i arrived suuuuuuper late at work today at 11am.
i had a mini battle with ants. 'coz they invade my breakfast!

yes. my current place are heavily infested with ants. according to my observation, there are mainly 2 species (or subspecies?) that are currently co-reside with the 6 homo sapiens.
both types are small. brownish red. no, not the kind we usually known as red ants with their deadly bite. but yes, both types DO bite. *ooouch*
and they colonize everywhere - from the common places like kitchen to dining hall to living room to bedroom (i sprayed unwanted perfume in my bedroom coz i read somewhere that perfume prevent ants), and lastly, the bathroom.
yes, BATHROOM. they ain't scared of water after all i guess. how superb they can be!

kjfivj* was suggesting that i should with housemate to recruit pest buster so as to get rid of them. but i guess even if we hire one and the pest buster DO manage to get rid of all of them (which is unlikely), ants will still come back since we have people with bad habits like leaving their food overnight uncovered/unkept, don't bother to clean up after eating/cooking, improper food storage etc.

i shall just do my part (of cleaning) and only will strike back if those ants invade. *grrrrr*

i was a nyctophobia according to FB! (which i think is quite true in some extent. but i do appreciate darkness of certain degree when i sleep).

Fear of the dark also known as Nyctophobia is common among young children who often fear that something catastrophic may happen to them in the night. In the darkness, we can't see very well, and for a young child, particularly one with a healthy imagination, this can be very frightening. A pervading sense can build that something sinister is just out of sight and arm's reach waiting for its moment to strike. Some adults can suffer from this fear - particularly those who suffer from nightmares or have traumatic memories. Although gradual exposure to darkness can be helpful to nyctophobics, the management of nightmares and bad memories is liable to require specialist help.

hmm, somewhat it coincides with something that have been in my mind lately.
