How I caught a rat

This rat had been bugging us for quite some time. It had shitted on top of my microwave oven. Once, it ran past under my chair. Next it hid inside the book rack.

Another time, it was scratching from inside my store room. My husband had seen it running across the door way.

I had always wanted to get the rat poison from my shop but I kept on forgetting.

But yesterday, I remembered. I brought back the rat poison and the mouse trap.


Here's the mouse trap. I just opened it to reveal the sticky part. Then, I placed a few pellets of the rat poison at the center of the trap. I placed it under the cupboard before I went to bed last night.


This morning, I peeped under the cupboard and I saw the rat still alive struggling to get loose. I folded it gently and threw it into a plastic bag, tied it and placed it outside my house. Later, the garbage man collected it.

    rat poison traditionally contains a blood thinner called warfarin, which in high doses, causes internal bleeding.

    it's a horrible way to go....

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
