Serves me right for, while reading Jiayan's blog, laughing at her battle with the dragonfly... I just had my own close encounter with a similar insect.

I never thought, actually, that dragonflies would make it up to F block, but one suddenly hurtled through the open window, smacked me in the neck (and I was eating dinner and watching "Thin Blue Line" on Youtube, so it didn't aim for my ear cos it was occupied with my earphones), then flung itself at the opposite wall.

I, on the other hand, flung myself back, tethered on the rear two legs of my chair, fighting for equilibrium before righting myself and diving for cover.

Simple reason: When something goes wrong, think sparrows, not robins. Or think cockcroaches, not dragonflies. But dragonfly it was. By now, it was butting my room light going "zzzt! zzzt! zzzt!".

So, I switched off all forms of illumination (table light before the room light. Didn't want it charging at my face behind which was the only illumination). Then, going out of the door (much more calmly, I must say, than my illustrious squadmate =D), I waited for something to happen.

Instead of heading for the brightly lit corridor or for GH block, it headed to the corner of my room to sulk. So decided to throw something at it. The nearest thing at hand was a tube of cream for bruises, which I flung, hoping it didn't head of the window to Amanda's room. Instead, of getting scared, it continued to run against the wall going "zzt! zzzt! zzzt!".

So decided to go to Zichun's room to see if he knew what to do but he wasn't in. So I headed back to my room and glared at my erstwhile companion.

I was thinking, "YOU'RE the one with the compound eyes! Can't you see the lights! See the lights! Out here! Out there! Anywhere but my room! I have Anat to study!"

I walked in, headed for a heavier object to throw. If gentle persuasion wasn't going to work, shock and awe might have to do.

Then it happened. It flew towards the centre of my room. Maybe it saw the light at last, I'd never know. But its course of flight intersected with my ceiling fan oscillating at maximum speed, F block being quite a hot block. There was a terrific "ZZZTT!". Lights on, and discovered the mangled remains of a dragonfly in my fan, which at this very moment threatens to fall down my neck, and wings and things and other stuff sprayed around my room....

Interesting bit of excitement for one night...
