just minishorts.

When Chewie died, my mum was equally devastated (we spent the entire night trying to save the bunny)… I suppose it was partially due to how she first opposed the thought of getting a rabbit 'Why didn't you bring a dog back? They're more functional…' that the loss made her a little remorseful.

This post is about Mum's Astro.

Which is why when we brought home Astro (the rabbit breeder called me when I was crying and insisted that I got another one, 'Nevermind lah don't cry I give you another rabbit you take good care of this one okay?') , my mom was adamant that she would do the naming.

We went through a list.

Thunder. (it was raining heavily and there was thunder)
Rusty. (The colour of the coat).
Dusty. (Colour of the coat).
Thermos (I wanted something weird..)
Ricky (She wanted to call Chewie Ricky, but Eric didn't like it).
Seiko (some japanese name).

For some reason mum said finally, 'OK let's call it Astro!'

Sigh. To be honest, I'm not really that keen on a rabbit called Astro. I mean I watch Astro at home, and it's always, 'I'll just go see what's on Astro.'

Now it's taken on a whole new meaning to say, 'I wanna see Astro' in my home.

Anyway folks, this is Mum's Astro. Unlike Chewie, whom mom originally hated (so smelly, so much shit), this kiddo's got my mom's approval. Just yesterday she called me from home and went, 'Hey hey where did you put the camera?'

And I said, 'Err with me in the office. Why, what's up?'

'I wanna take photo of Astro lah! He's just so cute, sitting there!'

I told you rabbits were cute Mum, just that you didn't like only. Now good lah, the rabbit's yours. I just tumpang jaga only.

I still miss my white rabbit lah okay…
