Hiss...Hiss

My mom don't usually wake me up early in the morning, but this morning was exceptional. She woke me up like so early...like 6am....wah lau..i was still in dreamland. Yeah.. i know some of you actually wake up that early. Well..i start work at 9am, i only need 15 mins to get ready and my house to office is only 10 mins drive. So usually i wake up at 8.15am or sometimes 8.30am.

Looking at mom's freaked out face..i asked....'hamisu...?' in a very sleepy voice leaning againts the room door. 'You come and see la...' mom said. I was like....WHAT???? wake me up just to ask me to go see something. This better be good. Reluctant to move away from by bed more i asked again....'Go see what?' Then mom gave me the news which wakes me up from my dream in an instant.

Mom : Got snake...
Me : What snake?
Mom : Gim cua...(python)
Me : Where?
Mom : My room...i woke up and saw that fella by hole at the wall. Come and see la.
Me : Big or not?
Mom : Big also...now coming inside d...how?

So, i went over to her room and look from outside. The snake was at the roof slowly slithering it's way towards the door. We then went to the hall to figure out what to do and who to call. Mom then thought of this odd job worker staying nearby. She then went with her motorbike to call Ah Bok. I went to monitor where the snake goes.

That fella never stop moving..slowly making it's way out to the kitchen. Still on the wooden roof foundation that fella move slowly through the gap on top of the kitchen door and out. I switched on the lights over there and follows the snake. In slow motion the snake is now heading downwards and about to enter my room. I make a 'hiss' sound as if not allowing that fella to go in. The snake gave me a stare in the face sticking it's tounge out...hiss hiss...I thought ok la ...go lah where ever you wanna go.

I ran back to the hall to get my phone, in mind to call my mom asking what took her so long. I came back and the snake was in a VERY nice position with it's body in the window and head out facing me. I on my HP camera trying to take nice picture of the snake. It was too dark that i have to on the camera flash. With the flash to it's face the stupid snake went inside. I only able to capture this....
Mom then came with Ah Bok, by then the snake went in to my room already and was on the curtain when i went back to see. While i was leaving to get hold of Nikko i saw the snake's body fell off the curtain. Ah Bok went into my room and tried to catch the snake. When i saw he was trying to grab it with the tongs the snake was struggling. He too was struggling to get it in the plastic bag. The battle went on for around 5 - 10 mins before the human finally won. Mom paid Ah Bok a hefty RM20.00 for the good work done.
We then looked at each other with the 'fuh' look in our eyes. Mom went to work, while i sat and watch TV. Still a little too freaked out from the unwanted visit. As mom was going on her bike, she turned and with a smile she say...'eh...people say, snake enters the house. It brings luck.'
