One Of My Greatest FEAR!!!!

There bound to be things that we were afraid of when we were still a kid. Like some kids may be cautious when they see a police because the parents threatened them that the police will catch them if they misbehave. Like how some kids may hide the cane before their mothers realise they did something wrong. This I might have tried before but not too sure. LOL!

I used to dread going to my aunt's place who lived in Tiong Bahru. My mother always chose to walk there. There's many Flame Of The Forest trees along the way. (Or was it something else? I was taught that's the name.) Anyway, the fruits of the tree looks like stalks of long beans or peas. The fruits dried up, turned black and fell all over the streets. I used to think they were scary because they look like snakes all over the place. Wahaha!! I took every steps with chills and shiver constantly pointed at them to my mother calling out "蛇"!! Sometimes I refused to continue walking that my mother had to carry me! Muahaha!

These kind of fears we bound to grow out of it, but there are some that will never!!! One good example is COCKROACH!!! This morning a cockroach appeared on my table out from nowhere!! Big with long feelers!! OMFG!! Disgusting!! I rushed to the kitchen and grabbed a plastic bag. Was thinking to use it as a glove to grab the roach, but I ended up keep staring at how disgusting it was especially when it twitched the feelers!! Eeeee!!! It was moving slowly, maybe cripppled or sick. Mimi spotted it and was about to jump up the table to have some fun. I chased him away in case he starts playing catching with the roach around my room. I tried to call my mum but she couldn't hear me in her sleep! Next moment the roach jumped of my table. It flapped its wings! OMFG! On the floor it was still crawling slowly keeping near to the wall. Still can't bring myself to grab it. In the end I took a glass and placed it in its path and waited for it to walk in. As it went in I covered the glass immediately. Could see it twitching its feelers and moving around inside throught the transparent glass! Argh! I swung the glass outside the kitchen window and sent it diving downstairs. Phew!! I didn't send the glass down. Soaked the glass with soap after that. If you want to know which glass in case you might come visit me at my house. It's a transparent highball glass. Hehehe...

I did quite a lot of work today, how come I just can't find anything to strike off from my to-do list? My table is tidied but not my pc desk, so it's still on the list. I did laundry but only one batch and I still got lots of it, therefore not striking it off the list. I swept and wiped my room, also the hall. I err... Nothing else.. How come not a lot to name for what I did but I really done a lot of work!! Because I sweated!! Hehe...

The new chair came! Mimi tried on it before I did. Attempted to scratch it and I went screaming at him! I didn't buy it because the back rest is unique. Can't say it's the most comfortable chair, but it offers good support for the back.

As promised, idiot brought me for shopping last night. Never really shopped at all. Too late to go shop after dinner. Ate at International Building. I've been so many times and never bother to remember the name of the place. They serve the various Shanghainese delights that I want.


This is what I call 小笼包! Oops! It's 小笼汤包! Juicy!


This is good!


This one not interesting though,

Too bad we went late and a lot of items were sold out. Zzz... Only ordered these 3 because I don't feel like taking the 炸酱面. Anybody who happens to passby there should go try. 2nd floor opposite Cocca Steamboat.

Not enough time for browsing but I still managed to buy something. Bought a bottle of perfume because my current one finished. Surprised to find that Isetan at Lido don't sell Gucci perfume! Zzz... Bought Issey Miyake instead, anyway I missed that classic scent since school days. How come It cost more than a bottle of Gucci Envy?! Topped up another $11 for a bottle of shower foam also came with many bottles of free lotion and stuffs.

Suddenly just want to pick up the habit of reading once a while. Went opposite to Borders and bought a new book by Jeffrey Archer. Then came across a set of self enriching series which I strongly recommend him to read - How To Talk To Anyone. LOL!! He really bought it and it's with me. I wonder when he can get to read it. Maybe we're gonna spend the next few months of his off days at some 24hours cafe reading books!! So cultured!! xD
