Have you ever hold a snake? I just did yesterday.

I was out for lunch with my brother and Mom at Cabe Rawit Dago, where Andri was supposed to meet Cheryl for some job interview. I also had my cousin Hizkia came to the café, so we were there for about 4 hours.

At 5 p.m. Ben dropped us home because he was going out again by car, but Mom stopped at Tante Otty's house to chat with her, and out of the plan, I waved at our neighbor's on the way home and had their youngest child ran to me and hugged me as I got off the car.


So I walked to their house and greet the rest of the family, who invited me over to have some chat at their backyard. They first introduced me to the seven snakes they got, not included the super big one (with diameter is bigger than my thighs) named Chivas that was inside of the house.

All the eight pairs were named randomly, from Chivas-Baileys, some Russian name like Nikita (and I forgot the male one), Kiclik and Kucluk, and the smallest ones were Slamet and Surti. I guess this is the fun part of having children at home. You gotta stay creative and entertaining.


The three kids were playing around with the scooter rider and halloween mask while the parents poured me the 'green tea' of the husband's mix of Bailey's, Tia Maria, Bols green peppermint, milk and Grey Goose (damn it was good!) while discussing Astrology and Psychology. I am surely so lucky to have such a kind and fun neighbor like they are ;)
