Monday, January 02, 2006 : A session of Prey-Predator
YES!!! Tomorrow my dear is coming back from Singapore!!! Don't think I'll get to see her though :-( Miss her dearly!!
Well, I witnessed and was also indirectly involved in a rather interesting incident which I don't get to see everyday. As I was brushing my teeth, which had just tasted donuts a few minutes ago, i noticed a lizard, cautiously popping its head out of its "den".
I immediately stopped all movement of my hands and remained paused as I wanted to ensure the lizard that i was not going to spoil his dinner, or should i call it supper. At the same time, my pupils drifted away from the lizard and spotted an extremely small butterfly, clinging on to the wall, not far from the lizard.
My hands were already aching from holding the same position, mid-air i might add. But i was determined to let the lizard have its supper. You see, the reason why i respect the lizard so much is because it helps to kill mosquitoe's larvae for me and occasionally killing mosquitoes too. =D
After waiting for what seemed to be ages, the lizard scurried across the wall, like king kong chasing after a car but waaay quicker, and took a snap at the butterfly. Poor butterfly wasnt quick enough to dodge the attack. Although the lizard's snap wasnt enough to eat the butterfly whole, it sure took a chunk off the poor thing (butterfly).
The butterfly fell to the floor, limping like an insect that has lost its legs. After limping to nowhere, the butterfly stopped in its tracks. I was feeling pity for the butterfly as i could've stopped that incident from happening but decided to side the lizard instead.
The lizard however, scurried back into its "den" as fast as it popped out just now. I, on the other hand, continued brushing my teeth. After rinsing my mouth with water.. IT WAS SUPER MINTY, due to the fact that i was having toothpaste in my mouth for a rather long amount of time. CooL! I should do this more often.
Dammit, now im craving for donuts again.
