She actually requested about 2 months back. I was 心软, and I couldn't find any reason to say no to her. She proposed that if she's a good girls for a period of time, we can reward her by letting her keep hamster. So I told her that up to the weekend that we come back from HK, if she doesn't get 10 "bad" days, I will buy her hamster. Over the past 2 months, she got 7 or 8 "bad". So finally the big day (which was yesterday) arrived. This was the sequence of events yesterday.
In the morning, May took her two kids to our place (Mavis and Mabel) while she went to run errants. After our lunch at Upper Serangoon, we went to my Uncle's place to get the hamster cage from him. Then we went to a pet shop in Toa Payoh. The 3 girls were very excited. At the pet shop they petted some rabbits. I asked the shop owner at lot of questions and picked up a few supplies (food, bedding, teething toy, water dispenser and bathing sand). Finally when I'm done, the girls were asked to choose 2 hamsters from the tank. They had a fun time deciding which hamsters and trying to catch the hamsters. Finally they picked 2, which the girls named as "Harry" and "Friendly".
When we got home, Faith and her sisters were at their door, and they were very excited when they came to know that we got some hamsters. Apparently, they had hamsters before. Joy and Erin went home and soon came to our house with left over supplies. Then the 7 girls were busy setting up the cage before we can settle the hamsters in. But little Carynn soon went away to play with other toys.
Here's some pics of the girls setting the cage:

The girls settled down for a rest and some food:

Not sure if you're aware of this. Years ago there was a hamster sneaking into your Bishan house and I caught it and brought back to JB for my brother. My brother liked the hamster very much and he even let the hamster slept on his body. But the hamster die after a few days and I was very sad about it.
