An Unwelcome Visitor


It is dawn and most of the people will be in their own world of wonderland now. I could be still staying awake now, but I'm not because of vigorous sports activities and also energy consuming job on the day before were done together. Thank god I didn't stay awake because the SNAKE had just landed ground on this house. Or not I will be at the main hall playing with my laptop and who knows, might be twined to death. I don't know when the snake sneaked in and from where it is able to intrude.

I was still sleeping in my room but rendered awake because the noise caused by my parents. It seems to be something bad happening and so I asked. Well, well we seems to have a visitor, a Python. This is the second time a snake has ever came to our house. For goodness sake, why must be our house?? There are so many houses which they can choose to enter but they still pinpoint our coordinate. I wonder what is so nice and attractive about our house. It is in the bathroom, finding a way out. Unfortunately the holes towards the drain is closed haha =) My dad shutted the bathroom door to prevent it from going out and even place the gunny sack at every possible space that the snake will be able to sneak out. Meanwhile, my mom called the firebrigade to assist us in catching the snake. My mum waited for the firebrigade to arrive and my dad and I became a bathroom guard to prevent the snake from going out. We waited for 10 minutes and they still havent arrive. Oh my god!! The snake is going to escape if you guyz take too long.

In the process of waiting, we heard several noises in the bathroom. It must be the snake trying to climb the wall to escape. Not long before they arrive, the snake is able to sneak out from the bathroom from a tiny little space between the door and the floor and it headed for the cupboard, which is about 10 meters away from the bathroom. I thought there is a gunny sack there to completely shut up the space, however its slicky little body is able to go through the space. Its body is very slim, which means that there is no prey for him to feed on for a while. The snake entered the hole but the tail is still tugged out on the surface under the cupboard which leads to the drain. Before the snake completely entered the hole, luckily the firebrigade arrive just in time and somehow manage to pull the snake out of hole. They caught its neck and gently put it in the gunny sack. Any delayed action will render us to lose track of the snake. That's it, the firebrigade save the day.

This is an exciting yet intimidating experience to remember and I hope there is no next time for this incident to occur. If not I will not be able to stay put late at night and I need to shift my laptop to my room as a safety precaution T.T
