Parable of the 5 cockroaches

Ahmad, Ali, Faizal, Hoirul and Kamaruddin are 5 cockroaches. One day they decided to move their home to Blk 410 rubbish chute. As they cannot take it that people are throwing rubbish down at their faces literally, they decided to climb up to the top. As they climb and climb, they saw some light and decided to creep into a HDB unit that has a gap at the bin.

As they got in, they were so happy and started enjoying themselves to the food and drinks. They roamed around like no cockroach's business. Suddenly, the owner came back and switched on the lights.

Ahmad who was on the kitchen table tried to run and the owner tried to scare him away. Then it was Ali who was at the fridge. When the owner open the fridge, Ali courageously ran into the fridge and hid behind the ice maker. The owner had a hard time trying to lure him out. As the owner tried, the ice box dropped and Ali ran to the floor. Faizal on the other hand, was hidding amongst the clothes and as Faizal usually eats a lot, he was an obese personnel. Nevertheless, the owner spotted him.

While trying to look for the insecticide, the owner spotted Hoirul who was at the computer table and also Hoirul was just trying to flap his wings. Then there was Kamaruddin as well who was at the kitchen cabinet.

The owner was furious and threw newspapers at them. Then out came the insecticide. As it was for mosquitoes, the owner had no choice but to spray this useless insecticide at Ali and he made his way pass the fridge area to the next insecticide. This time, the owner got hold of the stronger insecticide. He started firing at will and before too long, the bottle of insecticide was totally expended. 1 mag of 30 rounds was clearly not enough. 2 bottles were used and the whole house was filled with insecticide. The owner went to bathe but still the smell was overwhelming. It was a Mansionette but it was still extremely smelly upstairs. The owner decided to bring a laptop to a nearby 24 hr Mac and recorded this incident on his blog.

End of report.

Well, that's because in my workplace, we have a majority of malay staff. when it comes to random names, I think malay names come easier to the mind since I see them daily
