Pets Day @ teejaycee

The pets' turnout wasnt that great, as expected- teejaycians arent known to be enthusiastic about school events.
After morning assembly, there was this pet parade... a huge black dog, which i dunno what breed cuz i am not into dogs was scary. a black persian cat was scary too.. look at those eyes.. eeks!
In the afternoon, there were a series of pet competitions namely the cutest pet, the dog & owner eating competition, hamster maze, rabbit nibbling. My dear fren BY's hamster named hamster, even though she likes to call it 'lao shu' which means 'mouse'. Haha. She eagerly signed up her hamster for the maze competition, but her cg was taking photos just at that time, so she put her pet into my care for the time being. After sometime, a couple more hamsters turned up for the maze game. I thought the competition was about to start when the hosts put the cardboard mazes on the table, so i took out BY's hamster gently- i hope, as BY hadnt finished with the cg phototaking. The first time i'm holding a hamster! OMG! okays~ i arent a fan of animals but good thing is, i arent scared of them either. It's just a small hamster- no harm right?
Just then, BY rushed back.. whew!
BY's hamster got 3rd placing haha out of 3 hamsters which participated, the last hamster refused to move when it was placed in the cardboard maze so the owner eventually gave up. But it wasnt that fair since the 2nd place went to a big rat-like hamster and it wanted to climb over the walls of the maze instead of going through the 'doors'. The owner & fren put the 'rat' into their shirt pockets & one guy even put in shreds of toilet paper for it. When i first saw it, i was like hmmm... the guy's probably too lazy to bring a cage for his pet. Lol. The prize for 3rd placing was good -full of japan imported hamster food, water dispenser& the 'floorings' of the cage ( i forgot the actual name)

Talking about pets, i have lots~ 1 aquarium of fish, 1 'outdoor' pond with fish & a terrapin. Too bad they are water-based, so i cant bring them anywhere, but not that i mind. Cuz i think bringing pets out can be troublesome & having big pets at home can intrude my 'privacy' as the pet can roam around freely the house.
