  • Three Week Summary

    Renovation has officially completed; we made our final payment last Thursday and the final touches were done yesterday. All the furniture are in as well. Mode Studio didn’t screw up and delivered the remaining furniture as scheduled.

    I pay a lot of attention to detail and there were some minor issues with the renovation (as usual). Carpentry, plumbing and electrical works needed personal supervision but overall we rate our interior designer highly for their design creativity and project management. We are especially pleased with their flooring, painting and solid surface works.

    I’ve been very busy but I will post some photos of the completed work soon.

    Work as usual, hamsters are still alive and kicking. I’m trying to find some time to pick up my R/C hobby again as the sloping season’s back but my time has been all tied up by the house renovation. Cleaning a new house has proved to be quite a chore as the dust settles each day.

    I have also attempted cooking. BTW, it’s not exactly cheap for two persons to cook at home. Breakfast is easy but I haven’t been very successful with my first dinner dish. However, the wife makes nice Chinese soup dishes!

    It’s just one more month before the year comes to an end. Time to close yet another chapter and kick start 2010. It will be a very exciting new year!

  • Hamsters, Day 21!

    We wanted to wait a bit more before giving them names from the musical scale (as there were seven of them), but unfortunately on the morning of 11 Sep 2009, I found one of them dead. I just got out of bed and was counting noses… 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6… and… 1 head! Yes, I saw a head with no body. 🙁

    The poor hammy was probably bitten to death by the mother and then later cannibalized by the rest. We buried it under a tree at my block.

    After the incident, we separated the hammies from their mother. They are all getting cuter and furrier as the days pass. We’re also finally able to tell their genders this week.

    Look at how they sleep!

    Oh aren’t they so cute? Look at how they sleep! One little nose peeking out for some fresh air.

  • Hamster Pups on Day 7

    Nothing much changed. They still sleep all day and look like tiny little sausages, though tiny little hairs and ears have grown.

    They’ve begun grooming themselves and eating some food. Hopefully in two days’ time they’ll wander around the cage so I can play with them!

  • Little Hamsters!

    Our female hamster gave birth to a litter of seven pups on the morning of Aug 22, 2009! The pups are 3 days old now and mummy hamster just happened to carry them over to somewhere else where I could take some good shots.
