The termites and me

Thanks for your comments and advice for my previous post. I feel so touched that you guys cared.

Sometimes I amazed myself at the things that I did or didn't do. Now that I look back at the things that I actually did, for e.g., the termite incident, I really don't know where I get the energy or the strength from when I was cleaning up the mess. But I guess when you are hit hard by luck, fate, people and environment, you will not hesitate to do the ultimate unthinkable thing to survive. It's a basic instinct for all living things.

I've done some research on the termites. Every house in Malaysia has the potential to become infested. Just like mine. The termites burrowed deep in the soil. When there is an opportunity for them to unleash their fury, i.e., when their habitat is disturbed due to land development or various means, they will of course sink their teeth into our homes. Just to survive.

Mom and dad are going to try a method recommended by their good friend whose house was infested by the termites once, which is to concoct a solution (termite killer + soil poison) to spray around the house and at the infested area. In the mean time, to be on the safe side, we'll contact the pest control to do an inspection at our place too. So chill people. Everything will be taken care of. :)

Mom said to me, "Lucky you were at home that time. If it was me, I wouldn't be able to do what you did." Her words made me wondered the what-ifs and what-nots. The happened and the yet-to-happen. I might not have a religion of my own but I do believe that The One Above has already set out a path for each of us to walk. Maybe He wants my 'being here' is to be a present to my family.

Or maybe, I think too much already. Heh. ;)

Yeah, I admit that I'm feeling extremely emotional right now. I feel like I'm standing in front of a non-functioning traffics light junction. Looking at the messy traffics, not knowing how to cross the road and not knowing when all this unpleasantness will pass. I cannot stop too long nor can I walk too fast. Either way, I'm stuck. The future seems bleak and the past is a blast. I only have present to hold but it looks very fragile to me. It can be gone in a blink of an eye. A present will inevitably become a past.

My fate will be decided soon. I hope it will go well. Have a nice weekend peepz, bye!

P/S: I like this picture taken by Angel. I look so happy in it.
