mum's the new hero

Monday, February 01, 201010:06 PM

this entry is dedicated to my mum and her bravery!

the heroine mother saved me from distress.

it may be a minor one to many.

but definitely not to me.

i was happily bathing away in the comfort of a warm fuzzy shower when i saw a pair of inverted feelers swaying left and right like a windscreen on rainy days.

and it took like a few seconds for me to register that in between the sliding door of my shower area lies my most feared enemy.

so i thought its okay. i can bear through the entire shower as long as it stays there.
and that was when it (bloody hell) slowly shifted to the exit of the sliding door gap.

and holly shit.

i freaked out, grabbed my towel and wrapped it around me, took out my toothbrushes and contact lense casing and rushed for The Mightly Insectide that was strategically placed just beside my worktable for emergency purposes. (We used to keep it downstairs in the maid's room, which seems like 95798734528 miles after retrieving it. and then the worst nightmare is when u lost sight of the enemy)

So i rushed back into the toilet and sprayed TONNES of insectide into the gaps and every single exit it tried to run out from. and then i was choking from the overwhelming gases that i had to retreat into my bedroom.

thats why my saviour since young popped into my mind and i just had to give her a call.

"COCKROACH!"

And the response i did not expect was "HAHAHAHAHA"

"BATHROOM!"

"HAHAHHAHAAHA. big or small?"

"VERY BIG!!!" and i described the entire scene to her.

that was when my yet-to-be heroine knocked on my door.

so half shrieking there is a cockroach around and triying to hold up my slipping towel while dripping wet with my handphone clasped in between my shoulder and cheek, i was trying very desperately to get her help.

but my mum just stood there, completely ignoring my pleas and pathetic sight and repeated what she wanted to tell me: "When Pa Pa comes back, remember to reverse the red car out before letting him park his car inside. If not tomorrow I have to get him to wake up to change the car."

-.- seriously, i have never seen her so calm and aloof about something. and the worst thing was that she was turning her back against me, leaving for her room.

that was when i knew i had to make it more obvious. so i complained VERY loudly to my sister over the phone that our mum was ignoring me when i am turning crazy. and it somehow worked. WOOHOO.

she initially refused to come in because of the deadly insecticide smell she claims (and i admit it could be very true) that she cant take in too much of that smell or it is v v harmful for eldery like her.

But knewing how badly i needed help to kill that creepy crawler, she risked it and searched high and low for that stupid idiot. only to emerge out with the dead creature trapped between her two fingers.

THREE CHEERS FOR THE MOTHER! (:

Of course, i cheered for her throughout the entire battle, and post event-showered her with plenty of praise and exclaimed out loud that i love her.

hahahahhaha, you never know when i need her help again. heh. especially with the two males being overseas and sis being on her month end peak.
