as we climbed down e stairs to e ground floor of e Old Admin block, this fella & my sis gave each other a big fat shock when she almost stepped on it:
a tiny little skink on e edge of a staircase step. e last time I'd seen a skink in NUS was when one dashed from e road, across my path on e pavement & into e grass verge one rainy night. e biggest fattest giant I saw was on a rock at Ton Sai waterfall in Phuket - e body was as thick as my wrist & e snout-vent length was longer than my forearm.
