Funny Vs Freakish Moments

One funny incident which i want to share. One fateful day, my cousins and i decided to go for a walk around our friendly neighbourhood when we saw a frenzied dog dashing out of the gates of a house and ran quickly like a chicken which is about to face the slaughterhouse. The owner shouted its name but the dog didn't even bother to give a backward glance. It just kept dashing about like a headless chicken much to our amusement. Other dogs cooped up at homes started barking at it, obviously jealous of its new found freedom. The owner still continued to scream its name "icy" but the dog was deaf or pretended to be deaf in its ears. The three of us continued with our walk, finding the dog very amusing. My personal guess is that the dog must have felt oppressed at home and went crazy when it saw the gates open wide enough for him to fit through, it immediately seize the opportunity to escape and ignore its owner's calls. A mutinous dog...

However, it soon got to our worries. It had ran a fairly great distance away from its home. The owner had managed to get the maid to chase after the dog. The maid was lagging behind, calling "Icy" in between those huffings and puffings. Beside the dog, was a long flight of stairs. We were worried the dog would run down the stairs to the busy road and it would be mission impossible for the maid to ever succeed in getting the dog back in one piece. I nudged my sis for advice on what we should do. The dog was a Golden Retriever which is a large breed. (picture below) I didn;t have the courage to catch it even though i was fully aware that Golden Retriever belongs to a gentle breed. Guess i was intimidated by its size.

Desperate to help and prevent the dog from its further escape, i called its name "Icy". Its ears perked up and it dashed towards the three of us. My feather weighted bro dodged away while i stood rooted to the ground, don't know what to do except to cover my knees with my hands while my sis clutched onto me and screamed.
The dog's big ok.
Melancholic looking baby version... Cute!

The dog just charged towards us and his head bumped into my hands which were covering my knees and i felt moisture on the backs of my hands since the dog 'kissed them'. My cousin screamed somemore because the dog swept her with its thick furry tail. Then the dog ran past us and the maid and we don't know what happened to it after that.
In my opinion, the dog's a goondo ok. Can't it even discern a stranger's voice? Just dashed madly towards us. What if we were some heinous dog kidnappers? Ok. we didn;t look like la... But the dog really gave us a shock when it came charging towards us. All that i could think of at the back of my mind was 'golden retriever is a gentle breed, golden retriever is a gentle breed, golden retriever is a gentle breed. IT DOESN"T BITE!!'
Another goondo freakish reptile-house lizard came uninvited to my house. It was humongous OK!! As long as the plastic 15 cm ruler. And not to mention freakish looking. It came through my windows and scurried to the back of my cabinet, rendering it impossible to catch or chase away. How dare that impertinent lizard came into my room!! Lizards are disgusting. I complaint to my aunty and she said that it's not her first time the lizard came into my room. She had seen it once or twice before in my room. The freakish goondo cold blooded slimy asshole is a regular visitor of my room and i had zero idea of it. All the while i was changing in my room, who knows whether the lizard was hiding behind the cupboard, staring at me and i was blissfully unaware. Ohgodwhatthehelleatshit! What if the lizard treats my room as a public toilet and start pooping everywhere in my room or pee. Do lizards pee? Anyway, i dislike the idea of having those blackish little balls of lizard's shit lurking around in my home. Imagine i try to throw my shit at the lizard's house. They'll surely die of suffocation. I hate lizards...
In another 1 week plus time, i'll be off to Pulau NTU to face perhaps more lizards. That's when i'll truly go berserk. In the meantime, i shall be a gracious host to the lone lizard and let it poo in my room. Trying to preserve my sanity... Till then...
