Back Home

After a tiring drive from Singapore, with very heavy down-pour along parts of the way, we were finally back at home late yesterday. The weeds have over-grown parts of the lawn, and the terraces were strewn with fallen leaves. A bit messy, sort of an eye-sore.

This morning while plodding around the garden, I was surprised that a small snake has invaded my haven. Extremely irritated, and with the help of a rattan stick which I always keep handily, I sent the little creature to oblivion. This act was noticed by wife who made a lot of grievances about the over-abundance of plants in the compound, thus attracting the intrusion of unwanted guests.

                     

                   
                                   

What an irony. It can be life's little lesson. Just let our guards down for a while, there comes our foe  into our comfort zone. This incident is but a small irritation, unlike the hazy crazy days of yore when I had to face off the challenges of enemies of demonic proportions. Lucky me, I managed to come out unscathed.
