Off topic…

What antics does your child get up to when s/he does not want to eat something that they have been served?

1. Leave it untouched.
2. Whine and fuss big time about why they have to eat it.
3. Make up excuses – like I am having a stomach ache or I am too full or I need to go poo-poo or why they should not be eating it because their stomach is allergic to it or it is too 'foul' for them to consume let alone look at it??
4. Silently dump it into the rubbish bin when you are not looking?
5. Silently dump it into the loo (but forget to flush or doesn't get flushed properly)!!
6. Silently dump it into the vase next to the dining table and leaving it there for weeks, leaving the adults guessing the whereabouts of the foul smell or wondering why is there is always a trail of ants leading to the vase?
7. The penultimate...actually getting caught in the act doing any of the above 3 to 6?????

Actually I wish they would just leave at no. 1. At least this way you will not encounter unnecessary surprises, cleaning or emotional distress. Also the food will not be wasted, after all there are many who still go hungry. Children these days are just too pampered and wasteful!!

Furry visit

I’ve seen a few animals around our city area – more common are of course dogs, cats and plenty of look-alike remmies, some occasional bats, squirrels and monkeys but this….had me guessing for a while.

First thought was 'cat' but looks a little different with rounded ears and bushier tail.

Sorry for blur small photo - blame the camera as it couldn't focus (sigh). One taken with flash and the other without as MP was shouting to turn off the flash otherwise I will scare it away - so excited somebody!!

Could be a possum - common night visitors in some house backyards in Australia ….but here in Malaysia???

Sort of a racoon? But again probably not likely.

From the ferret family, possibly?

Finally it hit me….musang in Malay!!! Common types are Musang Pandan (Palm Civet Cat) or Musang tenggalung (Malay Civet)!! Ha ha ha…was thinking at that time of mau sang wong (raja kunyit….a species of durian).

Mystery of the masked animal - SOLVED!!

When I showed DH the picture of the musang earlier this morning he claims its the same type of animal that came into our room one night and was climbing on top of our curtain rails. As I was half asleep, can’t confirm whether he was dreaming or what shadow he saw especially since he wasn’t wearing his specs at that time!!

Hm, am wondering whether this is the animal that has been making the noise on our roof and causing mischief? At first we thought it could be rats as it was too loud for cats. Come to think of it, is it this animal that caused some commotion a couple of months back when our neighbours called the police in the wee hours of the morning?

Gonna leave the animal alone unless someone has any suggestion other than lodging a complaint to the Dept of Wildlife and Animals.
