The Great Hamster Escape

So, I had an awesomely exciting day today.. Bumbi decided to prison break out of her cage for a short tour of the house..

When I woke up this morning, I couldn't find the sneaky lazy critter anywhere. On closer inspection, found out she was no longer in the cage. That was one of the biggest worry I had ever since I got her and it really happened.

So I panicked and called up my bf, asking him if Bum was still in her cage when he left this morning, which he confirmed that she was still snoozing when he left for work. Called my mom next and she said Bum was gone by the time she went to work.

Using my deduction skills, I came to the conclusion that she went in the direction of either:
1) My bro's bedroom
2) The spare room
3) The kitchen
4) Onto the balcony and off it (My first hamster jumped off the balcony and landed 6 floors down onto the concrete floor below)

So after searching for about an hour, I gave up. Since I had to work, I went ahead to get ready and made myself some lunch. Then I decided that if she was still around the house, maybe closing the doors and thus cutting off the chances of her roaming about the house, would help. Before I left for work, I decided to locate the torchlight which would aid the BF in the search of the escapee hamster.

So I went into my bro's room, to have a last look through, and guess who I found behind the door, looking like she had a party with the dust bunnies. I was so elated and shocked at the same time. So I made a dash for her with my bare hands, and she made the loudest squeak I had ever heard a hamster make, which totally freaked me out. I was afraid a few hours of freedom had made her wild and she would bite me in order to get away from me, so I made use of my dad's fish net and I finally manage to catch her after 10 mins of trying to get to her.

After placing her back in her cage, I breathe a sigh of relief and went off to work, 15 mins late. Now we have improvised the cage a little so that there will not be a 2nd escape from her.

Just a normal day in being the owner of a over curious and inquisitive hamster. =)

Good thing we found her though. I cannot stand to think she died of starvation in some obscure corner of the house and is rotting away... Eww...

Sooo...

I know I haven't been blogging... But then, I'm just so lazy nowadays, and with the LunarNew Year just around the corner, work has been busy and I have to help out around the house more..

So I got my left wisdom tooth out today.. Scary ass experience if you ask me.. I already hated going to the dentist, and this experience just makes it even more freaky..

First off, I had to get a minor surgery as my wisdom tooth was partially out of my gums and lying on it's side (or back..). So the dentist had to cut open my gum, and then saw the tooth into 2 parts then pull them out after.

After he injected the numbing liquid into my gums, I felt nothing and from then on, just loads of drilling and tugging.. I was done in like 30 mins.. The whole process was pretty bearable, but now that the painkillers have wore off, it hurts like HELL!

I'm have to be constantly on painkillers so that the pain doesn't get to me.. Makes me feel like an addict. I could still do normal housework around the house when the painkillers dull the pain.

So I have 5 day home rest, and no eating of normal human food. Joy to the 3rd week of Jan.

Alright, that's about it I guess.. Will update more when I feel like it. =P
