xx / xx /2006 - friday night

it was night time, after i knocked off work. was going to the comic connection near my house with my colleague to buy comics. when i reach the mrt station at home, i realize my ezlink card is almost out of credit, so i went to top up.

while i was topping up my card, i felt something on my leg. i was wearing my jeans so i can't see what is there.. but i did feel some kind of thing there.. so i tried shaking my leg n stamping on the ground to see if anything drop out. nothing came out for the first time i tried.. so i thought maybe i was my imagination so i continue topping up my card. but then... i felt something moving up my leg... so.. i tried shaking my leg again... and... a huge roach came out of my jeans...

O.O <--- that is the only expression i remembered i had... it felt really disgusting ... i hate it.. hope i wont have such experience again T_T

xx / xx / 2006 - saturday afternoon

even though i did not want any more intimate encounter with the roaches.. it happened again this day. i was getting ready to go out to go buy my anime merchandise at KKnM. i put on my shoes and out i go, happily.

while walking along to corridor to the lift, i kind of felt something in one of my shoes.... i thought maybe it was some small items or small rock or leaf or tissue, etc dropped inside so i ignored it. after getting off the lift and at the void deck of the HDB... i felt something moving from my toe area over to the side of my foot inside my shoe.. i was really puzzled with what i can be inside so i stood at one side of the road and took off my shoe. i turned the shoe upside down and shaked.

then.... a roach dropped out... =o= OMGGGGG.. i was screaming inside me.. how did tat roach get into my shoe?!?!???! when i was wearing my shoe i don't seem to see it there... orz... that is really really disgusting..... i keep having illusion that there is still something down in my shoes... that whole day *shivers*


xx/xx/ 2006 - at work

i was having stomachache so i rushed down to the 2nd level toilet. the 3rd level ladies toilet need to use keys to open and i'm lazy to go get the key so i head for the level 2 toilet.

lucky that no one is using the toilet then so i choosed the sitting 1. halfway doing my 'business'.... i was looking around the cubicle and over at the floor near the next cubicle, and i see a huge roach.... =o= there, i was sitting, staring down at the roach and the roach too, stared at me. while staring, it keep moving its feelers outwards and inwards... and then just when i was hoping it won't come near it.. it started to approach me... "CRAPPPP GET AWAY," i was screaming inside me... n moved my right leg towards the roach and stamp on the floor to try to stop it from coming near. it stopped but it didnt go away.. instead... it headed over to the sanitary pad bin and hide under there. it stayed right below the area where u step on the lever to open up the bin cover. it poked its head out from there with its feelers still moving outwards and inwards and the way i look at it, it is like... being a hentai peeping at ladies doing 'business' in the toilet... =_=xx so i named it 'hentai roach' .....

few days later, i hoped that the roach won't be there anymore so i went down the 2nd level toilet. right after i opened the toilet door... i saw the roach standing right in front of the sitting toilet. =o= i freeze there for a few seconds then i headed up to the office back at 3rd level to get the 3rd level ladies toilet key and use the toilet there instead.

up to today while i'm typing this out, it is still always lingering around the ladies toilet at the 2nd level.... and since tat day, i never went down to the 2nd level toilet again... i always use the 3rd level toilet nowadays instead coz i do not want to see it again.. HENTAI ROACH! JUST GET OUT OF THERE WILL U?!??!?! >.<


3/1/2007 - in office

first day of work and i have lots of visitors on my desk! ROACHES!!! ARGHHHH where the hell did they come from??? T^T the small baby nymphs, i know there are a few out in the office starting from last year.. but then.. this one is really hugeeeeee.... *shives* so digusting!! it was crawling around my table and it dropped on top of my bag (which i always place below the desk) YUCKKSSSS MY BAGGGG sob.. orz

we tried to hit it but before we can do that, it crawled into the bottom of the computer table. at my area, 4 computer tables are joined together (2 facing 2 opp) so it is impossible for us to go pull the tables away to hit the nymph... = =;; i hoped it wont appear again (for now it din appear again.. i wonder whether the one my lady boss killed some time after was the same nymph or not? but according to those sitting beside me n opp me.. the size is not the same... ) i didnt dare put my bag below the desk again ~_~;;; n i'm still in fear of seeing the huge nymph again


next, the lizard...

30/12/2006 - afternoon

the last saturday of the year. was eating lunch with my mum and brother at home. supposedly, there was a half price sale down at KKnM that day and on the following sunday, but since i always buy the things i wanted at every release, and i did not get to meet up with wingede, i decided not to go down at all...

while eating my lunch halfway, my brother had already finished his and he went to the fridge to get a can of JJ herbal tea. when i was almost done with my food, i heard him give out a shock cry and his whole body almost jumped out of his chair... i was wondering what the commotion is about and he pointed at the lizard on the table....

you may be thinking... what is sooooo scary about the lizard??? u always get to see one or two around the house or at any building right??? then... u are wrong. the lizard did not drop down from the ceiling or crawled up onto the table. it was from INSIDE the can of JJ herbal tea. =o= shocking isn't it????? OMGGG.... 1 whole lizard (about 3-4 cm long) inside the can drink!!!! SOOO GROSSS AND DISGUSTING!!! i pity my brother .... sob sob... that is one incident i will never want to happen to me... T_T

my mum told him to eat some brown suger to "neutralize the poison" from the lizard. in the chinese custom, it was said that lizards are posionous (in a certain way, don't ask me i'm not sure too) so you have to eat something to neutralize the posion... my mum said eat some eh.. (sorry i'm not sure the eng name.. but in chinese my mum say it's "huang tan" = literally translate is yellow sugar.. but i suppose it should be brown sugar.. right? o.o;;;; )

my brother later told me luckily he never swallowed the lizard down. he thought it was chin chow.... swt... but on 2nd thought he decided to spit it out.. (lucky him and thank god, if not we will not know there is a lizard in the JJ herbal tea)... i wanted to lodge a complain to the company that made the herbal tea because this is really something that shouldn't be tolerated, but my mum being too kind-hearted said such tings can't be prevented and said let's just leave it like this and went to throw the lizard away. but i hoped that at least she let me take some photos of the lizard and complain to the company so they will take note not to make such mistake again... if not one complain about it.. i don't think they will even notice such matters... when there is no complain, how can there be improvements, right? but anyhow.. the evidence is gone, i can't do anything now... ~_~;;

after this day, my whole family dare not drink all the rest of the JJ herbal tea that we bought.. so we threw it away (and we bought like 24 cans ... all wasted.. sob.. ). my father, while at work, saw his colleague bought a can of JJ herbal tea and he told him this story. my father said his colleague almost spitted out the drink and said, "wah liew, should tell me earlier mah... don't wait until i drink up to half-way then tell me.. tell me when i was buying so i won't buy it!" ... ( LOL .... everyone is afraid of drinking JJ herbal tea now..?! lol)
