The Rat

Last week, my lecturer was talking about phobias. He was explaining the different kinds of phobias and the names! Oh how interesting are the names. Then, he casually asked, “Siapa takut ular?” A few students rose up their hand and the next thing I saw was a few snakes wiggling on his hand and the class went…

Oh, I shall not talk about the reaction, just in case I break the confidential etiquette of my class.

Or have I broken it?
Er… not too sure about it. If you who is reading this, is my classmate and you think I have broken it, just let me know ya?
I will delete it off. Don’t need to sue me. My middle is already Sue =D

Oh yes, sesat again.
Back to the story, I was quite fine with snakes plus obviously the lecturer not so brave to take snakes right? (ops, am I underestimating my lecturer?)

After awhile, the lecturer asked, “siapa takut tikus?”
My toes curled up, stomach feel a bit weird and my shoulder shrunk in. From almost slipping off the chair, suddenly, I straighten up!
There, in his hands, was a rubbery soft black rat with utterly geli super long springy tail! After showing off awhile, he started to twist and turn the utterly geli super long springy tail!

OH MY GOODNESS!
Just by looking at it, I felt like yelling out loud.
But of cause, I didn’t. I’m brave, I got image to keep, I’m DWO =P Hahahahah…

It reminds me of my encounter with a big fat rat with utterly geli super long springy tail four years ago.

Four years ago, when I was form four, I attended Accounts tuition class on 7.30am, Sunday.
Yes, you read it correctly. Accounts tuition, 7.30am, SUNDAY!
(Now think of it, I think I was really hardworking! WAS =/ )

One beautiful Sunday, as usual, I woke up 7am with my eyes still could barely open. I dragged myself to the bathroom. While brushing my teeth, the back of my mind, I must be thinking I wish I don’t need to wake up, I wish I was smarter, I wish I didn’t tell my form 3 Kemahiran Hidup(KH) teacher that “there is only four accounts questions in PMR KH paper. So what is the use of studying Account?”, I wish the tuition class is held later, I wish… oh how I wish =D

As I was thinking, I heard a sound of footsteps in the toilet.
It was very quick yet soft little footsteps.

I looked into the mirror carefully.
Nothing.
I though I must be day dreaming. I wasn’t quite awake yet.
After few seconds, I heard it again.
But this time, louder, clearer and quicker.
I looked into the mirror.
Nothing!
I turned my back.
Nothing!
I looked up!
Lo and behold, I saw a super fat rat with utterly geli super long springy tail running super fast around the four walls of the toilet.

I was super stunned, freak out, in unbelief state.
If I’m not mistaken, few weeks before that, I just wrote an English essay about being trap in a room with rats.

Quickly, I jumped up to the water tank. That was the most logical and best solution I could thought of at that moment of time.
The big fat rat with utterly geli super long springy tail was surrounding me in circles!!!!
After I regained my ability to breathe, I quickly ran out of the toilet and latched it. Then, there was I, outside the toilet, yelling out loud for daddy the hero!

Oh crap, what would I do without daddy! =/

So, here’s my story how I started to scare of rats.

Oh yes, I was super traumatize by it!

Don’t you ever try to throw a big fat rat with utterly geli super long springy tail at me! I wouldn’t take, and I wouldn’t have the sporting-ness & strength to laugh even after I realized it’s a prank, and then tears will start to fall like raindrops, and then you will have no way of comfort me, and you will start to feel super duper guilty for traumatizing me the next few days for an exchange of few seconds of my freaking out moment!

There!
I just help you to think and analyze the consequences. =D hehehe…
Am I not a good future counselor? ;)

Okie dokie. Now back to my classroom.
The lecturer seemed to enjoy wiggling the utterly geli super long springy tail. After awhile, he got bored at it. Then, suddenly, someone said, “Dr, ada katak tak?” (hahahaa... so funny! ada Katak tak? hehehee =D ops sorry, shock sendiri again)

And I went OH MY GOODNESS!
