MY NEIGHBOURHOOD MY ZOO

Since that kelawar incident, me & Cik Nanie are too traumatize to sleep at our own house.

Despite all the measures taken so that the incident won't happen again, (ayah pasang dawai kat grill so that no serangga atau binatang can enter the house through the front door. He even sealed all the gap/hole on the ceiling, bathroom, kitchen & everywhere else in the house so that we won't scream in the middle of the night (especially Cik Nanie) because a big hairy spider is crawling on our bed), i still dont feel so good to sleep in the house anymore.

So both of us only dropped by the house after work/during weekends to do the laundry, clean the house a bit, pick our tomorrow's working clothes & baju tido then dash back to mum's house. That has been our daily routine for the last 3 weeks or so. I keep telling myself & Cik Nanie that we have to do a thorough housekeeping before we can sleep in our house again. Then only I can sleep peacefully at night knowing that the house is free from freaky animals especially Mr. U**r.

Last week I dreamt that I was bitten by a flying rattle snake while cleaning the bathroom. Damn scary! When I woke up, the first thing I asked Cik Nanie was the time. I was soo relieved when she said it was already 7am because my mum kata mimpi yang terjadi sebelum Subuh ialah mimpi yang ada makna and according tu orang melayu, kalau mimpi ular ni ada kena mengena dengan bab kawin which I definitely want to avoid..haha.

Anyway, back to serangga & my house story, one of my neighbours asked me why I hardly around these days and I told him what happened, selamba badak je dia kata "biasalah tu kat sini mmg banyak binatang masuk rumah"..he told me few incidents in his house which involved bats and snakes. He gave me few tips on how to handle these situation e.g buy badminton rackets to kill the bat and pour hot boiling water to kill the snake (to avoid leaving any trace of its blood in your house sebab according tu orang-orang tua kalau ade U**r mati berdarah kat dalam umah, akan mengundang spesis yang sama ke dalam umah disebabkan ade bau darah tu - betul ke tidak wallahuaklam - but of cos i don't want that to happen).

I think it's a practical idea but a bit too kejam la. I dun have the heart to hit the poor bat to death and just pretend that i'm hitting a shuttlecock. And though snakes make me feel 'geli geleman', rasanye tak sampai ati plak nak jirus air panas kat dia. Futhermore, it's going to be a slow and painful death for Mr. U**r which I think I can't bear to see. Ntah-ntah bila nampak Mr. U**r ni je, takdenya sempat nak masak air panas ke ape. Kot aku terus lari kuar umah adelah, pas tu baru pikir nak call bomba ke polis ke sape-sape yang dirasakan munasabah at that time .

And they said the situation will be worst with the recent land development works nearby. Dengar-dengarnye, there were even wildboars sesat in our neighbourhood! Can't blame them la cos they have nowhere else to go since we have cleared the hutans for the project. Perhaps this is the oppportunity for me to earn some cash selling wildboars tu the vietnamese working in the industrial area. Nasib baik takde gajah melintas, tak pasal2 aku jual gajah kat Royal London Circus plak nanti.

Wildboar Satay, anyone?! hehe...
