Unwanted fellows in peaceful days
Hot 1 |
From last Friday evening to Sunday, it had been raining for almost two and half days. The temperature went down, as if it was back to autumn again. This morning, I saw some people have thick coats and heard some talked about the weather is changeable. I just wear the white shirt and find not that cold and am satiable to be with this kind of cool-warm-switch weather.
While the greenery outside implies the present moment and cherries have already turned to be mature. Last few weeks ago, it was the ocean of sakura and other flowers, now the twiggy branches grow with red fruits. Some birds are fluttering to forge among fruits. After the rain, leaves with unique light green are more glamourous in the contrast with dusty roads few days ago.
The lower temperature does not barricade mosquitoes’ desperate blood sucking. Even at the time when I was waiting for the metro behind the line, I felt crawly around my neck. That kind of feeling lasted for several minutes till the train arrived. When I got in the compartment I discovered my left palm attached a mosquito which had already become a dead specimen. Then I remembered it was the slap out of instinct by the judgment from the itched neck spot.
To be honest, they are never gone, even in winter, they lurk behind some unknown corners. They are strong survivors as in cockroaches can be traced in drainage system, even a desert. We hate them because of their unwelcome intervention and annoying interruption, but have no effective methods to get away from them. Usually they can fly and sink into higher storeys of those apartments so long as there is a chance which might be a leak of an unlocked window or an exhaust hole of an air condition’s.

- The rain has been pouring down at my place, but I kind of like it because it seems to cleanse the air and streets. The negative side is that it becomes cooler with the rain and as a result I started sneezing with nasal drip wasting tissue paper. That is quite annoying.
Even at night there are tough decisions to make. Thick blankets make me sweat and when the blankets are insufficient, I shiver in cold. The best option is a thick blanket as standby and my favorite air condition blanket for cover.
I don't see much mosquitoes around but it is no use battling with them as they often outsmart humans. My god, just the mere mention of cockroaches is enough to drive me up the wall. I can handle a tiger but not those crawly insects. I can't understand why I am so terrified about cockroaches, especially those airborne ones. They look so scary and if one flies onto my skin, that part of my skin feels tainted for a lifetime. I definitely don't have sufficient courage to kill a cockroach, even with spray insecticide.
Well, Spring is still here and the land is blossoming with flowers and greenery. A walk through the greenery and flower gardens is indeed most refreshing.

- Take care, friend. Though summer is coming around while the abnormality of weather changing really impacts us and makes us sick if we do not pay much attention.

Those insects are very strong to be alive in this planet. On some level, I have given the though of their magic power to survive on the earth. I used to stamp down a cockroach and also hit some by hands, since I knew if I did not do that, they would still be there and I could not be sure when I should distinguish eliminate them. Then the fear was nothing and replaced by my anger since they are really disgusting.
Sometimes we can conquer the outer space, while have no idea to take those insects.
Whatever, in the end of spring, hold this beautiful moment to enjoy as much as we can.

- Yeah, mom always used to say, don't put the blankets away until after the Dragon Boat (Tuen Ng) Festival.
Yeeeeee...... How could you stomp a cockroach with your hands? So scary. I feel bad for weeks when a cockroach crawls on me and you can kill it with hands? Wish you won't do that. Perhaps, we don't live near the lake so we don't see to much of these pests.

- Yes, I just did that. Since at that time I found no other means to hit that annoying one. If I did not do that, it just went away and came out soon again to torture me. Finally the courage took the fear and let me do that.
