There's a mouse in the house, I am quite sure. I found scrapes of potatoes in the basket and under the fridge. Yesterday morning I found my kids' doughnuts were partially eaten and the teeth-marks were unmistakenably one of a mouse. And last night he/she started nibbling on my kids formula plastic-cap and the food container. Thank God it wasn't Tupperware. We set up a trap only to find he/she carried it under the fridge and ate kakak's cheese which we set as bait and left the trap as it was. Maybe he/she is still small and tiny or he/she is one genius mouse who studied the engineering of a mouse trap or maybe he/she is one wise mouse that knows how to eat without being trapped. Maybe it's a work-group, who knows! Help me. I need it to get the h*** out of my house before I need to replace all the Tupperware covers (I learned this from my experience few years back – semua yang kena gigit was TUPPERWARE. Yang takde cap ni, dia tak gigit!).

Anyway, my parents are at my house now, looking after the kids (while being tortured into watching cartoon most of the time and 'let's learn german' by Iman who, he alone, speaks the language). Tonight, depending on today's workload and the time we leave office and the wheather, we'll be sending them back to kampung for a week or two. Yes, it is due to the haze, but partially. We (mdh and I) are going places. Materialising our looooooonnnnngggggggggggg overdue honeymoon. Kakak is well informed of the whole event except we kept the 'holiday' and 'honeymoon' part secret and replaced the words with 'work'. Iman, the German speaking boy, as he's barely 2, is not aware of the fact he'll be left under the care of atok and wan.

Let's just hope everthing will go on well. The itinerary has been set-up, the kids are well, their grannies are coping, their things are almost all packed-up. And the mouse, pse pray for its capture.
