Call it blasphemy, call it masochistic. For everything that men look for in a woman, Ray Charles said it best. Probably he was the only one who could. You can't say no to a blind man. It's rude.

It's raining season in KL, and this time around, lighting strikes more often than luck.
It was raining and I noticed the modem had direct connection to the phone line. So I bypassed the connection to a lightning arrestor. The moment I plugged in the last connection in the line, the sky went CRACK! BOOM! OPOCOTMAKKAU! and the lighting arrestor flickered in tandem.
Nasib baik. Only the arrestor got toasted. The modem is in one piece and working perfectly.
The lesson is, use the lighting arrestor. Save your money from needing to buy a new modem. Gunalah duit tu nak beli minyak kereta dengan beras.
There is an exclusive group of people who can come up to anyone and say "wei, ko pernah tengok scorpion beranak?" And yesterday evening was the moment when I became part of that select group of people.
Yes, Ladies and gentlemen. I have witnessed the birth of scorpions. Scorpionssssss if I may say it correctly. Apparently no sperm cells go to waste as far as scorpion's reproduction is concerned. Mama scorpion literally gave birth to dozens of baby scorpions (scorplings??).
I've included some photos, and if you want to hold your lunch down, I suggest you come back later.
Scorpion sanctuary. Don't worry. This is the feeding tank. There's a larger leisure sandbox for the scorpion to be certified organic.
Mama scorpion from the outside. Note the striking stance and dozens upon dozens of scorplings on top of and under the mother.
Blur closeup of mama scorpion and her babies.
Detailed closeup. Ooh is that an impending vomit I'm sensing?
Mama scorpion wasn't too happy with the flash.
The most active scorpling of the pack. This dude's agility earned him the name Babi, named after the phrase "weh babi terrer gila dia ni panjat dinding". Now we only have to come up with 35 other names. Suggested names are Gila Lah, Sial Lah, Fulamak, Siod, Fuiyo and Pergh.
The proud father of these babies is Hanif, who embraces the lifestyle of ultra-modern men by running away upon learning the birth of his babies. He was at home when they were born, but left promptly and is still MIA at the time of writing. Woi balik la rumah, bagi susu kat anak.
Mama scorpion and her babies are now safe in the hands of Uncle Rizal and Uncle Tawil (frankly, I'm not sure who actually requires the rescuing).
p.s: No attempt was made in concealing the identities of the individuals mentioned.
