of late, Jimi has been subjected to a lot of trauma. now i’m sure he understands (a lot better than anybody else) what Kafka’s characters feel, having to survive and cope with the absurdity of this bizzare existentialist world.

Aggressor No. 1: Ang Wei Yi

Guilty of:

1. placing Jimi on my table fan and forcing the poor soul to perform Mission Impossible cliff-hanging stunts (when fully aware of the fact that he’s fat and incompetent.) in the process, Jimi’s hind legs slipped off one of the bars and he was left hanging on for dear life with just one clinging paw.

2. trying to force cheese sticks into his mouth while menacingly repeating the words “EAT! EAT! EAT!”

Aggressor No. 2: Derryn Wong

Guilty of:

1. flattening Jimi with Ah Chang the Elephant. (when that didn’t work, he trapped Jimi in a flat Ferrero Rocher box in another attempt to squash/ suffocate him.)

2. nabbing Jimi while he was trying his very best to escape, lifting him to a considerably daunting height for a creature this puny, and simply letting go.

3. placing Jimi on the wheel and spinning it round and round vigorously, all the while sniggering the way naughty primary school kids do.

Aggressors No. 3 and 4: Clara Tan (with accomplice Wu Hao Tian)

Guilty of:

1. terrorizing Jimi by shoving him down a slide they created outta homework paper while laughing at his frazzled state.

Aggressor No. 5: *The Father (a.k.a Myself) *yunnie's The Mother.

Guilty of:

1. accidentally flinging Jimi off my palm while extending my arm in a stretch. he flew!

2. blasting loud rock in his ears whenever he’s sleeping soundly.

3. carrying him around school in a claustrophobic red box, causing him to feel the undesirable effects of motion sickness.

4. sneezing into his face.

5. depriving him/her of his/her true identity by naming him/her after Jimi Hendrix, thereby causing some gender disorientation and lotsa confusion. yes, for those who still aren't aware, Jimi's actually a girl.

will Jimi end up suffering the same fate as Willy? who can he turn to for comfort in times of trouble and depression? maybe the only true friend he has in this world is Jared the Lizard, whom, i suspect, visits him occasionally. (swear i will kill off this only friend of his, if i ever do find him.)

but there is no cause for worry (don’t go calling up the SPCA just yet! and yunnie don’t kill me!), cause despite having been through so many trials and tribulations, good o’ Jimi’s still alive and kicking, contentedly burrowing around in his lil’ pink cage right this moment. well, at least he looks happy enough.

gazing longingly outta his cage.

trying his very best to escape by impulsively chewing on the jail bars!

dead tired after bersek futile attempts.

lured by cheese stick. (see that greedy twitch heh.)


his downfall would be his own gluttony.


attempting to do some exercise (or so you think.) he's eating! anytime, anywhere. even when on the exercising wheel.


whee~ freedom at last! (i finally took pity on him.) look how his eyes shine!
