Viewing from her perspective

（原文寫於8月28日，起Office無聊，諗起妹妹而寫。）


Saturday, 25th September, 2004

It was a warm sunny day, and I was sitting here on these soft wooden pieces with my friend Fatty. He's a boy and he is bigger than me, simply fat. He has brown and black patch on his fur and had been here since the first day I came here.

My name is Shrimp Dumpling. This name was given by the kind girl who take care of me everyday. I don't know what is a Shrimp Dumpling, nor a Shrimp or a Dumpling. What I know is grass, water, wooden pieces and Fatty. I'm a female guinea pig with white fur and I'm just a few weeks old.

It was afternoon and a boy look at me through the window. He looks happy and um, I just keep playing with Fatty as usual.

He came in and talked to the kind girl, then she lifted up Fatty and handed him to the boy.

He played with Fatty for awhile, and then the girl handed me to the boy.

Oh, he is wearing white, but I think I want to stay with Fatty more than this boy.

Then I was put into a cardboard box with holes. It's small and cramped. Where is Fatty? Is he coming with me? Can I have some grass and wooden pieces as well? Why is this box moving? I can't stand at all!

I don't know what is happening, but I don't want to go back to my home with Fatty.

My box is placed and everything stops. The boy opened the box but I am not dared to come out. It's bright outside and I can see a translucent wall. There's wooden pieces, grass, water... but Fatty isn't here.

I stayed in the box for awhile because I'm lost. I don't know where I am.

I stepped out of the box and tried those grass, they are the same as what I had before.
So as those wooden pieces, still soft... just a little bit less than home.
The water bottle is old, but I can still drink water from it.
But where is Fatty? Hello?

The boy lifted me up, and placed me on the floor. It's wooden but I can't feel any wood at all. It's glossy and smooth. I had never seen this place and I'm panic. I gee and asked for help. I looked for Fatty but I can't see him at all. Where am I? It's a place that I had never been and I'm alone here. Can I go back home?


He called me Snowie, and probably this is my new name.

雪耳妹妹，呢幾年你都起箱入面，我成日都好忙無時間照顧你，其實我都會內疚。
其實見到你宜家會識得認我，又跟我多D，我好開心。
或許你仲有兩三年生命，其實我知道...如果你離開我會好唔開心。
其實，我最後悔當初要你一個獨自生活，如果...我從來無遇見你，或者你會有更加好嘅主人，唔駛得自己一個？
