Learn Cantonese Through Diary?|7.4 曱甴 Cockroach

寻cam4晚maan5训fan3得dak1一jat1啲di1都dou1唔m4好hou2，

Last night, I didn’t sleep well.

因jan1为wai6临lam4训fan3前cin4，

Because before bed, 

我ngo5见gin3到dou2一jat1隻zek3大daai6曱gaat6甴zaat2走zau2入jap6我ngo5间gaan1房fong2

I saw a big cockroach sneaking into my bedroom.

我ngo5下haa6意ji3识sik1大daai6叫giu3，

I cried out subconsciously

我ngo5家gaa1姐ze1提tai4醒sing2我ngo5，

My sister reminded me that

千cin1祈kei4唔m4好hou2擘maak3大daai6个go3口hau2

Don’t open your mouth

佢keoi5飞fei1入jap6嚟lai4就zau6死sei2喇laa3

Or you will be regreted if it flies insides

我ngo5周zau1围wai4搵wan2杀saat3虫cung4水seoi2

I was looking for the pesticide everywhere.

但daan6係hai6都dou1搵wan2唔m4到dou2。

But I can’t find it

（我ngo5今gam1日jat6一jat1定ding6要jiu3去heoi3买maai5两loeng5支zi1返faan1嚟lai4看hon1门mun4口hau2)

I swear that I must buy two more today in case

佢keoi5飞fei1到dou3好hou2高gou1。

It flew so high

家gaa1姐ze1决kyut3定ding6攞lo2出ceot1，佢keoi5嘅ge3终zung1极gik6武mou5器hei3—拖to1鞋haai2

My sister decided to take out her ultimate weapon-slippers

于jyu1是si6我ngo5哋dei6两loeng5个go3一jat1齐cai4掟deng3拖to1鞋haai2。

Then we threw slippers together

掟deng3咗zo2五ng5六luk6次ci3，佢keoi5终zung1于jyu1飞fei1落lok6嚟lai4，

We casted about 5-6 times. It finally landed.

但daan6係hai6我ngo5太taai3惊ging1喇laa3，睇tai2唔m4到dou2佢keoi5飞fei1去heoi3边bin1度dou6

But I was too scared. I can’t see where it was

我ngo5哋dei6搵wan2佢keoi5搵wan2咗zo2十sap6五ng5分fan1钟zung1，

We looked for it for 15 mins

见gin3佢keoi5冇mou5蒲pou4头tau4。

We could see it out

我ngo5哋dei6决kyut3定ding6整zing2啲di1嘢je5食sik6引jan5诱jau5佢keoi5

We decided to make a trap to lure it.

我ngo5仲zung6点dim2埋maai4蚊man1香hoeng1

I also light a mosquito-repellent incense.

好hou2彩coi2佢keoi5最zeoi3后hau6畀bei2我ngo5嘅ge3蚊man1香hoeng1攻gung1落lok6嚟lai4。

Luckily it comes down because of my irrirating incense.

畀bei2我ngo5哋dei6处cyu5理lei5咗zo2佢keoi5

We dealed with it
