sharing the bedSubhanallah!
what beautiful autumn blue sky it is today!
y'know, Allah has this whole galore of intricate shades of skies,
but i gotta say, crispy blue autumn sky is my favourite.
the air is so crispy it makes the sky so blue,
so so blue, you'd think blue couldn't get anymore bluer!
^-^
autumn sky, simply the best!
and the winter sky and the spring sky,
they're beautiful too!
^-^
anyway,
assalamualaikum kawan2 ^-^
it was nice autumn cool air and sunshine warmth last week,
and then over the weekend, the temperature dropped so suddenly.
thursday was around 20 degree celcius,
and friday noon? it was 13.
kyaaaaa!!!!
chejuk chejuk chejuk!!!!
brrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
its official now
that the cripsy cold winter air from the big land of china had come to stay.
the snow falls 50cm high on average at the northern part of the island,
while tokyo is standing between autumn and winter.
it takes a little bit to get adjusted to the sudden drop of mercury,
but with the cold flow of air, them maple and ginko leaves here
they're finally shading red and golden colors.
the panorama?
The Grace of Allah,
magnificent grandeur!
^-^
i havent been snapping any photos lately,
so this weekend, i'm thinking about visiting them trees as they go to sleep.
^-^
anyway, back to things at home,
mr mott (remember mr mott?) has his own house,
which i place by the foot of my bed, on the floor.
as i was snuggling with mr mott last weekend,
i noticed his little feet were as cold as ice as he padded along my arm.
that poor little guy!
i just couldn't find the heart to make him stay in his house
on the cold floor all day while i go to work,
tsk tsk tsk...
i mean, even i can't stand it when my hands and feet goes cold in the winter,
and he's so tiny, i can't make him put up with that right?
so i thought, i'd let him nest on the bed,
on the warm electric blanket cuz afterall,
me and my pets, i don't usually keep them caged.
i mean, how would i feel if i was caged?
i don't think i'd like that, bleargh!
i used to have 5 cats as pets the first and second year i was here,
and i used to let them run around the neighborhood of course.
and with the little ferrets,
while the standard way of keeping them was to keep them caged,
boboi and lulu owned the house.
toilet trained ferrets, who would've figured? ^-^
smart kids huh? ^-^
to my surprise,
mr mott didn't need much toilet training too!
you see, mr mott doesn't like his place dirty,
so on the fluffy rug i spread for him,
he decided this one little corner as his toilet.
i spread a pet toilet sheet there and wallah!
easy cleaning!
no fuss, no trouble at all!
^-^
interesting is,
how he only does his business there,
and no where else ^-^
it was the same with the ferrets,
so i guess, these little furry animals,
they like it clean.
ain't that great?
^-^
one thing i found out about mr mott,
is that he sings too.
sometimes we'd watch tv,
and there'd be this background music
with the high pitched strumming of japanese koto or syamisen,
and every time the instruments gets strummed,
he'd go high pitch "
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...!!"
every - single - time!
hyaaahhhh!!!!
i just love the little guy ^-^
anyway,
the scientific name for molmot is Cavia Porcellus,
or Cavy for short.
the japanese calls it "morumotto",
so i assumed that its molmot in english,
only to find that the name generated from the name "Marmot",
as of the members of the genus Marmota,
in the rodent family Sciuridae (squirrels).
well they say that Marmots are generally large ground squirrels.
so that's the scientific explanation from where mr mott came from,
only mr mott is much more cuddlier, and tinier compared to his ancestors.
he's an Abyssinian guinea pig,
so compared to the usual guinea pigs who have short coat of hair,
his is a little bit longer,
and a little bit tak terurus ekekeke...
why?
because dia ada banyak pusar kat badan dia.
so many pusar that the direction of the hair goes everywhere.
he got a mohican thing going on his little head too.
huhuuuu... punkish!
or, you can imagine a big size hamster.
with longer, ruffled hair.
so that's it about mr mott,
he used to be sooooooooooooo timid,
and soooooooooo paranoid,
he'd protest every time i'd pick him up.
but now?
he goes :
"
uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkk! uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikkk!!! uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkk!!!!"
with all excitement when i step into the house from work,
he darts around the bed wanting to play,
and the one thing that just melts my heart is?
when he'd come running to sit on my lap,
and looks up at me as if saying,
is it ok if i sit here?i know it could be my mind playing tricks on me,
but i'm playing along with the tricks.
alaaaaaahaiiiiiii....
of course its okay dearrrrrrrrrrrrr........
^-^
me and mr mott,
we share the bed now.
^-^
anyway, all this is Grace from Allah.
and i am grateful.
what ever Allah puts in my way,
what ever joy,
what ever tasks, what ever trials,
it is His Mercy,
and i am grateful to Him.
^-^
Alhamdulillah,
Alhamdulillah,
Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Al Amin...
^-^
p/s:

"it meant the world to hold a bruising faith
now its just a matter of grace"
