SIBLINGS 53: HORNET'S NEST

The supposed hornet nest was indeed a water sponge

While waiting Ezman to fetch us for our visit to Bang Mansur at the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital on Monday 2.11.2009, Zam subconsciously looked up at our pine tree and she was very surprised to see an hornet nest perched on the tree branch. When she told Marini about the hornet nest, Marini told her not to destroy the nest as it would bring good fortune to the owner. I let Zam and Marini enjoyed their fantasy for a while because if you look properly, you would find that it was not an hornet nest but a water sponge which looked like a an hornet nest. May be a squirrel might have brought the sponge up the tree.

Lately, Zam has experienced a lot of blurly vision. In the Grand Con Hotel in Langkawi, while we were in the lift, confidently she has pressed on the signage word close instead on the actual close button below. Marini was laughing away when Zam was waiting patiently for the lift door to close with her fingers frimly on the word close. She also pressed her finger at the signage light instead on the actual button when we wanted to enter the lift itself.

Zam laid the blame entirely on me since for a long time I have not brought her to spend our leisure time at any hotel. May be she was right because she was out of practice.
