Near death experience

Well, I bet you were expecting something more horrifying, but well, live with me and my dramatic self for a moment will ya?

I had a near death experience with cockroaches.

(laughs) I know you're laughing. So I'm laughing along... Hehe...

Anyway, no, I'm not exactly afraid of cockroaches. It's my younger sis. She's the scaredy cat. Nope, not me.

Yesterday night, we got hungry, and coz parents were already sleeping(it was 11 something) we couldn't ask them to go buy FOOD! *drools*
SO, we went downstairs to the kitchen... My sis was suggesting I fry some egg.. I was thinking, okay.. Why not! and when I switched on the lights, we saw 2 HUGE cockroaches.

I felt pretty normal seeing them, just a little disgusted maybe and wanted them to DIE. DIE!!! My sis ran away... See, I told you she's a scaredy cat.. I had nothing to smash them with, so I was in a dilemma. There was NO WAY I was going to smash them with my leg, EWW!! so I started thinking.. Then, a fabulous idea popped into my head...

Newspaper!

I would have used OLD newspaper, but the stupid cockroaches were blocking the way. They stare at me and were screaming: "Cross at your own risk! I DARE YOU..."
Stupid cockroaches... They didn't know what they were facing...

So, we(I forced my sis to help, at one point of your life, you HAVE to face your fears!!) went around looking for the newspaper, hoping it wasn't in my parents room...
In the end, found it and took out the Classified section.
"You want the classified?" my sis asked me, confused...(aww...)
"No, I DON"T WANT the classified, DUH!!"
we laughed.

My sis wanted to abandon me and leave me to the job, but I pulled her along.
"Moral support! MORAL SUPPORT!!"
Then, when we were waiting for the right moment, my younger sis spreaded her fear to me and I hesitated. All these thoughts came into my head.
What if it doesn't die even after I hit it and it climbs over my foot!?! NO! What if? What if!??!
Then, when I told my sis, she just HAS to make it worse by saying: "What if it flies?"
"Cockroaches can't fly." (I'm not sure, but well, it seemed like a comforting thought then!)
"Then how did it get on your leg that time?"
(There was once one really really small cockroach managed to get on my legs WHICH were on the chair... How? I still wonder... I actually thought it was a loose tread, but when I looked down, imagine the horror!)

Darn. See what I mean?? She affected me and I couldn't smash those puny cockroaches anymore...SO...

We ran upstairs.

Suddenly we didn't feel that hungry anymore... Haha...

You were lucky, cockroaches... We'll see if you can escape me again NEXT TIME, when my younger sis isn't there...

p.s. She's afraid of bugs, but not of rats. I'm the exact opposite. I mean, bugs are puny! Compared to RATS! (Darn rats... ate my doll's eye out[a few years back]... I shall have my revenge! One day... One day... when I get rid of my fear of you... Haha... Or maybe I'll ask my sis to do it FOR me.)

Cockroaches? Easy peasy.
Rats? We'll have to wait and see... I'll probably be running away. :p

p.p.s. My sis also wrote about it in her blog, though her is a little more fictional. Trying to add some spice in the story.

p.p.p.s. My sis screamed, but I didn't, just ONCE when a cockroach ran out of nowhere. It was the element of surprise that made me scream, NOT the cockroach. Just to make things clear... Hehe...

~And that concludes the story of my near death experience~ (I'm exaggerating...)
