11am: i was awoken by the noise that was apparently coming from a funeral band.
But.. i dun think my neighbour is dead yet. he cant be. at least that’s what i think. i wonder if they have window grills in their flat. maybe the next time the gal comes down screaming (which i think should be soon coz she’ll prob be cracked by last nite’s incident), i’ll suggest that to her.
bloody emo neighbour! emo meaning suicidal, not short for emotional. it’s 1150pm already, and the people upstairs are making hell of a noise. i can hear this old lady, god know’s from where, screaming "giu mia" –> help in hokkien, glasses smashing.. objects falling, feet stomping, chairs shuffling… etc.
basically, i think it’s just drama upstairs.
let’s get things cleared up–>
there’s a couple living upstairs with 2 kids, 1 gal ard my age and another younger boy ard 12. my dad says the woman (wife) looks like a maid, and the boy looks a little.. nvm. but actually i’ve never met those 2.
i say the man (husband) is a very very "stressed out" guy and the gal is a very emotional, as in totally uncontrollable. but surprisingly, she’s studying in nie right now, aspiring to become a teacher. (very frankly, i duno what standards nie have these days. i have lots of stories about teachers nowadays. if their standards continue to slacken at this rate, i might not want to become 1 of them next time. it’ll be shameful to become 1.)
it started few months back when my dad went upstairs to ask them to fix the leak that’s seeping through the toilet, into our’s. later he realised that their air con is also leaky so he went up there to ask them to fix that too. our neighbour, presumably very "occupied", couldnt get it fixed for months. so i guess my dad went there a few times to pester them to do so. it can be seen as annoying but it’s even more annoying to see the paint and plaster of our bathroom ceiling peel off due to the leak.
1 day, the gal came down screaming that my dad is driving her dad to suicide. i almost rolled my eyes at that instant, i mean… some1 actually wants to commit suicide because he has to fix his leaking bathroom and air con? totally ridiculous and crazy rite? anyway she kept blaming us so we had to call the police. after that she didnt come and bother us anymore. (btw she did in her own words, say that her dad is very stressed by having the need to fix the leaks, and this has caused him to want to jump down several times. IN HER OWN WORDS MIND U)
tonight, the drama re-surfaces. i guess the man is "trying" to commit suicide again.
honestly and obviously, i dont really have much sympathy for the crazy old guy. come on! he is so old already, 50+, he has a family to take care of (he’s the sole breadwinner). where is his sense of responsibility? how can he think of suicide? his frequent suicide attempts are making his family members go nuts! they’re so stressed that they had to look for some1 to blame (referring to my family, innocently being dragged into this craziness).
anyway i think the gal is crazy. how can she come down and blame us like that. what happen to her logic? if i were her, i’ll redirect that "spontaneous burst of anger" to her dad. i will scold the bloody old idiot. somebody should wake him up man!! how can he be so irresponsible to think of, and let alone attempt suicide? yes, he might have other problems, health, monetary, mental… etc but who hasnt? nobody in this world (esp in sg) have no problems in life. it’s just how one takes it and handles it.
all in all, i just feel that it’s really irresponsible of people to think of suicide, to attempt suicide. they should think of ways to resolve problems and not run away. if they do die, the ones they leave behind will suffer MORE. it’s really selfish and irresponsible. HOW CAN ANY1 BE LIKE THAT? (okok… lots of ppl commit suicide and die.. yeah…)
wish some1 will go upstairs, slap the bloody man and wake him up. as in make him come to his senses. feel like calling the police, ask them to get a councillor for him and his family or smth.
(alas, the drama is still on-going)
hey i think friendster might have send u all several blog updates and that might have been irritating, but it’s not my fault!! lol
it’s sent automatically, not by me!!
anyway i had to repost the previous entry several times coz the words keep jumbling up. i duno y!! not me not me!!
Bet the title made u look. Sorry to disappoint, this will not be about my 50 first dates. Actually, this pathetic soul hasnt even reach the quota of 50!! Sobz.. ok enough of self pity, this is drifting far from what I wanna write about.
Today’s topic: My memory seems to be getting worse! (If u watched the movie, u’ll know why this links)
Incident no. 1 (with Sarina):
Was paying for my purchase when I realized that I didn’t have enough change, so Sarina started to dig for some shilling from her jeans pocket. I started laughing at her coz.. well, y keep coins in pockets when there’s purses? (somemore she has really nice ones from river island) Also, the coins were in those really small pockets which were sewed in a slightly higher position in the normal front pockets.. lol I’m messing with your minds.. okok those are what I suppose, coin pockets.
I think I made it sound perfectly normal right now. The thing is, I never saw any1 put coins there except for my dad, so I usually link ppl who do it to men and that’s why I laughed at her.
After laughing she told me that it was not the 1st time I saw her digging for coins from the coin pocket and of coz, I had the same reaction the previous time I saw it. I honestly didn’t remember until I started to think about it for some time.
Incident no. 2 (with Paul):
Was on the train when Paul told me that many of his friends either stay too far or are too bz with jobs etc. I then ask him about his clique, consisting of ppl like mark, ailing and mingrong. His reaction was like this à 1) almost rolled his eyes 2) replied in a frustrated or irritated tone (can’t differentiate) 3) “I tot I told u b4 already? U listen to things 1 ear in 1 ear out” 4) did this action à imagine words were strung tgth, he pulled them in and out from ear to ear.
1) - 4) is suppose to seem funny, somehow it made him sound a little mean when he’s actually not. Anyway he has the right to get irritated lol!! Again, I didn’t remember until I started to think about it for some time.
Yap, he told me b4..
______________________________________________________________________________
Sigh~ I know my memory has been bad all along, but it seems to be deteriorating these days!!! What if 1 day I become like the gal in 50 1st dates!! Howhowhowhow???
I can understand if any1 gets really irritated by me, but i’m irritated and not to mention frustrated by myself too!! can u imagine having to try to remember stuff that u forget everyday?
