VISITING PHYSICIANS

Yesterday morning, Nathan [woke] to Andrew's leg kicking his arm as he [leapt] out of his bed. "[Save] me!" he [squealed], as he [pointed] to a shadow on the wall. Being only slightly in possession of his mental and physical faculties (having merely awoken [seconds] beforehand), Nathan nodded and [rolled] over to sleep some more. Having been [persuaded] of the immediate urgency of the situation, however, Nathan [got] out of bed and [looked] at the wall.

Cockroach (Uglius maximus disgustingus)

Our first priority was to take pictures for you all, our [dear] readers/subscribers. We only selected one for your viewing [pleasure]. We hope you [enjoy] it.

Minutes passed. Then the two heroes heard a scurrying noise - and Andrew [saw] a large shadow [scrambling] towards him. He snapped. "It's a [monster]!" and [ran] over to the desk to find a container to trap it in. [Nathan] grabbed the blanket and [judo-chopped] the bug, stunning the beast. They lifted the blanket to behold what you beheld in the above image. As they watched, he began to flee. They hit him again. Then Andrew so bravely captured him in the goggles case that was nearby. It was now a "bug trap", so to speak.

We hurriedly exited the building to try (as in have him stand trial) and execute the ferocious [creature]. Sentencing him to death, the shoe of [doom] was brought and the sentence was executed ([no] pun intended).

We later learned that a family tradition apparently consists of healing fevers and death with burnt cockroach soup. It works - the one who partook of the soup still [lives] to tell the tale. They actually call the roaches "visiting physicians", since those are the active (so to speak) ingredients, if you know what I mean.

Everyone are doing well lah!

A few notes: due to our technological condition (as explained by Andrew in his last post), updates are slightly less frequent than originally intended - for this we apologize. The amazing things we have done in these past few days (yes, we have done a TON in three days already, it feels like forever) will have their post in due time! Also, to lessen a bit of confusion, the time zone and dates on this blog will now reflect Singapore Standard Time, or GMT +8:00 (sorry Alex and Alexis!)

Thanks for your continued patience and prayers!
