Ikan bilis di bukit.

Adikku memang kelakar. He doesn't even know what ikan bilis is in English. I kept telling him "it's anchovy...anchovy!" but he just cant register it in his mind. He mixes up anchovy with centipede. How is that possible? How can anyone mistake an ikan bilis for a lipan?
Anyway, yesterday all of us went to Bukit Larut for the usual 6km walk (3km naik, 3km turun) which is becoming a weekly event for the family.
On the way down the hill he spotted a giant anchovy!
Hahahaha.

This was the creature in discussion.

"Besar btol ikan bilis ko nih mad," sarcasm is one of the things i'm good at.

"Yela yela. Centipede!!" there's no point of arguing.

My mom started to worry because amad was going to touch the poisonous arthropod he called anchovy.

"Amad, jangan pegang!!" she shouted from afar.

But too late. His hand was already at the surface of the creature's exoskeleton and in a flash.........

The lipan curled! But wait, lipan doesn't curl.

So in the end both of us were wrong. It was neither anchovy nor centipede...it was a millipede!
