Entomophobia

Last night was ruff!!


I couldnt get much sleep last nite, as there was this UGLY INSECT near my bed, and i refused to enter my room. I've always made sure that my room's bugless...but, 1 managed to get in

And so, i didnt have any aerosol spary as I wasnt prepared for the situation, so I used hair spray instead, approaching in cautiously, i gave erm like 10 sprays....
Then it moved a bit, flickering its wings. The hair spray acts to hold hair by hardening, I guess its wings were hardened. So I left it for a while, hoping it would just die....

To ensure it's dead, I sprinkled some cologned on it...
Bad idea, the alcohol breaks the bonds in the hair spray, without me realizing, the Insect was slowly breaking free from its "Hydrogen Bondage".

I thought of killing it by burning it with my hairdryer on "Hot" and also the heat would enhance the strength of the bonds. Turning my hairdryer on, I found it not working! What a fuck! I used it that morning and it was hunky-dory!

Cursing, I was about to run down to the kitchen and fetch a can of aerosol, It took flight!
The moment that happened, I fell backwards in fright!
Not injured, I got up and evaded the thing zooming around my head. The mere sight of it made the hairs on my hand stand!

Then it settled down on the blinds. (Vertically positioned). I sprayed it once again with the hairspray (20 sprays this time!)

I saw it struggling, then without a sign, It fell to the floor so fast that I got another shock and jumped backwards.
It then disappeared from view. I was DEAD afraid to go look for where it had fallen. What if it got up and flew to my face?

So I decided not to sleep in my room tonight. Went downstairs to find it uncomfortable to sleep on the couch. After 1 hour, I went back up. It was still missing. I knew I had to sleep as I was very sleepy at that time. So i quickly jumped onto bed, and pulled the covers over my, and made sure no part of me was exposed to the DANGER outside the sheets.

It was very hot and uncomfortable sleeping like that, was a tad hard to breathe as well.
I knew better than to turn off the light as some time ago, A flying beetle landed on my head and clutched my hair after i turned off the lights and clambered into bed.
I left the lights on. But when I was sleepin, I pulled the covers below my head so I can breathe. and thinking that mom would lecture me for leaving the light on, I got up and turned it off.

This afternoon, I went to the store and bought a can of aerosol, meant for cockroaches rather than mosquitos. And I got my maid to give me the Zapper Racquet. I shall not and can not allow another breach.

Now as I sit here in my room and type out this story, the whereabouts of that THING is still unknown. My maid said she didnt see any insects while cleaning this morning. Odd...

I know it's in here somewhere......
It's only a matter of time before the hydrogen bonds are broken by the moist in the air. And the creature is set free. Or has it already broken? and was it just waiting for me to turn off the lights? It could be watchin me right now! Planing the night...

I have my weapons. I shall win. Tonight's a fight for territory. I, representing entomophobics and that beast representing the nematoideae.


This bug is assumed to be a bettle. I shall assume it to be an Enaphalodes sp. Family: Cerambycidae, Order: Coleoptera, Class: Insecta

the ugly side of things

well, what more can i say, i am truly a criminal to this blog since i am not updating as often as i should but assignments and other affairs can really get in the way at times.thankfully my mascot assignment is officially over and presentation was a blast also..well, that is what i think since i manage to deliver the concept of my poster n mascot the way i intended to do so. the rest is beyond my control. this semester seems rather short to me, dunno why but it felt even shorter than the other semesters. i look back once in a while and reminisce about the amazing times i had during sem 1 and 2 and come to realize tht my time is running out, leaving me along the way even faster than before. there seem to be no time for other things such as phone conversations and the occasional outings. everything is cut short now..n i realised certain things that are still lingering in my mind may never a be said if time is just slipping away from me as it is right now. though i realise that fact, i am still at a point where i prefer to let these thoughts stay to myself for the better side of things, as there are alot of things that are way out of our hands like the mouths of people.

through out the times that went away, i see the ugliness in people and begin to doubt about every single thing i believe in when in comes to the topic of dealing with people. i no longer know who i can or should trust.or i should not have trust anyone in the 1st place? does it even exist in today's context? yes ..it may be unfair to people that are really true and loyal towards you but at times ur judgement can really be affected by whatever u have gone through and the act of being slightly unfair and the whole one-sided way of thinking will surface. even though, these things may not happen to u, but seeing it frm a 3 person's point of view is rather disturbing and horrible. since time is slipping faster and faster away, i believe there is no point in dealing with such petty issues anymore, it is their mouths and wtv that comes out of it, i will no longer care as the act of feeling dissapointed over what they have said is nothing but a waste of my time.

Rip Out The Wings of a Butterfly?

It's quite amazing how nowadays people are extremely cruel to Mother Nature. A few weeks ago, I was at Mom's old shop, helping her out with some of her work stuff, In the photocopying shop next door, there was these kids (children of the owner) that was "playing" with a bunch of newly born kittens. Playing here means pulling them by their tails, covering them in boxes, throwing them as well as carrying them by their front paws.

It was a really depressing sight to see the kids enjoying what they were doing, and it was shocking to see their parents ignoring their children's evilness. I had every nerve telling me to go and fire the kids and their parents, or just call the animal shelter. But my mom told me not to as her shop was also owned by them. #_#


Anyways, she left that place eventually :P

Yesterday, as I was driving home from X-Cut, I saw these few kids around the neighbourhood, making a fire and burning leaves. As if the current haze wasn't bad enough!

I'm willing to bet my dick that they don't know the kinds of fumes released and its dangers to the respiration system.

The kids across the road, on the other hand, were throwing rubbish on the shoulder of the road, right under the "Denda Buang Sampah" sign! It's either they are stupid or blind or ignorant. My guess is all three ;)

So when they came to do it again this morning, I shouted "Oi!" and they just dropped their trash and ran back home. Mind you, they look about 13 or 14.

It's amazing how people have become so inconsiderate. A few days ago, I was watching this movie on Hallmark called Supernova. An interesting movie telling about the lives of the human race when the Sun is to undergo a Supernova (Expansion till explosion) within a few days. And how the Earth was attacked by the plasma ejected by the Corona of the Sun. The only protection that was available is the Earth itself. This just goes to show us how inspite of us mistreating the Earth, it will still offer us It's protection when we need it.


Now, I don't wanna sound like an obsessive botanist, but please people, try to do whatever u can to save our Earth. Because all organisms on Earth depend on Her ability to resist celestial attack and to correct geogolical inbalance.

my happiness or theirs?

i could no longer hold my thoughts to myself as i find it too awfully painful to not share it with every single person in this blog. the sudden urge to share my thoughts to someone was far more overpowering today as Staney...or better known as Ah Bob did not attend today's Computer Graphics class. simply because, only she knew about the way i felt about my lecturer..dearest MR FIGNON...ahahaha..okok, i must admit it is starting to sound a tad bit too dramatic and over the top..so i shall get straight to the point...

well, my com graphics lecturer will always be remembered simply because...he looks like marwick and im honestly not joking or lying about it. even a bob agreed with me about this matter on the 1st class itself after an hour or so passed by when we realised how familiar his actions were.fuh...glad that i finally let that out from my chest.

ok, enough about the lecturer. as usual, classes on monday end pretty early and thankfully i have my parents to pick me up today...well just for today since they were pretty free or else i will be stranded in the library updating this post. after much light reasoning and begging they picked me up at around 1.30ish...and boy was i surprised and taken back a little with what my mom said when i entered the car. maybe i am just too sensitive but it does mean something to her since she have said it.well, the whole convo pretty much goes like this.

mom: omg gerl! is that a boy or a girl walking out from the guard house
(points at boy with reddish-brown-coloured shoulder lenght hair with a lean figure
holding a TOTE)
me: well, obviously it is a guy, isnt it obvious to you.
mom: oh my! why do they all look like that, he is a boy. eeee just look at him! ur college have
alot of "them" hah....?
me:.......................................(looks at boy discriminated by mom and cant help but think
he is normal and looks quite attractive)

i suppose now you knw what i meant when i am taken back a little by what my mom said. my own mom had already disapprove with my taste in men and not just any men..but...men of that kind, men with more bounce when their walk, men with a great sense of fashion, men who possessed more feminine flair or what my mom would like to label these men as "THEM". well, to continue on with her question, i simply offered her my...ahem, expertise and try to sum up the type of 'THEM" available in college. thankfully she didnt questioned me about the origins of all those categories which were pretty much made up by myself due to my ahem..keen observation.

i knw is pretty mean of me to find it funny but i just cant help but visualise the expressions on my mom and dad's face when i really do( fingers-crossed)bring someone from category "THEM" home someday for a casual introduction. though this day may not come anytime soon but being such a day-dreamer, it was stuck on my mind. besides happy and funny thoughts that linger even up to this point when i am updating, i cannot help but have the awful and terrible thoughts as well. will they snap back and just shoo him out of the house? pretend to be nice and drill me later on? or will they accept my weird choice but secretly stay dissapointed and unhappy? ok...i am kinda thinking way too much and way too seriously about this already i suppose. i just hope that if this day do arrive, wtv the consequences are, i would be able to handle it like as an adult. to me, happiness is something that one only achieve with the help and existance of others...without anyone to share ur happiness with, it will seem rather meaningless.
that is why it is hella important to consider about their feelings as well besides thinking about the amount of happy spa days you would spend with your husband.it may be the 21st century now, but seeing how well ur mom n dad gets along with that special someone just seems priceless.

Analysis of a Situation

Half an hour ago, I was watching game trailers and then my maid came in to tell something to my sister, and my sis asked me to check it out, so I did. It seems that all the goldfish except 1 is dead and floating upside down in the pond. So we don't know what the cause is. 1st thing to do is to clean the pond okay. The pond had excessive seaweed growth and a horde of ants floating on top of it at one side. We took out the plants and then removed the dead godfishes and put the one that is alive in a bucket. After cleaning the pond of all the seaweed, the pond was refilled with water and then the one goldfish was put back. Now it's filling up and I have made my a conclusion about how they died.

My 1st clue is because of the excessive seaweed growth, and my 2nd clue is the condition of the dead goldfish.

My 1st clue shows excessive seaweed growth. No running natural aquatic pond would have grown such an ammount of excessive seaweed. The only way for a pond to acquire such an ammount of seaweed growth is by having no oxygen input at all and by having an organism that converts oxygen to carbon dioxide(the goldfish). Why would this happen? The conversion of carbon dioxide to oxygen by the seaweed is far too little to support the oxygen use of the 4 goldfishes. Aquatic plants thrive in carbon dioxide and that is why the growth of the seaweed accelerated so much, because they had so much carbon dioxide to absorb. Note also that seaweed absorbs carbon dioxide in the night.

My 2nd clue is the condition of the dead goldfish. I checked the gills of the dead goldfish and the colour of the gills was dirty whitish with traces of pink. Fresh fish you find in the market will have red gills. The only way for a fish to have gills that are whitish is to have been dead for a long long time or to have died because of oxygen deficiency. In this case, they have only died for a short while yet they have white gills.

The 2 resons the goldfish could have died would be either because they were overfed or because they had lack of oxygen. Everything points to the lack of oxygen. The water wasnt circulating properly, the fish had white gills and the ammount of seaweed was excessive. These all point to show that there was too much carbon dioxide in the water.

And that is another genius reasoning in the queer world of the queer you know and love, Kevin.
