Bullied by Spidys and Xiao Qiangs

I was abt to drag my ass for a bath after much niaming from my mum for hovering ard the fishtank right after I came home. Closed the door, horrors of horrors, the stupid spidy came into my view. If it was a normal small little teenie weenie spidy I wun even bother. This was.. huge. Stupidly freakingly huge. The body's abt the size of a ping pong ball, go imagine how thick the legs r.

Being the "cold" person I am, I din go EEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK at the risk of my lungs. I actually even contemplated of ignoring it n do my bathing as fast as possible but it was.. TOO HUGE TO IGNORE!

I turned the knob, trying to escape the little enclosed space with a spider. *Trok* Knob turns, door opens a crack, spider jerks, I retreated 2 steps. Spider moves, squeezing thru the top of the door. I waited, open the door wider, spidy moves back inside the bathroom thru the top. I squeezed myself out.

Then I went... MAAAAMMMIIIIIIII~~~~~~~ BIG BIG SPIDER~~~

Mum came after a while, is really A WHILE, thinking wat her daughter saw tis time. I fixed my eyes at the door all this time, in case the spider ran somewhere else. Mum went into the bathroom without any defensive artillery, swing the door to look behind the door, and came into eye contact with her target.

Being the kampong girl she was, she calmly told my bro to pass her the prong (dunno wat la, looks like the Zeco in MS, for holding the dry clothes bamboo stick one..). 2 sec later, she emerged with prong holding out, spidy crawling at the front of the prong. Out the window it went, with me praying that no one is walking pass downstairs. How wld u like a huge spidy to fall onto ur head??

N now as I'm typing this, I'm turning my head EVERY 3 sec to glance at the cupboard behind me. Reason being....

THERE'S A COCKROACH BEHIND THERE!! FLYING COCKROACH!!

There goes all my plans to do the wrapping of presents for the SPD kids. I had initially laid out all the presents, mix/match/grouped them, and out peeps a cockroach. Within an hour of the spider ordeal.

Cockroach's abt the size of a large pental eraser. Slightly larger I'll say.

DAMN FREAK. IT CAME OUT AGAIN!! Type halfway see black shadow on my table, look up, cockroach.

*continued post 7 December morning*

Ok, I waged a war with the cockroach till 2.25am. Very tiring. At least if its hiding and NOT COMING OUT EVERY 10min (frequency increased) I still ok la. The big black FLYING monster is mischievous enuff to peep his head out every 10 min from its hiding place and do acrobatic stunts on top of my cupboard. Damn it. When it finally flew to the curtains and got trapped in the folds. By that time my back was already killing me. Off lights, climbed into bed, hid under my blankets, shining torchlight on the curtain every few min, like police doing inspection.

Then I saw it. Something black at the top of the curtain. I hesitated climbing outta bed. It then starts moving along the wall. Cannot tahan liao. I jumped outta bed, flicked on the lights and stared at it, trying to see where it went.

It took a tour to near my table, then back along the windows, curtains, n to my paper bag area. I packed my pillows and stuff and prepared to sleep in the living room. My bro walked passed and asked me wat I'm doing outside. Evading flying cockroaches.

After putting his plate of dunno wat in the sink. I showed him where the cockroach was. NO HE NVR HELP ME CATCH!! We visually searched the area and found the cockroach on its way outta window. So we stood there n waited while it make its way slowly out, my bro closing the other window pane.

The moment it went out, my bro slammed the windows shut n went back his room to close his windows in case it flew back in. So end of the ordeal, I had to sleep with my windows fully shut, door closed. Stuffy but at least can sleep in peace.

My mum actually FAILED to catch the cockroach MORE THAN 5 TIMES!

What a nite of un-needed excitement. Resulting in me having to wrap the presents in office AND do my untouched Socius assignment. GRR!
