Chicken Rice and Hamster Stories

Went to Boon tiong kee for the above-mentioned for dinner today. I noticed many newspaper cuttings regarding the shop's past and present hung up all over the wall. And i realised many discrepancies among them.

One of the older articles said that the chicken rice was Cantonese (the chicken was supposed to have yellower skin with meat that was less white in colour... compared to Hainanese)... while a newer article mentioned Hainan Chicken Rice instead. In yet another one, the owner refused to reveal his secret recipe except saying that it's got to do with the quality of the chicken... and recently if u guys remember, there's an article which showed the entire recipe for the chicken and the rice.

Anyway, why I am wasting my brain cells remembering such stupid stuff... hmm... have I ever told u about my hamster?

Well... I had this hamster a few years back which bites whenever I tried playing with it. That's not the main point though... in fact, its quite a sad story. Well... apparently it started losing appetite and was just lazing around the entire day... not like its usual self, where it will run the wheel, climb the sides of the cage or roll about in its bath tub. One fine day, we decided to bring our dear hamster to the vet. I didn't go though... it was my Dad, Mum, Sis and hamster who went. From what I heard, it was kindof weird when they got there cos everyone had dogs or cats in their laps... while my family... they had a hamster in a cage. Anyway, the hamster finally got to see the vet and upon examination, he made the diagnosis of jaundice. Management? Put the hamster to sleep. Hmm... sadly that was what happened, and that was the end of our furry friend.

I was thinking whether the vet went through the the pre-hepatic, hepatic and post-hepatic causes of jaundice (hepatic = liver btw). I mean, maybe he could have operated on our hamster and cleared the obstruction which was causing the jaundice... or resected a section of the liver which was sick etc etc... I think I'm thinking too much. Anyway, I'm thinking of getting a new hamster now... heh... hopefully this new one will not bite, if I do get one that is...
