Earth Hour + Boredom = ???
Last Saturday, I thought of home. Guess what made me think of home? The tilam lorry. You know the tilam lorry that goes to the housing gardens selling mattresses? They advertise using the speakerphone, airing the same recording over and over again saying, “Tilam! Tilam! Tilam lama tukar baru!” It’s the exact same recording like the one I used to hear when I was at home in Nibong Tebal. Wow! I didn’t know tilam sellers have a standard tilam advertisement. Wouldn’t it be funny if someone were to use that recording as their ringtone? Haha.
For all this time, I didn’t think of home…but that lorry brought my memories back. Anyway, I’m coming home in August.
Now, what drove me almost insane. Two things;
1. No electricity ( for like 6 to 7 hours! duh. )
2. So bored.
It’s like having Earth Hour…only, it’s multiplied by 6 or 7 times. This place…they cut the electricity from around 12p.m. until 7.30p.m. Something I want to say but don’t wish to say it out loud –lah! If I were to you know what (touch wood!), I’d blame it on lack of oxygen or CO2 poisoning. Come on man. It’s a hotel. It’s not like rumah kampung where the air flow is ok without a fan!
I’ve been practically sitting at the same place for almost as long as the time when the electricity was out. I did have something to do but other than my hands moving, I was probably meditating. I could say today is probably the day I talked the least in my whole life maybe.
This weekend, I was home alone. 5 of my housemates went to camp and 1 went back to her hometown. If I were to have my piano or guitar here, I wouldn’t mind the no-electricity thingy. At least I won’t be bored.
Well, thank God I’m still able to keep my sanity XD
