pet tortoise.. introducing..

jojo and gigi.. keke.. i suck at giving names..

down memory lane, this reminded me.. my very first "pet" was tortoise! my dad bought my 2nd sis and me a tortoise like this for each of us.. (but i'm very sure the kiam ka na dad we had will surely not pay S$9 for these two!!).. my 2nd sis and i then decided to name them yoyo and toto.. needless to say, me the squeamish, has nothing to do with them other them looking at them from far.. my 2nd sis did all the change water, feeding, playing with them.. so, while at market yestterday i saw tortoises for sale.. so, bought 2 for ken and wenn to "relive" my history childhood..

i can only recall how wonderful my dad was.. he bought us birds, rabbits, tortoises, fishes, chicks for my sibblings.. and he even made kennel for the dogs, some litter boxes(?) for the rabbits etc during various stages of our lives when we (minus me, i never like any animals) were loving different animal phases.. i can only envy those indulgences my dad showered on my first 3 older sibblings, esp my 2 brothers on this pet aspect.. so, my older bro still love dogs.. my 2nd bro still love fishes.. and the girls unfortunately do not like any animals.. heh.. probably we got my mom's genes.. let's hope my ken and wenn will look back and remember me fondly like i did for my dad..

P.S... lynn, if u'r reading this, YM me some tips on caring of jojo and gigi.. EM give me 1 week before these 2 die.. *yikes*.. hope not!
