These are 3 videos with me and Mr. Pogi.. my young male canary.  He was actually given by my colleague and friend Badr..... and he turned out to be a good singer.  Video 1 and 2 happened one morning.  Then video 3 was taken today 26Sep08, Friday.  Its funny and amusing because he seems to like being video taped and near the end of the video.. i asked him to say thank you and he sounded like he just did

I just got a new pair of budgerigars yesterday.

Went to a petshop which I have seen in one of my bus trips... and its wan't until I turned back again did i see it.. its along Makarunah street just after tahlia and near the Palestine road.

Anyway, the two guys working in the shop were busy so I had to wait a looong time.  Watching the budgies cage.  There were maybe around 20 budgies.. and what really amazingly caught my eyes is a pair of blue budgies, kissing each other, well more of like exchanging food.... obviously they are a pair.

What really suprised me, is that the 18 other birds are just like there, i mean just like noather bird in the cage, while these two are oblivious of what ever is going around them

I kinnda relate that to life. You walk into a crowd and there she was, from among the many other girls, you will notice one, and she will just grab you.

I think that's how it all works...... when we see that special someone, no matter how big the crowd is, we would know, she is the one.

What did you do as a child that you feel guilty about even to this day? 

It wasn't really an intentional act of stupidity.  I stepped on my pet duckling. 

I have always loved animals since I was very young.  I remember buying small tropical fish and putting them in bottles only to find them dead after a few days, because I didn't know they needed air-pumps and oxygen in the water... anyway, I wasl also fascinated by chicks and ducklings. 

When I got my first duckling, I would spend hours with it after school.  One weekend, as I was fetching water (in our province at that time, almost every neighborhood had a common deep well pump), my duckling would always follow me.  On the way home, although I was aware it was following me something happened that made me get a bit off balance and had to step back.... OUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH... guess what.... I stepped on my duckling!   Good God I didn't crush it but it was fighting for its life when I held it in my hand. 

At my age of 8, it was painful to see a pet die... and I accidentaly killed it.
