Xiaoqiang comes visiting!

It was twelve midnight that 'he' came along. A wayward shock when i found 'him' crawling up the table situated 10cm away from me! Longish, and a little less than dark brown, that damned roach was slim and equipped with wings that allows 'him' to take flight. Of course, I gotta put up my defenses. The strategy formulated was one without hesitation: RUUUUUUNNN & HIIIIIDDDEEE! 三十六计走回上计。

Almost immediately i jumped out of my seat and make sure i m at least 100cm away from that horrible creature! 'He' happily crawled up the 100cm tall cupboard and up it jumped to the wall and did a further 80cm sprint to reach the top of a stack of 6 boxes. 'He' took a sniff for about 5 secs and started off his journey of 200cm to reach at the tyre of my brother's bike. After deciding that there ain't much to explore there, 'he' took a turn and ran towards me! I know, chasing after me is definitely more fun than circling around a blackish-colored wheel. Hey roachie, can't you take on somebody your same size?! :(

This repeated twice. The 2nd time was worse when i was cornered by 'him' in the kitchen. Yesh, 'he' took me one round in the living room before pushing me into the space next door. I had to jump above him to get 'him' off my back. But a third time 'he' came for me. That's it! 'He' won the game. I ceded my territory to 'him' and retreated to my room.

Who says the good will always triumph?
