Cleaned my room, and now cleaning my mailbox. Deleting old stuff, with the exception of some e-mails which I like to look back on. Found this, among others, heh. It's from my brother.

I remember Coffee. Do you guys (back home) remember Coffee? :) My very first hamster, and my present from Levin for my 17th birthday. He was shades of light brown with white fluff, and he endured all the tortures of being my first hamster. When I think of Coffee, I think about my other hamsters as well. I remember Cappucino (the female) who was traded in for Cappucino The II (the male), and how Levin fed him beer and he died a few days later of alcohol overdose. Susu (that's "milk" in Malay), my first Albino hamster who was a first class escape artist and liked to jump off the table 3 feet off the ground. In her final escape, she was pregnant, and never to be found again. Mocha and Earl Grey, the incestuous pair who multiplied over and over, making me the proud owner of close to 30 hamsters in the short span of 4 months. I don't really remember the rest, 'cause by then there were just too many. I gave away a few, and the rest got eaten by cats (we'd moved the cages outside because dad was ill, and the cats knocked the cages off the table and it broke open) which was kinda traumatic. But Coffee was my first and last hamster, and I loved him best of all. The very first to join the family, and the very last to leave. When I was working as a TA, I used to bring him to school so as to bribe the six years olds to be on their best behaviour. He was always so gentle too, as he never bit the children, and they loved him. By the end of the term, he was the class mascot, and all the kids wanted a hamster, lol. Coffee, running around the house in his clear plastic ball, making a mess ever so often which I had to clean up. He died a month after I left for Canada. He was a little over two years old. I miss him.
