I had my first hamsters in the winter of 2007 and since then I started to collect cages and toys for my hamsters. I still remember the first time my hamster had babies and I kept them in the closet so our Ayi couldn’t find them. It has been a long time and they kept me company during my hardest time. I know it’s kind of ridiculous to be emotional for a guy like me but when it is getting to the point where I have to goodbye to them, I do feel reluctant to let go of them. They are just too cute. There were moments when I felt I had too many hamsters but never did I think it’s boring or nonsense to feed them and watch them grow. It’s not going to be forever and I knew it since the beginning but it’s been the time that I can cherish whenever I recall it. I gave my hamsters to my classmates and my friends who I can trust enough, so that my hamsters can enjoy the rest of their lives without worrying about being sold or being eaten by cats. Now it looks as if the only thing waiting ahead is my departure on Sunday, and surviving the agony of separation might quite well be the lesson I have to learn very soon.

These little creatures are funny and cute, and I still think this way. I am not tired of keeping all of them. They will be missed so much if one day they are all gone. But now, let's enjoy the moment with them.

Some were given away, and some were still kept in the cages. Right now, for the first time since I moved to this new apartment, my hamster population shrinks to 4, which I think is a perfect number for me to keep, even though one of the hamsters had 8 babies on the first day of the National Day-7 hamsters, to be exact-one was eaten by its mom, I suppose. So the new schedule for hamster adoption should launch soon, since those little creatures grow so fast. The curiosity and excitement I used to have are all gone as time goes by, yet I don't feel it's a burden for me to carry every day. Still, these hamsters can help me kill some of the boring time I might endure, and that's a blessing. The National Day holiday is finally over, and it passed so fast. I gave up my plan of going home a few days before the holiday, and I can imagine how exhausted I might have been if I took the plane home and back here. Mom called me several times during the holiday, and I am glad she's cool with it and that everything's good back home. I still have several annual leave days left, and I might choose one of the days when traffic is not crowded to get back.

A new start...

I thought she just got fat because I always feed her on her favorite food, but I didn't really care that much since I got another fatter girl who just eats and sleeps. It was raining yesterday and I got back quite late. Actually it was my first time to work after 6pm, and I was really surprised to find that my little fat hamster had 5 little cute hamsters already. What a nice surprise! They are quite tiny without any hair, and their eyes are not open. All I can do right now is guarantee the mother has enough food, so that she won't eat her babies.

I was trying to show one of my strongest hamsters to my colleagues, and never did I think he bit me on my index finger so hard that I bled all over the floor. The fat hamster didn't let go until I threw him on the ground. That was the hardest bite I ever had by an animal in my entire life. I suddenly ran to the bathroom to clean my wound. I was a little bit worried about the bite, since there might be something wrong with his teeth, like germs and viruses. Later, I looked up the information about hamsters bites, and all I got was it would be ok if I just washed the wound. Well, I just did, so that means I will be ok? Another interesting thing is it's said if someone is bitten by the hamster to bleed, then the person will get some lucky money afterwards. So I completely calmed down after I cleaned my finger, sitting on the chair observing those little bastards. Right before I wanted to go to bed, one of my classmates showed up, and he handed me two hundred and forty RMB, saying it's from the publisher who I mailed my papers to. Wow, it was such a long time ago that I don't even remember, and now after the bite I got the money. Interesting! The superstition is true. So whenever you need any money, just let the hamsters bite you real hard, and you will get the money out of it.

Da hamsters are back again~~~me now got 10 hamsters now...yay...

Ever since moved to this new house, Jacky and Sally like to sleep facing the wall, and it looks like they are confessing to the wall...Now, you take a look.

I once noticed this beautiful round crystal palace online, and then I decided to get one for my Sally and Jacky. Prupru said if I love it, then get it. So today, I finally went to get one. The thing is, I didn't know how big it is until I saw it in person. Jesus!! It's like a huge space shuttle for a hamster! When putting it on the desk in my dorm, and whenever I look at it, I couldn't help laughing--Man! it's just funny to have this weird thing there. It's definitely cuter when it's 100% smaller. But hey, I paid for what I got. This thing ain't cheap! It's called a palace! lol...

Another thing is, you see, Sally is getting fatter and fatter each day, and my poor Jacky couldn't find any possible chance to get close to her, let alone some other things he might intend to do. So I put my Jacky in this palace, and my goal is to get him fat...well, stronger, to be specific. So hopefully, after several weeks, he can gain some weight and get what he wants.

Man, it's a big one	Enough space for J&S
Magnificent!	Shhh~~Jacky's sleeping in there

It's going to be Mice Year soon, and time is always flying faster than we could imagine. It was very coincidental that I got two cute hamsters last November. Right now, they are growing fast and healthily, though the female is growing bigger, which makes the male silly hamster harder to XXX...lol...I always laugh at him when he gets pushed off from his girlfriend on his back with his feet in the air when he tries to do something with his dragon lady. That is so hilarious. Here are some cute pictures I took like several days ago...

He is a very naughty boy...	She is a sassy girl...
Taking a bath, whatcha lookin'at?	Am I pretty?

My little ham gave me a show the other day, and Justin Timberlake was singing for him! AWESOME!

I should have recorded them more clearly...:P

Sally asks Jackie:" Would you like to have fun for the rest of your life or you want to be with me for the rest of your life?"

Jackie thinks for a moment, then says:"Why don't we have fun together for the rest of our lives?"

Then Sally runs into Jackie's arms...

That's how I meet them, and decide to nurture them for the rest of their lives.
