Immortal Carapace

We all know how hard it is to kill a cockaroach. The cockaroach crawling all your leftovers right now has probably been doing it for the past five years. It's his childhood memory, and there's nothing you can do to take away his life. Litterally.

I was chilling in my own 4 by 4 walls of the Kelompok Cendawan, sitting around with my housemates Epul and Adzroul (Yes, the guy who was suppose to bring Tina Harlina to our apartment.) bumming on the bed while with the others thinking what to do to past this spare time. And then, another random insect flies into my apartment (For some reason, all kinds of insects like it there.)Only this time, it was the loathsome roach. Adzroul, being the star for Uniten Basketball, did the usual thing he did whenever he saw a roach; Run out of the apartment.

I don't blame him for his courage. He had some issues with juicy big roaches when we were in Tioman. Besides, I hate Leeches, snails and maggots.

Anyway, so this roach came in and made his home behind my PC. Smart little bugger. I had to dismantle everything so that I could get a clear view of him. And so Epul and Me did, with Adzroul cheering from outside. We were armed with Malboro Lights and lit our ciggarettes and tried to smoke the bugger out. Behind the PC. No, the table. No, the bed. No, the PC. No, the bed again. Flip over the bed, PC, Table, Bags and Squatters to find that Cockaroach.

Elusive little bitch. He went behind the unmovable cupboard.

For some reason, my cupboard was very difficult to move. Not that I had anything heavy inside, but the Uniten admins must've thought I'd probably steal the cupboard or something, so decided to seal it to the floor. (Not to mention they knew I was probably gonna lock myself out a few times so my door is freely accessible to anyone who wants to wake me up at 5am in the morning.)

The roach was still behind the cupboard, and there was nothing long enough (Except our ahem ahem...) to reach it. So the best thing we decided to do was to tilt it over. And yet, he wasn't there. He seemed to have dissapeared. This is getting annoying. We gotta move the cupboard and try to find him. Start by taking out the drawers.


Hey, I found a Porn CD.


God knows how long that 100% Thai CD has been in my cupboard, but it sure brought us relief for the night. No, we didn't watch it. We were laughing at the irony on how an immortal roach help us find this buried treasure. And at how long this CD had escaped the countless spot checks by Uniten.

We're watching it tonight.

Yes we checked the other cupboards for other porn material but they weren't any.

Anyway... After laughing our asses off, having another round of ciggies, Epul got tired and decided to lay on his bed thinking the cockaroach had magically morphed itself into a Porn CD so that he could escape the next morning. So we decided to call it quits on our roach hunt cause he help us find our entertainment source for tonight.

And there he was again.

The reaction time was quick. Epul sprang into action without his glasses and tried to grab the roach with his barehands. Adzroul sprang into action and stood outside to cheer for us. But once again, He found sanctuary behind the cupboard. This was getting on my nerves. We titled the cupboard (but we didn't find any porn) and I was on the floor looking at the roach who was nicely hiding underneath it all along. Hell, he even turned to look at me as if he was mocking me. And that ticked me.

So I grabbed the fire exstinguisher and that was the end of the roach problem.

But now... I have yellow dust covered all over the floor. :P

"But it suits the bedsheets!"
And then I ran out of breath....
