So today is FRIDAY FRIDAY so you know what that means: time to feed the ducks during lunchtime! So last time when me and
my friend just fed them a small piece of bread we were nearly run over by this one particularly enthusiastic duck, which is why I came prepared today with FOUR slices of bread, one for each duck (in a fit of hunger I ate the fifth slice).
How foolish I was to assume that one slice each will satiate the ducks voracious appetite! We fed one of the white ducks, whom we encountered at the college next to the lake with a slice of bread. The duck ate slowly but enthusiastically with its cute little butt-tail wagging around like a happy dog's. So after that we went a bit downhill from the college to the lake, the hangout spot for the rest of the ducks.
The other two brown ducks were way over the other side of the lake, so Mona and I decided to feed the enthusiastic duck from before first before going around the lake to the brown ducks. We didn't expect it to swallow the breadcrumbs so freaking fast and waddling to us for more! "CHEW YOUR FOOD FIRST DAMNIT!" we shrieked, tearing small bits of bread as fast as we can. It gulped them all quickly (without chewing, such horrible manners) and went straight for us.
It took me a moment to realize that the rest of the ducks were racing towards us. The brown ducks were swimming across the lake towards us like feathery torpedoes while the other white duck was waddling down the hill from the college towards us. We're down to one and a half slices of bread, and I hold out one to Mona so that I can rip the other into pieces.
Only she wasn't there. She was all the way at the parking lot, apparently abandoning me to be mauled to death by four ducks! That tart! So this is your true colours! In the time of need and despair, she abandoned me! Where's our sacred bond of sisterhood now??? So I gave up any pretense of control and threw ALL THE BREADS at the ducks and ran for my life.
"You left me!" I yelled at her.
"It was coming so fast! Every man for himself!"
"You wanted to study biology so you can be the next Attenborough! You can't be afraid of ducks!"
"I'll choose whatever kind of animals I want to study! I'll study only cats!"
"It doesn't work that way!"
"Fuck the police!"
Of course at that point we're attracting a bit of attention so we settled on a truce because now it's time to scamper off to Amcorp Mall for our lunch: the amazing Nasi Ayam!
