Village life is not for the faint-hearted (part 3)
January 6th, 2010Back in November 2009 I wrote about some interesting creatures that lurk just outside and quite often INSIDE my house in my village.
On the 2nd of January 2010 I brought the whole family to “balik kampung” and what a new year greeting we got: a cobra was just outside and was trying to enter the house when the dog alerted everybody. It was killed by my brother’s deft blow to the head with a hoe.
The hero and the villain:
If we thought everything’s over and it was going to be a relaxing night, we were wrong: it was one of those nights where flying insects were everywhere, attracted to the lights.
We had to switch off the light in the living room. Luckily they did not come back the next night.
After considering all 3 parts of this blog post I think my Kota Kinabalu-raised kids could be forgiven for not wanting to go back there again; when the time comes, philly jobs .com could be one of the places they visit, with the intention of getting as far away from the village as possible?!
