There are a few notable seasons in KTT. examples include the freaking-hot-and-dry-season (whereby during the afternoon, the library is the only place you'll wanna be even if it's pay-per-entry), the exam season (ironically, this is an all-year-round-season), and recently, the BUG SEASON...
for every night in one whole week, my apartment has been full (i mean at least 50 to 100 if them. frankly speaking, i lost count due to the large numbers) of those flying bugs. those that appear out of nowhere especially when it's about to rain, and god knows why, they swarm around the nearest light source available.
and it's irritating.
you do revision, they appear at your books.
you use your laptop, they appear on your keyboard.
you brush your teeth, they appear on your toothbrush.
you go to toilet, they appear at the toilet bowl.
you sleep, they appear at your bed.
you walk, you accidentally squash them under your feet.
that's excluding all the times they nonchalantly stand on your body when you're so absorbed in doing something, and then you get a shock of your life.
once, it was so serious that we did not realize they were entering our apartment from the balcony through the opened sliding windows. by the time we realize that, it was already too late. the floor, the flourescent lamp, the toilet, the kitchen, (literally every where) was already full of them. I swept and shoo-ed tirelessly with the broom to no avail. in the end we had to move our washed wet clothes from the drying line into the apartment (it's like 10 bugs standing on your clothes and the most freakish thing the bugs did was invading our underwears. OMG). then, we closed the sliding doors, switched off EVERY light in the apartment except the balcony lights, and observed through the glass windows.
what we saw was just horrible, freakish, disgusting, gruesome.
hundreds (yeah, i really mean it) of them are frantically beating their wings and ramming their heads on the glass panels. some are squirming helplessly on the floor. and to our utmost horror, many are attempting to enter our apartment through the gaps below the glass windows. we opened a gap to see what was happening beneath the metal railings and it was oh-so-disgusting -- the bugs are crammed into that small space, moving, creeping, crawling, squirming....In fact, typing this sends the chill down my spine.
well, it was only 10 p.m. that night and we can't continue doing revision in the dark (and we certainly couldn't switch on the lights either!!), hence, all four of us turned in really early that night, of course checking whether there are any of those bugs on our bed.
Next morning, all we could see outside the balcony was heaps of body-less bug wings. and inside our apertment, we found dead bugs feasted by ants.
It was just GROSS.
Robert, it's unwise for you to do that with Taylor around, u know?
