Lifestyles Ideas Management - What a shock!

I remembered the birds in the air forever.
Once after walking out from the MRT (subway) early in the morning without breakfast and felt very hungry. No food and drinks is allowed while traveling in the MRT (subway). The minute I was out of the station, I pulled out a curry puff (deep fried pastry filled with sardines or curried potatoes) and took my first bite while walking toward the direction. All of the sudden my curry puff left my hand, I stopped and looked around me, then on the floor and wondering where goes my curry puff. I covered my mouth and thought for awhile, these actions took about a few seconds. Then looking up I saw a black big crow flew away with the half the curry puff hanging at its claws. What a fright of my life! I looked at the flying crow until it disappeared to a small dot. Can you imagine the sharp vision of this crow that can spot my curry puff from the sky and took its flight down to claw away from my hand. What if this black bird was a myopic and instead of clawing away my puff and some flesh from my mouth. How ugly will I be! And how can I explained to the doctor what has happened. Nobody will believe what has happened if some part of the flesh is ripped off by the black crow. What a narrow escape!

In another occasion while walking home, some thing flopped over my shoulder bag. My first reaction was looked back to see what was that sound. I looked into my shoulder bag and thought perhaps someone threw something inside. Then I noticed a transparent slimy liquid on the side of the bag and realized that it was bird’s shit. One bird flew over my head and shit from high and landed over my shoulder and spilled over my bag. What bird that can do such a thing to shit and fly at the same time.

Once a friend told me this story, while reading in the library with the overhead ceiling fan blowing, a bird flew in. “Flop” the bird shit over his head. At that time I find it hard to believe but not anymore after the above two incidents.
The birds, monkeys, street cats and stray dogs are getting very ferocious as if we have already violate their habitat by clearing more jungles and forests for our home that leave these no place for their food portion.
