Yesterday was a Sunday and somehow an incident has provoked my thinking that I feel I should write about it.

Kakak baked some cakes yesterday. This was because; there were so many neighbours’ plates and bowls in our kitchen due to their sense of neighbourhoodness, giving us food on the Raya Haji morning. Following a simple culture of Malay that it’s not good to return people’s plates or bowls without filling them with something, Kakak decided that the easiest way out was to bake a cake.(Umi is not here to cook, and we on the other hand, feel our cooking is too ‘great’ for other people’s consumption..hihi!!!) Therefore, Kakak baked two cakes, for the neighbours and for us..hehe…

So, the baking thing only ended at night. Before Kakak went upstairs, she reminded me to put the cakes somewhere covered and safe. So I placed them on our kitchen table. But I forgot that our kitchen table is actually not safe. We don’t usually put food on the kitchen table more than an hour because ants like to climb it and have a taste of our food. I only realized this before I went to sleep.

Hurriedly, I dashed off for the kitchen but surprisingly, the cakes were still in the condition when I left them earlier. Untouched, by human or by ants. So it made me think: Maybe ants too, don’t work on Sundays?

Hihi! Just a thought from my wondering mind.

Till then.
