Boh Boh: 2002 - 2003



Poor Ah-Boh died two days ago. I miss him already. No more dumbfounded hamster face, no more cuddling him when he's sleepy, no more watching him attack his cage, no more waiting for him to fall asleep in the laundry basket, no more feeding him into oblivion. I lurv him. And now I will drown my sorrows in Nestea, Cheetos and a good sleeping in. Just like Ah-Boh would have done. I'll make you proud, Ah-Boh, that I will!

Edit: Here's the obituary Ho-Ming sent out via email:
Dear friends,

It is my sad duty to inform of you of the death of my special friend, Boh Boh. Ah Boh (as he was affectionally known) had been sick for a few days and at 8:18 pm, he nhaled his last tiny breath. The funeral service was held at 1 pm in my garden. Boh was put to final rest under our giant evergreen tree.

Boh was and will be always my favorite pet for a variety of reasons. First, he was a very special gift from thoughtful friends on my 22nd Birthday. But more importantly, he was a good pet. He had an easy-going personality, a playful spirit, a love for life (particularly sleeping) and for food. Though he was often woken up by his master, he never complained about it and continued to sleep regardless of his location. Interestingly enough, despite his good looks, he remained faithfully celibate all his days. He brought much joy into our lives, and he will be missed dearly.

I am confident I will see Boh Boh again, as God loves every creature he created (besides, he was Christian hamster). I will leave you with words that best described his life on earth: "Boh Boh: He ate...and ate well."

R.I.P. Boh.

Your friend,

Ho-Ming

Ah Spring...

Beautiful weather lately, but nature is a tricky bugger. Apparently, it was 17(!) degrees yesterday, so I thought, "Perfect sandal weather! Sw33t!" and pranced off in my Tevas and went for lunch with Wendy (Ug. Waffles delish, but so very guilt-inducing) at Ban Righ. Half an hour later, I look out the window and it's raining cats and dogs and bison. Sandals soaked, toes gritty, pants dripping from the ankles down.

So, yeah. Wet day. You might be thinking, "Good gravy, Batman! This girl just wrote a pointless whiny ramble about rainy weather! How pathetic can you get!" Well, I ask you this, Mr. Sarcastic Pants (Ooo...I want sarcastic pants! Good for debates and fits of angsty teenage rebellion) What's more pathetic: a penguin wearing a blue pinstripe suit or the fool that tailored it?

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a calculus test to fail and some angry sandworms to thwart.

In other words, nothing of interest has happened this week, except for the usual assignment cramming and Sharescan trawling. Therefore, Hoyan has nothing better to write about than the weather, penguins and obscure Dune references. Mmm...spice...

Busy as arse

Yet I still had time to re-read Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason before getting to work on my essay. It's a strange, strange world.

Kekekeke! Me? Unhinged?


Which Saturnalia Character are you?


I'm a maaaa-niac, maaaaa-niac! So much work lately, not even funny. CISC midterm, english essay (Heart of Darkness....*sigh*) and a calc mastery test coming up soon. Completely not ready for any of them.

Melinda died last week. Poor li'l hamster. Homing's track record with dwarf hamsters isn't too great so far (2 down). No matter. He's recovered and has bought a female long-haired Syrian hamster named April, after the Ninja Turtle's chickee (the old one, not the "new, hip" version). All we need now is a trashy, scruffy male one named Casey and we're set.

Three more weeks of class! Kekekekeke!

General query...

Can anyone tell me where to find lyrics for Catherine Durand songs? French Canadian artist, very cool. Need lyrics to "Peu Importe" so that I can sing along badly and loudly.

Ah, life in residence.

Food makes me happy. Chicken noodle soup, grilled cheese sandwhiches, Greek style potatoes and pepperoni calzones for lunch and dinner respectively. Good day in the caf. However, not so good in the dorm...

Crapulance! Someone stole the vacuum from our wing! They shall pay. Oh yes. They shall pay.

Eww...gritty carpet...
