The HDB Cockroach

Hi, my name is Jak Cockroach. Well of course Cockroach is my family name and we do come a long way back from the Dino era where my forefathers are still pretty much big in size! Wonder what happens after all these evolution do to us...

Humans, well most of them live in HDBs... They are apartments spreading over the entire island of Singapore, but usually very few of them hits over 25 floors up into the sky. We the pestanians, including cockroaches, ants, spiders, mosquitos, houseflies move in together with them but we stay in warmer corners of the apartments because we really can't tahan the darn cold air aka air-conditioner humans used to keep their freaky room cold.

Of course, living on a tropical island where summer is all year round, the only cooler times we get are rainy days or sometimes we prefer crawling across the malls' supermarket to chill ourselves down and tuck into the display of foods there...

Me and my families brought ourselves a simple decent 4-room HDB apartments in the West side of the island. With the decent payroll of just five OREO biscuits a month, and miserable bonus of another some pieces of dropped foods by the humans (if you are lucky to spot one before those hardworking ants). Water supply are toughen up these few years, humans are looking at every single drop of them closely and they even re-use and re-use and re-use them for many purposes! Bet they're on some tight budget too huh? Anyway, life here is good as we never get bored too easily unlike those local humans do.

I always hear them complaining the island is too small to have fun or not being allowed to do these or that... "Hey, we pestanians REALLY LOVE it and appreciate!" So much a facilities over on this big island, hmmm I'm still wondering why the humans always say this island is small? Dumb humans..... Well, so much for the brief introduction to the HDBs, next time I, Jak will bring you'll tour around some of the interesting corners of HDBs and never forgetting the funny acts of humans.....
Look at all the HDBs on this island...
