the weekend.
sunday what a happening 3 days. seriously. all the shocks, the laughter and the crazy things we did in the residence. it all kicked off on friday night/saturday morning when our house had a power outage. so we were all running around trying to figure out how to turn the power back on until the taipower guy came. apparently the switchboard is in the basement. like what the hell?
and so saturday came. nothing much else happening except going out to do a bit of shopping, oakleys that cost a little more than 1/3 the price than in singapore, some tshirts and groceries. hunted for marilyn's camera as well. pretty quiet until...
sunday morning. housekeeper came, with us all in bed, she started vacuuming the place. got up and bummed around till the evening. went out to meet malvin together with james and shi en. went around playing those claw-grabbing prizes games (if anyone knows what i mean). caught a couple of stuff so it was pretty alright.
and for summer, it sure as hell rains alot and rains damn heavily too. what a spoiler. anyways, took a cab home and got pretty pissed with my upper-study for letting me 'discover' more shit he left behind for me to do. but either way, the shock of the week (perhaps even month) was to discover a spider the size of my palm, hairy legs and all (glances at marilyn and yeni. heh heh).
it was just above the headrest of my bed and stuck at the corner of the ceiling. funnily enough, jason thought that james and i bought a remote controlled spider from a night market and was playing with it.. until he realised that neither one of us were holding a remote control of sorts. and so began the comedy.
for guys who were trained to kill other people, trained to use sophisticated weapons, somehow we're not trained as to how to deal with palm-sized hairy spiders. the thought did cross my mind to use my airgun to shoot the spider but that probably would have caused a mess.
jason grabbed a tupperware that they used to store some durians and prodded alan to go catch the spider and he was like "what? just because i the highest rank ah?" and he burst out laughing. what the hell right? haha. by then the spider had ran across the ceiling to james's side of the room and was perched just above his pillow.
we used my floorball stick to direct it to the side of the wall and somehow it came "flying" down (more like fell off the wall?) and landed on james's bed. and for some strange reason, we all went crazy, burst out laughing and we all jumped away for fear of the spider attacking us (yes yes, what the hell..). but considering we were all wearing singlets/topless, you can imagine why. for combatants, we're surely afraid of one hairy spider. haha! ok. so was i. i mean. damn it. it was huge. like the size of my palm. if you include the legs it's definitely bigger. so yeah. and this time round i didn't have a rifle to smash the spider like how i did in BMT (when i dove for cover only to find a spider about 1/2 the size of my palm in my face. i drove the butt of my rifle into it and crawled on).
so now it's sitting inside the durian-smelling tupperware, in the living room. wonder what they plan to do with it. looking forward to wednesday. 2.30pm flight home. touch down at 7pm. and it's going to be a hectic rush to meet marilyn, maryann, james, serene and kieron all on wednesday night. i am positively in trouble. hoho. damn.
