...THE RISE AND FALL...

overheard this song on the radio the past 4days..

it brings back the old memories.

quite love this song..

here it is..

here the lyrics~~

"Rise And Fall"

(feat. Sting)

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,

And it seems as though the writings on the wall,

Superstar you finally made it,

But once your picture becomes tainted,

It's what they call,

The rise and fall [x2]

I always said that I was gonna make it,

Now it's plain for everyone to see,

But this game I'm in don't take no prisoners,

Just casualties,

I know that everything is gonna change,

Even the friends I knew before may go,

But this dream is the life I've been searching for,

Started believing that I was the greatest,

My life was never gonna be the same,

Cause with the money came a different status,

That's when things change,

Now I'm too concerned with all the things I own,

Blinded by all the pretty girls I see,

I'm beginning to lose my integrity

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,

And it seems as though the writings on the wall,

Superstar you finally made it,

But once your picture becomes tainted,

It's what they call,

The rise and fall

I never used to be a troublemaker,

Now I don't even wanna please the fans,

No autographs,

No interviews,

No pictures,

Endless demands,

Give into vices that was clearly wrong,

The type that seems to make me feel so right,

But some things you may find can take over your life,

Burnt all my bridges now I've run out of places,

And there's nowhere left for me to turn,

Been caught in comprimising situations,

I should have learnt,

From all those times I didn't walk away,

When I knew that it was best to go,

Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart,

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,

And it seems as though the writings on the wall,

Superstar you finally made it,

But once your picture becomes tainted,

It's what they call,

The rise and fall

Now I know,

I made mistakes,

Think I don't care,

But you don't realise what this means to me,

So let me have,

Just one more chance,

I'm not the man I used to be,

Used to beeeeeeeeeee

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,

And it seems as though the writings on the wall,

Superstar you finally made it,

But once your picture becomes tainted,

It's what they call,

The rise and fall [x4]

...my GRANDCHILDRENS...

yup.. i just got grandchildrens. 7 of them!!! i'm so happy!! and shocked too~~ ('-.-)

around 10am just now, when i'm about to make a cup of tea for myself, i went to my room to take a peek of Martin (new mommy), coz she's bein sick for the last 3days.

i trying to take her out from the cage and saw there is tiny little strange thing gaging.

n 'ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!'

took a closer look, its her babies!!!!

i'm so scared coz yesterday i came across this 1 article that mommy hamster will eat her babies if any1 touch them. huhu!!

well, obviously, I JUST DID!

i'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!!!! (T.T)

i called my mom, and she ask me to separate the babies from the mommy.

i did it.

ow, 1 of the baby injured. maybe had been bitten, or, idk.

but after a while, i put the mommy with the babies.

and i put a handkerchief in the new place (which i make for them just now).

guess what, the mommy took all the babies and put them under her belly.

i was like... FIUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~~

so i leave them ALONE, just like what i read in the article..

ouh.. for you guys to read.

LET SHARE IT & USE IT!

A hamster that has given birth should be disturbed as little or possible or she may become agitated and abandon, neglect, or even eat the babies. This means other than providing food and water, you should leave the hamsters and their cage alone as much as possible for the first couple of weeks. While it is tempting to look at the babies and make sure everything is okay, it is best to leave the mom to do her thing

Place strips of toilet paper or facial tissue in the cage so mom can build a soft nest. Ideally, you would do this once you realize your hamster is pregnant (it is usually pretty noticeable a couple of days before birth, just by the sheer size of her belly).

Don't try to handle the babies at all for at least two weeks.

Once the babies have arrived, don't worry about cleaning the cage for a while. Leave it alone for the first 10-14 days. You can spot clean really wet spots if absolutely necessary, but avoid disturbing the nest. If you have noticed your hamster is pregnant, do a thorough cleaning to prepare for the new arrivals.

Make sure to provide plenty of food and fresh water, but make feeding and watering as efficient and calm as possible.

While it is okay to have a quick peek in the cage on occasion, avoid siting and watching for long periods.

Keep in mind that the mom will be very protective as well so may act more aggressive than usual; this is natural and no cause for concern.

Though interference should be avoided if at all possible, if for some rare reason you must move a baby, use a spoon so you do not get your scent on the baby. It is rarely necessary to move a baby though even if they are out of the nest; the mom will usually retrieve any stray pups and return them to the nest.

The hamsters will be ready for weaning at about 3 weeks of age, and it is best to separate the male pups into one group and the females into another. Syrian hamsters can stay in these male and female groups for another 2-3 weeks, but then must be separated so there is only one per cage.

If you ended up with a male and female dwarf hamster by mistake, it is best to remove the male as soon as possible after birth, with as little disturbance to the female as possible. While the male will not harm the babies and may help with rearing them, the female can get pregnant again shortly after giving birth and this can be very hard on her body.

Make sure you are feeding a high quality diet with lots of protein. In addition to a good quality diet, you can offer small amounts of hard boiled egg, bits of cooked chicken, cheese, and wheatgerm to give the mom a nurtitional boost.

Unfortunately, if you got a pregnant hamster from the pet store she is probably quite young and may not have the best mothering abilities. She may be more likely to abandon or even cannibalize her babies. If she doesn't care for them and they are less than 10 days of age, it is extrememly difficult to save the babies. It is best to make sure you get your hamster from a store that separates males from females at a young age to avoid surprises like this.

...sheepo and martin...

okay.. they r both my hamsters.. Lawi bought them for me right before i went to Kuala Kubu Bharu, May 1st, 2010.

they both are really cute. **will update this post with their pic in. ;)

erm.. at 1t when we bought them, we have no idea that they could be a girl and a boy.
we gave a name for each of them, SHEEPO AND MARTIN << Lawi pick this 1.
after 1 month, i fond out that sheepo is a boy, and martin is a girl.
so i change MARTIN to MARTINA. lol!

ok, they r both healthy, cute and active.. **especially at nyte** ("-.-)

ow.. they already know how to mate. ngeeee... but usually end up with martin biting sheepo. poor sheepo. ;(

ok... now to the story which is the latest story..
martin is sick.. sob3~~
there is 1 big lump, and 3 other small lumps on her belly. ;(
with pus in it. **yeah, its disgusting to see. and sad too laaaa!!! ;(
idk what is it, then thanx to this 1 page, i found out what is it. n will bring her to vet ASAP. here the article that i read just now.. THANK YOU!!

Abscesses occur when a bite, scratch or wound becomes infected and pus forms under the skin resulting in a lump. Often the bite or scratch may go unnoticed. Indeed by the time the lump is noticed the bite or scratch which originally became infected may have healed so it is often difficult to establish whether the lump is an abscess or a tumour.

If a bite or scratch can be seen on the lump then it is almost certainly an abscess. An abscess will require the pus to be drained and a course of antibiotics may be needed to treat the infection and so veterinary treatment must be sought. In extreme cases it may be necessary to visit the vet regularly as the pus may need to removed more than once whilst the infection clears.

Some abscesses may burst and this can increase the chances of infection making the hamster very ill. Therefore even if an abscess should burst before you have the opportunity to take the hamster to a vet it is still advisable to seek veterinary advice as antibiotics may still be required to help fight the infection even if drainage of the abscess is not required.

Sharp objects or pieces of food that the hamster stuffs in its cheek pouches may pierce the lining of the pouch and become stuck. This in turn can cause the pouch to become infected and an abscess to occur. This can initially be mistaken for the hamster carrying food or bedding in its cheek pouch as the cheek pouch area is swollen. However, if the hamster seems to continuously have its cheek pouches full it may be that the pouches are impacted or an abscess within the cheek pouch has occurred and veterinary advice should be sought.

Hamsters usually recover from abscesses well and fairly quickly when treated.
