13177 Hypersonic April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 (edited) Cos they know if they fly inside when u awake, you would freak out..so they being polite to you I personally feel if they fly inside when i am awake, dont think they are scary at all. But when they fly in when i am sleeping, really freak me out! Edited April 30, 2012 by 13177 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightkids 6th Gear April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 Had a sadist childhood, the group of us would go ard the neighbourhood trees to catch these tree monitor lizard. Wack the daylights out of them n then burn them till crisps. And throw the corpse into the canal. Once we chanced upon the river monitor. One fren quickly took a branch n knock the fella unconcious. We took turns pull the huge lizard from the canal to the void deck by its tail. Then we wack the daylights out of it. Swing the lizard by its tail n slam it against the void deck pillar. After that threw it back to the canal n it drowned. We would walk inside the drainage system to catch fish or crabs. Once my bro n I came across a python and we stoned it to death. These used to be my childhood days. So carefree n evil. Hey......i use to do that in my childhood days as well !!!! 2 to 3 of us walked the neighbourhood and hunt for tree lizards.....use catapults with paper bullets and shoot them, bullets finished liao, use slippers...... Usually we wack till the fellow mabok, throw out the road and wait till cars go over them....... Remember once we bring a plastic bags full of tree lizards and tie it to the badminton court pole!!!!

Albeniz Turbocharged April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 I am also afraid of cockroaches. Cockroaches, unlike lizards, would run towards me when I approaches. The movement direction of cockroaches is also very unpredictable. One way to kill a cockroach without spraying too much insecticide is as follow: First, use a long broom to flip the cockroach till it is on its back and can Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obscurest 1st Gear April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 Yes I admit I'm afraid too. It nearly cause me to have an accident. There is once it crawl on the steering wheel onto my hand. When I felt something crawling on my hand, I looked at that direction and shocked to see the small roach. I instinctively move my hand trying to swing it off my hand not knowing that I'm holding onto the steering wheel very tightly. The car swerve to another lane and luckily I'm not speeding else sure lost control. I managed to swerve back and the little bug is nowhere to b found. Trust me.... My Heart is pumping super duper hard. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeshe Turbocharged April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 I was taking a piss this morning at a neighboring coffee shop after breakfast & a Roach crawled pass my shoes.... 2 things I quickly realised afterwards: 1. I never knew I could maneuver at that kind of speed while still maintaining lock-on target to the Toilet Bowl... 2. I never realised I was still so agile at my age & my feet could move like I had been through some form of Chinese Kung-fu training... P.S. KNN Don't laugh, cos that blardy Roach was hugh ok & I nearly died of a heart attack... KNN... flying roach is WORST Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
