oscar the cockroach
i was filling my water bottle today when i saw a cockroach in the kitchen sink. given my hatred for the wretched creatures (sherine can attest to this, except she'll claim that i'm actually scared of them...what nonsense), i decided to drown oscar the cockroach.
i turned the water on and let it flow until oscar became an exhibit at underwater world in my sink. 2 minutes later (the usual duration that it would take for an ugly speciman like oscar to drown), i turned off the tap, expecting to be able to throw the carcass away...when i noticed that oscar was still squirming around, fighting for his life.
that was when i suddenly realised that oscar was actually not much different from stick, my praying mantis ex-pet. i felt really bad, so i just took oscar out and threw him down the rubbish chute...hoping that he'd find better fortune in what must be heaven for him down there. karma, karma.
bye oscar, i hope you'll find a mate down there too. cheers. =)

Your entry reminded me of the time in Cambodia, in some god-forsaken "hotel", where I found a HUGE. It was about 6cm long and I'm not kidding. I proceeded to whack it to (what I hoped) death with my mud-covered slipper. After 30 seconds of constant whacking, I stopped, thinking that it would have died. Flat.
I was wrong. It sprung back into life the moment I stopped.
I proceeded to whack it for another minute because I was exhausted and angry. It finally died.
It was definitely the biggest cockroach I have seen in my life. So far.
Oh, men are not included in the above statement.
Did u catch that cockroach with yr bare hands before u flung it down the chute?
