Nearly an hour ago, I’ve been frightened nearly to death. While I was using the laptop, something flew past my head. Immediately recognising the sound to belong to a cockroach, I let out a horrible scream and dashed out of the room.
My mum and sis came out of the room, and asked for the source of commotion. I told them, “There’s a kazua (cockroach) in my room!”. I ran into the kitchen arming myself with two cans of bug sprays.
Standing at the door to my room, I looked around and began spraying furiously, not knowing where the cockroach was. Suddenly, that big bugger scurried across the room to under my bed, making me yell twice. My mum and sis who were standing behind me jumped.
After many more screaming and yelling and spraying, the cockroach lay almost dead. I used a stick to shift it out from under the bed and it began kicking. I let out some more screams, ran out of the room and laughed at myself while crying. I reentered the room and used Baygon to spray on its legs till it kicked less vigorously.
Right now, I can’t stop looking around my room to check for anymore roaches. I’m scared out of my wits man…
Both my legs are conveniently positioned so that I can run again. My ears are extra sensitive to ticking noises that cockroaches make when twitching their feelers. And when I used the bathroom, I sprayed Baygon into it.
Maybe I should focus on eliminating this fear for now. After all, I’m bound to meet these flying demons during NS.

“And when I used the bathroom, I sprayed Baygon into it.”
O.O
Get a new house yea (“\(;…;)/”)
There are a few people with this same phobia on Ofear the Fear & Phobia Forum and specialists to give advice so could be worth checking it out.
I just did battle with one massive cockroach in the wee hours of the morning, nasty little critters.
“To conquer fear, you must become fear.”
Hi John, I visited the forum you suggested. It doesn’t seem to have something on cockroach phobia.
Perhaps I’ll post on the forum for help soon. Thanks.
LOL Eugene, how was the battle? And I’ve no intention of becoming my fear.
I mean, Batman has a pretty cool fear to conquer (bats). I have no intention of becoming Cockroachman.
LOL, I killed it after Baygon-ing the insect to death, but i was too scared to clean up. LOL. so i just ran away and went to sleep, then i had nightmares that night.
Now I get worked up everytime i hear some small twitching sound. lol I assume it to be the wings of those “flying demons”
LOL, Eugene. I didn’t know you had a fear of those things.
I cleaned up the one in my room by using a long stick to sweep it on the newspaper. Then I used the stick to wrap the cockroach up.
2 newspapers later, I threw it into the rubbish chute. I mopped the entire room with dettol and sprayed it with disinfectant.
I’m still jumpy after many days.
Yes, I have a fear of them, disgusting, plain disgusting creatures. Only a guy like Zhiwei is fond of such creatures.
