On the Roof Top!

If you ever drive from Pulau Tikus to Tanjung Bungah using Mount Erskine Road, you may want to pay some attention on one of the houses along the road on your right, just right before the traffic light to Hong Seng Estate.

I was driving home this evening and I saw a sign board hanging on the gate of one of the house: Beware of Dogs. As the traffic stopped at that time, naturally I was looking for the dog in the compound. And that’s when I realised, there was a dog on top of the car, or more specifically, on the roof top of the car parked in the compound!

At first glance I thought it was a statue. I thought why la people put a statue on top of the car. Suddenly it moved! I tried to grab my phone camera but the traffic was already moving at that time. I turned over and saw the dog standing up, shaking his body, and I think he was going to walk down from the car – which I am not sure how! FYI it’s a normal family car, like an old Honda or something.

The size of the dog was something like Xiao Bi – OK la a bit thinner than Xiao Bi. That’s the first time in my life I hope the traffic light actually stayed red longer!!! @.@

Snatch Thieves.

A horrible incident happened in my neighbourhood just a few hours ago.

I was carrying my little niece to the door to welcome my brother (her daddy) who just came back at that time. My brother who was on his motorcycle came in and shut the auto-gate. That was when I saw two fella (I wasn’t very sure if it was two guys, or a guy and a lady at that time) wearing dark clothes stopping their motorcycle just right in front of my house, at the side of the gate. I was staring at them, wondering who they were. They stopped for only about a few seconds and left.

In less than 30 seconds, we heard a lady screaming. I thought it was the motorcyclists. I thought there was an accident. My brother looked out and this time, the lady shouted:

“They took my things!”

Only then we realised they were snatch thieves! My brother ran to the gate but they went off even faster. I think I heard one of them saying ‘bye‘ to my brother. I saw one of the family members of the lady running out of the house trying to chase them. I saw the lady went into her car again and chase them. But they were long gone. All I could recall now is that it was two men, wearing dark clothes, with dark skin tone, on a dark-coloured (or black) motorcycle.

I can’t believe that this is happening in our quiet and safe neighbourhood. I am actually starting to consider getting one of those pepper spray thingy and hang it around my neck so that I can have easy access to it. I am also thinking about keeping some heavy tools like a tongkat or some hardware tools in the car, in my room, and in each and every corner of the house so that we can easily grab something and hit that devil who decides to attack us one day. Yeah I know I sound violent but I don’t pity those who decide to turn evil.

Has anyone tried the pepper spray thingy before? Or if you have any good idea on self protection, please let me know.
