SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED!

SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED!

I now have a new friend at home.And he's not human.

Yepp,that's right.He's a tortoise!Nope,we didn't buy him.Dad found him crawling up to the curb leading to our house at night.Talking about fate...!He must have been someone else's...no tortoise as big as my palm like this one could've been living stray on the streets by its own all these years.But what can we do?put up notices about a found tortoise?We'll wait and see if anyone drops by to claim it back in one weeks time,or else,this cute fella is all ours..!Talking about naming it,my Dad first called it 'Toi' and when he said Toi,what I had in my head was 'Toy' which I think was a cute name for a tortoise...but he wanted it to be spelled with an 'I'.Later,Mum and Sis got it a more chinese name instead,Loi Fook..meaning 'the arrival of luck' in Cantonese..hahaha..!So now it's fixed,English name : Toy / Chinese name : Loi Fook.prefer the name Toy,though.Can't wait to show him to everyone in penang.

This lil' fella seems to be really sleepy and perhaps hungry too.but we juz didn't have any veggie at home to feed it.Dad will get them first thing in the morning tomorrow...we tried feeding it with pears but it refused to get his head out.He just went to sleep after that,like really 'closed eyes' kinda sleep.so cute..!hope he's not starving,though.

Perhaps maybe it was the cold rainy night,Loi Fook/Toy seem to have taken a likened to the floormat in our kitchen.It seems to prefer hiding under the mat even though he has a shell...can someone pls tell him that?He will be sleeping in a small tub at a small corner outside the kitchen....he's now currently walking around the room,poking his head at every lil thing,and occasionally banging walls...dun underestimate him despite him being a tortoise,he can actually walk quite fast!really hope we could keep him,perhaps luck has arrived with this little fella.
