today was crazy.
when i went home, my mom told me that there was a mouse in the house.
apparently it had been climbing in through the kitchen window and terrorizing both my mom and the maid today morning. but it disappeared in the afternoon, before i got home.
so anyway, we bought a mouse trap.
(i think the mouse must have been hiding in my neighbours house. cos hes a bachelor n his back storeroom was seriously full of junk. but hes renovating the store roon now, so the mouse probably decided to take refuge or smthng in our house. a mouse in the house. ew)
so, when i got home, i went to sleep. my usual afternoon nap. on the couch downstairs. n my mom was watching the badminton on channel 85.
then suddenly, she woke me up n said the mouse had run behind the tv cabinet!!
(thats more effective than an alarm clock, seriously)
so, me n my maid each took a broomstick, n my mom went halfway up the stairs while we got ready to tackle the mouse.
and thats when all hell broke loose.
so we were whacking the tv cabinet lightly in order to scare the mouse out.
and well, it got scared out.
it darted across the hall, almost out the open front door, then changed its mind and ran halfway up the staircase, past my mom, and then changed its mind again, n decided to perfom some crazy suicide attempt, by jumping from there back to the ground floor, then ran across the hall all over again, and then past the front door, and then took a detour to the second hall, and went n hid behind the piano.
phew.
and all this time, we were chasing it with the aforesad brromsticks, and we fell all over the furniture, and there was a lot of screaming and shouting going on.
think of wat u see in cartoons, and multiply the humour factor by about 10. seriously.
okay, so now the mouse was behind the piano, rite?
so that gave us a few minutes to plan our extermination strategy.(that IS the word u use, rite?)
so first of all, we moved all the furniture out from the second hall, so we wouldnt fall all over it like we did earlier.
all excpet the piano, obviously.
then we knocked the side of the piano lightly.
all was still.
we knocked it again.
and again.
and again.
until suddenly, the mouse scampered out, and the whole mad chase started again.
it ran out from the piano, and under my dad's office table, back under the piano, and then to the table, before finally scampering out the french windows, and out of the house.
FINALLY.
so we went outside, to make sure the mouse wasnt hiding anywhere in the garden.
and then we went back in, n kept the doors and windows closed for the next 3 hours.
and then we moved all the furniture back.
and then..
we sat and laughed like mad cows for a full 10 minutes.
like i said, my family is pretty dysfunctional.
oh. the mouse trap wasnt much use.
hehe.
and i may not be all that fond of mice anymore.
OH.
AND. i saw my baby cyclops today.
about SIX times.
im announcing it to the whole world. hehe.
omg, i tot i could actually try and get over him.
but the moment he smiled at me, i just fell all over again.
damn.
this is sad.
sigh.

and i dont even know WHAT to study.
bloody hell.
pray for me!! :P
