Last Exciting Moments in France

As we speak, (oops I mean as I type) I am eating from a bucket of Haagen Daz. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgen Daz. Yes! Yes! Be envious of me for I am in France!

Anyway, it's like about 12am when it happened. I decided to try out the LED Copter thingy I bought when we were in Paris. It works like a slingshot. Pull back, release and it shoots upwards. The Blue LED on it reflects onto the 2 fluorescent strip of plastic then rotates when it starts coming downwards and so it looks pretty cool.

My sister and I went outside to find some open space (which wasn't much) to have a shot at it. Mum tagged along with us to have a look-see. Took us a few minutes to actually get it right and when I DID get it right, I accidentally shot it over the fence into our neighbour's yard...

LIKE WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF THAT HAPPENING. Lol actually we all had a feeling that it would end up somewhere. There wasn't really much space outside.

We went around to the front of his yard hoping that there wasn't gate. Unfortunately there was one. An iron gate just below chest height with some green light and and some sort of mini camera inside the pillar next to the gate. I was pretty sure it was an intercom system to communicate with the house since it the house was quite a distance away from the gate itself. Oh did I mention it was pitch dark as well so we couldn't tell if they had some guard dog or not. (The dogs here are HUGE. Like MASSIVE What do they feed them man?!) As I debated with my sis the best way to scale the gate and back, I could hear my mum's worried words.

"Don't lah. Tomorrow morning then come and take. What if got alarm?"

Me: "Nah it's just some intercom system. Eh but what's that yellow alarm signal thingy on top?"

Sis: "No lah, it only lights up when the gates open. It's automatic right?" She takes a look, "Oh it's not."

Me: "Confirm anot!?"

Mum: "Nick, Joy! Don't get Daddy in trouble. Later we get sent back."

It was as if my mother wasn't there at all as my sis and I stood there still thinking of a solution.

"Eureka! We need a chair!"

I think we spent at least 15mins figuring out how to best retrieve the damn thing with my mum fluttering around with disapproving glances and remarks . (Oh why did it have to fly over?) In the end we scrapped the chair idea cause getting over was easy but coming back WITH the chair was hard and we climbed over from the side of the fence since there was some foothold there and we didn't have to worry about some high tech laser defence system guarding the front of the yard. I nimbly jumped over the fence, got the damn shit copter, threw it over and with ninja like agility, I scaled back.

I held up the damn copter and thought to myself, "Wow, now THIS means something now."

Guess my mum was in for something more than she asked for.





MUAHAHAHA.
