There I was, in the early hours of Thursday morning, facing the computer and trying to get some work done. I had a lab test later in the day at 9.30 a.m.
Then, that foul creature decided to show it's menacing face. I could swear it was grinning at me when I stared into its malevolent black orbs; fear and fatigue, but mostly shock shackling me in my chair.
When I composed myself (hardly), I ran.
Switching on the living room lights, I kept a distance of approximately 2 metres from the reptile. I wasted the night scrutinizing it's movement, in and out from under my keyboard (think I'll have to disinfect it). This arduous task (both me watching the creature, and it sneaking in and out from under the keyboard, taking occasional peeks at me) went on till about 4.30 a.m.
I fell asleep eventually, but also missed my test. Having not studied at all, no thanks to the foul creature, I doubt I could have passed anyway.
It's kinda sad the only person who could handle lizards in the family is my dad, and he was sound asleep when it decided to abandon its orthodox path along the walls and climb onto my keyboard instead.
To end this post, some quotes from my friends who think my phobia is a joke.
"Use hand catch only la." - Jun Ru
"What a pussy." - Kelvin
"You're mad. Just lift the keyboard and let it go away la. Lizard only. Go army good luck." - Teng Kiat
