the black atlas moth...

this thing has been after me for quite some time now... and the great thing is dia macam tau aku phobia kat dia... asek carik aku je!


yes, im phobic towards it. butterflies, i love. black moth, i no like. you may ask, like, what is the freaking difference? I DONT KNOW. my fear is very selective lor.


aku pun tak tau sejak bila aku tak berkenan ngan dia. but i realised that whenever i see it, my hair will stand on its ends, and i will stand rooted, and i will automatically want to cry. even typing about it makes the hair on my tengkuk stand.


a few times these creatures came menyinggah at my corridor and lift-landing. kan aku ni step sumer brani, but if you want to see me scared, these are the moments. just put a black moth in front of my doorstep and i'll be scared shitless.


last saturday, dad wanted to get murtabak for dinner. as soon as he stepped out of the house, i heard him saying to mum, "wah, kupu2 besar!" terus aku mcm nak melalak coz i started visualising the big black monster in my mind. mum was like, "eh, nanti yun takot!" straightaway, the instructions from yours truly was to close door close windows. coz it was perched just atop the corridor. and i can see it when i watch tv. IT WAS LIKE VERY SCARY LOR.


and when the windows were closed, i could see its shadow, it was flying about outside the corridor. if i was outside during that moment, i swear i would have fainted there and then. even when i woke up to watch soccer, it was still flying about at the corridor. wahlao wey. creepy lah sey.


the sunday, i woke up late and mum said, the moth was still there when dad went to the market to get breakfast. kerana sayangkan anak dara dia yang ni, sanggup dia menghalaukan moth tu untuk aku tau. tu pasal aku sayang skali ngan abba aku mwahahahaha...!!


and i tot dah settle criter nya.


just now, before going home, i had this urge to eat Polar egg tarts. i saw them in the Cheers store. so i went to get the tarts and queued up to pay. the queue was very long. and suddenly i heard the cashiers screaming about.


and all of a sudden i saw A BLACK ATLAS MOTH, flying towards me. sumpah, it was straight out of a horror movie for me. i thought i heard the "Jaws" background music playing when it was flying towards me!


my knees went so weak and i nearly wanted to run off with the egg tarts without paying. but then, i took so much time thinking. it was already on its way towards me. lucky thing, otak cepat and i swatted it with the wallet. slamat wallet aku yang long type. pegang the ujung, and the other ujung was swatting it away. i could feel its weight on the wallet when i swatted it away. that thing is super huge, like dua tapak tangan aku lor.


and the thing actually flew out of the store. shit man. mata aku dah berair tau. tarik napas panjang2 and then i was okay. si mamat belakang aku pun tak leh harap. bukan nak tolong halaukan. dia pun takot gak nya. tsk. tsk.


i messaged mum on my way out. as usual the mum panicked and called me. coz she knows how i am super phobic towards it. but i told her i was okay. i told her im going home by cab. memang niat balik nak naik cab pun coz i was having flu symptoms. with this, lagiklah sepatotnya aku naik cab. kang tak pasal2 aku menurun kat tengah jalan kang, naudzubillah min zaalik.


gua pk gua terror. but gua takot dua benda. evil clowns and black atlas moth. so actually gua tak terror mana lah mwahahahaha...!!


mak kata agaknya orang nak datang minang aku kot, sampai dua kali dalam span dua hari si kupu-kupu itam ni dtg menyinggah kat aku. aku ameenkan je lah. doa baik per... ameenkan je lah... betul tak? hehehehe...!!


and to those yang tak tau apa tu Black Atlas Moth, ni dia. it can be very huge like dua tapak tangan Michael Jordon lor... this pic is by my sister Yan, she clicked it while we were in Desaru last year.
