The Ups & Downs of Yeng Pooi’s Life

Eversince I’m working in the land of Never-Ending-Rain, monkeys have been a common site for me. Nothing special when I see a monkey messing around. There’s a whole bunch of them in the Lake Gardens. I never see them as threat to me until today. My friends and I were going up Maxwell Hill (one of those rare days when there’s no rain in the evening) as we usually do. When we came back down and head for the car, quite a number of them were surrounding my friend’s car. We thought we’ll just shoo them away and get up the car. But when we go nearer, 2 of them sneaked out from the bottom of the car and looked as if they wanna pounce on us. As we go back further, it came nearer to us. We felt so threatened and helpless… (3 girls only). The sky was getting darker and darker and we’re stuck outside. The guy that saw what’s happening was of no help either. ‘Tak berani,’ he said and ran off. Sigh…  In the end, we just waited across the road until we felt that it was safe again to get into the car. Wheww….
