT I KNOW THIS GUY ON FRIENDSTER!!!
Me: Ohhhh...
Which immediately led to:
Me: Ya, I think so too.
NN: Tell your B to get you one.
Me: Can you imagine next time if I say, "Honey, I am sad..." and then he goes, "What? You want sex?"
NN: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Me: Okay, now that is so lame.
But worst of all, my face is a bloody pimple factory. Actually it's nothing compared to some people with horrid acne breakouts and scar craters (I can burst my pimples and not leave any scars, thank goodness!) but still it's rather upsetting to have pimples when you're no longer a teenager with crazed hormones.
At least, I think I'm right about the teenager part. Not too sure about the hormones, though.

i don't want to use CAPS today because it's a bloody waste of timeand if you have no idea what i'm talking about, that's because you don't have facebook so go get one, but don't blame me if you get addicted because facebook is definitely another of satan's tools.
friendster is sooooooooooooooooo yesterday. actually facebook is like friendster... on steroids. it's mind-numbingly good. friendster is so embarassingly boring and outdated.
come join the facebook bandwagon.
a little side note that you're not suppose to read, so be polite and look away.
sometimes when i call you a *insert vulgarity here*, you'd think that i was joking and laugh, but would it make your hair drop if i told you that i meant every word i said? :)

ZombiefiedI think it is extremely possible. In fact, if I dropped dead now, could one of you kind blog readers tell the coroner not to waste his time on an autopsy and just put "hyperexhaustion" under the "cause of death" column?
Okay, I'm being morbid. I'm so braindead, but strangely my fingers are still very much alive.
Anyway, Chester's owner tagged me again with this shopping tag:
It’s very simple. When you receive this tag, copy the whole list and add your own shopping tip to the bottom and pass it on.
1. Wear comfy clothing when you’re shopping. You don’t wanna fuss with too many laces and buttons when you’re trying clothes on.
http://rinnah-marketplace.blogspot.com
2. Never shop on an empty stomach. You end up buying a whole lot more than you meant to! And this applies to everything, not just food!
http://www.reviews.pinkelle.com
3. Make a list of what you need to buy and stick to it. Do not go browsing in the store and do not look left or right but focus on just getting what you came to the store for, get it, pay for it and get out! And always keep your receipt in case you change your mind, not happy or the item is broken due to manufacturer’s fault so it will be covered by warranty!
4. Remember to bring your ‘plastics’ and/or cash with you when you go shopping or when you plan to JUST window shop!
4. 5. Before you buy something expensive, ask yourself, "Is this a NEED or a WANT?". If you can't stop thinking about it for three whole days and nights, it is definitely a NEED, so go ahead and buy it. If you can get someone else to buy it for you as a gift, it's even better.

Rolltongue postI would say JAPANESE ALL THE WAY!!! DISH OUT THE RAW SEAFOOD!!! OYSTERS!!! SALMON!!! TUNA!!! SWORDFISH!!! MACKEREL!!! AND MY HOKKIGAI... OH HOW I LOVE MY HOKKIGAI...
Hokkigai a.k.a Atlantic surf clam. Salty and slightly rubbery... but yumsIf I were the upper management, I'd just stick to some generic buffet dinner menu. Less troublesome. After all, I think we're all old enough to eat whatever food that's served without kicking up a fuss.
Alot of people I know would eat anything as long as it's chased down with unlimited alcohol.
On the activity front, there are suggestions to hold a singing competition. Unfortunately, the number of contestants taking part (so far) is more than one but less than three. HAHAHAHAHA.
Alaa... no need whatever activities or events lah. After all, we're also old enough to keep ourselves entertained. You'd be surprised to see how much people can be entertained by just sitting around in small groups and gossiping away.
Rolleyes post
The only activity I'm keen on is a lucky draw because I love freebies. Unfortunately nobody is going to suggest a lucky draw because, well, I don't think anyone fancies telling the management to shell out extra money for prizes. Haha.
I don't know why we can't just go to the dinner, stuff ourselves with food, then go home. That's the whole point** of company annual dinners, innit?
** Yeah, I know there's the getting pissed drunk factor, but I since I don't drink, it doesn't come into the equation.

Desktop memeChester's owner tagged me with this desktop meme.
On the hamster front, the boy LOVES coconut. Obviously not as much as he loves his mealworms, but coconut comes a very close second.
And like the little diva that he is, he ate his tiny coconut slice last night with one leg cocked in the air. It's mildly pornstar-ish, but it amuses the hell out of me.
He's extremely fastidious when it comes to eating coconut. Sometimes the coconut meat would come attached with a bit of brown husk on it, and the boy would diligently eat the meat only and not the tiny bit of husk. Little fusspot.
