Born To Be Short

A scream could be heard from my room.... Mother instinct...quickly got up and rushed inside...

haiyah...it was just a dragonfly ma...
what was there to scream?
but give me a cockroach, i will faint!!

After snapping a picture of this beautiful insect, I took a broom.. tried to reach sweep it away from the ceiling but couldnt... I was "too tall" ...darn... pulled up a stool to reach it... another darn!! Why am I so short one! My girl was laughing at one corner already by then... I said, "hey, laugh what, u and i, almost the same, OK?"

Eventually a chair has to be brought... the dragonfly was just waiting to be swept away.. and out it went to another corner of the ceiling outside my room... Peace at last!

  14. I am always aware of being 'tall'...talking about always in the field with a bunch of taller players..sometimes kena kasi ketawa lagi...=.=

  15. Being short has it's advantages! You don't have as far to bend down and will probably get less back problems. It is spiders I'm terrified of, and they are all coming in from the chilly weather now.

  16. you are such a loving mom. so sweet to come to the rescue and trying to be tall at the same time, haha.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Aiyor...dragon fly also scared. Cockroach also...nothing to be scared about. Just get Ridsect and spray... LOL!!!

    ReplyDelete
  18. P.S. Lizard...also can spray. But have to remove when dead - will become very smelly.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I usually just catch it with my fingers and let it out of the room.

    But if it is a cockroach, then roll up a magazine or a newspaper and slam to crash it! Hahaha!

    PS: Regarding your question, that cruise ship's pic was taken by me. I didn't go on a cruise not my cup of tea. ocean is a scary place.

  28. Ya, you just reminded me of my own suffering in silence, when i was in school (form five) i was the shortest ( i mean among the shortest) in the class,,friends laughed at me a lot of time. i got very envious of them, they got to go party, but they never invited me, they thought that i was up to their mark,, hahahahah..

    you know something, My Jovial is going through what i went through as well, he is the shortest in the class now, and i know how it feels like,therefore i have to boost his self confidence so much,,,, hahahah

    by the way i am 5'7" ....i think 2" short to Tom Cruise,, so i am Tom Kurus

    ReplyDelete
  29. ling: u r not short la.. :)


    eugene: u r 5'7"? so u grew up later than the others.. yeah, yr son follows after u then.. yeah, some are slower than the others..

  30. LOL :D
    But some people memang afraid of insects. for me, I'm afraid of cockroach!

    ReplyDelete
  31. haha, i'm also the screaming type, and can't stand to be on the same floor or within 5 feet radius of cockroaches.. dragonfly i'm still ok, but NOT NOT NOT cockroaches or lizards... any of such that dare appear in my house will DIE (if hubs around)

    ReplyDelete
  32. irene, what 5 feet radius?? i will lock myself in the room away from the cockroach outside!

  35. I remembered I like to catch dragonfly during my childhood time. I will use a string to tie on its tail and fly it in the air and later pull it down, very cruel hor:-)
