+ Some facts abt Cockcroaches +
I'm really happie someone FINALLY used my comments thing at the bottom of my blog!! IT's QL!!! Thanz man haha. Nobody ever uses it....yeah i'm saying YOU ...YOU AND YOU..
Btw ...yicai thinks my new fringe sux.. i don think it's very nice either. DEying thinks still can. Watever it is..im not really bothered by my looks. It's ok to be ugly once in a while cos i allowed myself to b ugly.
K i 4got abt cockroaches..took mi a while to spell cockroach..i hope it's rite. Some FUN facts abt cockroaches...the reason y i bothered toking abt these God-shdn't-have-created-them creatures..I mean wat do cockroaches contribute to the ecosystem? Does their poo fertilise the soil??? Do we need them to eat up our rotten food???? They onli give pain and frustration to pple... JUZ nice..i've got a few encounters with them recently..that's y i'm toking abt them. 1 st fact, cockroaches are blind. YESH they are blind... that's y they don seemed to have a clue where they'r going most of the time..HOw do they SEE?? They've got feelers rem? they feel their way ard..eek..
2nd fact of them which was so kindly contributed by yicai is.....they are tot to be able to survive a nuclear bomb..... these creatures are nuts..
3rd fact.. they are very flexible and mobile. If u happened to step on them, u prob would realise that they could escape unharmed..eek. I' happened to watch national geographic or discovery channel once abt how american scientists are using their cochroaches (theirs are even bigger, but it's lighter brown and found in the forests...it's cleaner than ours but still it's a bloody cochroach they are disgusting) as a model case study to perfect their designs in some military vehicle they r trying to develop that are able to go fast, over uneven roads etc...so cockroaches have done their ancestry proud...wow...watever..americans...
4th fact which is pretty famous. A cockroach can survive up to 9 days without it's head........................................... they juz die of starvation......................................................................
Once i was watching this taiwanese channel ( chan er 54 i think) on SCV, and u know how Taiwanese can b quite weird... murdering their strangers, murdering their gfs juz cos they were dumped, family disputes, politicians always throwing things and verbally abusing their counterparts..oh man u have to watch one of their local news one day..it's SO HAPPENING...SO this show interviewed this guy who's in his twenties. He's got a very interesting and unusual hobby they say... he dissects cockroaches and reconstruct the body parts into some sort of different play toys...and he displays them like trophies, like things u place in ur hse to decorate ur hse..u get wat i'm saying??? he could even make the cockroach's head bob back and forth like the hand of the fortune jap cat always does...... he's definetely unusual........................
As i had mentioned, i had a few encounters with the cockroaches lately..IN MY TOILET and it's also the toilet that angel is living in.....1st encounter. I found this pathetic..really it was really quite pathetic...mutilated cockcroach near the sliding door of my toilet. It's like one side of his body aldy lost 2 legs and the other side oso lost another 1 or 2 legs and feelers broken ..u get the pic..it was crawling ard weirdly..and then it disappear into the hollow parts of the sliding door..never to find it again till weeks later i discovered the carcass on the ledge of the sliding door..i prob killed it while it was crawling there and i slid opeend the door or something...eek..
2nd encounter. Fat cockroach crawling ard in the middle of the nite in the toilet. Freaked mi out so badly i banned angel from going into the toilet. It's damn disgusting...i hate it that it's terrorising my rabbit's home. Tried getting rid of it ...but i couldn't even bring myself to go near the cockroach!!! Its damn horrible. It irks me so much juz the tot of getting closer to the fat cockroach ... and bloody hell it invaded angel's litterbox somemore..so pissed. Anyway i went for a break, i couldn't stare at this fat thing another min longer ..then i came back i couldn't find the fat cockroach anymore. I suspected it was hiding in the hollow parts of my sliding door...cos there's a gap at the lower part of the door and i kept seeing cockroach poo there...how do i know it's their poo??? cos when the mutilated cockroach was ard there was also those kind of poo at the gap there...when it died the poo stopped for a while..then the fat one came and then poo accumulated there again.. i always have this habit of trying to use the water to flush out as much poo from the hollow part as i could (but not very sucessful) whenever i washes the toilet floor. Then weeks later one fine day i washed the carcass of the fat cockroach out....eeek!!!!! my goodness..so that confirmed my suspicion that they had been living there and the little black things are their poo...
3rd scenario. This even fatter coachroach was discovered in the toilet again on friday morning. The day i had to go work. 1st reaction was always to b so freaked out that i would run out of the toilet. 2nd reaction would b to ban innocent angel from going into the toilet. 3rd would b to use my feeble attempts to get the cockroach out or down the pipe, wherever except the compounds of the toilet but it always fails. 4th would b to take a rest. 5th would b to search for it again and couldn't find it again anyway..... anyway..i was QUITE pissed off by the fatter cockcroach cos this time, i had to go work, i aint got all day to get it out. The litterbox of the rabbit was placed close to the wall...and all the cockroaches i had met so far loves to run along the walls, so i didn't wan it to get into the litterbox cos there's food there too. So i pushed the litterbox slightly away from the wall with a stick(now u know how i've been trying to get cockroaches out...with a stick!!) rem i told u how flexible cockcroaches are?? This fatter cockroach was like on the wall..and it suddenly lets of of its front legs, fell backwards and actually touched the edge of the litterbox and like some cockroach ninja it kinda kick his back legs and flipped itself totally onto the litterbox... -_- ... I got to hand it to cockroaches...like that oso can!!! wah lau..so it totally pissed mi off that i became braver, i went nearer..hitting the litterbox with my stick and chasing the cockroach out of it....and then back to the 4th reaction of leaving for a break etc...couldn't find it anywhere else later....pissed.. So worried u know..Angel has to b inside the toilet the whole day and the tot of the cockroach getting like 10 cm close to him is almost unbearable!!!
k so much for my cockroach stories...this entry muz b an entry to freak u guys out with cockroaches..haaha...now abt my work place.
The job is quite gd...pretty slack. The perm staffs are very friendly. Ard our ages too. There are like 5 temp staffs + mi and then another new gal too. Supposedly work starts at 8.45 but u onli starts to see them at 9+am.... pretty nice working environment, they really trust u to do ur work. Nobody is abusing that lar...blasting the radio etc..it's quite nice really. My job is ...very dry and boring..cos it's data after data...that's y they need temp rite...to do all this bu shi ren de gong...
k lar gtg..
cya hope u all got a new insight into cockroaches' life in my home.
