Ups and downs of the week..

Introducing, the new addition to the Mr’s family (and the cause of Titi’s immense jealousy)..

Putri Natasyah Insyirah! (or at least I think that’s how her mum spelled it to me..)

She’s the cutest thing. Weighing only at 2.6kg, we were all pretty sure that her mother was expecting a boy and a big one at that.
To think the product was such a tiny girl.

The funniest thing happened when I was taking her photo. She was sleeping and suddenly she smiled! While asleep! 

See! She’s smiling!

Her little tiny fingers curled around my finger when I touched her hand. Awwww, she’s really cute. Now I have another reason to go over to his house more often.

And all the while, Titi was curling at my feet, trying to get my attention.

Anyway, it’s been a few days since I met the Mr.
So he was also vying for my attention.

Is it me or does his smile get wider everytime we take a photo together? LOL.

Excuse my very tired (and oily!) face in the pictures, I’ve been running a fever on and off this whole week, no thanks to the centralised air-conditioning in the office and all my sick colleagues.
The virus is spreading like crazy.

The only thing the air-conditioning is good for, is helping my makeup to stay on.

I’ve been scoring an average of above 90% for all my training tests and worksheets, which I think is okay.
I want to try better though. Being top in the batch means I get priority in choosing my shift of choice.

On the home front, everything’s been okay.

Sadly though, my baby dwarf hamster is dying.

He’s had a very bad eye infection and his eyes are ‘glued’ shut.
I tried wiping it away with water, and for once he didn’t struggle when I picked him up.

He won’t eat, even when fed peeled sunflower seeds.
And he won’t drink, even when brought to the water tube.

It’s heartbreaking. He just lies there, as if waiting to die.

Mr says we’ll bring him to the vet when he comes home.
Sigh.

And it didn’t help when a friend commented on MSN that if I couldn’t care for a pet, what more a kid of my own?
He said I was being irresponsible; he likened it to a parent not bringing a sick child to the doctor.

Did I not say I was looking for a vet and waiting for the Mr to come home so that we could go?

I’ve never had a sick hamster before. Or any other sick pet. But the Mr has.
So of course he would know.

Like how would I bring the hamster then? Into my pocket and go to the vet?

Just forget it. I’m upset already as it is.
