Mosquitoes that Took the Lift

Malaysia is infested with mosquitoes and I hate them. I am a natural mosquito attractant. If there is a mosquito nearby, I am sure to be the one who got stung.

Mosquitoes cannot fly very high. The main reason I chose to live high up in an apartment is to get away from the mosquitoes. Apart from the fact that the view is nicer on the higher floors too.

Mosquitoes breed easily. All they need is just a little still body of clean water. Initially there is no mosquito on my floor. Either I have lousy neighbours who breed mosquitoes or the mosquitoes are smart enough to take the lift.

Green, Green Pool of Home

Just a couple of days after I blog about people swimming with full clothes on, the same pool reeks of foul smelling water. Maybe it’s because one of the swimmers got fungus on his body or clothes or the water is not treated.

Ah, the pool is always greener at home.
