AHHH!!!
So there was a brown patch on my rose apple…
I bit into the flesh that was above the patch, thinking that the fruit was only rotten at that spot…
When I looked at the bite, there were tiny bugs squirming inside the fruit.
Turns out the brown patch extended upwards inside the fruit.
Brushed my teeth. After screaming, that is.
I had a similar encounter with rose apples before. Once, a few years back, I bit into the fruit and a bloody maggot was wriggling inside. How the heck do these things get inside the fruit? How do houseflies lay eggs inside fruits? And why is it only rose apples? ARGH.
Dreamy buggy movie
Funny dream that I forgot to blog about…
I was on a huge grassy meadow where the wind was blowing against the tall grass and the trees. 2 companions – a horse and a little rabbit. I can’t remember much about the horse but the rabbit was A DAMN CUTE LITTLE BUNNY! So we walked around a bit, and eventually we came to a broken fence. The 3 of us jumped over the fence, and in slow motion, I saw my two friends transform from real animals to soft toys. OMG I cannot stress enough how cute the bunny soft toy was!!! It took the shape of a fat marshmallow and it had huge glistening eyes, ahhh! Anyway. That was the end of the animal-friends story. Suddenly I was sitting upright on my bed, looking at my legs. Except my legs had transformed into leg-shaped balloons made out of transparent plastic which had a white plastic grid pattern on it. So instead of skin, blood, muscle, bone etc, my legs were just made out of plastic. I had a pair of tongs in my hand and I started to pinch my plastic legs repeatedly with them, so the air in the legs expanded and made them into funny shapes. Then I woke up. Hmm.
Crap. Just got a humongous mosquito bite on my ankle. [Bug rant coming on...] I don’t think mosquitoes really contribute to the ecosystem very much. They’re useless parasites, with or without them, Mother Earth would still run smoothly, I bet. Except maybe some animals eat them, but mosquitoes aren’t a major aspect of their diet right? I hope that one day, mosquitoes will eventually be extinct, or evolve into less-parasitic, less useless bugs instead of being an irritant to mankind. Pfft.
Watched Angels and Demons, my first movie in a loooong while (since Slumdog Millionaire?). I didn’t manage to finish the book, so without having the book as a comparison, I thought the movie was pretty damn good. Except according to Haniel, it had some inaccuracies. And some sexual innuendo. But then again, which movie adaptation doesn’t (inaccuracies, not sexual innuendo). Much better than the Da Vinci Code movie anyway, I remember it was kind of like, “Oh by the way, Jesus was your ancestor” kind of thing. I think? Haha.
Back to Pip’s great expectations.
Eureka
I was about to drift off to sleep, wondering what was wrong with her…
Then BOOM it hit me – histrionic personality disorder. All the while I’ve been thinking that she’s insane, but it just didn’t seem like the best word to describe her. She just has this incessant need to exaggerate and blow up every mundane happening in her life into some big drama episode, then seeking God for some form of salvation from us horrible, horrible people who “victimize” her. Histrionic personality disorder is the closest thing I can come up with.
This symptom on Wikipedia especially caught my eye, “Rapidly shifting emotional states that may appear shallow to others.” Spot on, Wiki.
Random Photos
Piles of homework have been preventing me from updating nowadays… I guess the most I can do is post some photos that have been sitting around in my phone. Our Indian gang severely lacks photos…
Anyway, with regard to the previous Stabucks post, Julien found out that “short” does exist as a size. Crud, no wonder nobody seemed bothered. Oops.

Adam Lambert Tap Tap-ing
Adam Lambert on his birthday.
While sending some songs from my laptop to Zhi Wei’s phone, Amanda changed the name of his phone to JerrieLOVER<33333. We suspected PARAMI belonged to an ang moh sitting near us, and he had a very, very strange dent on the top of his skull. Amanda thinks he rammed his head into a wall.
Unflattering shot of Zhi Wei.
Lesson Learnt
Recently, I made a new friend.
He takes 2-3 hours to reply a message.
Now I know how annoying I am when I do that.
Since the both of us have the same crap habit, an SMS conversation ends up consisting of about 3-4 messages within 6 hours.
New resolution: Reply messages within 15 minutes.
Bug Adventures:
A lot of moths have been flitting into my house recently. Are moths affected by the crazy bipolar weather or something? Is the weather making them evolve into mega moths? Because they’re really BIG now. A HUMONGOUS one flew into my room recently, it was so bloody big that its fluttering was loud enough to wake me up in the middle of the night. When I turned on the light, I realized that it was orange and brown in colour. Looks like the kind of moth that belongs in the jungle man, what’s it doing in my room?!
Then I found a fat, big dead moth in the middle of the study room a couple of days ago, and this morning, another crazy bigass moth flitted around the study room too. I was like, that’s it, that’s the last moth that’s gonna invade my personal space. So I sprayed insect repellent onto it. Okay, so the can said, “For Crawlies”, but moths can get affected too right? WELL, despite spraying numerous times on it, it refused to take its final breath. Since it wasn’t working fast enough, I grabbed a stack of newspapers and squashed the damn thing. After a few minutes, I lifted the stack. Shit me, it was still twitching! Whoever said that cockroaches will outlive us all obviously never encountered a moth. It wouldn’t die! Well it was half-dead so I flushed it down the toilet bowl. Knowing its resilience, it probably wouldn’t drown anyway.
Actually, I don’t know why people don’t kill moths, they always shoo them out of the window. Why? Because they’re harmless? I guess that made me kind of regret killing the moth but damn it, this is like the umpteenth time I’m encountering hugeass moths and they scare me. Bugs, invade my personal space and diiieeee.
