It was a warm and quiet Sunday afternoon. Ping was watching 微笑Pasta with mum and ahdik in the living room when we heard daddy said, "nah, nah, nah, lu eh peng you lai liow" (You friend is here). Staying at Sungai Emas, where our house is facing the hills and it is less than a mile away from the deep forest, it is no surprise that we get 4-legged visitors once in a while so they have become our 'friends'. Wanting to see who it is this time, we paused the show and went to the glass door. The moment Ping saw how big it is, Ping grabbed her camera and shot a video of it! It is a huge monitor lizard (巨蜥) Definitely the biggest one Ping have ever seen! A very brave one too...hence, Ping named it Leo! Just the day before we saw Leo, a smaller one had come by but the moment we opened the glass door, it ran away. Leo on the other hand, wasn't going to have his afternoon walk be bothered by some human who has nothing better to do other than to look at him (actually, how do we tell their gender? or do they have one?). The poor thing must have had its tail bitten by dogs or some other animals. It came knocking on the glass door and pose for ahdik to take its photo too! It finally did ran away when we went out and dad shooed it away.
