Updates ...or not

Sorry for the lack of updates. Mummy and Daddy have been busy with their own stuff. 

Have you been thinking about me? Well, I'm doing fine and life has been the same for me. Not much changes, still cooped up in the tiny prison except that my playground has now expanded from the kitchen to the living room. Yippee! More things to bite! 

To all my ardent fans: Pictures speak a thousand words. Here are some of my cute cute photos. Hope u like them:)

She sooo wants to eat Mummy's freshly baked corn muffins

Munching on her favourite treat

Watcha looking at?

That's what she does whenever we walk into the kitchen, clamoring for our attention cos she sooooo desperately wants to come out! So tak-glam!

Daddy lost the bet

If everything goes well, there should a new look to this blog of mine. But sadly, none of this is happening soon. What happened is that Mummy had a bet with Daddy that he has to come up with a new banner design by this weekend. If he loses the bet, he has to sleep early, like 1am, every night. On the surface, it doesn't seems that difficult to achieve but for Daddy it is definitely a tall order cos his usual sleeping time is like..... 3am, the earliest, or 4am. To get him to bed by 1am is quite impossible. Well, hope is free;p

As for Mummy, if she loses the bet, she will have forego her weekend sleep-in and wakes up at say, 9am. Looks like Mummy can have her beauty sleep afterall ;)

There must be lotsa distraction for Daddy to complete the task, so in the end, he lost the bet....let's see how he's gonna bluff his way out of this...hahaaha.

Don't look at me Daddy, Cotton is NOT going to help you out here.

Maybe Mummy should have more evil and up the ante if Daddy loses the bet: Daddy has to finish the Arnold Chicken's Carnival Meal all by himself ;) Next one perhaps

Eyebrows for Poker Face

The thing about Cotton is that she has a poker face.  We can never tell what her emotions are - happy, sad or angry - and always clueless about what's going through in that tiny brain of hers.

One fine day, Daddy suddenly had this "brilliant" solution - EYEBROWS. With them, it'll give us some clues to her emotions. We can either draw or paste stickers over it. Brilliant right *Mummy raised up a sarcasm board*

I think she will look like the kitten in the video, constantly wearing a moody look

Give her a food dish

and she used it as a poop dish

Let's Go To The Mall

Go Away!

Daddy n Mummy are sick.

Don't come near me!

Do you wanna be my friend?

Hmm.. should I or should I not? To have a chinchilla friend that is. Mummy and Daddy are always here for me, but we chinchilla are social animal. So it seems like a good idea to have someone here to share the joy of raisins, to jump for cover together at the sound of thunder, and race around the kitchen when we're allow to run free. Nothing's better than sharing, no?

Rawk On!

Mummy recently chanced upon this on youtube and immediately fell in love with it. 

It's a platform served to expose the most talented musicians. The main draw of this is "Back to Basics". Musicians are challenged to bring music to its most basic, acoustics and RAW level.  

Mummy's favourites are Dirty Heads (fantastic cover on "Viva la Vida") and Rome. 

Do enjoy.

RAWK ON!

At Last!

At last it's raining and I'm loving every moment.

I can feel the wind in my fur, hear the light patter of the rain on the window panes and smell the invigorating scent of the cool weather.

I'm so excited that I even sacrificed my nap time.

Mummy's note: I don't think it's the cool weather. It's more like the paper towel roll that keeps her entertained, so much so that she just REFUSED to sleep.

FUR

Mummy suddenly has this idea of dolling up Cotton. Afterall, Cotton is a girl and I'm sure she has the vanity side (I hope she has).

So I went googling for "Chinchilla Clothes" and was appalled to find sites that SELL chinchilla fur!

GOODNESS!!

How can people do that?!?!?!! Chinchillas are so harmless and cute. No doubt they have the most beautiful and softest fur in the world but this does not give us any right to kill them just for that!

Can you imagine how many chinchilla are sacrificed just to make one fur coat? Worst, there's people who are wiling to pay obscene amount so that they can possess it and flaunt it. How far can one go just for vanity's sake?

Mummy can't bear seeing all this cruelty anymore and pray that one day, such inhumane cruelty towards these defenseless chin will stop.

Bow Before the New Sith Lord!

My World

Metal grills, boundaries, fences, cage

You can call it whatever you want

This is my world

A world where Freedom doesn’t exist

A world where Loneliness prevails

Cotton I am, Prisoner I am

This is life, this is me

2009

Our wishes for our lil’ furry baby

1. Stop peeping on everything, be it cloth, hay, any shiny metal or US
2. Less stubborn
3. Be less jumpy. It’s only the roaring sound of the motorbike
4. Less biting
5. Show more affection to the hands that feed her
6. Stop trying to escape, especially under Mummy’s watch

Last but not least, stay healthy and cute always.

We heart you, Cotton!
