:) we have 3 new additions to the s13 family! aka xiao hei, xiao hong and xiao pink. lol. joyce's 3 baby hamsters... :)
suddenly felt like blogging today because i felt a new lease of life... or maybe the dawning of some newfound revelation or whatever. mundane and insignificant things decorate my life. but they mean a lot to me.
so, is pet ownership the best way to cultivate responsibility? i guess im fraid not... esp. if the pet involved is something that the human owner doesnt really get attached to... i mean, basically, when you own 5 goldfish and all of them look pretty much the same, there isnt much to care about... or to get attached to, right?
i mean, all they do is swim around and look at you [no, you think they are but they re just looking straight. or something. just not at you anyway.] and they dont respond when you try to feed them or get their attention or what. i mean they do care when you feed them, but you could be some bloody bastard robber or serial killer on the loose in the house and after killing/robbing the owner you were so bored you decided to spare the puny lives of these fish and actually feed them. and they wouldnt give a damn.
changing water and removing fish shit not included.
which is why dogs are so popular. at least it makes sense to give them names since they can actually respond to them. and of course they actually recognise you, which make things a lot, a whole lot better. goody.
i mean. im not trying to be mean but humans tend to belittle lives such as etc fish or some species of animal/creature that are hard to understand... you wouldnt exactly understand a something that spends the whole of its lifetime swimming around and shitting and eating and swimming around and eating and shitting and so on...im digressing. but anything, get my point? i guess so...
my dads goldfish even had the folly to swim around to the back of the huge tank and get itself stuck near the water pump chute and of course we had to save him but eventually what could we do it was a suicidal fish. bleah.
joyce's baby hamsters are so human like. so... fragile. makes you imagine what you were like when you were young. i mean, i actually felt sad when little put put [or whatever other name that you may want to call him affectionately] passed away today... it was some close emotional attachment... maybe because i stroked him and watched him before... or maybe her... it just makes me sad that it never got to see the world before it left... but it wasnt the fault of anyones... especially not joyces. if want to blame, blame the irresponsible mother. give birth liao then faster xiam away. cheap money! T_T
anyway, i think i was never this sad when my dads goldfishes [yes, plural, so many that i lost count] died and got flushed down the toilet bowl [some family ritual we do, dead goldfish belong to the toilet bowl. ]
the only time i was really rather devasted was when a sick goldfish that i nursed back to health [dont ask me how, i sort of stroked it when it was ill and i suppose i managed to gently rubb off some of the parasites living off the poor thing ] actually died. after so much trouble, it still left. sigh. it was rather a sigh of helplessness rather than one of sadness.
doesnt help that everytime one dies my dad just goes and buys another. after all, what does it cost... 2 bucks?
how can we place a price on the life of something that cannot be measured in a quantitative manner? how can we say that that rabbit over there in the cage costs 15 bucks, or that chinchilla costs 200?
i wonder how much im worth.
