An encounter with the ants

 

Aww I wonder what am I doing? Being so distracted and amused by the ants in such wee hour.

I have been really disturbed by ants crawling into my mug each morning
when I wake up. 

Natural response was to wait for them to go off..but they didn..so I began clearing it away. 

And somehow this morning, it occur to me maybe they just want to drink some water! I mean why else would ants keep crawling into my mug for. hmm..

So I did a little experiment this morning. I pour a droplet of water on my desk and see if they really come for the water. Result: Nope. I waited. But they didnt appear. 

So I dismissed it as me thinking too much. 

And giving them a drop of water doesnt help either of us.

Who knows..come night..

I was working on my stuffs at my computer with my usual mug on the table. 

Ants started queuing up again..reaching for my mug!

I didn't know what get onto me.. instead of feeling infuriated, I got really curious!

I poured another drop of water on my desk again. This time I tell myself, I shall stop looking at that drop of water. Maybe they will appear. 

And sure enough halfway through my work, I saw ants gathering at the edge of the droplet! 

So they are thirsty indeed!

hmm and I start to feel bad for clearing away some of their population! 

Maybe all they want is that drop of water! So communication is very very important!

And these ants seems to call their whole kampong of ants to come fetch water! more and more appear. 

Maybe in their world, they are thinking that finally they have found an oasis of water!

I poured another droplet and interestingly, the water formed a heart shape as it joins the first drop of water on the desk. Bird said that it's the ants telling me they love me! I never thought of that! I was thinking maybe that's my way of telling them I don't meant harm as long as they leave after finish drinking! n most of all, dont crawl into my mug! 

But I love to believe they love me! haha or rather they feel love! Because love is an amazing feeling of life and gratitude! So...... well! that's my encounter with the ants! And now Im hoping they wont come kissing me in the name of love! hahaha because they still crawled into my mug! and one actually found its way up my hand! hmmmm
