I. Hate. Cockroaches.

Had a random meet up with Quek, Jen and Qi this monday. Actually I wanted to go gym. BUT i realised that my keys to the gym locker is in my another bag in Jarel's house. Ughhh..

So I decided to make full use of my time to catch up with a few of them. We had RamenTen?(forgot the name of the place). Jen treated us. How sweet is she? THANKS JEN. hahaha...

After dinner we went to walk around FEP (Far East Plaza), for them to buy their stuff. Hai.. Shopping days.. I miss them, but have to save for bloody school fees.. Seemed to be always something that is stopping me from spending money. So anyway, we decided that the night is still young, so we went Indochine outside Wisma for a short drink.

Then, it happened.

Cockroaches - I wish them DEATH, I tell you, DEATH!!!

I was enjoying my pint of cold beer, chatting n laughing. And I felt something ticklish crawling on my back. I turned around, and tried to see what is it. AS I TURNED MY HEAD AROUND, that thing, THAT THING, immediately crawled down and ran back behind the sofa. Bad enough, I caught a glimpse of its brown shiny ass to let me know that it is...... a cockroach.

At that point of time, I wanted to scream, for I feel so so SO disgusted that it was ON me!! Wah lao way.. I tell you.. DEATH TO ALL COCKROACHES!!

After that, I was sitting very uncomfortably, constantly checking my back to ensure it is not back to haunt me. Check check check, den you know what? Its not behind me, IT IS IN FRONT OF ME!! BESIDE QUEK!! I WAS LIKE!! WTF WTF!!!

Quek did a 'AHHHHHHH!!' and we immediately stood up and prepare to leave. It was less den 10 inches away from her. Now to think about it, thank God it did not get onto her hair. We left the place and head home cos it was getting a little late.
Hai... So on the way back alone, the long walk back home, it seemed like all cockroach has its eyes on me.. I swear I saw at least 3 more that night, lurking in corners, in front of me, scaring me with every turn.

And den, when I thought all is safe. There's one in the lift. -______-.

There's this two other girls who SAW the cockroach in the lift. One even pointed to it, the other one just went "Eeyo.." But still go in. I seriously do not understand why they are willing to go in. So, I concluded that they are not afraid.

But the funny scene is when the lift door close.......
They started screaming and jumping like mad women!! They continued to scream and jump as the lift went up. And, seeing them go up like that, the only expression on my face is -_- Like, you are afraid of cockroaches, then why the hell you go in the lift when you see one there?!!
Do. not. understand.

Anyway, I took the other lift, scanned the whole lift up and down, make sure its safe before I head in. When I reached home, I can't tell you how relieved I was. I was like "ahhh.... Finally.. "
It was like a mini adventure.

After that night, I've been having nightmare about cockroaches. I tell you.. It is not a dream to hav. I remember when I was younger, I had this dream that there were 3 cockroaches blocking my way at the stairs, so I picked up my courage and tried scare them away by stomping my foot on the ground. It was a wrong move.
The 3 cockroaches somehow merged into 1 and became a GIANT MASSIVE COCKROACH! Like 2 times my height. (You know? Like power rangers? Like how the zords merged to become MEGAZORD? Ya.. its like that.. ) It just became DAMN BIG! I spent the rest of the dream running away from THAT cockroach. It was Cry, Scream and Run. Tiring dream. And no one was there to save me.. T_T

Now, THIS TIME. I dreamt of that bloody cockroach from Indochine. Let's call it the IndoRoach.
I dreamt that it somehow managed to climb in my bag and followed me home. And when I opened my bag in the dream, I saw it there. I just immediately closed the bag. I dunno, maybe I was trying to suffocate it and hope it'll die the next day.
BUT the 'next day' in the dream. I forgot.. Yes.. I forgot the cockroach was still in the bag.
I just took out the Lays potato chips from my bag and started eating it in my office.
After eating like the last few, I SAW THE INDOROACH IN THE POTATO CHIP BAG!! SLEEPING!! I Screamed and immediately sealed bag up and threw it in my office pantry bin.
Hai.. that was the last dream. I'm very regretful why didn't I kill it before I dump it in the bin.

Ughhh.. Even now, I can still feel the ticklish feeling at my back.. Arghh..
How do you all deal with Cockroaches? Is it possible to kill them swiftly and cleanly?

AND, As if to mock me, I read on OMGFacts today, where they talked about Cockroaches.
Do you know cockroaches are capable of living 30 days without their heads?! HOW AMAZINGLY DISGUSTING IS THAT!!
You may think you have killed them by chopping off their heads, but they'll go "HA HA HA!! I'm not dead YET! I CAN STILL SURVIVE WITHOUT A HEAD AND RUN DISGUSTINGLY AROUND IN YOUR ROOM FOR ANOTHER 30 DAYS!! WOoo!!"

Hai. Like Mohinder from 'Heroes' said,
"Man is a narcissistic species by nature. We have colonized the four corners of our tiny planet. But we are not the pinnacle of so-called evolution. That honor belongs to the lowly cockroach. Capable of living for months without food. Remaining alive headless for weeks at a time. Resistant to radiation. If God has indeed created Himself in His own image, then I submit to you that God is a cockroach. They say that man uses only a tenth of his brain power. Another percent, and we might actually be worthy of God's image... "


But one thought. Since Cockroaches are SO amazing, why aren't they shown like some superhero character? Like 'Cockroachman', or 'Master Cockroach'.
Why is there Spiderman, the ninja turtle's Rat master, Cicakman but just no cockroach?
Hmmm....
