Bed Bugs! I hate them!
It has been a long time since I last update my blog. Main reason being: Getting rid of a blood sucking bug called bed bugs. Heard of 'Sleep tight and dun let bed bugs bite'? In Singapore, in the comfort of our own beds, bed bugs are the last thing that we would expect to see, not to mention bitten!

Both Hazel and I were bitten badly.. We suffered bites for abt 1 week before the pest control company was called in by the agent and landlord to exterminate them! Take a look at the seriousness of our bites. The bites were soooooo irritatingly itchy. Itch that you would never expect to be tahan-able!

Face, hands, legs, feet, soles, even my ears were not spared!

Before the pest control company came down, both Hazel and I had to be the temporary bed bug killers so as to minimise the possibility of bites at night (3am is the time they are most active!). We covered the mattress with whatever plastic we could get hold of and scoured the carpet for bedbugs. It was torture! We would wake up in fear in the middle of night, sometimes in turns to see if we manage to catch any bugs on our bed.

We caught quite a number but these bugs procreate at an amazing speed and they are SMALL, FLAT and really have a thirst for blood. The ones we caught would spurt blood when we squeeze them. Scary right? Here is how the bugs look like and where they may be on mattress...

Really such a BAD experience we had. Such a bad start for our stay in Sydney, Australia.

First, a painting that missed our skulls and then BED BuGS!

At least, things can only get better and both of us just wanna get over it. Enuff said, it is officially over when I write this entry. The pest control company came a second time 2 days ago as Kevan's bed was infested with bed bugs too... The infestation of bed bugs in his room was worse but he was just only bitten 1 week after both Haz and I were bitten. But he was relatively unscathed, just few bites...

Okok.. enuff of bed bugs, made me itchy whenever i reviewed the photos and the marks on myself and Haz. Poor gal.. I'm so 心痛 lo..
BUT, despite our unlucky streak so far in the house, we did enjoy ourselves during the last 2 weekends. Just a quick summary...

- We went KTV! $10 per head for 3 hrs + 1 free drink, no GST, no tidbit charge, good sound system, new songs!
- Visited our grand-aunt and uncle again and they brought us to Cabramatta - a Vietnamese suburb.. Ate beef noodles which taste good! (but I still dun really like beef la... has a bit of taste which I just dun really like la.. haha.. BUT the 烧肉 that we were treated was wonderful! haha..)
- Lots of marketing! At Broadway, Paddy Market, Chinatown, Bankstown, etc... Is good fun doing marketing and trying to visualise how we are gg to whip up meals for the weekends and even weekdays...

Will update this blog again soon with more interesting stories of our travels within Sydney for the upcoming weeks.

BEfore I end off, work over here in Sydney is comparable to Singapore. NOT SLACK at all! Worked till 830pm daily and stil need to work at home at nights and even on weekends (Sunday afternooon and night...) Sianz la.. not much balance as thot we would have... hopefully things wil get better! Cheers!
