a cricket

something interesting happened for the past 2 nights... there's a cricket in my bedroom. on the first night, he started chirping 10 mins after lights off. i thought it was my imagination, 'cos he stopped when i switched on my reading light. eh? then the sound started again almost immediately after it was dark. i had to make a decision between sleeping with a light on and the cricket chirping, so i chose the former.

the second night, i totally forgot about the cricket till it started chirping... and i decided to switch on a small nightlight, which was effective in stopping the chirps. i was mildly surprised that he hadn't died yet. perhaps he's eating my furniture?

that guy is so small that i can't see it around, and yet the sound of its wings rubbing together is so loud! totally amazing! o_O!!!

p.s. i'll know if he's still around/alive after i go to bed later...
update: it's either dead or gone. perhaps i'll find it's body somewhere one day.
