badminton fun, killed a roach & yummy dinner

hello! it feels good to wake up to a saturday.. no one's home... sis has gone off to be her friend's 'sister' cos friend's getting married.... parents have gone off to send her there and then proceed to some polyclinic... so at 8am i'm all alone in the house.. feels nice... cos there's no noise and all... normally i like having my family around... just ask my sis and she'll tell you how much i pined away for my parents while they were in nz. but today... i just feel like being alone a little... decisions decisions decisions.... for me... family's view always weighs heavily... and often i feel obligated to change my decision just because they disagree. but ought i now?

anyway, i thank God for

1. a fun-and-water-filled badminton session yesterday... we took a train to clementi as there was time and five can't fit into a cab... but it started to pour when we were at buona vista... and when i saw pour... i mean it rained BIG tigers and wolves! it's like there were a million buckets overturning at the same time... my shoes were soaked right thru and even after more than 18 hours are still dripping... my shorts t-shirt all got wet... but i think it's one of those things that we'll remember forever... out of the five of us, only two had umbrellas.... so we went two at a time... i made a mistake of not taking the second umbrella with me when i went back to get our last person... oh well, but it did a good deed as huifen passed her umbrella on to someone else and as such one less person was drenched in the relentless downpour. The whole session was really fun.. just six of us so we played many matches... but the best was the last hour (which was free cos we didn't leave and no one came) and we tried all sorts of shots.... just stroking around.. it was fun despite me being the target of daffy's unintentional smashes at one time... lol...
   
2. after badminton the sixth person, ling and daffy's friend chien drove... so when deciding where to proceed for dinner, sneaky little me suggested tiong bahru market... heh! lol... but they agreed! amazing... so we had yummy hokkien mee, bbq chicken wings, chuee kueh, rat tails and sugarcane with lime, lime juice, soya bean and coke... of cos the drinks were all individiual lah.. everything else shared... i tried sugarcane with lime for the first time and i must say it's rather nice... must try again but must make sure got lime... cos i think i tried before when i was younger and no lime, no nice! hehehe...
   
3. oh oh oh and yes i killed a roach... a cockroach... poor chien shrieked in the middle of her shower... and i was already done (cos i decided to stay stinky and just have a powder bath) we asked what was wrong, and she said 'cockroach'... i turned to look at her cubicle and true enough i saw this naughty little pest running around her toilet... poor girl.. it's not like we could dash in or anything... so after more mini shrieks i asked her to wrap herself in a towel and come out and i'll help her get rid of the roach... so out she came and i asked for her slipper... the silly little fella was just sitting in a corner waiting for his death sentence... i sauntered over and thwack! no more... i'm sure i got it squarely on the head so it died and slipped thru the grills and that was the end of the roach... chien then proceeded with her bath... lol... she looked at me in awe and said 'you're so brave'... LOL.... ling of cos has to point out that i'm afraid of even cute creatures like hamsters but i dare kill a cockroach... 'well, i know i can just bash the cockroach on the head and it'll die... i can't bash a hamster when i'm afraid... so i scared lor...' i quip. hehehe...
4. the movie and fellowship time i'll be having with daffy adn lingy in less than two hours... ling mentioned the producers... it looks amusing.. and daff wanted to catch it too... so here i am... all dressed and ready to go out... gonna head for a leisurely breakfast alone with a good book soon... =)
   

so yeah... yesterday was a nice nice day... except maybe towards the end.... sigh... hope it works out... decisions decisions decisions...
