i have a very horrible experience the other night.

it was a true invasion of my privacy.

i was working in my study room. as no one was at home, only my room light was on. by the time i was done with some of my work...it was 8pm, i was hungry and went to the kitchen to cook myself some korean noddles for dinner!! SLURP! kim chi!!!!

so i off the room light and walk in the dark into the kitchen. switch on the light and began my journey as a korean chef... to cook myself some dinner.

i was half way done when i decided to prepare the table in the hall so that i can wat and watch some tv programmes while i eat.

i switch on the hall light..and to my horror...not seen for many many months.... a BIG FAT intruder was stuck right there on the ceiling! its like 15 cm long and weighs like a ton!! the tail itself was like a 6 year of child last finger!!! and you can imagine the body...man, my goose pimple are up as i am typing now!!!

by the way, i am talking about my most feared enemy...the lizard.

i gave it a stare and move swiftly into the store room to get my "pounder" which housewifes calls a broom. 2 second flat and i was back and we gave each other that deadly stare.... it was either him or me who will come out of this alive.

very slowly, i walk to the window and open them so the if i don't kill him at least he will run out of the window and drop 17 floors down!

and so...the battle begins. i was ready and i can tell that he was too. he was ready to run as i try to scare him off to the window..... as soon as he turn his back...i ran to the kitchen and get my other ammo..... the bygone... made in thailand!!.... so one hand with the pounder the other the bygone i charge......

he turn and saw me rushing towards him...he did a matrix...and leap off the ceiling did a 180 degree flip and land on the 2 pillow that was on the floor.... i was like..shit where is he!!!

then i realise he have this ability to blend in with the orange pillow of ours.. he just stood still there... but with my xray, infra red, bite vision specs, i could see exactly where he was with pin point accuracy

so pushing the pillow with the pounder with one habd, i ppppppppppppppppppppppsssssssssssssssss with bygone at him with the other....he ran towards the window.... i don't know why he did not run out of the window, but he stayed by the side inside my house, i think he is scared of heights..so he did not run out of it... i continue to spray......

i can see he was feeling giddy now, but still alive.... he drop onto the floor again. knowing he was not in a stated to run away too far, i rush back to my ammo dump and grab another ammo... lyzol.... sprayed at him..he jerk a bit...and off came the BIG FAT TAIL!! yucks....

he thought he could distract me and began to run, with my pounder....WHAM BANG!!!!

i call in the clean up party. got my dust pan, sweep him and his tail into the pan and FFFFFFFFLLLLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUUUSSSSH!!!! he should be in batam now, enjoying the sun sea and sand.

after cleaning up the mess, i went from a military man and back to being a korean chef, and continued with cooking of my dinner that was so rudely interrupted by the unwelcome guest.

another useless thought.
