Raining maggots

I have raining maggots in my house, fo shizzle!

So this is what happened.

I went out for a jog last evening (4km!) and then when I came back, I did some stretching while watching How I Met Your Mother. I sat on the carpet and later on Syal came back from jogging as well. We watched the series and then at around 7, we thought that we had enough and decided to get ready for dinner. Syal went into her room while I continued to daydream for a bit, when I saw this fat, 1.5cm long, dark-coloured maggot pathetically worming, I mean, crawling on the floor. I thought, where would this maggot came from? Because we dont really have food in our house except biscuits. All other food is stored in the fridge. And then I saw another one about 2 feet away from the first one. And another one about 3 feet away from the second one. I was horrified and screamed my heart out calling for Syal and showed her what I found.

I was hanging my towel on the kitchen chair the day before after I washed my hair and it fell down on the floor but I didnt notice it. So when I saw 3 effing maggots crawling on the floor, I quickly went and picked up the towel and then,

15 fat effing maggots dropped from the towel!!!!!!!!!!

I felt so yucky because I used the towel the day before. I started to feel that something is crawling on my head so I trashed my hair to all direction and trashed arms and legs everywhere and literally had a Chicken Noodle Soup dance (y'all dont know CNS dance? click here damit). Of course there was nothing on my head except paranoia.

We tried to find the source but we couldnt find it. So we sweeped those fat little b*st*rds into the rubbish bin and threw them out.

End of story.


Except that it's not.
So we went for dinner (supposedly but the satay place was closed last night so we were very frustrated and decided to vent the frustration in Giant, instead). So we went shopping for grocery and yogurts and fruits and all the yucky healthy stuff. When we came back, we saw another two maggots on the floor and we were like, OMG where did these effing maggots came from?

So Syal sweeped them away and out of sudden there were 5 more on the floor. So Syal sweeped them again, I was just standing there and then I heard 'Tick!' and saw a maggot magically appeared on the floor.

For goodness sake the maggots came from our ceiling! You see, our apartment unit is on the top floor and we have pigeons living upstairs in the roof. I guess one of them must have died and now these maggots came from the ceiling. The weird thing is, there was no smell. These maggots were huge, so I reckon they were at the final stage before going into a cocoon or whatever you call it.

I wanted to eat my yogurt before I realized that they kept falling from this one particular crack in the ceiling. So Syal and I discussed, very seriously, with frowns on our forehead on how to tackle this messiness.

So I suggested that we put our rubbish bin, that was lined with a plastic bag, underneath that crack and so that they would fall into the plastic bag and tadaaa! What a genius idea Azmira, way to go!

Except that they crawled out of the plastic bag. Syal said, 'Put minyak! Put minyak! So that it's too slippery they can't climb!", but then I was frantically spraying the bin with Ridsect and apparently, Ridsect has this oily substance so in the end they cannot climb out from the bin.

And then we sat there, watching maggots pouring down one by one and cheered every time a maggot fell into the bin, while eating yogurt.



*******
P/s: I started to think that this is a punishment for me because I made a promise with God that I would fast for a day if we got the house. It has been 4 months since we lived there and I havent fasted yet. So I think, it was a punishment from God for me, first was the Fungus Incident, and then now. Hmmmm.
