...continuation of the last entry...

     Ok, to feed the beetle, we took our science books out and there was this chapter on symbiosis, mentioning something about ladybugs and teritips. We came to the conclusion that a beetle was probably really close to a ladybug, and armed with this knowledge and encouragement, when the bell rang, we bounced to the nearest big tree in the skool and begin staring intently at it and muttering teritip related sentences as though we expected some teritips to start prancing around singing "Eat me". After growing a 3 foot beard but still getting no teritips, a voice chimed "How does a teritip look like?" Wow, good one, how does a teritip look like… We stood there like some kinda spastic old women staring at each other and talking to a tree before we realised that little flaw. Being the people we were we started roaring with laughter and pounded at the trunk of the tree sobbing happily before we realised we could be pounding the teritips to death. Anyway, out came the science book that described the teritip as some really ugly little creatures living IN the bark of trees.

            Armed with this knowledge and encouraged, we looked around for tools to scrape the bark of tree with. Seeing this really nice girl, I asked to borrow her cloth scissors (I didn't wonder at that time though, why a form 3 girl was stomping around skool with a pair of cloth scissors in her pocket) and after waiting patiently as she faded out of sight, I proceeded to mutilate the tree bark with it.

            After 20 minutes of murdering the tree, I almost gave up. We got our science books out again, and looked at the picture really hard, and saw the words… "Tidak dapat dilihat oleh mata kasar"(cannot be seen with the naked eye).

            Ok, let me see, I just spent 10minutes peering at a bark of a tree to realise that teritips live IN the bark. Stole a pair of cloth scissors to scrape the bark of the tree, did that for 20minutes, and found out that teritips CANNOT BE SEEN. I was probably scratching at a whole city of invisible teritips and they could be crawling all over me shopping in my hair, BUT I CANNOT SEE THEM.

I think this is a teritip...

Remind me again why I'm in school...

ps. nope... not teritip...
