My first life-and-death encounter with a (big) cockroach

realised that i have not posted a proper post since september, except for outings' announcements, birthday wishes etc :p

just a little while ago, i had my first life and death encounter with a cockroach. i was about to step into the toilet when i saw this big, black, disgusting cockroach resting somewhere near the toilet bowl. knowing me, i ran off immediately.

but the xiao qiang was really too big that i couldn't bear to see it escape alive and afterwards return to haunt me further. for your information, everytime i see a cockroach at home, all i had to do is to shout: "PA/MA/DI DI!!! YOU ZHANG LANG!!!!!" after which the poor cockroach would vanish from earth forever. but today, unfortunately, i was alone at home......

after hesistating for 5 minutes and calling my mum to check what time she will be coming back (unfortunately again, she did not bring her handphone), i finally plucked up all my courage, picked up the SHIELDTOX ODOURLESS KILLER, and headed for the toilet.

i stood outside the toilet, aimed the spray at xiao qiang with trembling hands, and took a deep breath.

with all my might, i pressed the spray head for one full minute.

during the process, xiao qiang struggled and tried to escape through the toilet door, which of coz i wont allow it; i pressed harder and made it went inside again. finally i gave up and ran back to my room after i noticed the force of the spray slowly diminishing. after the ordeal, i was panting as if i just finished a 2.4 km run, my hands were shaking uncontrollably, and my index finger hurt.

15 minutes later, my mum returned. she found a dead cockroach lying si jiao chao tian in the toilet. and to her horror i had used up the whole can of spray while trying to kill one cockroach.

anyhow, i am quite pleased that i managed to exterminate the first cockroach in my life. though my index finger still hurts.
