HEyyyy!!! It's time for my 3month-ly update!!
Anyway, this incident happened about a month ago, but because this happened to me(lazy blogger) I only decided to put it up today~
What happened:
I was happily playing games on the laptop when I saw something dark move really fast across the wall in front of me.. At first, I thought.. "hmm.. what? shadow?"
After 5 minutes, it happened again, this time I happen to catch it moving - A LIZARD!!
So I panicked and searched for an insecticide spray(thanks for the idea, housemates of 124E) and SPRAYED it! It dissappeared...
for 30 minutes I was in constant fear that it might run out at me...
..
..
..
it did run out again after 30 minutes, this time I sprayed it directly! So it ran away.. I didn't know where it was..
Thanks to the spraying, my room was really smelly, so I pulled my curtains aside to let in fresh air.. but the lizard fell past my hands and onto my table, right beside my laptop.
I.. SCREAMED and it rolled about and fell on my bed.. and stayed there silently and just LYING there as if it owned my bed!
I panicked even more and asked a friend what to do with the lizard because it was right beside me(less than 2 feet away) and is right next to my pillow....
My "awesome" friend told me to vacuum it, and since I was too scared to touch it or shoo it away from my bed(risking it running at me or breaking its tail on my bed) I went downstairs and got a vacuum..
Before I can turn on the vacuum, the asshole lizard crawled under my blanket(yeah, I don't make my bed) so I started vacuuming my top blanket and my pillow and my Moo away from the bed and still couldn't spot the lizard.. I was hysterically screaming while holding onto the vacuum, 4 feet away from the bed.... and that was exactly what my housemate saw when he reached the top of the stairs, as he just reached home.
I semi-begged him to help me with the lizard because I was too afraid to sleep in my bed knowing that the lizard was somewhere under my blanket.. It turned out that he was afraid of lizards as well!!
Anyway, he helped to lift my blanket, shake it to check for the lizard.. and the lizard was clinging onto my blanket for dear life! The second I saw it, I screamed, he yelled and dropped my blanket and we ran out of my room.. He went back in, picked up my blanket(the lizard was on the floor) and I was yelling "SPRAY IT!! SPRAY IT!!" so he took the insecticide, sprayed it while it rolled around in agony(I'm sorry for the cruel death, but lizards freak me out)
After about 10 seconds of spraying, it was still twitching and my housemate acted as though he was about to leave it there and go back to his room, so I asked him to help get it out of my room..
Since he was afraid of lizards as well, he went to the toilet, took a LOT of tissue(while muttering that I owe him big) went back into my room and stared at the lizard for 2 minutes.
I stood outside my room, peeking in while he attempted to pick up the lizard with the load of toilet paper in his hand. Every time he felt it move under the tissue, he'd yell while I screamed....... He finally got the lizard after a few tries, ran to the toilet and flushed it.
My housemate is my hero now :D (he still annoys me and he cooks stinky food almost everyday, but saving me from a lizard is epic)
I called my sister and told her about the lizard episode the next day.. and she told my brother.. and my brother told his girlfriend.. they now call me the evil lizard murderer although the one who did the murdering was my housemate ;_;
Anyway, I'm sure you're wondering why I only posted this now when it happened a month ago? Well, the day after this happened, my grandma passed away and after that I had to concentrate on finals.. My papers are finally over and I have spare time now before going home to Malaysia... So yeah, here it is. The Lizard.
I'll update again when I'm back in Brisbane after my winter break back in Malaysia! That means, see you in 2 months!
