battle damage assessment.

thursday well. today's a public holiday in taiwan. some 228 thing that i can't remember what it's about now. and instead of heading to the office for work, everyone came to our residence for a pot luck. though it was to be for lunch only, everyone stayed on for dinner.

of course it's always nice to host people when they come over, especially if it's a whole big group where everyone knows each other and everyone's more or less comfortable with everyone else. the biggest headache were the kids. the small ones who run around and scream at the top of their lungs.

so yeah. off to war we went with the kids. we did what we could to reduce collateral damage to the residence. unfortunately in doing so, us young adults, presented ourselves as the only other "targets" for them. and so it all went downhill from the moment they came..

i had a door slammed in my face causing the nose bridge to break. i have a scratched lens on my replacement pair of spectacles. had my toes stepped on repeatedly. had my head whacked by a soft toy (which wasn't all that soft) till i had a migraine. all these over and above me trying to render medical assistance to the kids themselves for whatever nonsense that they did to each other.

but it's all over now. thankfully. the cleaning up was tiring. scratch that. extremely tiring. body's aching a little bit now and i'm very tempted to take off from work tomorrow just to sleep in late. haha! oh well. work first..

will be heading to luxy tomorrow night with kelvin, andy, ben, vivian, molly, calvin, gina and whoever else wants to come. need to chill out before everything becomes a blur the next couple of weeks..

for now, i need a mug of hot chocolate and some hello panda to munch on. hahaha!
