Wow, It's been two days since I last posted! So many things happened just within these two days...
I want to start this entry with something odd to share with you guys, but before that...

Today is a special day for someone... So the first thing I want to do is to say.. Happy birthday! May the good Lord bless you abundantly in everything you do!!

Two days ago when I finished off my post for that day, my mom suddenly shouted me to go down and have a look at something! I went down, and they were outside. My dad was holding a dust pan talking to my neighbor about something like a porcupine. . . So I went to take a look to see what's the commotion about, and when I got there, I saw an animal curled up like a ball, and first thought it was a porcupine! haha! My parents told me what happened, and apparently, my dog found it under the car. One thing's for sure, is that my dog had sense! It didnt want to kill it, but is just curious about it, so it just used it's paw and nose to push it around, as if playing with it. Well, if other dogs would have found it, I think they would have killed it! So, we brought it inside and put it into a box, and started to 'google' porcupines' diet. However, it eventually led us to the fact that it is a hedgehog! Gosh! My dog found a hedgehog!

But I wonder how, and where this hedgehog appeared from. . .
We had been living here for more than 10 years now, but neither we see any creatures like this! So I presumed this belongs to someone, a neighbor likely, who bought it from a pet store, but lost it.
For those who would want to know, hedgehogs eat insects, but after much 'googling', we found out that hedgehogs in captivity has 'cat food' for their diet, and insects are given as treats.
What's more interesting is that hedgehogs in captivity has a longer lifespan than their relatives who lives in the wild.

Well, yesterday, we fed it 'fish food' though. So this morning, my mom and bro went to those small scale pet shop to get some items to create an environment (usually for hamsters) for it, and brought some meal worms (beetle larva) too! So it's living in a aquarium with a better and nicer surrounding now. Am going to upload some pictures to show you guys.

Oh yea, two days ago, Saturday, was the day my bro got back. So, he'll be leaving back to Kuching for a new semester in 1st September.

Today was a another different day for me I guess, happy to have a different day everyday. Woke at around 10am, and just sat in front of my computer to complete my assignments. Till around 1pm when my bro ask me to accompany him to the super market to get some dog food, and cat food for the hedgehog, and so I did along with some other tidbits, which I bought for myself. After reaching home, my bro went up to start a movie (Up), which I watch with him before falling asleep. haha!
By the time I woke up, it's already around 6pm, almost 7pm, and Michael called me on skype that my bro woke me up to answer my friend. Apparently, the group is already in a friends house waiting for me to go there to have ourselves some fun with a steamboat dinner. My bro came along too! And my friends got to know him, and yes, I heard the comment again of me being smaller than him in size. Haha!!

I finally downloaded the Prometheus Development Tool today, and some modules for Drupal. Going to need to start on my literature review soon. Oh yea, GI Joe download is finally completed. So that means I can watch it before dozing off for the night.

Have a blessed week everyone!
