buds:
Waah, ksi stay penthouse! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php
Why don't you say I stay shophouse??? kekeke :lol: -
Ok, seriously, my man is redundant.
Change lightbulb I can do myself
Computers, well no problems, Setting up networks, basic troubleshooting and reloading of OS no big deal. Any issues bigger then that, DH oso cannot help.
Fix leaky tap, same thing or else there is always the plumber
aircon call the air con pple as well
cockcroach, scream for my maid. Ummm... DH does that too cos he too detests cockcroaches.
The rest, lizards, bats, rats, etc, don't bother me much.
One of my main criteria for selecting a maid, MUST NOT BE AFRAID OF COCKCROACHES.
I am super duper paranoid about cockcroaches. I will not go near even dead ones. I once emptied an entire can of baygone on 1 cockcroach. Think it did not have a chance to die from the chemical reaction cos it drowned in it. Then I closed the door and left it there until my mum came home and I told her to help me dispose of it, was in my teens then. There after, I spend the next 1/2hr mopping the floor to get rid of the insecticide.
Incidentally, I am a single parent this week. Hate to say this but I am enjoying having the bed all to myself.

I super scare of those cockroaches which can fly....
:slapshead:
They fly.. I jump...
they are but just a small insect. just roll up some newspaper, aim and hit. as simple as that. if i see it crawling on the floor, and i don't wanna dirty my hand, i will use some toilet paper and crush it, then using the same toilet paper, pick it up and throw inside the toilet bowl.

Dead, unconscious or alive - they scare me to death. There was once I sprayed nearly half a can of Shelltox on one cockroach and left it to die properly overnight. The following afternoon, after gathering all my courage and a few drinks later, as I approached it slowly with outstreched disposable chopsticks and gloved hands, l saw one leg twitch. :!: Those things are indestructable ! :shock: I swear they are as old as dinosaurs.
watmekiasu, use morten....else one of those pellets thing do help...that is if you are NOT afraid of the dead or dying ones
I haven't used my rubbish chute for a long, long time - not since a cockroach dropped out after I'd opened the flap. All my rubbish is taken downstairs to be thrown away in a civilized manner (that is me not acting civilized after an encounter). -
to me, lizards are scarier than cockroaches.
i treat cockroaches as beetles to bring down the fear factor.
i don’t like lizards cos they have eyeballs and can stare at me! :!: -

I agree.....I can squash cockroaches without qualms but I cannot touch a lizard.....to me, lizards are scarier than cockroaches.
