Mozzie Action

Rrriiinnnggg!!!

There goes my alarm at 6.30am...Today is Saturday but I don't get the luxury of sleeping late today...Gotta get up for the 'Carpet Combing' exercise today.

Reached the meeting point near Bt Gombak MRT at 7.4oam. Thank god it's just five bus-stops from my house else I would be really late.
Finished my box of breakfast but the exercise didn't start till an hour later.

Armed with larvacide (insecticide targeting at larva), torchlights, and other essentials, our team of four members proceeded to cover the 12 blocks assigned to us.
It was quite slow initially but after some warm-ups, things speeded up for us later.

By 11am, we were back at the meeting point again. Everything went smoothly though it rained for a while and it was really humid. Our team only managed to find a open container which contains wriggling larva, so we took a sample of it (using a pipette & vial provided) before someone came to take a snapshot as evidence. It was said that the larva could be 4-5days old, so I've got no idea how no one could have possibly miss such a big ice-cream tupperware which had collected water for so long!!

It wasn't really that tough...the only complaint is that I had to sacrifice my beauty sleep...*yawns*
Now it's time for the dreamland...zzZZzz
