Flies

Yo everyone.. My 8th post, leaving me with only 2 more to go!! And this post is a horrifying experience that I experienced just last night. Well, it was after the seriously brain-racking SMOJ Round 2, and I went to my aunt's house to relax and have fun! And everything was going on all right, including on my way back home, until I reached the carpark of my house. The minute our car entered the carpark, my sister noted that something was amiss as she saw a bee-looking-like fly flying around the light.

At first, I thought that it was just a random fly, but as our car proceeded to the higher levels of the carpark, we received the greatest shock of our lives. There were lumps of black stuff clinging onto each fluorescent light tube in the carpark!! On closer look, we realised that they were large amounts of flies climbing around. It was seriously gross with the large amount of flies flying around!! As we progressed to higher levels, there were even more!!! Many other cars were also going around, aware of the massive amount of flies, and thinking of ways to evade them. In fact, a man who just left his car and entered the staircase came running back too!! It was seriously freaky!!

After some time, we decided to use our umbrella, but then we thought that it was not such a good idea because my sister said that using an umbrella indoors or when it is not raining will attract the spirits as they usually like to hide under umbrellas. Therefore, it was not such a good idea. Although we never know if it is true or not, but well,, it is never good to defy such stuff as what if it is true? Then you would be courting trouble.

So, what was our solution? We stayed in the carpark until another driver came and drove his car away. Thus, we had a parking lot at a lower level, which reduced the number of flies we encountered.. Lesson learnt? Patience is the key to success!!

Great, so now our problem at the carpark was settled. But, the moment we reached our doorstep, we almost died of shock again. There were tons of dead flies outside our house!! So we had to sweep it up the next day.

So, what are my reflections? I believe that the HDB, and the town council, should constantly check the condition and environment of the HDB flats as these kind of incidents seldom happen in condominiums. Therefore, in order to provide all residents in Singapore woth a wonderful environment to live in, thegovernment should do something about this. Thank you!!
