i was watching amazing race on tv with my brother, and getting very engrossed, when suddenly i saw a big black object fly past me. it swooped in from the window and continued to fly and hover around the ceiling. out of natural defensive response, i ducked under the coffee table for cover while screaming. my brother, on the other hand was jumpin on the chair excitedly tryin to catch it.

i was tryin to make out what it was, and lo and behold! it was a bat! a bat in my house! there's a bat in my house!! ha pardon my excitement.. i mean, its not everyday that i get a real blood-sucking (okay lah mayb its not a blood-suckin bat, more like a fruit bat) bat in my house!

it flew around the living room, then into the dining area, then back to the living room where it finally settled on the wall fan. by then i had already stopped screaming and my brother stopped jumpin around too.

i was wondering why a bat would fly at such an altitude, since i live on the eighth floor. and my dad suggested that maybe it was being chased by an owl. poor bat.

but hey, it made my night quite exciting. :)
