The first 1.5 hour went well. Working bee with the neighbours ended earlier than planned. The bed of leaves coasting the walkway and driveway look so welcoming with its new coat.
The second hour at my backyard, ditto. Raked all the dry leaves, picked up the branches and disposed them. The light breeze so cooling, the birds cooing. Thought to myself, hmm, not too bad.
Then the next hour came, and there I was weeding. Hmm went quite smoothly, weeds give in easily when you uproot them properly.
And then the moment crept in - I felt so grossed out I almost cried!
Garden snails and catepillars. One even ON ME!!!
The way they moved sends this odd, unpleasant tingling beneath my skin. More so when the snails "slimed" around and when the catepillars curled up into a ball. I'm positive I almost puked. Abandoned my work and came straight into the house.
No way, no way I'm going out there again.
Not alone.
PS: Green hands? Nuh-uh.
PSS: So Siu Jeh, dad would say.
