vacuum

finally. the pestilence has been fully purged and i celebrated that occasion today by going training. i was contemplating which of the four ways i could get to the outdoor range in time. but the problem was, they all take roughly the same amount of time, except the fifth way which is to take a cab from home to range but thats out of the question. (:
finally, i decided taking a train to bishan and taking bus 13 to the range was the fastest. but i didnt factor in the jam at bishan? bleah. seriously. someone should invent a teleportation device thingy. Alex Chiu's one doesnt count. it probably doesnt work just like all his other inventions.

anyway, i did get to training on time (surprise surprise). but man, was it hot. i dont think i have ever sweated that much since OBS. not a single cloud in the sky for the first two hours. as a result, training was rather unproductive. to top it off, i lost an arrow. hee. *looks sheepish. so i decided to use the short distance board. i shot like six arrows, and went to retrieve them. OMGWTH! the board was like crawling with strange insects and stuff.
fang kang dubbed those boards as the "living boards" seriously, the straw was probably like decomposing and festering with bacteria. that would explain the stench.
lol. sped off to rj after training where i met alan and reuben. we went j8 for lunch and just talked alot before we parted.

you know, i was just thinking. i was always amazed by vacuum cleaners. i remember when i was a little kid, i used to put my hand on the vacuum cleaner and feel the suction force. but i was wary. i kept imagining myself getting sucked into the vacuum cleaner by accident. well, i'm not to amazed these days but i still dont know how they work.
which reminds me about what happened on saturday? there i was helping to vacuum my room. suddenly, the thing just turned off. i was like huh? i checked the power, and the plug was still plugged in. i tried turning it on again. no use. ermm. so what now? i was like standing there. suddenly, CRACK! POOF! (the sound was like something in between a poof and a bang but i dont know any word for that. do you?) a big black smog burst out of the back of the vacuum cleaner.
i felt pain. alot of pain on my foot. for a minute, i was like jumping on one leg (as if that helps) and like rapidly saying ouch!ouch! it seemed that the smog was very hot and bits of black particles sort off embedded on my right foot that was strategically positioned behind the vacuum cleaner. ouch.
the cleaner was discharging a very bad smell. something like a burning smell? and that attracted the attention of everyone else in the house.
luckily, nothing (except my poor foot) was burning and my mum quickly moved the vacuum cleaner outside the house to any smelly stuff escape outside and not inside our house.

well. how often do you cause a vacuum cleaner to explode? i have no idea how i did it either.

okae fine. i very n00b. cannot vacuum room without something exploding. something bad happened the last time i helped vacuum-ed my room. but i can seem to remember. well, i tell you that cleaner is jinxed. at least now its out of the house. but my foot is still very sore. me thinks it got scalded/heat damage or something. hah. until a new one is bought, its the traditional low tech broom and dustpan. surely nothing can go wrong there can it? guess what, it can.
let me explain. i was sleeping the floor today. after i came home, you know, help my mum and all. i placed the dustpan flat on the floor behind me and sat down for a break in the kitchen. enter my sister. i suan her. she get annoyed, tried to whack her. i too pro and agile to get his, step back to avoid her arm. WHAPOW! operating in pure bugs bunny cartoon style thingy, i stepped on the dustpan and it like fling up and hit me on the back. haha. not very pain, but rather embarrassing. you dont know what just happened? go watch a few cartoons with a rake and you'll get it.

haha. right. anyways. finally got around to watch TT Trouble in Tokyo. i must say, i feel rather sorry for BB. Why? haha. i wont say. but a single sentence i mentioned in one of my earlier posts a few months ago should put things in perspective. cant remember? too bad. serves you right for not reading my posts properly. the Rob and S relationship finally kicked off and i was like ermm. finally. haha. nvm. but R very bully leh. keep pwning BB. judging by personalities of various characters, i declare that Trouble in Tokyo took place after the middle of Season 4 and before Season 5. since R was exceptionally angst, me thinks it was before the big finale of Season 4. hee. i guess no one is interested? hmm.

Oh? Who is BB? go figure. hee.
