We woke up very early in the morning and had our breakfast. Right after that we went back to our rooms to rest and do our business for abt 1hr and then we checked out off the hotel. Mum and dad [as usual, the organizers of the vacation] had planned to go to the nature reserve park in Johore, but mum realised that we were in the wrong nature reserve park after I had leeches. We were at the wrong park; some kind of hardcore trekking park, to be precise. First we went to the park which has an ultimately beautiful river. Such beautiful river, but not the best I've seen (been seeing a lot of waterfalls & rivers since I was young so now it's not really a big deal for me).
AHHH!!! Mama!!! Abah!!
That was what I screamed the moment I saw the leech. Awesomely panicked. I shook of my foot to get rid of it, and of course it didn't fall off but my shoe fell off my foot instead. My shoe flew off and fortunately my uncle managed to catch it before it fell into the water. My uncle tried to pull it off my foot, but can't. Then my cousin swept it off with his hand at luckily it dropped off. Fortunately the leech haven't suck my blood that much so there was just a tiny red dot.
It wasn't the kind of those big, fat leech. It was the kind of really thin leech; about the size of a string, and when it moves, it stretches itself till about 5cm? And then once in a while it will stop and stand itself on the ground roughly about 3cm. I guess it's the way it detect for it's victim. After finish sucking blood, it will get fatter, about 3-4cm wide. It will turn black when sucking/ after sucking blood but it use to be brown.
while raising both her hands in the air.
Next I heard my cousin screaming. She could feel 2 leeches climbing up her legs. My aunt [her mum] quickly ask her to take off her trousers. Luckily the place was deserted, so she wasn't that shy to do so. One of the leech was caught, by the other was missing. She felt it somewhere near her butt. She vomited cause she didn't feel well. We all checked ourselves to see if there were anymore leeches especially me. I checked; and I couldn't spot any.
Then we had our lunch. While we were at the carpark and walking to the food place [warung], I checked my shoes and then suddenly a big, fat, black thingy fell off my legs, followed by blood. This was the part I realised that I'm kind of a dramatic queen [awtah]. I fell back to the ground, and suddenly I was already seated at the carpark. I rolled up my jeans and there was a large patch of blood oozing out of my leg. My jeans were already covered with some blood. I felt dizzy. My aunt which was near me quickly stepped on the leech cause it might find another victim whe it'll feel hungry later on. And yesss, once she stepped on it, blood from the leech flow out of it. MANY blood. I was having a bloody leg when I was eating. It couldn't stop bleeding for at about 2-3 hours. After eating, most of us went to the surau right beside the eating place to pray. Mum asked me to take off my jeans at the surau, just incase there's more leech. As I took it off, there was another leech but it was already dead.
Looks like I've accidentally smashed it while it was sucking my blood under my jeans. Then again, I fell onto the ground;and already seated. SO dramatic. "Oh my God, you're so retarded". That was what my 2nd sis said when I fell for the third time. There was so much blood on the underside of the jeans. Thought of taking a shot of it since I didnt get to take a shot of my leg, but a day after we were back in Singapore, I realized mum had washed the jeans.
Oh yeah, a day after we were back in Singapore, my cousin who was also attacked by the leeches had a stomachache so she made her business and guess what. She had past off a leech. It was already inside her body. The leech was dead, and FAT. My cousin couldn't sleep at night, thinking of what my cousin, who works as an army. He told my cousin and I to see the doctor cause in some cases, the leech could breed while sucking our blood and this would lead to pregnancy. Imagine that you have a big tummy just because leeches is breeding inside you. And yes, this has happened before according to my cousin.
The next day I came to school at 10.10 am cause I went to see the doctor. Lucky me. The doctor said the kind of leech that had bitten me is not the kind of leech that will breed on skin, or body of a human. He asked if I could go to school, and I stupidly said 'yes'. I was wearing school uniform, cause dad said I can still attend school and so, I was listed as a latecomer on that day. I was told to meet DM after school so I looked for him after my chinese class to sort things out. I told him why I was late and haha, he was so funny. Out of the blue he told me ways to get rid of a leech and how to prevent it. I was then excused from being late! yess. This is the owner signing off.
