the night that was too exhausting

yes. and it's due to one bloody cockroach.

i should have started the powerpoint presentation on research updates wayyy before (anyway, it's over and my boss is happy with tht progress). then again, i'm always procrastinating for what-not reasons =S

anyway, back to the post - it was Tuesday night i'm talking about.

I WAITED PATIENTLY (at about 130am, for almost an hour) FOR A COCKROACH TO LEAVE MY TERRITORY. -pengz-

i didn't even notice when it flies in (yes it FLIES thus the horror). if i never diligently worked till that late, i might never encounter it. (although there IS chance that i'm still awake doing brainless stuff).

it could the worst of all since a junior roach that wont fly already freak me out to the max (the geli feeling), let alone something which flies (in a super fast way), big size (about 2 inches long?), and in the disgusting brownish color.

my first instinct is to grab slipper, and head over kitchen to find pesticide spray. alas, i can't find any at home. i would call my landlady if she keeps any pesticides at home if it was not after midnight. then i decided to open up ALL the windows and door (except my room), and hopefully the roach will 'find his way out'.

so there, i waited patiently for almost an hour (from far of coz) for the roach to find his way to his territory. i'm pretty sure he doesn't mean to invade mine (*pouts) so i decide to let him live.

(alright. truth is, i don't even to go near him coz i think he will crawl to me)

i told my colleague about the incident and she thinks it's a blessing in disguise that i don't have pesticides at home, since, according to her, pesticides spray makes the insect panic and run/fly for its life (or probably 'attck' you), and in the process, i will be the one running about!


p.s: did i mention i noticed this roach has really loooooooooong antenna? i think it's more than 10cm!
p.p.s: i noticed p.s above coz there were times i feel so damn hot and sweaty that i went switch on the fan and i guess the air current got something to do with its antenna so it starts to move around a little bit -.-"
p.p.p.s: i was thinking to myself while waiting- no one could come and rob me with door and windows wide open deep at night. i will practically ask anyone who walked by to help me with the roach lor. but well, it's late at night so there isn't anyone. haiz.
p.p.p.p.s: i bath again after the roach left. felt sweaty on top of maximum level of exhaustion.
p.p.p.p.p.s: my coll was saying roaches in Aussie moves slower (not sure if they fly too). then again, i've never seen roaches in Aussie. Spider, yea.
p.p.p.p.p.p.s: last p.s -- this explains why roaches are so.. eww.
