To all who knows HamHam (aka Hammy)~
This entry is in memory of my dearest little Hamham who had just passed away yesterday on the 19/07/2006. I bought him on the 12/04/2005 from Midvalley Pet House and was told by the shopkeeper that he was already 4 months old. I just estimated that he was born on the 12/01/2005. He is a pure Pearl White breed hamster and he was my first very own pet.
Two days before he passed away, he was very sick and there was no vet around Nilai. I thought that maybe if he rest a while will be better but the next day still he didn’t get any better. He felt worst at night when I came back late from studying tat night, it was about 2am on the 19th. So I put his cage beside my bed. I hold him, pray and hope in my heart that he will get well but deep down inside i seems to knew that he will be going soon. That was the last time i held him in my arms.
The next morning I woke up, first time i see how he was. He was still breathing…but very weak already. Not knowing what really to do, I caress him then went to breakfast. But when i back from breakfast…he was already gone :~ I wasn’t beside him when he left…i was stunned for a few second…
My mind went blank…i felt like my body just work like a robot without thinking and subconciously, I got a little pink box to use it as his coffin. Filled it with his favourite apple scented sawdust, lay him inside and gave him some of his favourite sunflower seed. My roomate accompany me downstairs my block to one of the trees outside my window to bury him under the tree. It was a simple ceremony with just two of us…I said my love and goodbye to him one last time before I close the lid and bury him. I was in a hurry tat time so only today i finally finish making the tombstone for him cited "In memory of my beloved Hamham born 12/04/2005 died 19/07/2006". All those who loved Hamham, please do pay him a visit. Me and Hamham will really appreciate it. His grave location is at 4th window, Block D facing block E, Inti hostel.
I believe that Hamham was one of the lucky hamster that lived a good life. He was still fat tat before he got sick. He tasted cheesecakes and chocolates and many other snacks that I ate. He had bath forthnightly or weekly. He had been to many other places other than my room too. I brought him out for dinner, out for walk during fogging, to study room to accompany me study, to cellgroup with me, to church, to sunway subang and even to FCC Koinonia camp.
Hamham had been such a great friend and companion to me other than just being a cute little furball for me to play with. I believe he understands Hakka, English and Chinese. These where the language often spoken to him. If one ask, who knows me best for the past 1 year~? It’s Hamham. He’s practically my live diary. He knows what I do eveyday and my happiest and saddest moment. He had always there to accompany me when i’m feeling lonely and to cheer me up with not only by looking cute in nature but with his naughty acts of always pretend to stumble and couldn’t get up by himself later on.
Hamham always like to sleep on his back like in human position in anywhere possible even on his running wheel and on his food container. Sometimes he like to sit like a boss there and eat and then fall asleep >_<" i never knew tat hamster can sit like tat until i met him~! He was very lazy until one he was sleeping then suddenly moved. I was curious so i look wat he was doing…he was sleeping AND eating at the same time~! O.o"""
I want to thank on behalf of myself and Hamham to all who had loved, cared and played with Hamham. Here are some people who had I believe significantly close to Hamham: Lulu, who bought Hamham; Johnny Lee, who had take cared of Hamham while i was away for 2 months; Ice, HamHam’s kai ma; Ivy Liew who loved Hamham; Karen Wong, who always play with Hamham when she comes to my room; my roomates yvoonne and Hester who always help me keep an eye on Hamham while I’m away; all my other friends who had befriended Hamham and not forgetting also all those who made fun of Hamham >_<""" lol~
Lastly, I want to thank all my friends who had been concerned, comforted and supported me in this difficult times.
May Hamham rest in peace and may God take good care of him~
