Eyes Wide Open
June 25th, 2007
the ruthless sounds of incessant drilling and the clanging of metal-on-metal are no longer just in my head. this particular slice of culture shock has me vexed and sleepless in my hotel room; who the fuck does construction at 4 in the morning? i want to furiously fling open the window and vociferate the choicest expletives i can wrap my tongue around, but alas, i have discovered this window is unsuited to be flung open, furiously or otherwise, because it has to be first unlatched and then carefully slid open. where is the satisfaction in that, i ask you? absolutely none - it is like venting your anger by trying to slam a swinging door. and so i sit here grumpily at my laptop, pounding my frustration into the keyboard in rhythm with the pounding of hammers and nails coming from next door.
go to bed, you insensitive constructioners, so that others may too do the same!
what’s been up lately :
humphrey hops
dragon boat races in Stanley
cute bean dolls purchased from cute bean stalls
many sulks
schedule clashes aplenty
watching imaginary TV with cardboard cutouts
heart-shaped spring onions in (salmon belly) miso soup
crabby Tim Tam
schoolgirls and french maids
harassing rickshaw drivers
horrific SAT results (this is your cue to not ask what i got)
Cashback - most awesome movie i’ve seen lately
my hot boyfriend
what’s coming up soon :
weekend at penang. asam laksa, imma come get you
global xounds on friday
Menopause the Musical
Harry Potter the movie AND the book, oh my god, someone please get me a chair i think i’m going to faint from the ecstacy
Sarawak Rainforest Festival, finally!
—————-
the construction people are still at it. sometimes i wish to be oblivious to all the bangs and booms that have become a tax on the 21st century society’s love of gleaming concrete-and-glass skylines that make such pretty postcard pictures but turn us all into melting, sweaty puddles of heat whilst global warming helps us cook eggs on the sidewalk. but ignorance is not always bliss, and ignorance is what gives us hard boiled eggs that will eventually roast to a crisp as the chickens and humans in cooling suits look sadly down upon the remnants of the eggs that lie on their cement graveyards that is the pavement of the new office building down the street from your old high school.
