Inverted Situations

Ewww....

Now Playing : "Rocket Brothers" - Kashmir

*AAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!*

I had screamed with all my might and leaped out of the bathroom while doing some funky chicken semi-dance moves thing. Normally, I'm not this enthusiastic about getting out of the toilet but just half an hour ago the most deeeesguuuusteeeeng thing landed first on my head, then travelled down my neck, plopped onto my boobs, sped down the side of my body and bounced off my hips right into the toilet bowl...*plooop!*

A house gecko.

Geli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If there is one thing I hate after arachnids and insects, it's geckos! Ugh, them and their beady eyes and lagi ewwwy super adhesive bulbous digits! The mere look of them gives me the willies! Ironically enough, I do like certain kinds of lizards and have kept two green iguanas, Beau and Jonas. Ah, but I digressed! 

These geckos normally love to hide in the kitchen trash can, so whenever I open it up to throw something away, five out of six times, I can expect one fat-ass gecko to go flying out from under the cover and landing on anything--that includes my feet! And of course each time that they do, I scream like there's no tomorrow. Aiiie, geli betul!

Still, better a gecko than a spider. Wah liao, if a spider ever touches my skin, I bet I'll be screaming loud enough to wake the dead

Shhh...!

While I'm busy screaming over tiny geckos, earlier tonight Jules and I went to watch a movie; Dead Silence. Initial plans were to just go for dinner and window-shop with my cousin Joanne, but since she bailed on us at the very last minute, we decided to take in a movie--one of our very favorite time killers! And we were far from screaming.

You see, unlike the gecko, Dead Silence was a horror movie--a B movie but nevertheless quite entertaining, especially with the direction recent horror movies go in lately. Digressed again. Pfft. Anyhoo, instead of screaming in fear...

...we were laughing!!!

But here's the best part; we weren't the only ones who were laughing but the entire cinema!! (Well, okok, so there were only about 25 people max in the cinema but stiiiiilll....!) For some reason, everyone had the collective tendency of laughing and giggling when a shock-value scene was about to happen--or is happening--and has happened. 

Weeeeeirrd.

Jules can vouch for a secondary reason of laughing and giggling so much during the entire movie, though! Seated next to her was a guy our age who was clearly (and very animatedly) terrified of the not-overly-scary movie *lol* and kept his face half hidden in his upturned shirt collar and had his fists covering the side of his eyes as he whimpered and breathed heavily while he watched the movie!! He was probably genuinely terrified because at one point he actually walked out!

So yes, it was the first time that we experienced and audience who laughed in fear and a guy so terrified of a movie. 

Fun times!

Ps. Methinks I got too enthusiastic with color options. >_<
