What a nightmare last night. My robo Achira escaped into my small, dusty and cramped storeroom after it jumped out from my hands when i was playing with it on the floor.
For those of you not familiar with robos or Roborovskies(the actual name), they are the smallest species of hamster in the world. You can easily fit 5 of them on your palm. They are known for being nervous and very fast.
So anyway I was like, oh nooo it escaped! Then my dad made things worse by chasing it until it squeezed under the storeroom door !
On opening the store...
oh crap.....It seems to have run under the rack here..and its only a few inches high
The first thing my dad said was," oh great, its going to stink when it dies in there"
I was crawling on my hands ...very hard coz its like a super cramped area. Shone my torchlight in and saw my robo here
How to get it out ??? HOWWWW? It was impossible for me to reach it from my prone position on the floor. even if I could its no easy feat to catch a squirming little fluffball without at least using 2 hands, which was impossible in that situation. In the end I took my robo's ham head house and put it there, hoping my robo would go in...which it did not.
After waiting for it to go in on its own according for like more than 10 minutes I finally just layed down flat on my belly and reached my hand in and tried to shoo it toward the ham head.... after a few minutes of trying while it actually went in! wah..immediately i turned the ham head upward and closed my hand over the hole and took it out!
Finally I popped the little rascal back in her tank.
The culprit safe back in her tank with Paviella her sister.
Took me more than 20 minutes of crawling and prodding to finally capture it back. At 1 am in my pajamas I was covered with dust and sweating like crazy. Had to take a bath. I'm sure the robo did it on purpose.

She has a dream
Friday, November 02, 2007
This seems familiar...
Which is what the cream puff seller must have thought when she saw me, coz she was grinning widely. You see about 1 week ago, laden with shopping bags, I told her, One please.... and fumbled awkwardly for my wallet amidst the sea of bags.
It so happens the same thing happened today. I think the seller must have recognised me, this time also heavily laden with bags and digging here and there in my handbag for my wallet.
Anyway, having done with buying the cream puff, I tried to find my way to the car park but got slightly disoriented. It was really no joke going up and down the shopping mall searching for the exit coz those bags were heavy! By the time I made it to the car and took off, I realised I couldnt lift the cream puff to my mouth because my entire left arm had gone numb from carrying all the bags.
More dejaavu-ness
1. I also bought big bags of pet items last week
2. I also ate the cream puff in the car
3. I was also shopping for birthday presents last week
4. I wished I had put my pet items into the car first after I bought them.
