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
