Last entry, for the next three weeks.

Yeaps, cos I'm going overseas for work.
For three weeks. Eeeeep.

I'm going to miss a lot of people.
Okay so may be not THAT a lot.
But I'm going to miss people :(

Anyway, today I was coming home from last minute shopping in preparation for this worktrip, and I walked past this badminton court where some kids were playing badminton(duh). Just so happens another middle aged woman was also walking the same direction as me. She was pulling along her child.

Situation:
The pathway leads to the middle of the badminton court, and comes out from the other middle of the badminton court.

Mission:
To get across to the other path.

kiat course of action(which is probably the same course of action as 90% of the population):
Walk around the perimeter of the badminton court, keeping an eye on hostile targets(kids) and any possible hostile projectiles(shuttlecocks) and avoiding them while indulging in silent mockery of their less-than-mediocre badminton skills.

middle aged woman with kid course of action:
Announce "PLEASE LET ME PASS" and proceed to walk across the middle of the badminton court. Upon any evidence of hostile intent(which probably just means them continuing play before the whole width of the badminton court is covered), move a few paces to well distanced area, and shout at kids. Messages which can be shouted include: "THEY NEVER TEACH YOU TO LET OLD LADY AND KID PASS THE PLACE UH. WHAT KIND OF SHIT THEY TEACH YOU IN SCHOOL LAH. ARE YOU ALL SO DUMB TO NOT LET ME PASS. I DONT KNOW WHAT THE HELL THEY TEACH IN SCHOOL NOWADAYS. NOW KIDS ARE SO STUPID." and leave the enemies(kids) in total confusion.

Result of KCA(kiat course of action):
kiat crosses the danger area undetected.

Result of MAWCA:
Enemy attrition rate 100%. Middle age woman pwns all. All of their base are belong to her.

Man that woman is goood.
