char has been feeling rather depressed lately,
thats because her bank account is almost empty !!
we took all the receipts, did the maths,
and calculated that we really did spend ALOT on Hammy !!

since the beginning of the year till now, we have spent $550 on her.
but thats on her medical bills alone, we havent factor in other expenditure.
plus, with her $85 per session acupuncture therapy which takes place twice aweek,
we're going to be more broke than ever.

wah, and i realised we spent ALOT on other Hammy-related items,
like her waterbed which we have replaced once over,
because she bit the bed to death, and caused all the water to leak out.
and the millions of towel we bought to cushion the water bed,
to prevent her from biting the waterbed to death again,
as well as to absorb her urine whenever she's too lazy to pee at the proper place.
the faux sheepskin as bedsheet to allow her to glide her buttocks all around the bed,
preventing another pressure sore from developing.
and the raw materials we got, to build her a wheelchair !

oh, my Hammy is like a princess, and char and i are her poor slaves.
we're her driver, fetching her to the vets at least 2times aweek.
we're her physiotherapist, exercising her legs 3times a day.
we're her nurse, washing her wound daily and feeding her the medicine.
we're her personal maid, cleaning up after her everyday.
but i tell you, its all worth it.
because we really love our Hammylou ALOT !!

in more Hammy news,
she just started acupuncture therapy on saturday.
the therapy session was really interesting.
the vet inserted multiple needles into various spots on her body.
and during the 20mins therapy session,
Hammy made mulitple funny leg movements and twitches.
the vet said that she was responsing pretty well to the treatment.
but sickeningly, as soon as the vet took out the needles,
her leg movements and twitches totally STOPPED.
like zero, nothing, no movement at all !!

most patients make most progress during the first 2months after their accident,
and because its only been a month since her escape/accident,
we're going to send her for intensive therapy to increase the chances of recovery.
oh, i really hope Hammy recovers !!


in baking news,
char and i tried the near impossible.
we tried to make cream puffs.
you know, the ones they sell at beard papa.
but it was too high standard already,
we failed miserably.

next baking project,
a birthdae cake for wengo's 23rd birthdae.
i've gotten the necessary ingredient already.
i cant wait to start baking !!
i think its going to be awesome !
yums.


and because i've been spending so much time at char's place,
i dint even have time to get her any birthdae present.
so i decided to get her a birthdae cake,
but i dint wanna give it to her just like that.
if not, its not special at all..
i mean, she's my bestfriend afterall.
so i ZHNG-ED the birthdae cake.
hee.

this is how the cake looked like originally,
this is AFTER !!
hee, this is a rabbit-shaped chocolate cake !!
it was inspired by hammy.
hmm, quite scary-looking and ugly, but A for effort right?

yeah, me and the birthdae girl.
the cute smalliemot couple, char and dennis.
