Everybody needs Somebody
Lab station is always full of specimens.
We used to have a housefly which was dying and maggots were seen coming out from it's body. There were no news of how it disappeared days later but I suspected that it was not as simple as one might think. The body of the fly was decomposing and the sight of it was becoming too disgusting for some. It was only natural for it to be disposed in order to preserve some hygiene. But I wouldn't think of it this way.
Elias would usually eat his lunch inside Lab as there are always some cases left behind at 12 noon. The rest of the Lab staff would be having their lunch breaks and he would be left there to attend to the remaining pre-enlistees. Most of the time I would be joining him as I am on a diet and I always skip lunch. (It's true that I always skip lunch, but to say I am on diet will be like saying that I am Elvis Presley.) He would be heating his packet of rice in the microwave and getting ready to eat. I noticed that whenever he took a bite, his eyes would stare at the housefly which was trapped in the plastic container. His eyes were glued to the movement of the poor soul, like a cat gazing fish in a water tank. I could see that he was enjoying his meal more and that much of his saliva was dripping out of his mouth. I began to suspect that he got a craving for tiny munchies. Maybe like a bite-sized keropok or something. I do not have any evidence regarding this, but from what I have witnessed, Elias might have taken the violent approach. Probably he couldn't resist the temptations and ate the housefly without anyone noticing. Maybe, he just simply couldn't wait for dessert.
Marcus has a whole lot of personal goodies too.. aside from his usual collection of old nanny bras and panties. He has dead bodies of centipedes and lizards. He managed to preserve them for a long time with the help of some ethanol and they look as though the museum could do some display with them, more for the kids that is. Other than that, people who are of deeper knowledge might think that it is a low budget Science centre. There was once Elias and Marcus caught a live centipede. It was placed in a test-tube like container and was a major attraction for everyone in that period of time. Every now and then, I would go and take a look at the centipede instead of going to the toilet for a pee. My bladder might burst but it was well worth it. Good things don't last long and it disappeared after a few days too. I don't think anyone would have eaten it since it is poisonous but I am very sure of a possibility that could have happened.
It was of high chance that after maturity, it had evolved into a butterfly and flown away somehow.
One week ago, Victor caught a spider and was kept in the same kind of plastic container like other specimens did. It was a shy, average house spider. The reason it was being labeled shy was because it usually hides behind the top cap. One couldn't really see it's presence unless the container is being tilted at a slanted angle. To break the ice, We decided to introduce some friends to it.
First, we caught some ants.
Kong said that the ants could be the spider's food so they were being put into the same container. On the other hand, I was thinking that if the spider could spare the lives of the ants without eating them, then it could be the beginning of a true friendship between them. But the spider was hungry and ate them in spite of the morals I was going to impart to it. The shy nasty spider ate them one by one, without anyone looking. It would pretend to look innocent and hide at it's usual spot whenever somebody tries to observe it's prey eating behaviour. Once the coast was clear, it would feast on them like a silent hunter.
Then came wrestlemania XXXXX.
A housefly was caught again and placed in the same container as the unbeatable spider. The housefly was kindof injured and I could sense that it was trying to plead with the spider. I glanced into the container and right into the eyes of the fly. Our minds were intercepting and we functioned as one.
'Please don't kill me..'
'I have 3 kids..'
BlaBlaBla
BuzzBuzzBuzz
Suddenly, I was interrupted by another frequency...
'Hi there, my name is Peter Parker..'
'I've made some new ant friends earlier on..'
'We had so much fun playing hide n seek together..'
'Care to be my friend too?'
I missed the action and the housefly was left half-bodied the next day.The spider had sprung onto the fly and fed on half of it's body.
Cool.
Long weekend till today.
Spent Saturday and Sunday nights over at my girlfriend's place. Watched a movie (downloaded) before going to bed on Saturday night. Feels so good to be sleeping beside a person whom you love. We had dinner at Fish n Co. in Jurong Point on Sunday. Her mom was asking Belle to join her for dinner and it just so happened that I was around too, so I had no choice but to go along as well. Usually one would assume that if there's an adult around, most likely he/she would be paying.
Well.. It applies to my family. And I am not surprised if this is something which everybody practises. (Given the fact that there are no other working adult present. Being an NSF is not considered working at all, it's slavery.)
I was thinking of eating at Food Court at first. But after knowing that her mom was joining us, my appetite became extravagant straight away. In my mind I was thinking of Jack's Place, Swenson's Sizzler etc.. Then I settled for Fish n Co.
Well.. I did feel uneasy knowing that it's not going to be cheap so I went to draw out some money just in case. Her mom did pay for the bill, but I was feeling awkward so I took out some money to return her as soon as I had the chance. But she gave me a smile and said 'no need.'
What could I say.
I mean like.. if she insisted, I didn't really have the choice too.
Didnt I?
Going for operation tomorrow.
Gonna miss my teeth.
