Had a dull morning today because I found out that 2 of my chicks disappeared when I was in Singapore. I had a hunch that something went wrong last night when I couldn't find the hen. It rained heavily here when the chicks went down the slope behind my house to play, I guess. Maybe they got swept away by the flowing river water, or got eaten by a monitor lizard which we call a 'biawak' in Malay.
This has taught me to value whatever you have when it's still there, let it be family, pets or even a bag or a book. It doesn't feel at all good to have lost something precious to us, so appreciate whatever you have now. Shed some tears and then came my father who, to my amazement, asked me whether I would like to buy a camera and a handphone. He asked me to think about it during the holidays, but I wonder whether it was just a form of consoling me for the loss of my precious little things.
Chickens have been in my life for practically 8 years, since I was 6, so they mean a lot to me. 1.5.2001 - this was the first day ayam serama became a part of my life. They are colourful, lively little beings, they're certainly not the type you see getting slaughtered in the market. Despite this loss, I still have to get on with my life, right?
