crickets for dinner
September 17, 2009Of all the shopping I’ve done, this has got to be weirdest thing.
Dean and I bought crickets for his brother’s pet lizard to eat.
I refused to go in the pet shop, but Dean told me the guy just scooped crickets with his bare hands from the cage full of crickets.
“What?!!! DISGUSTING!!”
“Then how do you think they put crickets in the plastic bag?” Dean asked, laughing.
“Tweezers?! Tongs?! A spoon?!!!”
The crickets constantly made cricketing sounds that made the hair on my arms rise 90 degees.
I imagined the crickets escaping from the plastic bag, crawling into my ears.
What if there’s a hole in the bag?
I just wanted Dean to drive fast to send me home.
I refused to come near the plastic bag, I refused to look at it, I refused to acknowledge it.
I refused to talk to Dean when he made cricketing sounds to scare me.
I refuse to ever let my future sons have pets; lizards, rats, whatever.
I am not having these things in my house.
And I probably cannot drink take-away teh ais from mamak stalls anymore since they use these kind of plastic bags.
The thought of loose crickets in there. Cringe.
Hahahaha. I could not stop laughing!!! And I am at school! AAHHHHHHH…. I hope this chair will hold me up. Heeeeee
at least they’re not maggots 🙂
Hi VV,
I am heartbroken. I went all over KL (precisely KLCC area, since I live around here) to look for Marian Keyes – The Charming Men and sadly there is NONE, NADA :(.
I went to Kino at KLCC = zero
I went to Times at Pavilion = zero
I went to Borders at Berjaya Times Square = zero
I went to MPH at BB Plaza = zero
Why is it sooooooooo hard to get the book? Rasa macam nak merajuk dah.
Oh, anyway, nice interface on your new blog, but it took quite sometime to be opened up on my Blackberry though. It was faster with the old blog.
Keep up the good work VV, I bet one day you can write your own book and it’s gonna be famous!!! (just make sure you have it print a lot, so that it’s easier for me to get it at the bookstores)
aww man kesian you…just go to any mph and get them to order for you!
and i know it takes a while to load the page cos banyak sangat things on it hehe…sorry about that!
Can’t help but notice how much you’ve changed 🙂
Haha. Now Danial is obsess with animals.
