HDB on a lone Fri afternoon

all alone at home now. one of the best things in life.
with no one to yell at me, disturb me, off all phones and enjoy an afternoon of solitude. away from the bustling world, away from all the urban sight and sounds, away from the noisy crowds.

as much as the quality times lasted till 14 00hrs, when i woke up.
then, dreadful things took place. while i was showering, my neighbour started to drill his walls, smash the concrete blocks, wreck the floor tiles...
all that follwed was tis deafening hum-drum of drills, whacks, knocks, thumps....
it's a bloody renovation going on!!! freak it!!! there goes my quiet afternoon!!!

u know.... sometimes, urban living gets to u... in that suffocating sense?
like a dementor.... sucking out ur sense pf peace and inner tranquility?
the congested streets, the tunnel of cars crawling like centipede...
the packed-like-sardine Orchard road at anytime of any day...
the alwiz-ringing cell-phone... and floods of sms...
i jus wanna scream out loud "leave me alone for jus awhile!!!!"
and curl up in a corner, hug my head in despair....

add in those hoards of nosy aunties who refuse to leave ur house after afternoon-tea and deafening ktv-sessions with ur grandmother....
sessions of midnight mahjong with uncles who refuse to admit defeat and bestow upon u some much needed sleep...
irritating friends who call you up at unearthly hours to sob about his latest break-up..... darn..... jus ENJOY THE SILENCE!!!

*damn tt stupid drilling..... i'm going insane in this heat....*

sometimes....i jus wish tt i can jus pack myself into a little Louis Vuitton case and send myself to some tropical island on the Pacific and rent a house on silts over-reaching to the sea.... have little sharks beneath my window n sleep naked in my room, gazing out at the twinkling stars while lying on my bed....

then again, i am realistic person (not materialistic though). so the above paragraph is nothing but a sweet thought to nourish my parched visual imagination.

anyway, back to reality at 15 50hrs, another neighbour decided to cook spicy curry and nonya dishes on a hot fri afternoon. damn.... it smells really really appetizing.... if only i could hire her as my chef... why??? coz i am having blanched green veggies n plain cold tofu for lunch with half an apple n 3 miserable slices of water melon. no, it is not a diet plan thank you....

urgh...... grumbles..... =(
