A Small Adventure!

I had a shock when I saw a little bird in my kitchen this morning! It stood there motionless for some time, so did I! LOL! At first I thought it's injured or dead, but when I used a "teck goh" (bamboo stick) to touch the bird, it flew around my kitchen. I had a fright! At that point of time, I didn't know what to do because Gareth was crying away (he's sleepy) and I couldn't chase the bird out. Neither could I use insecticide, and if I were to call KengYong, I doubt he'd return home immediately to help me. It flew round the kitchen till I couldn't locate it at all. So in the end, I decided to put Gareth to sleep first. I knew the bird is still somewhere around the kitchen because I could hear it chirping away. After Gareth napped, I armed myself with two "teck gohs" this time and tiptoed into the kitchen. Eventually I found the bird on my stove hood. When it realized that I knew its whereabouts, it slipped down from the hood and finally, with my "er mei strokes with the two teck gohs", the bird made its way out of the kitchen window. I felt so proud that it left my house with no injuries. But sigh, it has poo-ed on some of my utensils! =(
