We were having breakfast at our usual spot (next to the funeral parlour - this time it was occupied) when we noticed a lizard near our feet. It wasn't moving and when I had a closer look at its tiny, frail and liveless body, it looked dead.

I wanted to make sure that it was completely kapoot so I stamped my feet next to him to wake it up. No movement from the tiny lizard. Confirmed - dead. As we continued with our nasi lemak, the lizard suddenly came to life and moved closer to us. Oh.. so he was just playing dead! Naughty!

I stamped my feet, this time closer to its body but the lizard didn't scurry off. Usually lizards, at close proximity with humans, would just run away in the hurry to avoid any contact with us. However, this brave li'l thing just stayed stagnant as if to proclaim, "this space is mine!". I continued to place my feet next to it... I don't know why, maybe to intimidate the tiny creature. LOL.
