Q

I’m not afraid of cockroaches. One crawled over my face before.

I’m not afraid of ghosts/horror flicks etc. None, zilch, they don’t even make me gasp.

Guess what I’m mortally afraid of…?

Lizards. Writing that gives me goosebumps. Lizard is such an apt name. Sounds zippy and gross. I absolutely despise lizards. They give me the willies. Okay, maybe not despise, but more like terrified of.

I can’t stand wriggly things that move fast, not to mention in jerky movements. Imagine the traumatising time I had watching Monster Inc, with Randall (the huge purple amphibian-lizard monster) in it. I was horrid. ):

I scream whenever I am trapped in an enclosed area with them. One night (2am, upon touching them, I screeched my head off: ” MAMA JIU MING AHHHHH ! ” A couple of lights were switched on from the apartments of the flat a block away and I’m not exaggerating.

Took a thorough shower (at 2am-_-) in order to wash off all lizard fumes/filth.

BIRDS they freak me out from a close distance. From far, it’s alright. They are too flappy and fast for my liking. Way toooo flappy… -__-

Overall, they’re pretty much harmless, flies away if anyone is within a metre’s radius from them. Pigeons. Ah, they are the problems. Fat, flappy things. Icky.

BUTTERFLIES Honest. Why you don’t believe me? WHAT? I’m a wimp? No I am NOT. I ain’t ! I ain’t ! I ain’t ! They are MUCH TOO FLUTTERY ! Notice I hate flappy, fast, fluttery shits ? Uh-huh.

I’m generally quite okay with them now, but if caught off-guard and one sweeps down near me, I seriously will freak. And scream. LOUD.

THUNDERS I’m not REALLY afraid of them, or at least I’m too embarrased to tell. I used to loooove them grand, clapping sounds, laughing at cowardly screaming idiots who yell everytime the thunder sounds.

Uuntil one fateful night….

A night of real thunderstorm. Blinding flashes of light, lashes of lightning pelted out mercilessly on Earth, piercing the ground, deafening great BOOMS !!! It was an indescridable night.

(Siao bor? Write compo huh?)

Couldn’t sleep the whole night, startled by every lightning and thunder. -_- embarrassing.

The next morning, found out that a teeny army airport (so near that it was in view of my window) being struck down.

Gah. From then on can’t appreciate the magnificent works of Mother Nature without jumping up in fear each time.

Sway.
