COCKROACH!

July 16, 2009 · 10 Comments

Since the toilet in my parent’s room is not in use, it has become a changing room for my mum and myself. Yesterday night, I did my usual preparation before I go to bed. Took out the clothes that I am going to wear for the next day so that I can hang it in the toilet.

A small, dark form in my parents’ room, parked inches away from the doorway, stopped me dead in my track. Xuan’s blog pop into my mind instantly. I find the situation so hilarious when I was reading her blog. Now that the damn cockroach is right in front of me, I don’t find it as funny anymore. :(

Unlike Xuan, I do not have the courage to even look at the damn thing. I did what I usually do – I ran out screaming: 有蟑螂! I think I am luckier than Xuan because my parents are not asleep yet.

Armed with a can of Shiedox and a broom, my parents scrambled into the room to try and catch that damn thing. My mother tried her hand at killing the damn thing by spraying at it. Unfortunately, that damn creature actually flew and landed on their bed. Now, that is disgusting! I hope I don’t have to sleep on a bed which has been scarmbled across by a cockroach before.

Anyway, my brother who is standing nearby, did something out of extraordinary. He actually used his bare hand to catch the damn thing… literally. On a side note, he has a plastic bag over his hand. However, to me, he did such a brave thing. The little boy who use to run screaming with me, the little boy who use to use me as his shield whenever such creatures are in sight can evolved into someone so brave. That very night, my impression of him went a notch higher. My Hero! :D

I went to re-look at Xuan’s blog and I have to totally agree with her. The criteria that my husband has to be brave enough to catch any bugs or disgusting creature is STILL VALID AND EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. I don’t think I want my husband to run screaming along with me.

Dearie… Are you looking at this?  Please morph yourself into some super bug or creatures’ destroyer / catcher. I will love you even more for this. :)

Happy 17th Monthniversary

July 13, 2009 · 6 Comments

Was home alone on Saturday morning. Because my brother couldn’t get me  tickets to watch his commencement. So sad, can? I was hoping to be there to cheer for him. :(

Dearie, being the nice BF he always is, got me prawn noodles and came over to my place so we can have breakfast together.

I have been pestering him over the weeks for my letter because our monthniversary is over and I have yet to receive one. That sneaky fellow threw in a surprise yet again for me.

While I was busy in the kitchen, getting ready to go out with him, that boy planted his hand-written letter underneath my blanket. Throughout the day, I did my best to pester him for my letter.

That night, as usual, he will send me a msg telling me he is home safely. But now with a newly, added statement of  “记得盖被。”Not his usual way of saying good night.  I should have gotten suspicious. I should have gone to my bed and flip over my blanket to check. But, I was too tired and it didn’t occured to me that the boy had planted a surprise for me.

When my hair finally dried and I scrambled off to bed, the surprise fell out of the blanket when I was preparing to sleep.

Dearie.. That was really sneaky but sweet of you to plant that lovely surprise for me. Love you! :)

Busy Period

July 10, 2009 · 2 Comments

Tings was right! Cobweb is growing on my blog… :D Have been an awfully busy period for me… Both with work and something personal.

Somehow, this period is not so draining as I thought it would be. In fact, I welcomed this busy period. Will continue to be blissfully busy for the next few months… :) So people, I may not be a frequent blogger for now. :D
