The Eight Legged Nightmare

One extra note. On the 14th, we were cleaning up the church. I was in charge of washing the air conditioner filters. I wash brushing them when Chin San called me to come down stairs. He said something of a big spider.

We searched at the toilet for anything crawling with eight legs. And voila, there it was. A big one with legs spread out as big as my hand. Sadly, I'm the only one around unafraid of insects or arachnids. C'mon who else in Kuala Terengganu keeps a pet scorpion at home. Grow up people, butterflies aren't the only arthropods on planet earth.

I know common house spiders rather flee than bite. And their fangs are too small to puncture human skin, and their poison is not fatal. I calmly pulled it onto my hands and let it loose outside.

So that concludes the story of our guest creeper. The guest with eight legs.
