Yesterday, MA brought these tiny hamsters to the office. They were going to be our mascots and we were going to name them “hot” and “HELLO!”. Actually, we did. A bunch of them went out during lunch to buy a proper hamster cage and wood shavings because the hamsters were living in a mini [...]
My youngest sister Jessie is currently studying in Melbourne to become a vet. She’s loved animals for as long as I can remember, even though she doesn’t seem to have much luck with them.
Since beginning her course, part of which involves placement work in farms, she’s fallen off a horse, been kicked by another [...]
As some of you know, Y and I had a cat when we were in Australia. We had to give him up for adoption when we moved back to Malaysia and I still get sad whenever we mention him because I’m convinced that Tommy thinks we didn’t love him anymore and that’s why we [...]

Already running super-late for a media preview of CJ7, I brisk walk into GSC Mid Valley, and stop short when a rat scampers across the lobby. Scampers – I like that word. It’s a good thing I’m not afraid of rodents, but everyone else around me is. As the women scream and dart into faraway [...]
So it’s back to my fear of lizards.
I might have been born detesting lizards, I don’t remember actually, but I know I began to be really scared of them after this one particular incident…
I think I was in primary school at the time, probably somewhere between 7-9 years old. In our bathroom, we [...]
A colleague came in to work this morning, and suddenly announced in restrained disgust that there was a severed lizard’s tail on his mouse pad. He had touched it, and was wondering what it was before the hair-raising truth dawned on him.
It was only by some miracle that I remained calm in my seat. [...]
