The Rat Mystery Files (i)

indication of first appearance made: around last week 24th july (can't remember), the first huge dropping which i mistook to be a dead bug near my wardrobe in the study room.
supporting witness: my brother claims that he saw a rat scooting around, but made no attempts to capture it (was going to school, so in a hurry)

so from then on, the droppings became an indication of the Rat's whereabouts...

subsequent sightings of droppings: near the computer table, behind the pushable cabinets (all in the study room)

on the 31st july: droppings found in the bathroom and near corridors between main bedroom and study room. squeaks heard in my study room while i was home alone!! O_o`
movement to capture rat: a trap with dangling pieces of gardenia's softmeal bread as bait
on the 1st august: awoke at around 1245am and found that the bathroom has fresh droppings and a pool of urine (-_-`) *yucks and ewww* in the same corner near the toilet bowl (well, at least it has etiquettes and peed in the bathroom instead of our study room). trap moved from near bathroom to front of kitchen.
i heard a squeak in the living room and dashed back into my bedroom (forgot to close my study room's door). guess the rat has scrambled back to its sleeping area. further soft squeaks heard while in my bedroom.

...to be continued...
