I stopped still, and peeked over the corner carefully...
蟑螂!!!!! (cockroach, to those who failed mandarin in sec sch).I observed it for awhile to assess it's movements, and after I convinced myself that it will stay still more or less for at least 5 secs, I dashed over to arm myself with Kill Fast (a lousy NTUC housebrand of insecticide). Muz say my aim improved over the years (at least I dun zua as much as I used to).
I put the can back into it's place, and went back to the scene of the crime to watch the damn thing struggle. Wanted to make sure it's a goner, and I watched intensely, NOT sadistically. After kicking it's legs in the air furiously for sometime, I thot all movement would slow down n eventually stop. But no!! It farking flipped itself upright again! I zao buey hu to the Kill Fast... When I dashed back, it was gone!!!
Knn... Simi Kill Fast... Pui!!! Lousy housebrand!!!
I searched ard the vicinity, but could not find the darn thing. The last thing I wan is a 蟑螂 chochok-ing my Quanquan late at night. But I only scanned wif my eyes, din dare to touch anything in case it jumped out at me. Piangz.... I did the REM (rapid eye movement) the whole time I was peeing. Darn thing cannot let me pee in peace!
Recounted that a fren used to tell me: "It is 螂, u are also lang (人 in hokkien). And u r so much bigger, so scared for wat?" But juz scared can!!!
To assure myself, I concluded that it probably wanted to die in the comfort of it's hole, so it scurried back. But how it can die in comfort while being poisoned by insecticide is another long story lah, so we shall not go there.
