Woke up to sad news this morning...Bro msged me to say that Lele has passed away... :(
Lele was Bro's pet hamster, a gift from his ex. Initially, Papa and Mama Goh were apprehensive about having a pet at home but they soon gave in after seeing how adorable Lele was. When Bro was away in the hostel, they would feed Lele everyday and remind Umi to wash its cage often. Papa and Mama Goh would feed Lele with its favourite sunflower seeds despite Bro's protest. Bro wanted Lele to have a balanced diet but Papa and Mama Goh would say that Lele refuse to eat anything except sunflower seeds. At one point, Lele was so fat and fluffy. Absolutely adorable. Ting Ting loves Lele too. She would go to its cage every time she comes to our place and calls out Lele's name repeatedly. She don't dare to touch Lele but she would sit beside Lele's cage and look at Lele.
As the days went by, Lele became old and weak. When I went back this time, it broke my heart to see Lele. Everyone knew Lele was reaching the end of its life and it was heartbreaking. Lele passed away last night but Bro was not there to see it for the last time. Papa and Mama Goh didn't call Bro when they found Lele lying motionless in its cage. Papa Goh and Umi did some rituals for Lele and discarded it into the rubbish chute!! Needless to say, Bro was devastated. Sigh. The last thing we can do is to give it a proper burial, definitely not into the rubbish chute. What's done cannot be undone. Rest in peace, Lele...
Bro's msg for Lele...
"Thank you for the wonderful 3 years, Lele. You had outlived your species and I am proud of you. But why did you leave me w/o saying goodbye? Bwah. I hope you had fun in the Goh's family. You will be missed by everybody. RIP."
Death is always painful for the living....
