I Bought A Hamster!!!

Today I passed a petshop with my hubby and my little boy. It's not our destination but finally we stopped there and played with the pets there. Yesterday I opened the old files on my computer and I missed all my hamsters. I used to have hundreds of fat and happy hamsters when I was a teenager. All my hamsters were very special and had their own stories. Some hamsters missed one or two legs, the others were blind, and some rejected hamsters from petshops. These rejected hamsters were the best pets in the world to me. We all have special bond and even they had a very short life, I really enjoy all the fun and happiness. Miss them all...

In the petshop I saw a glass tank where they keep about 20 hamsters. They were 3 weeks hamsters except one. She was the biggest and oldest hamster in the tank. Hamster tend to attack other hamster which not belong in one group, especially older hamster. That's way I saw this hamster attack all the younger ones. Since I miss my hamster so much, I can't help myself to take this hamster home. And I bought her... Hehe.

She is an adorable female hamster. Very sweet and gentle. Even my 2 year old boy can bring her on his palm. This is the first time my boy can hold a hamster. I have a syrian, but it's too big for his hand and my syrian is a lil bit coward. He's scared to anything. Sigh. But not this little girl, Teru. Teru loves human friend! And it makes her very special...

Fake Candles

I love candle light and I always have a bunch of candle-holders laying around my house. After so many years being crazy about the tealite candle, now I'm trying something new. Fake candles! Looks like a tealite candle but use some batteries to lit the candle. Much safer since I have a baby who start to like candle light too.

Lit them in a frosted glass and you cannot tell if it's fake. The candles use led energy-saving light source dan it flicker just like a normal candle.

This is the light shape

This is one of the technology advantage that we can enjoy these days. I can't wait to use them in my bathroom, with a nice warm bubble bath and all the aromatheraphy. Must be a spectacular bath session for me...

Important Things

My hubby doesn't eat veggies. Uuuugh I hate that, since I'm a veggie-lover. Hehe. For his fibre needs he drinks some hi-fibre beverages. It's made from wheatgrass I think (or at least it is written on the packaging) and it's sweet. Anyone know about this product?

Another hubby's thing. Mosquito killer... It has funny frog face (which is a mosquito eater)

New Stuff, Old Stuff and Re-paint

Masih inget ranjang Art Nouveau yang saya cerita sebelumnya? Akhirnya ranjang itu sampai ke rumah dan benar-benar membuat cerah suasana di kamar. Walaupun saya bukan penggemar 'curly things' tapi untuk kali ini saya membuat pengecualian. Alasannya sederhana, saya bosan dengan semua gaya kotak-kotak minimalis yang sekarang ada di seluruh pelosok negeri sepertinya. Tentu saja saya ingin rumah saya bukan menjadi sama seperti bangunan lain sehingga kalau saya pergi atau pulang ke rumah rasanya akan sama saja. Saya ingin merasa 'pulang' ke rumah dengan perasaan yang jauh berbeda. Oleh karena itu saya berusaha memilih barang-barang yang berbeda dengan apa yang sedang menjamur di lingkungan saya.

Sayangnya ranjang ini hanya akan menjadi pajangan dalam beberapa bulan ke depan. Karena berbagai kesalahan teknis, rumah saya terpaksa dicat ulang dan ini cukup memakan waktu. Selain itu pengerjaan interior lainnya juga butuh waktu yang cukup panjang. Harus terus bersabar untuk melihat hasilnya... Tapi jika melihat hal-hal kecil yang mulai terkumpul selama menunggu, kadang membangkitkan semangat lagi.Untuk membunuh waktu, saya mulai mengerjakan  'house warming project' yang  tertunda karena semangat saya sempat turun karena berbagai masalah yang terjadi selama pembangunan rumah ini. Tapi karena itu juga saya jadi  sempat memikirkan hal-hal lain untuk mengalihkan perhatian dari kekecewaan dan kekesalan saya.  Ini adalah salah satu bagian dari 'house warming project' yang tertunda. Jelek? Maklum buatan tangan yang pas-pasan dengan  'bantuan' yang tidak diminta dari anak berusia 2 tahun.
