Living in a kampung is full of adventures and misadventures too. Kampung life is the best for me and I love it to bits and would never trade it for anything else. Can't imagine myself living in a concrete jungle.. ayoo... don't think so I can survive.
Part and parcel of living near a 'jungle' is the frequent visits by our uninvited 'guests'. They come unannounced but we're used to having them around, though at times they do give us the shivers...
The biawak or monitor lizard is one of our very regular visitors.
They come all the time. Kadang2 masuk rumah lagi.
They can be quite aggressive, it's best to leave them alone.
But they're easily spooked. So bila kita shoo2 dia, dia larilah.
The owl or burung hantu. Check out the eyes!
This is one of my favorite animals.
But they don't come much now
because we don't have chickens anymore.
This tortoise or kura-kura came after a rainy day.
It's such a fascinating animal.
It hides its head and limbs as soon as it senses danger.
'Danger' here comes in a form of me and me cats.. hehe..
The 'mean' homosapien turns the tortoise around (turn turtle?)
to check out its belly. Fascinating, eh? The tummy is closed shut
and you can't even see where the limbs and head go.
Totally amazing. Subhanallah.
Me cat is as curious as me... ahaks!
This is another regular visitor.
They come alllllll the time. Every day, in fact.
This one even comes into the house and is actually checking on me.
Our ceiling kopak sebab kucing berkelahi atas tu.
Tu yang berlubang tu when both cats came crashing down.
So this monkey always spies on me when I'm busy on the FB. :))
We have plenty of birds too. All types
but it's not easy to capture them on camera.
And I don't have an SLR, so this is all I can get.
A cute yellow bird.
At times we're lucky and get to see their nests and eggs.
Totally marvelous. Check out the intricacies of their nests.
Don't worry, guys...we do not take the eggs or mess their nests.
We just take pics and marvel at Allah's creations.
A huge and beautiful butterfly.
One of its wings is damaged. Poor thing.
Tupai aka squirrel. Yang ini pun memang ramai kat rumah.
This baby one was caught by our cat and we're on a rescue mission.
It's actually such a cute and cuddly animal.
My son releasing the baby squirrel.
Be safe now, little squirrel....
These are not actually the wild and the ferocious
but they are part of the animals that roam my house =))
Mother hen and her cute little chickies...
Mother hen and her cute little chickies...
One chick on her back..
Two chicks now...
And three!!!
They ain't heavy, they're my babies!!
But this one is sure wild and scary.
The slithering kind pun selalu datang jugak.. huhu..
This one was found slithering around in our banana trees.
And later tried to swallow a froggie, leg first.
Babi hutan @ wild boar. Among the animals,
I guess these are the fiercest, scariest and wildest of all.
They come often too and we keep out of their way.
They can run very fast, so better don't mess around with them.

Well, that's how interesting kampung life is. Everyday one discovers new things and it's always an adventure. Thanking Allah for my kampung life and all that comes with it. Alhamdulillah. :)))
