Grandma Honey's Passing

Grandma Honey passed on on 06 Dec 2013 at about 1910 hours. Mom realized in the morning that her right eye was pretty bad it was ''coming out'' as though something inside was pushing it out. Mom rushed her to the vet altho she knew it was hopeless as its the second time from when it first occured on October. The tooth root abscess came back with a vengeance.

She passed on later in the evening with us and with Mom & Dad reiki-ing her for her transition. She was cremated on the following Monday 09 Dec 2013. The crematorium staff came to collect her and kept her body till we went there to witness it.

Cherimoya's Complimentary Christmas Studio Shoot

Cherimoya won a complimentary 1 hour christmas studio shoot courtesy of C.S. Ling Photography! Shoot was on 06 Oct 2013 and Cherimoya was so active with every props that once she figured out the escape route, she'd keep repeating the same stunt over and over again, quicker and quicker each time! The only good time to shoot was probably the first couple of times for each prop when she's still in a blur stage before she figured out the escape route. Food was also pretty useless because she'd just either stuff them in her pouch or just ignore them. Mom also brought some props along and the green apple house and trolley were used haha. Dad says the trolley kinda became Cherimoya's trademark lol.

The photographer is so patient though altho Mom said she felt kinda bad and ''malu'' at Cherimoya's behaviour lol. Mom was even wondering if there were any good shots at all haha! Cuz Mom and Dad had to be on full alert mode standing at the sides to prevent Cherimoya from falling or jumping off the table. Shooting small animals is indeed a challenge. Besides Cherimoya, two other small animals won the shoot too - a chinchilla and two guinea pig brothers.

The free 1 hour session was inclusive of a mini photocrylic tile (worth $60) and 3 web-res photos (out of 10). Mom decided to top up $250 for 5 extra medium-res (up to 6R size) photos because she really liked them!

CD was also inclusive of photos for uploading unto Facebook which has her watermark. Also check out her blog on this shoot!

that's all folks!




If you've small animals and you'd like a studio shoot, book a session with her now for a christmas concept shoot! You won't regret it! Mom really loves her work on Cherimoya. Just that it's a pity syrian hamsters are solitary creatures and even though they brought Grandma Honey along for fun, they couldn't be shot together in case fights broke out between them. Fights between hamsters are really too quick for humans to react and separate them. Their teeth are their weapons and they could easily pierce through the skin or puncture organs in the worst case scenarios. So Mom thought it ain't wise to risk it at the studio so there you go, solo Cherimoya! Not that Mom is bias or anything okay...

And once again, Mom wanna thank C.S. Ling Photography for these awesome peektures. Cherimoya is a very special hammie to Mom and she has brought out Cherimoya's beauty so nicely and perfectly (despite Cherimoya's lightning escapism speed) that it exceeded Mom's expectation of the entire shoot. Mom can't even bear to display the photocrylic tile in case it gets dusty or if the cat knocks it off and breaks it lol! She is that weird... rather keep than display. Kuku Mom.

Grandma Honey's Abscess

On Wednesday noon, Mom & Dad came home from work and realized Grandma Honey's left side of her mouth was swollen. She was still looking okay no swells or anything the night before. Still active and bright-eyed, altho eating lesser, prolly due to the discomfort/pain. So they got her to the vet and according to the vet, it was a soft abscess which means its not a (cancerous) tumor, otherwise it'd be rock hard.

Since she's already coming to 1 yr 8 months, he suggested an antibiotic to be diluted in her water for abt 4 to 5 days to see if the swell subsides. If it doesn't, he'd have to gas her out to see what's wrong with her teeth.

So today's Friday and the swell has gone down slightly, but her on the swollen side of the mouth seems to have difficulty opening.

sigh, this week hasn't been a gd week for Mom. Grandma Honey's case + she dropped her smartphone and the LCD cracked... ended up getting it repaired only to return back the next day to have them change the entire thing again because the screen's sticking out.

Mom's been reiki-ing Grandma Honey hoping it would help her loads. She also seems to be taking to it well, sticking to the areas where Mom/Dad's hand is.





it looks like blood but its not blood. its wet cuz we wiped that area





























just a 5-10mins consultation +
this Antibiotic cost Mom S$46.90. faints

Visiting Mochi!

We were left alone while Mom took both hammies out! Hmph! I wish she brought me along (not cotton!) too because I LOVEEEEE tiny tiny lil' animals.

But since she brought back pix for me to ogle at... all is well. Mom says Mochi is adopted yesterday by her friend. She's around 7 months young, a month older than Cherimoya, but sooooo much bigger! (or fatter lol)

Grandma Honey's bigger than Cherimoya by 10g (but feels alot heavier on hand lol), and Mochi is bigger than Honey by....... Mom's guess is quite alot lol. But not the biggest she has carried so far at 260g (two of Cherimoya).

Mom's a lil' (no, make that alot) gaga over calico syrians now so that's why they're flooding MY blog! Not that I mind much since they're so so so cute and I could watch them all day long. But Mom better not forget me - the co-owner of this blog!
