hammys

i miss having a hamster!!! they're so adorable. my first ever hamster was my favourite one ever... he was a normal Syrian breed one and he grew to be quite big in his 2 years of life with me. that guy was so tame and friendly, he never bit anyone and he was always game to be picked up and brought to funny places to explore. since he was quite fat it was always easy catching him.. not like the dwarf hamsters which are sold everywhere nowadays. theyre ridiculously quick and tiny!! ok so i used to give him a warm shower in the sink with rejoice shampoo once every 2 weeks... and when he was done with his bath i immediately scooped him up in a towel and towelled his fur dry. then he would sleep while inside the towel and it was so blissful just looking at his contented, furry face dozing off. i washed his cage every week and changed the layout (my cage has those plastic tubes which can be assembled yourself) and toys in it each time. damn fun la. since coming to london, ive began to love dogs too but hamsters are much more practical when u live in a flat on the 21st floor. ok its nothing to do w the 21st floor but yaa. when i graduate and go home for good, im gonna get myself a new hamster and love him just as much as i did the 1st one.. can't wait.
