I guess this is my biggest fear so far!

There is something I need to share with you. I’m a girl who is so afraid of insects. I hate insects!!! But wait a minute….come to think of it, what’s haunting me now is a lizard that is making a living in my car ever since I came back from a 2 weeks Biz trip to Japan. It’s a reptile!!

I recently had a lizard (a medium-sized, brown skinned with spots on its body) that ran into my car. As what most men said “they are harmless, just drive!!” Who doesn’t know? But there is this fear that is so overwhelming when the lizard came near me!! While driving on the highway today, the monster came out of nowhere looking right in front of me at the driver’s side. Damn!!! I panicked and shouted like nobody’s business. I almost lost the steering wheel and lose control of my car. I even stopped by the emergency lane twice this morning. I tried to knock at the monster with my steering-lock from the passenger’s seat. But it hid back to somewhere behind the gap :’( I made calls. But in the end, I knew there’s nothing much I could do, I forced myself to drive with the window wide opened. Journey to the office never felt that far. When I reached the office carpark, my neatly tied hair was already messy. What a Monday!!

Now, what worries me is the journey back home later. I can’t live with this condition!!
Someone please help!! Are there any sure fire ways of getting rid of it?

My colleague gave me an idea of putting a burning stuff that produces lots of smokes (usually use in temples and to get rid of mosquitoes/bees). That miracle thing called “Kam man yin”. I called my mum right away to get it from the market. I will burn that thing (of course in a ceramic mug) and put it in my car with windows opened a little tonite. I hope the monster will get out of my car! (*fingers crossed).

Suddenly, I imagine my car in thick smoke; the neighbours must have thought my car is burning!! Let’s hope not. I don’t want to create havoc. I just want that lizard out!!!
