Though the side door was open so I guess his crimes were only of robbery and attempted assault.
So he came in and ate a basketful of bananas, the whole loaf of Gardenia bread and left overs from yesterday. After he's done with his thing, he sat down by the sink, chilling out, maybe trying to wash his hands or something, where he scared the crap out of my maid who walked in with a handful of plates.
My Mom, of course, freaked out, but then she forgot all about it 10 minutes later when she found out I woke up at 3 today and freaked out over that instead.
My maid said that a few days ago, a monkey (the same one? perhaps) broke into a neighbour's house and stole Gardenia bread too.
I probably should mention that my house is right next to a hill forest, a real one, so sightings of monkeys and wild pigs are not unusual though it is uncommon.
Lately though it's becoming a regular incident since the Sultan is building his castle on the hill. I assume food supply became scarce and the monkeys had to resort to breaking and entering houses for food. Not to mention, the view of the hill from my room is forever ruined by this ugly, bald, treeless spot where they bring the big noisy machines up and down the hill.
Personally, I hate it, but who cares about me? We're talking about a monkey espionage with a particular fondness of Gardenia here.
Anyway, there you go. I just thought it's worth sharing.
Hey, here I am obsessed with an Arctic Monkey (Alex Turner) and a monkey comes in my house; I think He's trying to be funny.

Did you know the 'word verification' step that comes before you can submit a comment that some (like me) find annoying actually prevents comment spamming? Because I didn't. I was completely ignorant of this information until just now. Apparently you have to be human to be able to pass this step, so automatic softwares can't add comments on your blog
See Mom, who said today was completely pointless?
