Name

 
Don't you think little hamster looks like a kind of Chinese dumpling 擂沙湯圓? Sesame dumpling in peanut powder called "Lui Sa Tong Yuen" in Cantonese.

His new Chinese name is 湯圓 "Tong Yuen".

Activities

 
I have never seen Koala sleeps with his eyes closed. I once though rabbits don't need to sleep.

With the webcam, now I know he sleeps and eats hay.

Koala live cam

 
After resolving the technical difficulties in both hardware and software, Koala now has a live cam shooting him 24hrs a day.

Click the snapshot at the right-hand side to access.


Better behave.

It has Night-vision fucntion, don't be scared if you see Koala's eyes are bright.

By the way, don't ask me to clean Koala's cage.

It is normal if you find it a bit dirty.

I will clean it whenever I have the mood.

I bought a proper cage for little darling.

Tin Hau

 
After having dinner in Stanley, I heard some drum beats far away.

People were celebrating Tin Hau's (Mother-Goddess of the Sea) birthday. It is one of the Chinese traditions.

I watched a while, it was very noisy.






The seat high above is Tin Hau's. People perform for Her to watch.

Pedestrian Scheme

 
It is already 11pm at night, these young guys have turned the Causeway Bay Pedestrian Scheme into their stage.

I appreciate their effort.

Though they are not professionals, it is quite entertaining watching them play.

Captured

 
After a day, I still see the hamster running along the corridor when I got back home from work. I decided to capture it to prevent him from starving to death.

First, I gave some food to him.

Then I captured it with a towel. Now he has a new temporary home.

I am afraid the hamster is sick, I will quarantine it and keep it away from Koala.
 
   

Baby toad

 
There are many baby toads along the roadside now.

They are of fingertip size.

Hamster

 
Found a hamster in the corridor at midnight .

I chased the hamster for a while (movie), it ran very fast.

Finally, I left some food for him.

Guess it escaped from its home.

Incisors removal

 
Due to the poor skill of Dr. Tiger, Koala needs to remove one of his incisors today. :(



It rains heavily this morning.

Fortunately, Koala is very tough, he didn't cry this time. Just seemed normal when I picked him up later today.

He eats very well back home. Koala fans no need to be worried too much.
