Kayak...paddle paddle paddle

Hi. Hammy here. It seems that Jim and his friends went kayaking and excluded me. Why? The reason is that he is scared that I might most probably fall into the water and get eaten by sharks. I think he lied to me but, oh well. I can swim ok. Anyway, here is what he has to say:


Hi everyone. Jim here. No, the reason why I don't want to bring Hammy along is for his own safety. See, so caring I am. Anyway, I went kayaking the recent Tuesday. I had my study break . The whole kayaking trip cost me $125 per person. There were around 22 of us, i think... It was quite worth it though. What is included? A tour around Penguin Island by a few guides. It was at Rockingham. 45 minutes down south. Then, there's lunch, kayaking and some more kayaking. Tired but still worth it. Here are the pictures and I let them do the talking for me. By the way, I took all these pictures with my not so good camera hehe. Hope you don't mind. Oh ya, I ain't that a photographer too.

This is what it looked like once we arrived. Beach, sea water, birds, sand, and more beach.

Leo just can't wait to get into the sea. See how unhappy he is. Make him happy people!!! hurry!!

All happy and excited to get out of the van and go kayaking. People, faster, please, out of the van...?!!

Apparently, there's a terrorist among us. "Silence, I'll kill you...!!"

Oh my, who's this dude? J to the I to the M.

For some reason, people just don't want to get out of the van. Hey, move it. Faster, get out!!

After much persuasion, Leonel eventually came out of the van, feeling so excited, happy and gay. Yeh!!

One of our guides untying the kayaks.

This guy says "....Hey, guide, would you please hurry up with our kayaks? We don't have all day you know.."

The threesomes!!! Yeh, time to kayak!!

I was walking down the beach and came across these thingys. At first , I thought that it was for the turtles to "park" and to lay eggs. What imagination that I have but I doubt that it is for that.

Me, on the beach. Yeh!!

Another view of the beach. Beautiful ain't it?

The guys... the mans...!!HAHA

Paying close attention to something.

Spider Johnson and Shawn.

Emperor Wu with his loyal subjects. One that serves him very well, another that drinks all the time, and another that just likes to hide and give surprises.

Mike and his steps taken.

"Cavemen, surrounding a "fire".

This is called bush food. Apparently, it can be eaten. The guide took it and ate it. Then, I was the next one to try it. I did. Guess what it taste like? Salty salad. Very very salty salad.

Mummy bird and her babies.

I call this, "The return". Emo guys. Who are they ...?

White caps...yeh!!

You have stairway to heaven. This is stairway to the beach....

Our kayaks. Birds, get away. Shoo!!!

Toilets. They are environmentally friendly. Cause, whatever you discard in here, they will store it for 3 years, and after that, use for fertilisers i think.

Penguins. Hai!!!

I'm fat and chubby. Don't pinch me k.

Me acting cute. You likey?

Following the leader, the leader the leader.....Food is this way. Come and follow me.

What's your name? I'm penguinee. What's yours?

After seeing her feeding the penguins, it's our turn to be fed. Hooray!! nice food.

Two penguins. A black and a white one. They are apparently trying to mate. hahaha.

These two also wanted to do the same but I don't encourage so.

Look at this macho man.

Taking a nap.

After all that, we kayaked back to our starting point after kayaking one big circle around the island.

A singh and a japanese?

Look at them. Just finished everything and they are already checking to see whether their BF msged them or not.

The end. Bye bye.

Let me introduce to you...

Hi everyone. Hammy here. It's really good to be blogging again. Yes, now that my paws are up and running, well, not running but typing, I just feel like introducing to you some of my friends that I met during my trip to UK. Here it is...

This, everyone, is Sir Jeffrey. Yup, He's got a "sir" from the queen apparently, well, that's what he told me. Quite a quiet fellow though but once you mention about hamster rights, he will go on lecturing you non-stop. 5 hours the least? Sometimes, he is weird. He will stare at you with his big round one-sided glass thingy. Scary at some times but ya. Anyway, he claims that he is not afraid of cats. Obviously, he's just bragging about it though.

I was staying in a house somewhere in London on a quiet street. I heard some gun shots , like 3 to 4 of them. I turned and looked back, only to find this hamster, Rags, holding and pointing his rifle at me. I found out that he was the one that made the gun shots from his mouth. Don't ask me how, but it was very very real. A playful hamster with a big appetite for destruction. Just don't ask him to hold anything ( i.e, your carrots), he'll just bite them into pieces, spits it out and offer it back to you. Other than that, a mischievous fellow too. There was once that I was eating my sunflower seeds, minding my own business when suddenly a cat started to chase me. I ran for my life. After running for like a meter or so, I just lie down on the floor, exhausted, and just thought of my funeral, in the cat's stomach. The fortunate thing was, the cat didn't eat me. Why? Rags friend. Oh my. Apparently, they played a trick on me. How naughty. Ish...

Polline, the shy one. She likes hiding in this purple thingy container thingy. I found her in there when I was on my way down to meet my cousin. I was curious as to why was she squeezing herself into that small thing. I mean, there's so much space outside but why inside. Nah, never really get to talk to her much. She was quiet most of the time. All she ever said was " squeak, squeaky squeak squeak!!". Man, I don't even understand.

Fegos, the 'golfer'. He likes to show off his golf skills. Apparently, he's the only hamster in the world that can play golf, making him number one in the world. Well, that's what he claimed. Likes drinking and hanging out in the bar. I did managed to talk to him but all he talked about was golf golf and more golf. Like, how he scored a hole-in-one, how he hit the ball hard enough that it was faster than the speed of light. Oh gosh!! I was so bored.

Yup. Those where some of the hamsters that I met. Interesting characters but just not the kind that I want to be around with. Still, I love running in my hamster wheel, eat my sunflower seeds and drink water. Of course, blog. Alright, gotta go and get something to eat. I'm hungry. God bless everyone.

Romans 8:38

Hi!!! Hammy here. Yes, I'm finally back from my trip to UK. Miss me? I had been a way or quite some time now, and thus, the blog haven't been updated for quite some time. Now that I'm back, this blog is going to be up and running again like the old days, depending on whether my paws can keep up. Alright, Jim has something to share about Romans 8:38, a bible verse that he recently fell in love with. Here is what he has to say:

Hi. Jim here. How are all of you? I have something to share about Romans 8:38. I stumbled upon this verse while doing my quiet time. It was so so so so beautiful. I loved it so so so much until I want to memorise it, and guess what, I did. Here is the verse:

"For I can assure you that
neither death nor life,
neither angels nor demons,
neither past nor present,
neither any power,
neither height nor depth,
neither any creation in this world
that can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord. " Romans 8:38

Beautiful isn't it? To sum it all up, it's just saying nothing, nothing in this world, and nothing in the spiritual realm, nothing in all creation, and nothing that is known to exist can separate us from our love with God. Why? Because God's love is powerful and it goes beyond anything. His love for us surpasses all things. It is so powerful that nothing can break it, just like diamonds that can't be cut but God's love is way way way tougher and stronger than diamonds. I fell in love with this verse because it is so comforting to know that God loves me, and at the same time, non can break our love relationship. Awesome!! God loves each and everyone of us. He even gave His son, Jesus, to die on the cross for us. John 3:16 says:

" For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

The act of God , giving His one and only son to die for our sins is just like sacrificing my own sweet cute little daughter to die for a bunch of ants. Ya, you might think, why do such a thing? Why sacrifice for a bunch of useless ants that are so weak. Why? The same thing applies to us. We, are like the ants. Useless, weak and worst, sinful in nature. By right, we have nothing to do with God because He is so holy, and who we are? Just mere sinful humans. BUT, God, a holy God, almighty God, everlasting God, the God that created the heavens and the earth, came to us, loves us, and wants to be involved with us. He wants to be with us. That's why He gave His son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. He's giving us a chance to repent, admitting that we are sinners, and surrending our lives to Jesus by believing that He died for us. He's giving us a golden opportunity to be His children, to establish a relationship with Himself. To be continued....

God loves you.
