Rona Roni - My other babies

when i was in the UK, i loved to watch the Malay version of Cindarella series shown at TV3, acted by Bront Palarae, Sharifah Amani and Remy Ishak...love to see them acting, the script was fantastic (eventho mengarut2), sadly no more sequel for dat show....later they make another series featuring Bront and Amani for Astro....Rona Roni Makaroni....hmm, nothing exciting actually, another typical Malay series.....but the names was quite easy to catch, Rona and Roni...

around dis time my fiancee (hubby now) bought two hamsters as his companions in his 'rumah bujang'....see, hubby loves animals, not afraid of them...especially snakes...why? simply becoz i hate and scared and 'geli' of snakes...he very much lurrvveeeeddddddd to have one as a pet...anyways, he bought a pair of hamsters (each male and female) so dat there will be something alive and breathing in the house other than him....he bought a cage, a 'roda' so dat they can play and 'pusing2'....he asked me what to name them...guess what, since the show was airing at astro back then, i decided to name them rona and roni...which one is which, no idea =P...we didnt even know how to check the sex at dat time....i was actually unpleased with the idea of hamsters...they can grow very big until they look like mouse/rats/guinea pigs, hehehe, im a bit 'geli'...luckily hubby bought the small ones, of robovsky species which will never grow big but also the not-so-manja type...

until about a month or two later, we went dating on a Saturday, then he returned home only to find his pets were missing....he searched hi and lo for them but nowhere to be found in the house.....suspected it was the cat who ate them...stray cats (or maybe somebody else's cat..dunno, dun care) can enter the house as hubby used to open the sliding door at the master bedroom upstairs and leave it open to air the room....he was so sad by the incident and didnt buy any replacement...even i didnt hv the chance to meet them....see, my mum was afraid and 'geli' with rats and all the species including hamsters...so, when my mum found out about the missing rats, she was so glad n at the same time warned me she wouldnt come to our house if there are hamsters there....fuhhh, 'lega'...for awhile...

later on, when i was pregnant for 5-6 months, suddenly hubby is very interested to buy hamsters again...altho actually im oso 'geli' with them, hubby was so persistent dat i end up 'mengalah'....of coz with some conditions, only the robovsky type and only one pair.....i was so scared dat they would breed a lot more hamsters dat i set another rule, to give away the children or even sell them back to the pet shop...then come another problem, my mom...since she has warned me b4, so every time they come to my house, i would hid the poor creature in the stor (actually a room downstairs, not so small space)....sometimes we just forgot to hide them, so i would pray very hard my parents wont notice....or covered them with a blanket....hahahaha =P........so we manage to hide their existence for some time....by then both my parents had been wondering wat is underneath the blanket, is it an aquarium? is it empy? is there fish? hmm.....

after Ariana was born, my parents regularly come to our house until one day, when we're back from our trip to Kelantan.....my family stop by my house to perform prayers....I quickly grab a blanket to cover them....so, I went upstairs to pray...after finished my prayers, hubby asked me did my parents noticed it...i said not a chance...my brother upon hearing dat, he said 'tadi ayah baru ja bukak selak...trus ayah habaq kat mak, bukan ikan la, tikus...' gulp, oo ohh...'matila aku mak xmo mai dah'......luckily coz of her beloved granddaughter, mom still come to our house...'mana bleh xmai jumpa cucu'....power of Ariana is sooo tempting.....she'll try not to bother about the hamsters, not to look and pretend they werent there....she asked me to get rid of them due to concern on Ariana's well being but I assured her Ariana is well taken care of....we would wash our hands before touching Ariana and put her away from the aquarium.....so, rona and roni and their children and their grandchildren are safe.....at least for now =P....

some how when i gave birth to Ariana, rona or roni gave birth too...and another a few weeks after dat.....and another.....i think its the season, the 'mengawan season' coz now they've stopped....do u know dat hamsters ate their children if the child is sick or unfit to survive till grown up? hmm, dont know whether its true or not but we do find some of the children missing even when the aquarium is shut....up till now, with a few deaths, and a few births, we have a total of eight...or nine...or ten hamsters....hihihihi, i forgot how many of them they are....
