I have an “adventurous” night last night. Why did I place open and close inverted commas for the word “adventurous”? Because it is not at all an adventurous one (at least to me).
Well, last night after I reached home (tired) after my part-time job at MediaCorp, I rest for a while (which I always did) before I went for a shower at around 11.30pm (+/-). After that, I watched a while TV and was planning to turn in after I read all my letters when I saw some stupid little creature flying in from my living room window.
I knew something was not right when I saw that creature, and after I saw the size and how it flew, I concluded is the creature in my “most hated list” – the cockroach. Yucks to the core.
A reaction as per normal, I ran off my living room couch towards the kitchen (which the lights were off). Stayed in the kitchen (bathroom with the doors tightly close to be actual) for like almost ½ an hour before I got the courage to open the door and walk out slowly to investigate whether that stupid little creature is.
So I took a step at a time to walk nearer and nearer to the living room (with eyes looking all around, making sure it’s not somewhere near), and pop my head out from the walk along the small little path way towards my living room from my main entrance to see where exactly the disgusting creature is. To not avail, I am not able to location it. Hence, I wanted to plan to get my mobile phone (which was right at the center of my long 3 seater couch) before I can plan my route of running to my bedroom. Before I could think of a good way to get my phone, I saw something flying around in the living room again and it’s that stupid creature again. As normal, I jumped and wanted to see where it has flown to (hoping very hard that it doesn’t fly to my room). Not long after, it flew towards my direction and I ran again to the same place (bathroom with the door tightly closed) and waiting for another 20 minutes or so (I think).
While waiting, I was planning should I just go take the phone and off the TV and running towards my room and switch off the light of my living room (which was just outside my room) and turn in with blankets up to the top of my head. But was scared that the cockroach will appear again. But well, this time round I took the insecticide from my kitchen and a cane on my right hand and walked slowly out to the living room to see if the cockroach is still around. Again, to no avail.
I stopped at the same location investigating for a while (thinking at least if it appears I still have time to react). Later on, thinking through, if I continue to wait and don’t do anything and later on the creature appear, I will not have the chance to run to my bedroom, so I took a deep breath and walked super fast to grab my mobile phone, off the TV console, switch off the light and run to my bedroom with my blankets covered to the top of my head.
Little did I know, I was breathing very hard (with shock plus relieve) coz I didn’t know that I have such courage to do such thing (even though I took almost 2 hours to conquer my courage).
And today, I am super lethargic and tired. Thanks to the disgusting little creature – The Flying Cockroach.
In the afternoon I went to meet up with big boss at Expo area for cheque signing. As I was super hungry, I took the MRT to Airport for a good meal of Popeyes at Terminal 3 before I head to Marina Square to do an exchange in the Homeview Motion Capture Camera that a customer have brought back to the store for exchange.
After which, I planned to go to work for my part time, however I was far too tired to even get myself awake, hence I went straight home, and well sleep all the way on the bus home from town.
Yawnz… I need my sleep badly now… Goodnight guys!!!
