Spider sighting

I just saw my first ever Singaporean spider. It was near the front door to our office and I nearly walked through it. Thankfully I saw it before any damage was done to either me or it. As I am not a fan of spiders I didn't stick around long enough to see what kind it was. Anyway, seems a bit odd that I have been here now for so long and have just come across a spider. Other than ants and mosquitoes there aren't a lot of bugs here. At least not that I have seen. I shall now respectfully keep my distance from Mr/Ms Spider and am hopeful it will do the same.
