Time really just flies by doesn't it? It's already early February. Where the hell did January go? Never really noticed it passing by. Anyway, since coming back to Kerteh on Tuesday, I've been busy as a bee. I encountered a really gross experience on Wednesday. I was preparing to bring out Awi's car for her to go to work and also to put Haziq into his car seat. To my disgust and horror, I saw a dead cat on the floor of the front passenger seat. Euuggh, it was soooo disgusting, with maggots, millions of them, I'm telling you. I almost cried when I saw it. Not because I pitied the cat. Noooo, I was angry at that stupid cat. Can't really recall when it quietly went into the car and I suppose died after being in there for 5 days. I almost cried because I knew then, that I had to remove and wash the car of all those disgusting stuff. Man, I know I can stand certain horrendous things but this one really takes the cake.
I called in to the office saying I'll be a bit late, that I had some problem with the 'car'. After sending Awi and Haziq, I drove back to the house and relunctantly changed into old clothes and mentally prepare myself for what I'll be going through. I kept thinking to one of the Fear Factor episodes which featured maggots and my knees went weak. The smell was so unbearable, took a deep breath and looked on how I was supposed to tackle this problem. First try was unsuccessful. I couldn't pull myself together. At the third try, only then I followed Nike's advice to Just Do It. I wore plastic bags around my hands and then collected the dead cat and put inside a garbage bag. Don't think it's still over. Nooo, there are the maggots to take care off. Man, I believe I can cry thinking back to what I had to endure. Never in my life I want to go through that experience again. Suffice to say and and to not delve into too much details of my sufferings, I decided to change the whole car carpet and properly clean the insides of the car.
I still wonder when that cat got into the car. Must be the night before when I was packing and preparing for the drive down to KL for the Aidiladha break. I do feel a bit sorry for the creature but not when I recall the horror I had to endure.
Okay lah enough of that story. I do still feel traumatised. The other day, I actually jumped when I saw a cat sitting beside me. Never done that before.....
