Cockroach

We've had wasps, unidentified flying insects, lizards. Today, it's cockroach.

Mr Liow whacked it and it fell. He then sprayed Bygone at it and waited for it to stop moving. It fell on its back but continued kicking, so he sprayed more.

MIL was talking on the phone but couldn't help commenting "哇不要再喷了。他都要被你喷死了， 你还在喷。。。 你好可怕。。” (stop spraying already. It's already dying and you're still spraying. You're so frightening.")

Lol!

It continued to kick but couldn't get up. We watched on, worried that it'd start crawling the moment it got back on its feet.

I suggested Mr Liow whacked it hard and stop its suffering altogether. But when we needed newspapers to bundle up, there were none.

Mr Liow asked his mum where she kept her papers (she was still on the phone) and she tore a piece from her notebook.

We looked at each other, wondering what Mr Liow can do with 1 piece of paper.

While still listening to her friend talking on the phone, MIL walked towards Mr Liow with the paper, passed him and bent down to grab the kicking cockroach with her paper, calmly. With one free hand and the other holding the phone.

We were stunned for a couple of seconds before we burst out laughing!

It was that simple, pick the cockroach up and dump it in the chute. We spent more time waiting for it to stop kicking.

After settling the cockroach, Mr Liow shut all windows. MIL was STILL on the phone.

We took the kids into the room to sleep. Soon after, we heard MIL walk by the kids' room complaining “哇！ 你们窗口关到完。热死我。。。”

Lol! We are scaredy cats.
