  Anyway it is very tiny compared to the monsters from my old home at Telok Kurau

  I don't have a picture of those but if I sprayed insecticide in the room, I would have found like 5 -6 spiders bigger than my palm  lying dead on the floor

   

  Anyway Rhonda, just calm down

  Spiders aren't like those monster movie spiders you know

  A PET?!!! 

  Do you want a spider as a pet?  I can hop down to the pet shop in Queen Victoria Market and get  you one.    But you'd have to meet me at the airport cause I'm not going to bring it home with me in case it escapes!!!

  OK, I've stopped shaking and I don't think there'll be any more spiders to kill for tonight!  I'll go and try to sleep now!  Bye, folks!  Thanks... NOT, for trying to scare me even more, you evil ones!!

  Last time when I was in primary school, I think primary 4, a praying mantis fell on me and decide not to leave my back. I turned to ask my friend to brush it off my back but my friends run off screaming all the way...

    As it is, I kept waking up during the night, whenever I 'felt something' crawling on me!    I daren't look underneath my bed... think eventually, I'll stick a mirror in and see if there are spiders in there!  I'm so worried they will fly to my face and bite me!!

  Wah biang!!  So scary!!  What kind of 'friends' you've got there?!    Never help but run away first. 

  I still remember this incident in Primary 2.  I thought I felt something crawling up the back of my neck, and I grabbed hold of it through my uniform.  It felt long and hard... I thought it was a centipede and cried and cried and refused to let it go.  The I)&*)@#(&@!#!!!  Mandarin teacher asked me what's happening cause I was crying and I yelled "Lao Shi!!  There's a centipede crawling on me!!" All this while, I never let go of the 'centipede'.  Blardy lao shi didn't do anything but continued teaching!!   

  FINALLY, towards the end of the class, the sadistic like-to-watch-children-cry devil woman came over and tried to help.  The whole class laughed non-stop when they found out what my 'centipede' actually was... it was the black string necklace that held my religious Taoist amulet!!  I remember feeling soooo embarrassed with the lao shi scolding me "Ben4 Dan4!"   I also remember that that was the first incident where I started to hate my Taoist gods because in my little mind, I was thinking why my gods abandoned me and allowed this centipede incident to traumatise me!

  don't worry, they're no match for the giant hornets which are about 3 inches long and can shoot acid into the eyes of their enemies.. and the acid contains a pheromone that calls the rest of the giant hornets to come sting you until you are dead...

  They use their webs as parachutes and parasails to get about.

  You havn't met up with the commando version of the standard spiders. The infamous funnelwebs!! Some can stay underwater for up to 4 hours and raise out of your toilet bowl to bite you.
