A Mice Weekend

I had a very interesting weekend, my sister came to visit me with her 2 daughters, her husbands niece and boyfriend BamBam *that’s his nick name of coz*. It was nice to see them, it’s been a while since I went back to Malacca.

BamBam is an animal trainer and he owns a Reptile pet shop in Malacca. He came to KL to collect his orders of 200 white mice, 50 pinky *baby mice* and 6 snakes. He uses the white mice to feed his 98 of the various snakes in his shop. I’m told that these mice can only last within a week, and next week he has to go to another supplier to get more mice for his snakes.

Yesterday I accompanied BamBam to subang The Summit to collect his supplies, along with his girlfriend Fiona and my niece Jamie. He wasn’t sure how to get there so I had to help him find his way there… I’ve been to the Summit twice before but I wasn’t sure how to get there so I called Vadai and ask for some directions… Guess what!!!! I didn’t get lost, I knew exactly where I was going but I just missed the turning into subang… heheh anyway I manage to guide him back to the exact location…not bad eh!.

We met up with the supplier opposite the Summit, funny guy.. first thing he said to us was “Oh I hope you all will like the smell… kaw kaw one!” I’ve never seen that many mice before and they look so cute especially the baby mice… so sad that they were only given life to be food for another creature. Anyway the mice were placed in 4 plastic aquariums and everything manage to fit in the back of a kancil… fuhhhh can you imagine the smell… it was wicked…hahah as soon as we got home he changed the saw dust and gave the mice water and food to eat so that they will live to the journey back home the next day to be eaten by vicious poisonous snakes.

Anyway, the mice were nicely kept inside Oscars dog house, it made him very uneasy coz he was trained to catch rats and here we are bringing dozens of mice in his territory. Oscar personally liked BamBam, maybe he can sense that BamBam was an animal lover.
My sister and gang went back home today with 250 mice and 6 snakes in the booth. The house is so quiet now without my nieces making noise playing with Oscar and now my poor doggie is feeling sad coz the lack of attention. He had a busy week anyway and now its time for him to sleep… and for me to relax.
