What's the point here?

What's the point of being in a relationship when you know at the end of the day it will eat you inside out?
What's the point of loving someone when you are uncertain of the upcoming result?
What's the point of putting it all nicely together when you know one time the other behalf will crumb it into pieces?
What's the point of getting back when getting back is actually starting from the ground?
What's the point of giving chances when you know it's hopeless?
What's the point of hurting the pride when there's really no less to be found?
What's the point of noticing the small matters when there's a bigger one to be concerned?
What's the point of admitting the truth when the truth told is really a lie?
What's the point of coming into one's life when you're comfortable on your own?
What's the point of trying so hard when the other behalf don't seem to see it at all?
What's the point of admiring when you know it's just something you won't get?
What's the point of approaching someone just so that they'll kick you out of their life, shameful, isn't?

So, here's the one answer for all:

Sayang

Sayang

Sayang

Mengatur Langkah...

Aku aturi langkah lesu penuh kebimbangan, kehujanan. Elok kuatur, selangkah, selangkah. Ku tak mahu terjatuh lagi. Tak mampu terluka lagi. Pedihnya tak upaya ku tanggung. Licin? Ya, memang licin jalannya. Tersilap langkah, bodoh alangku nanti. Malu sendiri di khalayak. Setiap titis hujan kubiarkan mengalir. Biarku perbodohkan diri sendiri, menipu hati, biar tidak kusedar yang mengalir dipipi itu bukannya air dari langit. Biar ku tertawa keseorangan, biar mereka berkata, bukan hatiku yang dilukai.  Biar lah aku dalam duniaku sendiri. Biarkan.

Kadangkala ku tersenyum keseorangan, memikirkan salah-silapku. Ya, semuanya salahku. Tidak pernah dirimu salah. Masa yang salah kuberi. Hari yang salah kuberi. Tempat yang salah kuberi. Info yang salah kuberi. Bukan keluargamu juga aku yang salah. Tidak pernah salahmu. Tidak pernah maaf kau uturkan. Tidak pernah dirimu jatuh seorang pesalah. Semuanya aku. Mungkin juga. Mungkin banyak benar salahku, sehingga sebegini rupa diriku dilayan. Satu demi satu, diriku semakin dekat dengan sampah dijalan hidupmu.

Perlukah kuterus berharap? Perlukah ku terus perbodohkan diri ini? Perlukah kuterus mempercayai masa depan yang tidak pasti? Yang tidak tentu hala tujunya? Yang tidak berpaksi realiti kini? Entah. Aku bodoh sebegini. Suluhkan sinarmu, jika ini yang kau mahu. Aku sesat. Sesat mencari sesuatu yang kusendiri tidak pasti. Tunjukkan apa mahumu. Ku tak rela menunggu. Biarkan ku terus, mengatur langkah.

Life is A Big Fat Drama: Downer.

Have you ever felt this in your life? When you've achieved something, or do something good, and wanna talk about it (not bragging) as it makes you FEEL good, and there's this one person, one particular person who's everything came out from his mouth is nothing but to make you feel bad? And I'm not talking about trolling. I know what that's word means, and it's a joke. I can take it. And I'm sure there're people like this in your life too.

And this person, goes all the way, on and on, trying to get your spirit down, underestimating what you do, provoking you to do something about it. Well, so far, I'm holding it together. I did not, even once, broke down to my knees, cry and snap about it, though he did, several times actually, snapped on me.

Everyone else could see how stupid bitches are

Well, let's get technical. Why do you think he/she tries so hard bringing you down? What's in it for him/her?

I've consulted many friends, and researched about it. The answer is, because you're above them, they feel threatened by your existence, thus, they'll put you down just for the sake of self-satisfaction, or so he/she could be the top dog again.

In my case, admitted, he scored way better marks than me, and he's intelligence, but that's as far he could go. And he could see it I did a lot more than him. I'm not bragging okay, but I think his lack of self esteem brings it to his acts and heart. And when he saw me achieve this and that, he started acting bitchy to me, which is fine actually, as he potrayed his own deficiencies.

Also, the exception is that, when you're the scumbag yourself. That's karma we're talking about. You treat people as how you wanted to be treated, hold to that and you'll be fine.

Moreover, let's not being a self-righteous for a while. We're human. Although we try very hard not to make any mistakes and keep straight on the right path, it's humane to not. People love people, people hurt people, people try to make other people trip, and people try to lift some others. It's what people do.

My advice for those who have the same problem as me, keep it cool. I know, it's hard to handle sometimes, but remember, it's impossible to satisfy everyone with your act. There'll always be scumbags like this in life, one you have to deal with. Just do what you feel right, and let them keep the judgment to themselves. After a while, they'll know what they're doing is stupid, juvenile and vain. Then, they'll be ashamed of themselves. Before you go, this is a site that'll make you feel good, eh?

That's all. Kbye. =)

Hidup Seorang Budak UIA: Bau Badan

Assalamualaikum,

Hari ni nak membebel sket la.. Tadi aku pi makan kat Cafe Ali (baca: cafe aku) , yg mana cafe paling best dalam UIA. Diakui ramai dari Habsah sampai ke Salahuddin. Aku beli nasik, ayam goreng (baca: KFC) n coleslaw. Excited sungguh aku lepas bayar tu. Dari pagi lagi x makan. Pastu berlari-lari kebapaan la ke kaunter air utk membeli secawan air anggur berais (baca: Ribena) yg mmg menjadi feveret aku. Sambil la beratur tu, aku disapa aroma yang sangat memualkan (baca: BAU LOJI), rasa nak muntah pun ade. Tengok kat belakang, sorang mamat black ngah beratur sambil tangan diangkat2 melebihi paras bahu memanggil akak jual air tu. "Mango banana sister!! Mango Banana!!" Dia menjerit2 penuh kehausan tanpa mempedulikan aku yang hampir pengsan, mulut berbuih dan mata terbuntang meminta ehsan dilepaskan dari seksa neraka dunia ittew.

Iced Mango Banana sister!!!

Aku yang dibawah...

Inilah 1 kelemahan jika anda x cukup inci (baca: tinggi lampai) dan menuntut di UIA (baca: Oxford). Jika anda berasa hanya mampu setinggi Zami Ismail, sila batalkan niat nak belajar kat UIA. Ni baru kat cafe, dlam bas lagi la plak. Macam2 campuran, lagi hebat aromanya.

Menda ni x jadi masalah sebenarnya, kalau dorg kenal apa tu Rexona, Right Guard, Safi, Old Spice High Endurance (yg ni bagus), or Adidas, Brylcream, etc. Ni dah la deodorant x pakai, perfume jauh skali. Sekali lalu sebelah berpinar mata rasanya. Menda ni bukan terhad kat lelaki saja. Pompuan foreigner pun sama. Pernah skali aku lalu di belakang minah black ni, bau cam xmandi 2bulan sambil tidur ngan kambing. Pengotor!

If you're not a foreigner, and still was-was pasal bau badan korg, cuba try step ni:

1) Berdiri depan cermin besar dlam bilik korg tu, admire diri sendiri dulu, puji2 sket bagi mengembangkan mana yg patut.
2) Panggil roomate korg, suh cium ketiak korg. Kalau dia hidup lagi lepas tu, tahniah, ketiak anda wangi. Lau dia pitam, hidung berdarah, muntah hijau keluar asid perut, sambil menyumpah seranah anda 1 keturunan, sila panggilkan ambulan cepat2 sambil mengenakan deodorant. Anda tidak mahu menjadi pembunuh bersiri, bukan?

Buat camni...

My message, kenal la diri anda. Kalau sedar diri bau tu hazab, pakai r perfume n deodorant banyak2, supaya x menyusahkan orang laen. Sebelum orang fire kat atas muka, baek kau ubah sendiri. Betul x?

Thanks for reading. Bye2 =) 

Life Is A Big Fat Drama: Of A Cleaner, Friend and Crap.

It's a world's greatest love story, and suddenly I'm a part of it. Ho yeah!! Betapa besarnya hatiku, tankayu!

To those who concerned,

Before everything, may I ask you some questions? Am I not the one who's been a sponge draining every little drops you tear down? Am I not the one who you used to ask for advices? Am I not the one who you'd turn to when everything you want to hear about him you couldn't ask yourself? What did he eat, where did he go, who is that he's friend with, am I not the one who answers all that? Suddenly you stepped up now and I'm the bad guy, you say, conspiring to bring down the one who you love (yes, you still do), my friend?

I can see that. You're a big girl now. You have it all figured out. How's that working out for you? Guess you don't wake up in the middle of the night, crying, thinking about him are you? And maybe you don't walk out of your door with hope of seeing him every single second?

Dear grown-up girl,

GET YOURSELF A BRAIN AND QUIT BITCHING AROUND ABOUT HOW PEOPLE BEING CRUEL TO YOU, AND PLEASE, FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS, QUIT THINKING ABOUT HIM OUT LOUD. YOU BROUGHT THIS UPON YOURSELF!!!

there's no room for a backstabbing bitch in my life

ADIOS!

Life As an English Major: LIKE? What's Wrong With You?

A dialogue in The Glee Project:

Emily: The only thing, though, is like, sometimes you have to be like, be careful (of) what you say,because you like, you might have like, offended Brooke when you say something.
Ellis: What did I say?

Lindsay: You, like, you kinda raise your hand, and you were, like asking for a step, you were, like, "Is that right?"  And she was like "Yeah, you did right." And you were just like, "I just don't wanna look like a dumbasss." (The Glee Project, episode 2, 2011)

You don't have to be an English Major to detect what's wrong with those sentences. Yeah, like, thank you. It's, like, the overusing of the word 'like' in like, almost every part of their conversation. It's how people talk nowadays. So, what's wrong with it? Is it grammatically correct?

Well, 'like' can be used in many range of uses, from conjunction to particles. To explain all these uses would need a special entry, so better look at here.

Though, in some cases, it's annoying and rather almost sad to hear the overusage of this word. For English stickler like me, you can't help it but correcting their sentences.

Apparently, I'm not the only one who's been bothered by these phenomenon, Oprah feels the same. I've watched a show where she, like sarcastically commented on a guest's statement who goes like this:

Guest: I dun know, like, I hate to say it, but like, it's his job, so, like, he has to know what I ordered. When I like, get something else, and if it's like, not good, then I'll complaint. 

Why do you talk like that, BITCH?!!

Don't you think it would be easier if you just say it like this:


Guest: I don't know. I hate to say it, but it's his job. So, he has to know what I ordered. When I get something else, and if it's not good, then I'll complaint. (?)


English is easy, don't complicate it. B'sides, for me, those who talks like this resembles their weakness in conveying message, aren't stable in making decision, and forgive my word, dumb. That's why Paris Hilton and  Nicole Richie talk that way.

That's all from a blabbering student, TQ.

Life is A Big Fat Drama: Funk

I dun know what happened to me lately. I've been perpertually angry, constantly feeling like yelling at people the whole time? Last Sunday I scolded a McD receptionist, after yelling at Celcom operator when they changed my Celcom plan from UOX to normal XPAC.

I know it was wrong. But undeniably, it does feel good afterwards. Maybe after having too much to conceive, I finally let go of the Sue Sylvester in me, except rather than wearing incredibly unchanging sportswear,I let this one go naked and primal. I felt embarassed but at the same time relieved.

I dun think I can get out much in here. I mean, expressing your emotion in writing does feel great, especially when the things you're writing are words you can't verbally discharge, but I rather talk to someone in person. Better yet, I'm gonna call him now. If you have any idea to help me, leave it in the comment box, or message me, FB, phone, I dun mind. Just don't tell me I have to go to therapist.

P/S: Last night I dreamed of my crush is 41-years-old and have 2 children already. Shoot.

Okay people, now get out of here, and get a life. 

Thanks for reading. TQ. =)

Friendship VS Love

These things have been a major conflict in me for a very,very long time. Funny though, after hurts and triumphs, no one among these two come up to be the winner. I don't really have a bestfriend, nor a lover. Why? I'll tell you why.

Read carefully what I've written, and try to relate to your life. You met a person, you feel good being with him/her. You're comfortable around him/her, keep texting each other to the very last details, you have a feeling though undecidedly whether it is just a friendship or love. You lost in contact or decided to wait and see what happened next without doing anything, and then you stop trying, and you drift further away from one another, and suddenly all those texting, missing, adoring become awkwardly strange. You meet a new person and this happens again and again. Now, this is my 1st reason.

Secondly, friendship and love has always, always been a rival to one another. How do I put this...? Hurm... Lets say he/she is undefinately awesome, and single (my friends are always single when I first know them),I feel comfortable around him/her, and I trusted him/her. In fact, the bonding itself built of trust...

Then out of the blue, he/she falls back in line, finding her/himself with someone they like, and everything else after that is history.

You know you need to back off when they started to choose their crush over you. You have been with him/her for a long time, going from the river deep to mountain high, the suddenly there's this prince charming come by, sweeping up your friend, leaving you numbed and shocked behind while they're sailing to Wonderland. How you could not being hurt by that?

Well yeah, being a friend, encouraging them to find their happiness, that's what you do. But deep in your heart, you need to know this means you're no longer will be their priority. Suddenly this guy/girl who appear just for a brief become your friend's bestfriend, and you're just another bag he/she left behind.

To be honest, I do not blame them. It's natural. It's what love do. It drives you deaf and blind, numb and dumb. It's perfectly okay. I mean, you can't honestly believe I can fight over love, can I? It's human's most primal instinct. So, the best way is to step back on this one, hurt a little bit, and get over it. Though watching from afar, looking at them while saying 'Goodluck, my friend. I love you.' can be very very sad. That's just what you have to do, as a friend.

Just want you to know that I'm stepping down, because I love you, and what we did together are legendary.

Rilex Jap..

Have no idea and too lazy to write. *Bunking back in bed. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Thanks for viewing.

What Lies Ahead?

Have you ever wondered sometimes? What's the path you're taking will lead to?  Is it clear enough that you can see right through it? Or is it still fogged with confusion and dilemma of what people expecting you to do and what your true interest in? Robert Frost helped us with 'The Road Not Taken', showing us of what it might be if we took the other path instead of what you're doing right now.

As an English Major, I'm looking forward to something artsy. If you're a regular reader, then you might know what I'm involve with in UIA. I'm practically bonded with theater, plays and stage show. But never intended to earn my living with showbiz world. I'm not a 'retis'. The dream of showbiz world is unlikely the most promising ones. In fact, it's the most unrealistic one. Also, my family wouldn't like it much. Yes, my passion is there, but I'm not gonna do it.

Often people ask me, what would an English Major end up after their graduation? The answer is so many. But for those who're in villages, who don't get too much exposition, I'll just say "Kuar nanti jadi cikgu la. Mengajar." End of story. If I say "Oh I dun know. Maybe a forensic linguist? Or corporate trainers? Lexicographers? Speech-analyzer? Hurm.. I think I'm just gonna settle down with translator, rated about RM0.50 per words. That'll do." Then their jaws will drop and "What?". Then I'll have to explain more.

The art of fate is so deliberate. Some are born with silver spoon in their mouth and ended up sweeping the roadside. Some started out with nothing now own a cosmetics empire (Hello Sosilawati!). An uncle of mine who's a biotechnology Master graduate is now doing financial, investment and venture capital thingy , and couldn't complain less about it. Another uncle, who's an applied science graduate quitted his job and now

opens a photography shop, teaching other people about it. My former director, an English Major graduate now works as sales executive. My point is, the courses you're taking is a preparation to the real world. Real world begins after your graduation.

Personally I believe that you should do what you'd like to do, and what you're good at. Can't be more specifics than that. But granted, you can't always get what you want. sometimes, life's good at playing tricks. But till that, you just have to be patient, and live with it.

What is it for me? Well I have my life planned ahead good enough for me. Now I'm doing some translations for websites for free. Yes, for free. I'm doing it for experience, just until I'm calibrate enough to do a paid job. Then, I'll be doing some travel and venture journalism independence till I graduate. By the time I finish my degree, I'll be qualified to do both translations and journalism. That'll be enough for my part time job upon continuing my Master. Then it'll be a full time career, and I'll be travelling everywhere, and with God's willing, I'm taking my mother with me. Marriage? Life partner? That can wait.

Then, by the time I'm 50 or something like that, I'll be teaching at local universities to earn my living. Be close to my family, helping with theater and stuffs, and that'll be it.

This is just one of my plans, the one I'm working on. InsyaAllah I'll achieve it someday. Pray for me.. Amin...

Life is A Big Fat Drama: Tartuffe

It is ironic, isn't? The things you study in a class involved so much in your personal life. Yes, it does sounds comical but believe me, none of these are made up. I sometimes hope so too, that this is just a dream where I can wake up from suddenly when it's too much to bear. But no. It's not like that. At least not for now.

If life really is a big fat drama, I'd prefer Tim Burton to direct mine. I'll be in a magical land, and a happy ending is a promise. Or Craig Thomas and Carter Bay, one story ends in one episode. But no. My life isn't directed by these people. I am directing my life, and I've done a pretty bang up job so far. Though it's not, 100% not my fault.

I'd care to tell these whole problem to one person, one in particular. And to all of you who think I'm matter enough for you to care about, yes, but family business is strictly off the net. All I can say is, read Tartuffe, and you'd have idea of what I'm talking about. For those airhead who don't bother to read, or say they read, but actually just got the synopsis, let me fill you in.

Tartuffe is a French play about how a stranger can cause so much trouble into a family that adopted him, masked by his pretentious pious, modelling character, who revealed to be an evil greedy notorious hog.

One who I, we trusted so much, betrayed us in the end. I remember those hands, they feed me when I was a little boy. Now, they took things that are supposed to be us. What you give, you get back, they say. But you take them way too much. May be those pills and drinks and worldly pleasures have numbed your senses of judgement, senses of humanity. I don't know.. None of you are what you're used to be.

Frankly speaking, I want nothing else but to retrieve what you've taken, and you back into our little coven. Come back to where you belong. Come back home.

What Is It?

Assalamualaikum,

Yeah, I know, cliche intro, "Sorry for the silence, busy, assignments, yada yada", padahalnye x busy sgt pun. Malas je yang sebenarnye. Yelah, sape je pun yg view blog aku nieh. Kawan2 fesbuk, followers yang bengang sal ak x follow dorg balik (I'm sorry yea.. Klau follow tu tggal r link kt chatbox.. ak xpandai trace. Nanti ak follow balik", paling2 pun stalkers yang x pernah penat lelah menyusahkan hidup ak. TQ. Seriously, thank you. U've helped me to brightened up my world and see what I never saw before. As hard as I to admit, u brought out the colors into this life, and for that, I owe you one.

Ok, what else, yeah. Sue da give birth to a girl, namely Cub, which is 2 months a go (YARRKHH?!). And, Panda, my guinea pigs, da menyumbang kepada kebuntingan 2 ekor betina, CoCoPuff, and one that is unnamed yet, and both gave up 2 babies. 2 more sarat mengandung, tunggu masa jea. Tgk la nnt, aku upload cni ea.

Mid Term. Offensive matter. Honestly, aku rasa boleh jawab Mass Comm n Morphology jea. SoHa, Phonetics n Drama aku da campak ketepi. Tengok je la camne nanti.. Harap2 la pass. Target sem ni nak dpt dean list, insyaAllah. Lama dah mak aku tunggu anak dia ni nak dpt dean list.

Oh, speaking of drama, sem ni aku x join mana2 teater sbb da terikat dengan my own play, namely Tartuffe, which is originally a French play. Tartuffe means an imposter in French. Ape tu 'imposter'? Cam con artist la.. Klau layan Ocean's The Series, or Leverage, tau la. Tarikh pementasan, xtau lagi. Between 13-14 Disember. TAHUN ni. X kuasa ak nk tunggu smpai tahun depan.

Sem ni jugak, I've learned something about friendship. Sebenarnya aku da tahan lama, cuma malas nak meletup. Bukan aku takut, but I'm more to thinking about the consequences. Lagi boleh sabar, aku sabar. Tapi da tgk aku da laen tu faham2 je la. STOP YOUR CRAPS. Jangan sampai tangan yang berbicara.

Mungkin aku yang dulu da lama bagi dah, tapi sejak I met someone, dia da banyak ubah aku, jadi lebih rational, patience, matured in short. Dulu aku jenis pemarah, outspoken. Kalau x suka, aku cakap x suka. Sekarang, I'm more to jaga hati kawan, mungkin ada sebab dia wat camtu, I try to reach to him. Tp ni x bermakna selama-lamanya aku berdiam. Lots about this, I learned from him.

Oh no. Him who I'm talking about is not my love life. No. Aku masih waras utk menyintai seseorang yg mempunyai genitals yang sama dengan aku. The world's population is reaching up to 6 BILLIONS. I'm sure there's someone somewhere for me. But for now, biar la dulu. Aku lebih berfikir untuk membahagiakan family aku sebelum membahagiakan anak orang.

Is there someone special in my life? Of course yes. But it's too soon to tell. No rush.

Though, there's a girl I keep my eyes on. She's fair, good looking, and a wife material. Apa tu wife material? Come on, it's not like I keep a long list of that. Ok, you twisted my arm. She's modest, lovable, patience, likes kids, a wonderful cook, and easy on the eyes. Doesn't really to meet the Hitchcock's definition of beauty, (tall, skinny, blonde, humunguos racks, etc) but, hey, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Oh this reminds me of my Drama lecture. Well, I'll save it for our next post, ok? OK. Keep in touch, lau x add aku agie kat fb, add ah. I'd like to know you. If we're already friends, remember me in your prayers, k? I always pray for you.

That's it I think. Thanks for viewing, Assalamualaikum.

Letter to Yaya (Guide for Newbie Hedgehog Owner Part-Two)

Dear Yaya,

This is my second half of the letter, and this will tell you as much possible what you need to take care of hedgehog. I've already talked about caging, bedding, diet and toys in here (click for part one), now we'll proceed to the behaviour, which I think is the most important thing.

BEHAVIOUR

Like any other hedgehog, Joey is a territorial animal, means that he best kept alone, except for the certain time when sexual intercourse may happen. However, they might be able to live together, provided with big cage, like Sue and James.

1. Joey is as I mentioned before, a hyperactive, that means he likes to run around, and that WILL result in him redecorating the entire cage, your decorations, wheel, toys, bed, everything. So, what might be the problem here is the feeding bowl. I'm suggesting that you buy the commercial feeding bowl to ensure that the food doesn't fall on the floor. Something like this:

Or any other feeding bowl that you think is suitable. Something with a wide base for the stability. For the water, give him in a bottle like this:

 This might costs you Rm5++...

2. Besides that, Joey is still a baby. He's 2-months-old, and as human babies, he might poop a lot especially when you're trying to pick him up (though I've never had any experience with Joey poop all over me, just for the warning). I've had the same experience with Sue, but it got over as she grow older. 

3. Joey likes to climb. Pick him up and he'll climb all over you. This wouldn't be a problem unless you didn't cut his toenails, or else, it might hurt you a little bit. 

4. Also, if you find him sniffing on something, then he do a little acrobatic act, bending his back like this:

don't worry. This is called annointing. He'll produce white bubbles from his saliva and put it on his back. He'll do this if he finds new scents and like it.

5. Next, Joey is a baby, and that will put him in a quilling phase. Quilling phase is when he lose his old quills and grow new ones. At this phase, he might be a little bit jumpy, and furious, as it's uncomfortable with him.

CARE AND EMERGENCIES

You might find this section a little bit annoying as well as tiring, but it's what you have to prepare for if you're gonna get a hedgehog.

1. Trim his toenails when you find it's long enough. This is for your own safety actually, cause sharp toenails might hurt you. Of course, there's a way to do it. Just a simple procedure like this:

2. Feed him treat. Treat is as I mentioned, may include vegetation like grapes, oranges, mashed potatoes, or mealworm. This is to make him happier living with you as well as providing enough vitamin.

3. Bleeding or small cut may worry you, but there's the way to treat that. Hold the cut firmly, and apply wet clean towel or clothes, as well as some minyak gamat or olive oil. That'll do the trick. Believe me. He and Sue fight all the time.

4.This might disgust you a little, but hedgehog's health much can be told by the poo. Healthy poop looks like this:

OKay, this is disgusting. Let's scroll down asap.

Letter to Yaya (Guide for Newbie Hedgehog Owner Part-One)

Dear Yaya,

 I know I didn't write a lot in here,and I know you don't even care, but here are the things I want you to listen carefully and take a note, ok? A'ite. First of all, the hedgehog I'm giving you is Joey. Joey is what I'd say crazy or hyperactive. If he's a boy, he'd climb up unto KLCC and jump headfirst to the ground. If he's a girl, he'd take 3 days shopping spree, talk unstoppable and complain a lot especially when waiter give him blue napkin instead of red, and yes, I hate that! It's okay if you don't understand what I'm blabbering here. First stanza isn't important at all.

Now, Joey, unlike my two other hedgehog, is a hardwork. He eats a lot, plays much, and could be very annoying to my other two. That's why I'm giving you him. 'Cause you're sort of the girl who like action and adventure, I'm sure you'll be a good owner to him. Okay, here are the things you might want to take a note.

CAGE


Hedgehog's cage should be wide enough for him, of course, and the bottom part should be fully covered. This is because hedgehog is an excellent climber, and when he goes to poo poo, he'd like to do it on the corner. In this case, rabbit or guinea pig's cage isn't suitable. Joey's leg might stuck in the hollowed floor, and his poo poo will be scattered outside. U might have to clean that up. I'm suggesting fully enclosed cage like an aquarium, or plastic bottomed cage like this:

or simply something like this

But, u have to make sure that there's enough space for him, and his toys.

DIET

Now, the tricky part. Let's just cut this short, ok? I'm recommending Friskies's Gourmet for cats for Joey. That's what I've been feeding him now. Why Friskies Gourmet? 'Cause it's smaller,and softer than Whiskas (which is the only cat food available at my place). 

If u're intended to chage its menu, then do it slowly. U can mix the old menu to the new one, and increase its quantity daily. If not, he might suffer from diarrhea and tummy ache. Weekly feast may also include some vege and fruits such as carrots, grapes, or potato. He'd like them. U can also feed him mealworms, which can be found at aquarium shops.

TOYS

Ok, this is the part where you supposed be relieved cause  hedgehog don't need much toys. In fact, the most expensive toy would be the wheel. It might be up to Rm100 each. BUT, take a deep breath, I know one man who sells it at RM25. YAY!! It looks like this:

Don't waste your time looking it up on Mudah.my. It isn't there.

Besides wheel, they enjoy playing with the tissue rolls, take a look at James and Joey. =)

They even fight for the tube.

You can add more toys to him, and he'll play with it. I once give him a ping-pong ball, and he likes it very much, pushing it around his brother, and that ended up in fight. Also, U can give him chew toys like the cat's. He love to bite and gnaw, so that might help.

BEDDING

As many of those who protest using pine bedding, experienced owners don't seem like having problem in that issue. Some say pine bedding are poisonous, but this is not proven. However, there are some alternatives to pine bedding, such as newspaper shreds, pellet bedding, etc. FYI, bedding tu benda serbuk kayu yg diletakkan kat bwh tu, Apa2 je lah. dah la aku ni hensem sgt.

Ok then, it's all for now. We'll see more in the 2nd part. =)

Ibu Berhati Binatang

Assalamualaikum,

Kabare? baek dong? Sori ya, maaf sesangat sbb saya mmg x pandai bicara Indonesia. haha.. Saja try. Neway, berbalik kepada tajuk: Ibu Berhati Binatang. Kenapa tajuk nieh? Baca shortnotes kat bawah ni dulu. Sejak membela binatang ni, aku makin rajin membuat kajian, sampai la jumpa fakta2 nieh, tentang bagaimana haiwan2 menjaga babies dorg.

HAMSTER

Yang ni aku  pernah kena. Hamster ni memang jenis haruan makan anak. Hamster akan beranak banyak2, biasanya 6-8 ekor, then kalau dia nampak anak2 yang kurus, x bermaya, or cacat, dia akan makan hidup2. Memang x bagi peluang. Especially kalau xde makanan or sang ibu x cukup zat untuk menghasilkan susu untuk beri pada anak yang sihat. Yang aku dulu pun dari 8 tinggal 2 ekor. Nak cakap x cukup makanan, mmg penuh je bekas dia aku kasi. xtau lah. Hobi kot?

KUMBANG PENGGALI

Yang ni pun spesis sama ngan hamster/tikus. Dia akan bertelur banyak2, then kalau x cukup makanan, ngap yang kecik sekali. Biasanya mmg x lepas la. Kumbang penggali biasanya duduk dalam bangkai tikus, or bangkai animal2 yang lain so it would provide enough nutrient, but still, larvae yang dirasakan x sesuai untuk hidup or paling kecik sekali akan dibunuh. Dorg ni belajar ngan Darwin kot. Darwin cakap, teori ni adalah survivor of the fittest. Yang kuat akan hidup. Inilah nature. Kalau nak diikutkan, mmg banyak haiwan yang ikut teori ni. Arnab pon makan anak sendiri. Kucing jantan pun akan bunuh anak sendiri, biasanya anak jantan jugak untuk mengurangkan persaingan.

PANDA

Hah yang ni x taulah. Da badan besar, pandai berkung-fu pun x reti jaga anak lagi? Ibu panda biasanya akan menjaga SEEKOR anak sahaja. Andainya dia beranak lebih daripada seekor, yang lain akan dibiarkan dalam hutan. Yang anak kesayangan ni akan diberi makan, minum yang cukup n dijaga dengan penuh kasih sayang, sementara yang laen lantak korangla. Kalau anak2 panda ni x pandai survive sampai 8-9 bulan, mg arwah nasibnya. Kalau survive, nasib baik sangatlah tu. Besar nanti kau pukul ibu kau kuat2 ea Panda. Ajak mentadak kawan kau tu jugak.

HELANG HITAM

Helang hitam pulak laen ceritanya. SI ibu n bapak akan biarkan anak2nya maen camtu je dlam sarang. Nama pun burung. Tahulah sarangnya tinggi. Biasanya akan ada la anak burung yang jatuh mati. Reason dia buat camtu adalah kerana helang hitam biasanya hidup di tempat yang payah nak dpt makanan, so anak2nya bermain tu sbgai 1 ujian untuk mendapat anak yang betul2 kuat n berupaya untuk hidup dewasa kelak.

GAJAH

Gajah adalah herd animal, or binatang yang duduk secara berkumpulan. Ibu gajah biasanya mengandung selama setahun, or setahun sebulan. Masa lahir, mmg besar la anak dia, dlam 200pound! Anak-anak ni pulak akan dikawal ketat oleh 'allomothers' iaitu kakak, makcik2, nenek2 dalam herd tu sendiri. Anak gajah dilahirkan buta, so untuk protect mereka, anak akan dibiarkan bermain di tengah2 kumpulan tu sementara dorg membentuk bulatan. Imagine yourself in a middle, surrounded by extra large bodyguard. Like Justin Bieber, huh?

BURUNG ENGGANG

Burung enggang lain pulak cerita dengan helang hitam. Masa pengeraman n bertelur dihabiskan selamanya dengan bertapa dalam dahan kayu. Ibu enggang akan duduk dalam batang tu, dan si bapa akan menutup lubang dengan tanah n kayu, allowing only a small entrance untuk dia hulur makanan. Bayangkan kau hidup dalam bilik, bermandikan taik sendiri, makanan terhad, selama 2 bulan just untuk besarkan anak. Hebat kan?

ALLIGATOR

Alligator ni nampak jea muka garang, tapi hati jambu. Ibu alligator akan bertelur dalam sarang yang terdiri dari ranting-ranting kayu dan daun-daun. Sarang buaya jangan dijolok! Sebab ibu dia akan sentiasa ada memerhati dari jauh. Tahu x buaya boleh berlari sama laju dengan budak 10 tahun? Kalau awak terkejut mmg x sempatla. Bila da menetas pulak anak-anak dia akan berlari-lari masuk dalam mulut mak dia n dijaga sampai besar.

MANUSIA

Makin lama makin banyak anak2 terbuang tepi jalan, dalam sungai, dalam longkang, kat surau pun ade. X tahu lah. Mungkin dorg ni berfikiran cam Darwin jugak kot. Nak tengok sape paling kuat baru boleh bertahan. Tapi fikirkanlah, haiwan buat camtu sbb mmg xde akal. Kita ni manusia dikurniakan akal yang cukup lengkap, cerdik pandai. Jadilah cam alligator yang bermuka brutal tapi hati baik, jangan jadi cam hamster yang cute tapi anak sendiri dimakannye. 

Sekian, wasalam. =)
Peace no war.

Welcome to Chubbytown!!

ngehehe... Assalamualaikum..

Tahu nape aku tersengih?? Sbb tgk kat blog Nenek Kebayan Buncit gambar aku terpampang dia wat single post. Sangat cilake. Tp xpe.. hari masih panjang. Aku bukanlah seorg keyboard warrior. X pandai nk kenakan orang dlam blog ni. Lagipun blog aku ni bukan la blog mencerca org, except for her la. ngeahahaha.. (Padahal laptop aku rosak, gambar dia semua dalam tuh).

Menjawab pertanyaan Nenek tua ni jugak, aku membuat la post ni dengan gigih. Perkenalkan, my babies.

Name: Sue Sylvester.

Sex: Female

Type: Pygmy African Hedgehog.

Age: 3 months old

Color: Cinnanot (Cinnamon + Apricot)

Behavior: Undetermined. Sometimes ok, sometimes grumpy (masa datang bulan kot).

Name: Emma Schuester

Sex: Female though doubted

Type: Abbysinian Guinea Pig

Age: 4-5 months

Color: Brown and White (As the pic)

Behavior: Sangat manja, especially masa mintak makan. 

Though da duduk ngan jantan da sebulan, masih x menunjukkan tanda2 pregnant.

Name: Will Schuester

Sex: Male

Type: Abbysinian Guinea Pig

Age: 4-5 months old

Color: Brown and White. Mostly white.

Behavior: Agak liar kalau nak banding ngan Emma. This is probably because we though he was pregnant at first, because of his huge tummy and he has tits. That's before I realised that ALL guinea pigs, MALE n FEMALE, have tits. So, we didn't handle him quite often.

THE TRIPLETS

These Triplets baru sampai semalam, bought by my brother.

Also Abbysinian Guinea pigs. Dorg ni babies lagie. Baru sebulan. Baru lepas bercerai susu. 

Ada 2 betina, sekor jantan (yang 3 colors) tu. Dorg ni agak feral lagie, masih takut2 ngan orang. 

Tapi bila aku naek atas jea nk tengok dorg, mesti dorg berdiri ngan hind leg sambil menyanyi lagu Wonder Pets. Aku x sempat lagie bagi nama kat dorg, sebab baru lagi, so aku letak The Triplets la je ea.

YANG DA ARWAH

Name: Api

Sex: Female

Type: Syrian hamster

Age: 4 months top

Behavior: Agak manja jugak, x pernah gigit aku. Tapi da sampai ajal nak wat camne.

Name: Semut

Sex: Male (Laki Api)

Type: Syrian Hamster

Age: 4 months top

Behavior: Walaupun x pernah menggigit, tapi kuat berjalan. Hilang masa ngah picnic.

Name: Unknown

Sex: Unknown

Type: Syrian Hamster

Age: 3 weeks

Behavior: Unknown.

Name: Unknown

Sex: Unknown

Type: Syrian hamster

Age: 3 weeks.

Behavior: Unknown.

Selain Semut, yang laen semua mati di'ngap' kucing yang bengap! Semua terjadi masa aku balik kampung, preparing for my uncle's wedding. Then my father called and said they escaped and being eaten by cat. Api was found at the bottom of aquarium with a bite mark on her back. 

So, that's it. Itu semua yang aku ada. Oh, kenapa Chubbytown?!! Sebab masa aku dapat dulu, dorg semua kurus2, macam x cukup mkan, kecuali Sue. And sekarang, bapak gedabak da. Buncit2 belaka. Dorg la yang motivate aku kasi kurus skang ni,.. haha.. Tapi seyes, aku x pernah bosan maen ngan dorg. Tengok dorang makan pun seronok jea. Kadang2 aku cucuk2 dorg ngan rumput. Oh yea... Dorg sangat suka makan rumput2 segar yang banyak kat belakang rumah aku! So, every morning when there's chaos in the house people busy preparing for works n school, aku keluar kutip rumput kat belakang. 

Jangan tanye aku apa motif bela menatang ni. Aku suke!! Tu je la..

Ok, that's all for today. I'll be back with more pet stories ea.. hehe.. =)
