Interesting facts

After moving in for half a year, we've discovered some interesting facts.



We have a 'tiny' neighbour!

Can you spot her?

A closer look!  This photo was taken in March.  There is only one bird.  Todate, there are two of them.  It can be quite noisy at times.

We tried to destroy her nest once but a few days later, the bird rebuild it again!  We were looking for eggs or baby bird but there's none so far.  It would be quite an experience for the children to see how does a mother bird care for her young.

Another headache caused by our 'tiny neighbour' is her dropping.  Our clothes are hanging nearby for drying everyday.  So, you can imagine the frequency of her flying in and out, up across our clothes.  Hence, 'accidents' do happen sometimes.

A closer look, although it may be a bit unpleasant in sight.

Occasionally, we have some 'special' visitors!

There was once Daddy set up a trap to catch house lizards because there are many of them at the porch.  Few days later, we found a monitor lizard instead!  Mommy found it too disgusting to even take a photo, so there's no proof here.  Two days later, the monitor lizard was gone!  Looks like he managed to escaped.

Sorry, you are not welcome here.  Please leave at once!

Now you know why we always keep our glass door or mosquitoe netting close.  Mommy found it trying to intrude into our house twice!!!



We are not alone!!!
We certainly are aware of that.  With two basketball courts next to our house, the noise made by these high adrenaline pupils do shake our world.  Very often, their basketballs invaded into our house compound.  Thank God that so far none of our glass windows are broken.

Fire!
Open burning seems to be quite prevalent in our neighbourhood.  It does no harm to Mommy, although sometimes Mommy complained our clothes has burning smells.  But Daddy suffered more.  His sinus problem is worse on days where open burning is carried out.  The smoke also irritates his eyes a lot.

Slow Down!
Road humps or some people called it speed bumps are in abundance in this area.  Probably our area is closed to 3 schools.  Everyday Daddy needs to drive through 10 humps to bring Elyse to her kindergarten.  It's only a short distance of 500m!


These facts may caused a bit of inconvenience sometimes.  However, we are still grateful for such a lovely house that the church has provided for us.  The church members are super caring.  They loved to feed us with all sorts of yummy local food.   We love this church.  Yes, we are!
