I hate Fire Centipedes. I hate them. Hate, hate, hate, hate.
Most of you will probably be laughing at the idea. Mr. Nocturnal Excursions himself, afraid of a small, innocent centipede?
Small and innocent my arse! Fire Centipedes or Lipan Bara is a huge, red, many- limbed freak of nature. The two (yes two!) that I saw last night was at least 30 cms long, with the tail armed with a 1 cm-long double sting.
Your common garden centipede, the ulat gonggok, I have no problem with. But the lipan bara is another story. There I was in Sg. Penchala, surveying potential Frogging sites and suddenly from under a rock they both came out, crawling towards me like some mutant nightmare creature.
So I did what any other entomologically adverse person would do. I legged it, whilst screaming obscenities at the both of them.

I guess I'm ok with the little creatures, I'm more afraid of the monkeys in our carpark.
babe - hey, snakes are cool.. had one as a pet until I got married.
SF - snakes are not cool. we had pythons visiting us one time. i very nearly touched some snakes too!!! itu snake tarak hidup lama after that.
Babe - we had an Albino python and an Iguana in my bachelor pad. Very chilling pets. Oh ya, we also had white mice (the snakes food).
*goes green on the thought of snakes, phythons, gonggok and the scary red lipans*
SF - thank god you are not a bachelor anymore.
*meremang bulu apa apa yg ada thinking of the various close shaves with snakes in, of all places, Singapura bandar metropolitan*

When i was standard 6, the teacher was rummaging a boy's schoolbag for his homework. (the boy was not in the class) and then suddenly, the teacher screamed so loud! and we all saw that huge lipan 'ran' out of the bag.*shudders*
the boy said, it was his pet..

In Episode 3 of Fear Factor Msia which will be showing soon, in the 2nd stunt: with one of their hands and both of their feet padlocked, contestants had to find the right key which was placed together with 4 other decoy keys in a box filled with huge centipedes. at the same time, their HEAD was placed in a plastic box filled with scorpions.
scary ok? if it were to be either you or me, mesti dah terkencing.
