I have a 3-week-old baby rabbit, its name is Balcethuk (golf ball) because its colour is white with black ears.

Yesterday Balcethuk created a big problem. Mum brought Balcethuk to my study room and let it have fun exploring. While my mum, my friend and I had an interesting discussion, Balcethuk suddenly disappeared. When we realised that Balcethuk was missing, we started looking for it. We looked behind the desk…it wasn’t there. It also wasn’t behind the stack of my photography equipments. We just couldn’t find it in the whole room. Then my friend, CL, took the initiative and peeked behind the bookcase…AAAHHH BALCETHUK WAS THERE, STUCK! The space between the wall and the bookcase was too small for Balcethuk to turn around while it couldn’t move backward.

The problem was how to get Balcethuk out of there. It would have been simple if it is just a small bookcase, it is however a HUGE bookcase! It’s L-shape, length 2.4m and 2.1m, width 0.4m, height 2.6m…and full of books! Imagine the weight!

At first we tried to get a long stick/pole, slided it through the gap and attempted to drag Balcethuk backward. It didn’t work because Balcethuk was really at the very corner where the gap was most narrow. We were also afraid if we hurt it with the pole.

We tried to come up with other alternatives, but they didn’t seem to work. At the end we chose to move the bookcase! We started to remove everything from the bookcase, all the books, photo albums, etc and piled them all over the house. It was only after we took down everything we were able to move the bookcase and rescued Balcethuk!

When we freed Balcethuk, it was so happy and started jumping all over the place, we hurriedly caught it before it created another problem. We were glad that we were able to save Balcethuk. YES! Mission accomplished!

But when I saw the huge pile of books and other stuff all over the house, I started to despair thinking about the hard work to put them back. I can only console myself by thinking that since everything is out anyway, I might as well rearrange and reorganise everything HAHAHA.Frankly I was truly amazed by the storage capacity of that bookcase. I will show you some pictures later so that you can see the extend of this problem.

Lessons:

1. ALWAYS keep an eye on your pet! NEVER let it wander out of your sight!

2. If you want to find something, look everywhere, no matter how remote it may seem.

3. Love demands sacrifices (Our love for Balcethuk requires hard works and sacrifices)

4. Make the best out of any circumstances (instead of being so distressed looking at the huge piles of stuff, it may be the right time to rearrange them HAHAHA)

Thanks to Balcethuk for today’s lessons!

For all my friends…I want to THANK YOU for your prayers, wishes, SMS, cards, ecards, emails, cakes, gifts and many more. I feel so blessed to have friends like you

Cheers!

Last night I was teasing my friend by pretending to lock her in her room. I turned the key twice to let her hear that her door was securely locked. Actually when I turned the key twice, I turned it clockwise then anticlockwise…so the door was not actually locked My friend was shouting from inside the room…Hey!!! Don’t lock the door!!! When she reached the door, she tried to yank the door and loooo it was open! I was laughing so hard watching her facial expression at that moment. HAHAHAHAHA

Almost midnight I went back to my room to sleep. You know what?! THE DOOR WAS LOCKED! The outer door to my bedroom was locked! I tried to open it with my spare key, but to no avail because the key was hanging on the other side. AARRRGGGHHH!!!!

I went back to the room where my friend was staying and told her about the locked door. She was laughing so hard…huh? so who had the last laughs here?? THE JOKE WAS ON ME!

3 options:

1. sleep on the couch

2. sleep in my sister’s room

3. sleep in my friend’s room (definitely the worst option of all three!!!) HAHAHA

At the end I didn’t need to choose one of those three options…my mum woke up and opened the connection door HAHAHAHA

It turned out my parents accidently locked the outer connection door! They thought I was inside sleeping so they locked the door.

Lessons:

Be careful when you do a practical joke on someone…the joke could be on you!

I lost my temper.

The story:

This morning I put in 2 rolls of films to be developed and printed. They asked for a deposit, I gave them the full amount instead. This evening when I asked my driver to pick up the photos, they said that I hadn’t paid for those photos. They said I had to pay before they gave me the photos. When they said that I had not paid nor put any deposit, I lost my temper and started speaking harshly. At the end, they checked and found that they were mistaken. They found the invoice for the full amount I paid.

I haven’t lost my temper like this for a long time. After I gave this incident more thoughts, I regret what I did. I shouldn’t have lost control of myself. What’s worse was that I lost my temper in front of many people. At the end, I called the shop assistant and apologised for speaking so harshly.

Lessons:

1. Anger is usually followed by regret and guilt

2. Don’t lost temper in public

3. Don’t be afraid to admit and apologise for your mistakes

4. Hmm remember PMA

5. Be proactive and not reactive to any situation

Don’t make the same mistake…Learn my friend!
