Fortune Favours the Brave (or Stupid)!
"Let's try that new route!"
With that, my intrepid sister and i decided to prolong what had been a mosquito infested trek about our northen mountains in a quest for rubber seeds. With trepidation (rather than the said sense of adventure) my sister, Tenacious T, followed me, Klutzy K, down this slippery slope of wet leaf liter in a new expedition; to find a northen route to Hillview Avenue.
Klutzy K's account:
We slipped and slid down slopes of rotting plant matter. One wrong step and we would have fallen head over heels into some hidden longkang at the bottom of the hill!
How oppressive it was in this jungle. We wondered if it was wise to proceed with this undertaking with naught but a plastic bag and mobile phone. Our non existent supply of water was...well, non existent. Neither did we bring any weapons to combat the swarms of enemies we encountered. Fortunately, they only wanted our blood. Unfortunately, there seemed to be an endless queue of them. Press on we did.
And there it was... a great cluster of rubber seed pods! The seeds themselves had to be somewhere! In fact, they were everywhere! We traded with the natives for them; our blood for their rubber seeds everytime we stopped to pick them from the floor. Those stupid buggers have no idea the worth of rubber seeds in the kingdom of Klutzy K. Couldn't believe the amount of treasure we were getting with just a little loss of blood.
Along the way, we also saw the remains of some fearsome creature. Several in fact, they were black and thorny and look to have fallen to their deaths from great height. Man, did they stink too! Even in death, they were lethal. Thankfully none of them felt like falling and inflicting on us the pain suffered by many before!
Wasn't long before we found the breeding grounds of the natives!! A huge pool of stagnant water in some old stonework! Yikes, all the babies were wriggling this way and that... Run Run Run before the guards come!!
Helpppppppp.... Argh...too late! (major blood drive for natives' bloodbanks)
---------------------------------------------------------
Ok ok, we both got back alright.
Went to play baddie in the arvo with Amy and her sister's friends and somehow managed to tap the shuttle straight into Anna's nose! Oh man...reminded me of Meet The Parents where Ben Stiller smashed the volleyball into a girl's face and broke her nose. In this case, Anna didn't lose any blood. Her nose just did a bit of a Rudolph impersonation.
Had dinner with sister and J at HV. Wanted to have sushi but it was too crowded... so we ended up at the usual place, Katong Laksa. Sis decided that girls should always stick together so the two of them combined forces on me through dinner. Win already lor!
Seems like we can't go to HV without making a stop at Cold Storage where i stocked up on my cup noodles and got 4 pet bottles of coke and root beer :) What a healthy diet! Ma, don't worry lah, will only have them at 3 in the morning! muahahaha
