A Turtle Story

24th January, 2011

Something unusual happened today. After lunch and was heading home, as usual Herman was driving, and all of a sudden he swerved the car to the right and avoided running over a turtle in the nick of time. I was like 'what the hell', and he said 'a turtle, quick quick pick it up' . As usual lah, I have to do the scary part, and so with both my bare hands I carefully lifted it up and put it inside a box behind the car booth. The turtle was trying to cross to the other side of the road and that road was actually a busy one. 

Maybe it could be a lost pet, a stray pet or even an abandon pet but I doubted it. Or it could be washed up from its home after a heavy downpour and was looking its way back. It looked lost and it was in such a pitiful sight, in the middle of the road and I am glad we took and welcome it to its new home, our home that is! Think of what might have happen if it falls on the wrong hands? Turtle soup, perhaps??

We decided to keep it for the time being until it grows too big for us to handle. Then we will release it back to nature, far away from civilization. Right now its in a plastic aquarium with water in it and I bought a big bottle of terrapin food, and its well fed and safe. Had yet to name it though.

Whether its a dog, a cat, a hamster, a rabbit or a snake or whatever pet you might have, when you notice somethings not right with them, please take them to the vets before its too late.

Last but not least...Be kind to animals

Mr. Turtle ( Did you choose the owner of your new home?)

Nothing to do...

Nothing  to do

Simply pick up a book

And read it through

As I turn the pages

The adventure slowly unfolds

Too engross  ever since

A page turner, a best seller

Love the plot, love the suspense

A thriller or a mystery I wont miss

From dawn to dusk I continue

No where to be

At home I'll be

With a book or a magazine

To explore and to learn

To places I can only imagine

Experience by others I can feel

Examples I can follow
Ideas I can borrow

Inspirations I can get
Hope to be there one day

Finish a book and crave for more

Pick up another
Wonder what's in store

Just a book I'm content with

A window to my imagination

Ever since

Cheerio :)
