A Rat!

Yesterday, while I was burning the joss paper as usual, I saw a rat! Now, I know that there are sometimes rats at the ground floor, occasionally out for a breather from the drains, but I certainly wasn't expecting them on the fifth floor. Did they take the lift?

Anyway, that rat scared the hell out of me. I think I probably scared the hell out of it too. Dad tried to catch it, but it ran into our neighbour's pots of plants and we lost it. I suspect that as of now the rat is still hiding there, which is quite scary as it means that our path may cross again. For now I just have to be alert so as not to be surprise again. lol.
