Let there be light please...

It is again about the DAMN lightbulb.
This time...the bathroom's lightbulb is dead...for 3 days...the bathroom's lightbulb is not working and the stupid thing is the landlord did not change it.
Of course there may be a few reasons behind this...

Maybe he din realise it was blown...becos he dun come out at night to use the bathroom...
maybe it is summer and at 10 o'clock it is still bright....
maybe he thinks the electrical bills are too heavy for him...
maybe it is too high and he can't reach it..
Maybe he can't change a light bulb...
Maybe maybe...


And for me...becos I reach home quite late everyday...
I decided not to bath becos it was too dark...
It reminds me of that time when I was too afraid to bathe when I was a kid and the bathroom light is off...
though I can change my own bulb now...
I am just waiting....becos the bathroom is NOT my territory...

and so...for 3 smelly days...I forgo my luxury to bath...thinking...it is ok...since i dun sweat that much...But yesterday night...I thought I had enuff and decided watever...I will bathe...so I went into the pitch dark bathroom....twisted the blinds to let the street lights flood in and bath...

Just for those who might think..."WAT!...you twist ur blinds...does that mean everyone can see you bathing!!!...."....NO...I am at the higher ground floor...although the people from the higher floor from the building 100 metres across might see me...BUT come on....the bathroom is pitch dark....with the miserable street lamp shining thru the strappy blinds...and in the middle of the night at 1am....WHO who??? can see me...???!?
Anyway...yah...I bathe...and get used to the darkness...not too bad actually...just dark.

Manage to have a decent shower...and that is it...

Although I am still not very happy about the fact that the light is off...but am please with myself that I manage to survive the darkness and have my shower finally....

But but...I still hope....

Let there be light please...

His way...My way...

It was like the movie turn left...turn right...only that...we have already met.
I realise we always go to the same destination using a different route.

For instance, one evening...we went to a fren's studio...which is at the ground floor corner...there are two entrance....and I went in from the front...while he came in from the back entrance...both ways takes almost the same time...and is both convenient...so...we walk there to the same spot...from a different route...stay around the studio and have a chat with that fren....and the funny thing is...we...took the seperate path again to walk back to his studio...


One morning...I saw him...and he walk up the stairs...I was waiting for the lift...and then...I saw him outside EMA which was on the second floor.....looking at the booking sheets...which I am also there to book equipments....and I was amused that we are actually going to the same place....taking a different route...again

Yesterday...we are working on our computers and halfway...we realise it is time to go for an opening for the MFA Interim show....and we put on our coats and prepare to leave....there are two exist form the school...and I walked towards the main door....and he turn and walked the other way...I saw him walking the other way...was amused..and he told me it is faster that way....and I followed him....took the back exist instead of the usual front I would have taken....once we are outside the building....I walked left and he walks right....and and...wait!!!....we turn around...and I told him....did you realise we always walk to the same place using a different route?....he din realise that....but realise that when I mention the last two incident and then this....he was amused ....but this time...he turn left...and say..."we go your way"...


And so...yah...just find it amusing.

Before sunsets...

Yesterday....was the most romantic day of my life since I arrive...
He was riding his bicycle very slowly beside me...
and I walked beside him...
towards the sun...setting...
it was a nice and lovely view....
nice and lovely mood...
nice and lovely feeling...
nice and lovely atmosphere
and yah...we are sometimes quiet and just walking...
but we do talk occassionally...

It was a nice and lovely day in the end for me....and my fantasy

His joke of the day...

"Something happen to me today that is never going to happen to you..." he said with his eyes wide open....

I was thinking very hard...WAT!?....wat could have....

He said..."I was drunk"..

ah...indeed...that will never happen to me becos I am allergy to alcohol ...and I would probably die first before I get drunk....so he was right...and I was laughing....

But i reply...I can be drunk too...

"wat?!...with water?..." he said.

Yes...with water.....i can drunk when I want to...even if I am drinking only water...

MY joke of the day...

I was telling him..."watever I am going to show my tutor today...they are going to like it...!" and he was puzzled..."why?"..

I said.." Becos it is too late to say NO! for my degree show..."

He was laughing...I din realise it was funny...not funny...I was just being sarcastic...but he was laughing...

EXCUSE ME!!!!

I was standing under a traffic light waiting for the green man to shine...and i heard this familiar voice behind me...

"Excuse me, Miss..."

I turn my head and saw these 2 familair looking boys...I am sure I have seen them somewhere...
but they are not calling me...they are talking to the lady beside me waiting to cross the road...

One is about 11 and the other probably 8 or 9 years old...

"Can you help us buy cigarettes...."

The lady just took the money and buy a pack of cigarettes for them WITH NO QUESTION ASK!

It may be interpret as the act of kindness....or being helpful.....BULLSHIT!...what is this lady doing!!!!!

Now I REMEMBER!

These 2 boys stopped me on my way home along this same street and ask me to do the same thing...BUT...I rememeber...I rejected theor request and told them..." you shouldn't be smoking at this age...(infact shouldn't smoke watever age you are in)...."...and they say..."It was for our mum....!!"......RUBBISH!...ASK YOUR MUM TO BUY HERSELF!!!...wat kind of mother.


Yah...that was how I met them....and today...it happened again...and I am determine to get the bottom of this...I stayed around and watch wat happen despite the fact that I am already late for school....Saw the lady came out with the cigarette...cross the road finally....while I am standing at the other end of the road...WATCHING....


the 2 boys....put the cigerattes in the pocket...and cross the road...took out the cigarettes....and a lighter.....unwrapping the plastic pack of the cigarette.....as they walk into a corner facing door of an apartmentone... one of them give the other one cigarette and he took one himself.......I PRETEND TO WALK PAST THEM AND GIVE THEM A HARD LOOK....and they saw me....while they lighted their cigarettes....they wave and say"hello chinese girl"...looking NOT GUILTY AT ALL though they are caught yet not afraid...


I knew it.
And I shake my head...

I have plans...to actually put notice around that area to warn people not to buy cigarettes for these two boys....I hope they quit smoking...there are better things to doin life.
