The Prehistoric Survivor
Do u noe tt pre-historic creatures still exist? i mean, other than the descendents of small flying dinosaurs (i.e. chickens), there is one species of creatures tt survive from ancient times til now w/out much evolution?
It is a smart and resilient species.
It is the cockroach.
u muz be wondering now why issit tt i choose to blog on cockroaches instead of the expected ramblings abt how
wonderful my 1st day at clinicals is. That is because this topic on cockroaches is more interesting, and i'm planning to to save my comments on my 1st day of placement as a draft so tt when i feel like blogging but have nothing to blog, i can post it up.
now back to the main topic. cockroaches. hrmm. why do i say tt they're smart?
well, it's really evident. this morning at 615am, i saw a cockroach in my kitchen. nah, that sounds like nothing extra-ordinary, but u muz first know the situation in my hse then. The cockroach busters (i.e. my dad and my bro) left the hse for hongkong this morning at 530am. and it so happens that my mum went to see them off. SO, the hse is only left with me, the one tt has been unknowingly conditioned by societal norms to be afraid of cockroaches.
isn't it smart of the cockroach to choose to make its appearance then, when it had disappeared for mths???
anyway, i had my duties as a member of the household to get rid of unwanted visitors. so i proceed to fish out a roll of newspapers, which is the usual routine of sacrifice. but! as i look at the brave blackie with the murder weapon in my hand, i couldn't do it. u see, due to its perculiar position, if i had juz slammed it down, its body maybe disembeled to various locations. now, i can't do tt to a creature tt had withstand eons rite? after serious consideration, therefore, i decided tt i shall use insecticide to "blow" it away onto a more suitable place (i.e. floor). but my kind gesture caused it so much agony!!! wat can i do?? "... ..." so i performed euthanesia as an act of kindess to end its agony...
hrmm... ok. so why do i say it's resilient?
well, after i performed the necessary procedure of euthanesia, i took my cup of tea n had breakfast in the living room. after abt 20min i went back into the kitchen to clear up, only to notice tt oh-mighty-survivor is still twitching its legs!!! it's not dead yet!!! i gave it another dose of insecticide. no!!! still alive!!! guilt weighed down on me as i realise tt i gave more torture to it by performing wat i tot to be best. as i wallow in my guilt, it slowly became at peace...
death time would be at ard 25min post operation. resilient, rite?
hrmm... are u asking me how i dispose of its body??
no, this is a question i had no answer to. u see, i am so full of guilt tt i cannot imagine myself touching its sacred body! no! i am unworthy of accompanying it on its last journey to the rubbish bin.. not with hands stained with its blood. so basically i left it on the scene of crime.
when i came home today, it's gone le. maybe it had went to some great unknown, where things are wonderful and nice.
it shd. it deserves it.
