Things you love … NOT

24 March 2005No Comment

Here’s one confession. I’m one of those people who’ll NEVER sign up and take part in ‘Fear Factor’.

Although I love watching the show, I can’t understand why anyone would want to gulp a ‘fresh madagascar cockroach juice mixed with blended cow’s intestines and dead fish’ in a hope to win the US$50,000 prize money. Basically I’m just not a big fan of gory stuff, creepy crawlies and reptiles (not to mention a whole list of other things!)

An old friend of mine, also from Perth College, happened to keep rats as pets. She told us that her rats were ‘smart’ and clean (she bathed them with Pantene shampoo!).

I remember how she shoved two dark brown BIG rats to my face 10 years ago, at her birthday party! I was shocked! And she was kinda offended that I couldn’t see how cute they were, hehe.

After 2 hours I finally could hold them in my hands, pat their heads and put them on my shoulders (still didn’t find them cute or adorable, though!). And, and … *drums rolling* I still got the photos to remind me of that memorable-unlikely-to-happen-again moments! Hehe.

Now another thing. I can’t stand house lizards. It’s my worst phobia! Can’t be near them, can’t touch them (not even real-looking plastic ones). Can’t even look at a photo of it without cringing. Would seriously faint too if anyone threw one at me on purpose (now, why would anyone want to be that mean, anyway!!).

And I’m really glad my hubby is not scared of them, and helps keep our home lizard-free!

PS: The image was taken from gettyimages.com and it’s actually a photo of 6 lizards having a group discussion, hehe. I had to purposely change its look before posting it here so I won’t have to cringe whenever I visit my own website!
