Demise of a miserable vermin (part 1)

Dear readers,

I imagine as you read the title of this entry, your eyes might have grown wider and your mind possibly conjured up images of kiasu colleagues, demanding bosses, the ticket lady at the train station with the constant PMS, the grouchy cab driver or even your neighbour’s aggressive Chihuahua.

Please be warned that things are not as they seem.

The miserable vermin that I speak of here is a cockroach. And yes, you might say, “But my boss is a cockroach!” and I am sure you have your reasons for such strong convictions. But nevertheless, I mean the creature with the six insecticide legs, the creepy glare and the dirty shade of dark brown plastic skin.

My cousins and I have occasionally seen this particular pest strolling about on our kitchen counter. One cousin (Rina) even had the misfortune of seeing him do the backstroke in her cup of milo. I thought it was hilarious until of course, I caught him snacking on my sandwich. Nobody messes with my triple deck smoked chicken and cheese sandwich. This was WAR!!!

So I laid a trap for our little ‘friend’ and used some soft chocolate chip cookie as bait. For 3 days, he made no appearance. In fact two poor lizards got trapped and died instead. Only after I disposed of the trap, did he make his presence known again, gallivanting on the kitchen counters. That was the last straw! Time for Plan B: Extermination.

I enlisted another cousin’s (Ashi) help and we came up with the notice below. It has now turned personal and we needed all the support we could get!

A Day At The Fish Spa

Dear readers, No doubt, you would have heard tons of fascinating things about the new craze in town: the fish spa. What you are going to find out in the next few minutes would probably change your perspective of this new and trendy relaxation method. Well, it sure freaked me out. It was a typical Sunday evening, when one of my cousins suggested that we try something different for a change rather than just bumming around and watching You Tube like a bunch of Internet junkies. She heard from her friend's cousin's friend's boyfriend's sister that there is a newly opened fish spa near our apartment. She even got a coupon for a 15 minute free session, which fitted very well into our budget. So, we decided to give it a try. The location of the shop was pretty shady but the proprietor (Miss R) seemed friendly enough. She was actually inspired to start the fish spa after watching some loc als in the jungles of the Amazon perform their yearly ritual to appease the pagan river g...

Dear readers, If you have tasted the mango yoghurt ice cream in Mango Mania and thought it was good, well, I have news for you: go out and explore dude! Yes, there is a better one. Where? Lecka leckha of course! Price: only RM6.90. It taste like real mango and I am not freaking kidding or exaggerating. They probably took a mango, pureed it and then froze it. Simply awesome! :D Their sorbet comes in a variety of flavor, some yummy ones being passion fruit, watermelon, strawberry, lime and of course mango. They also have other sinful flavors like oreos, cookies n’ cream … well you get the drift.

Dear readers, I must beg your pardon. This might be a sight of me that you have never seen. I was taken by a whim. Yes, I was overwhelmed by a sudden urge to draw that I offered to help my cousin design a birthday card for her friend. FOR FREE!! I must have been struck with temporary insanity. Front Inside Ah boy, I sure miss drawing! But I need a project ... hmmm ...
