| ANTS!!! for the past 2 months, i've been dealing with an influx of ants patrolling my studyroom. i was actually quite puzzled as to what attracted them into my room, since they didnt use to "visit frequently". got really pissed off today, and started to ransack the room (again), looking for "ant-paths". after some inspection, i finally managed to find that damn path that i've failed to locate for the past 2 months! out came the insecticide, and the ants became "black-dots-sticking-on-the-wall". after 5 minutes of spraying, i was close to my window grill. sprayed at the side of the grill, and something came "flying out". something white, and on first glance, it certainly looked like fish bones to me. it didnt take me too long to realize that this could be the lizard i smacked on 2 months ago. now, the thought of that got my hair standing. i can barely believe that a dead lizard was there for 2 months, and what's left are just bones and ants? i went to get some tissue paper, and started to pull out the bones. true enough, its that damn lizard! there were ants all over that "thing" and what was even more amazing was, the "middle part" of the lizard was actually bluish green in color! i suspect its because of the poisoning from the insecticide? haha. anyway, more than half of the lizard's "flesh" was gone. that half left is just what you see when you finish eating up a fish. yes, just the white bones. i still remember i was chasing after that damn lizard back then, one hand holding the insecticide, the other hand wrapped in a plastic bag, ready to catch it. i only managed to spray some insecticide on it, but i know it wasnt enough to kill it. it somehow disappeared and so i started to smack the sides of the window grills (the parts against the wall). attempts to tempt the lizard to move out turned out to be futile. what i didnt know was, one of my "smacks" actually turned the lizard into a flat pancake. as if trying to take revenge on me for that, the lizard attracted a steady stream of ants into my room for the next 2 months. now, that's quite a punishment for me, cause i really cant stand the sight of ants!! especially not in my studyroom! i've since sprayed the "ant-paths" with insecticide. they are all going to die!! woohoo! opps.. i sound like i'm some psycho.. but dont you agree with what i did? i've always felt that we should have a worldwide "clean up the world, kill the ants" day, where everyone in the world will just kill all the ants they see. seriously, dont you think that's a good idea? no? by the way, the thought of this whole ants cleanup thing this afternoon is still causing my hair to stand every now and then. oh no... |
