Sad day today .... *sniff*

Today I only had afternoon lessons.
When I took the bus to school, I saw a student on the bus. I smiled at her and she smiled back. It was nice to see students after such a long time... I miss teaching!!

When she alighted, she said cheerfully at the door "Bye Miss Mok!" and I waved. It felt so goood!

Then when I was in school, I met a teacher from that same school after I climbed many flights of stairs. I was breathless, did not called him but gave him a pat on the shoulder and waved "hi".

Did not stopped to chat, because I was on my way for my lessons at 2.30pm. I promised I will call him.

So you wonder, what makes today a sad day?
Is it because I miss teaching? nope
Is it because I did not get to talk to the teacher? nope

so why am i sad you wonder?

Let me tell you.
When I reached home today, I was surprised to find my friendly roborsvski hamster sleeping each at one end of the tank. Weird, because they are sisters and they always sleep with each other, huddled together.

Upon closer inspection.. I realised.. the hamster is dead! *wails*
So sad... it was already stiff and its still in the huddled position, eyes closed, sleeping.

I hope it did not hurt too much, it probably died in the sleep, probably painless. But why did it die?

I saw it running before i went to school! Why why why?

I'm so sad.
