Sometimes I would see small furry things scurrying around in the park vicinity or at the places we walk in around town. I get kinda irritated because I'm used to seeing such things as rats. But over here, things are greatly different. Those critters are not annoying rats, but squrriels or even cuter, chipmunks. Never did I once see a rat or mouse snoop for food. Us Singaporeans, especially the girls, well, many times only the girls, gush when a squrriel or chipmunk is seen.
I remember one chipmunk got trapped in a pipe hole behind Rugrats Toonpike (a road safety kinda ride for the kids). We tried to get it out by using wood or sticks and getting it to climb onto it, but it always slipped on the wood (cause it was too smooth) and it would let go when we tried to lift the stick. Then it started to rain. Cynthia, Dawn and I decided to just throw in a few sticks to make a ladder for the little critter, and left the rest to him. Thank goodness it was gone when we returned a few hours later. By then the rain had stopped.
