I was at Guardian looking for my mum's hair dye during lunch hour. Coincidentally, that particular Guardian under my office do nt carry any. I dialled my hp to inform my mum about that.

"Hello, mummy ar?" I said.
"TING, TWINKLE IS DEAD!' mum anxiously responded.
"HUH!"I exclaimed.

AT this point, everyone around me was staring at me. I quickly walk out of the stall with a heavy heart and ask my mum about the details.

"Mummy, are you sure?" I asked in shock.
"Yes, he is dead in his coconut hut. I called him so many times and he never respond once. It was like so many many many times. He's all shrivel up in the coconut." Mum replied.
"Ok i am coming back immediately." :(

I was at the staircase fluttering... hesitating if i should go back office and take everything before i go or just rush down. Then i remember i don't have cash to take cab. I headed for the only DBS lobby before i remembered all the money was used to paid school fees. Fortunately, Joe was sitting outside. Think he was trying to get my attention. Then i quickly grab his leg and told him "Twinkle is dead, i'm rushing back home now can lend me some cash and tell boss." Swiftly, he took out 30 bucks and there i went in the cab.

Many attempts to contact Yida failed so i called April instead. While talking to her, i was tearing and tearing. She said animals do sleep like a log at times tell me dun worry so much. She also damn idea told me to make appt with vet before i reach home. So smart! Stupid me only know how to cry.... Why? Maybe i tot he's really dead, vet also cannot help.

Second line came in, it was Yida. I told him what happened and successfully got him into shock. Immediately, he wanted to rush back like me. Of course he would coz Twinkle likes him so so so much!

During the 1/3 of the journey, i saw my home number flashing on hp screen. I quickly pick it up and heard my mum says, "He's not dead yet, he opened his eyes liao." I'm like thank god, still got hope! What was in my mind at that moment was he was sick and needed help immediately. The only thing i fed him before he slept yesterday was the sprouted seeds. Both Dating and Twinkle were eating REALLY HAPPILY! Geez, if it's really it then i'm the murderer. My heart sank even deeper in the depressing zone.

Vet appt was made, office was settle all i need to reach Twinkle asap. AT the 2/3 of the journey, my mum called again!!! I cringed when i saw the call. Before my mum could speak, i asked "Twinkle cannot make it ? Is he alright?"
I could hear my mum smiling on the other line. " Haha... He's alright, he's eating now. You can go back to work!"

PHEW~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still, i need to believe my own eyes. Mum opened the door with that grin on her face,
"Haha give you a scare liao. He's alright now!"

You could see an instant brightening from my face! Huge relief!

The first thing i saw was Twinkle eating from his seed tray. I brought Twinkle closed to me. Check everything including his poo. All normal. Tried playing pen with him which he usually will attack and he did. Conclusively, he was perfectly well and sound. He must be thinking how come his mummy appear at this hour of the day holding him so tightly. Haha.... I'm so glad that everything is in place. Without further delay, i went back to office in cab.

Geez, my home number flashed again. "Hello, mummy ar. Dun tell me Twinkle is not well again?"
"Hello, dear ar?" Yida said.
Phew...... IT's him i tot wat happen again! Haha... Geezzzzzzzz
He has reached my house and similarly, he only felt better after seeing Twinkle chirping and jumping around in the cage.

After in depth questioning my mum, i realised that she never hit the cage or touch Twinkle. All she did was calling Twinkle's name an umpteen times! Haha! She even told me her heart dropped when she really tot that Twinkle was gone! So i teased her by saying i tot she doesn't like him at all. Guess wat she said.
"If i dun like him, i wun change food and water tray for him when you not around!"
So touched!

Anyway, my guess. Yesterday night, Yida did his search for attachment companies till 130am. In addition, he left my house like 6am in the morning. So i assumed Twinkle didn't have enough sleep which explained the sleeping like a log just now. Not the sprouted seeds! If it was the sprouted seeds think something will also be happening to Dating. Sprouted seeds suppose to be more nutritious than unsprout.

While entering this entry, my phone rang twice from home. Again, i was so worried anything misfortune will happen to Twinkle. But no... It was my Dear cleaning the coconut hut, cleaning the perches in Twinkle's cage!

~~~How nice~~~ My babies really have a nice, caring and good Daddy! Heehee
