A Day in a Life
I'm sitting alone by myself at the dining table having my lunch. Unlike this morning, when I was woken up by a drilling sound above my elder sister's apartment, it was a pretty silent afternoon back at home. I envy Zheng Qian like how he envied me. He prefers the sound of silence while I enjoy the hustle and bustle of a city. He is a light sleeper while vehicle's horns and engines revving up all serve as a lullaby to me.
Taxi Driver drove us back to Simei in the morning. This driver wasn't a Chinese. I couldn't recognise if he was Hindi or Muslim but I know for sure, he is afraid of dog bites. Chloe was nesting right in my bag. Somehow she has tears flowing down her furry face. Either she's sad because she's going back to "boot camp" or she's afraid of the driver. Well, did I mention she is a racist?
Besides that, Taxi Driver was really friendly. He reminisced the good times when kids his age used to play with spiders, marbles and fishing. Now, it's all about Playstation, XBox, Nintendo DS and bullshit. He loves the quiet ambience and tranquility of his house back in Sembawang. After work, he will go to Cheers or 7-Eleven to buy 2 bottles of alcohol. Then he'll chill out outside his apartment drinking while fusing with the cool, serene environment as one.
Heading out soon to get Chloe some canned food that she desires. Elder sister thought that Chloe would be scared of all the drilling and hammering so she brought her back too.
4 hours later.
Blogging got stalled. Dad wanted to fix new lights into this room. Turned on the TV and Planet Cook was on "Okto" but I fell asleep eventually til I woke up from my slumber around 7pm. Realised I had forgotten to get Chloe her canned food and I berated myself for being lazy when I could buy it in the morning.
This is how my day went today. What about yours?
