hmm. i came back from ANCO camp on sunday, i rested from monday to wednesday waking up in the afternoon, and i had nothing to blog about (except if you want me to blog about camp, which will take forever because there are a lot of things to blog about which i dont have the mood to blog about because it will make me feel tired to blog a very tiring post about tiring things)
but today there's something to blog about. because today, being a guai kia, i swept the floor and yesterday too, so that mother will give me money for sweeping the floor in a form of an allowance. then while i was sweeping, jie was watching tv and she was like, 'you know, you are like cinderella and maomao will come take you to the ball and..'
tsk! just because i sweep the floor doesnt mean im like cinderella. (but maybe she feels like an evil step sister for just sitting there watching tv. lol) and i wanted to puke when she said the mm part, but if i puked right then on the floor it will ruin the beautiful floor (i sweep until very clean okay) that i had just swept and i would have to clear up the puke.
then i went to the bedroom and me and jie was talking about something when suddenly she said that it was very quiet. then she went out and found that the tv suddenly switched off and yelled to me that there was something wrong with the tv.
after that she called out that the computers switched off too and lucky she had saved her data already.
then i was like, maybe there is a circular downstairs that says northvale is doing some electrical check or maintanence thingy because last time i was home alone and suddenly there was no electricity so i called dad and he told me there was this maintanence thing and after a while the electricity came back.
then i remembered last time when i found out there was no electricity it was because i wanted to get something from the fridge. so i went to the fridge this time and it had no power as well. the lights werent working and so was the water heater. the only thing that could work was the house phone.
so jie said that she would go down and check the noticeboard or ask the security guard. after a while she came up and said there was only one lift working and the security guard was like, 'the electricity is cut off. we are calling PUB'
and after a while more mother came back and we told her there was no electricity so she told us she went to lot 1 after work and when she was buying something at the cashier suddenly there was no electricity as well. then she went to worry about her food because if they didnt fix it quickly the food in the no power refrigerator will spoil.
and my reaction was like, there was no power in lot 1 too? cool!
and the adult like people (my sister and my mother) was like, not cool. there is no electricity in the whole of choa chu kang.
which was even cooler.
and i was polishing my boots because i couldnt find anything else to do, as i couldnt use the computer or go and bathe as i dont want to bathe in cold water.
jie went out and mother said that she was going to bathe even with cold water because she wont want to bathe in the dark. then she sat on the sofa and told me about this newspaper article she read and she was all, "..a clear desk means a clear mind. i told him, 'you should clear your working table-'"
the 'him' was father. but i butt in and was like, 'i dont have a working table'
and then she laughed and continued talking about tables, saying that in the article she read that if a person has a clear table, he has a clear mind. but if the person has a messy table, he has a disorganised mind. (obviously talking about father)
so i was like, if the person has a dirty table, he has a dirty mind. but she was like, no, if the person has a dirty table, it means the person is lazy because he never wipe the table.
and i went, whatever. you want to bathe or not? i also want to bathe leh. so she finally stopped talking about tables. the lights were suddenly switched on again and i was like, aww man, we couldnt experience the darkness.
hmm. i do not have a desk, means i do not have mind? what nonsense.
just now i talked to mother again, and i said "last time have christmas spirit at home now dont have. you know why? because last time i could play christmas songs on the piano."
it was obviously a HUGE HINT to want to have a piano again and have piano lessons which i had since i dont know when but my mother made me quit in march 2005 when i was approaching grade 6.
then she went to rattle on saying that there is no money blahblah and i can play on my sister's guitar instead.
but i dont know how to play the guitar and the guitar is different because you ahve to use one hand to strum and the other to press on the strings whereas the piano, you just use your fingers to press the keys. which is a bit like typing.
so after that, i have decided what my christmas wish should be.
it should be for my father to get a proper job with a reasonably well income so that i can have back my piano lessons.
oh yah. last night, i finished the book, 'the curious incident of the dog in the night-time' because mother said that my sister has even finished reading my lit book so i should too. so i read it slowly (i couldnt do speed reading because it was very noisy and jie was disturbing me) for 3 hours and finished the whole thing.
the book is really nice and i almost cried at one part where christopher found out the truth about his father lying that his mother died of a heart attack when actually she was still alive and living in london, writing him letters every week. and the part where his father confessed that he killed wellington.
but i only almost cried since the book is written in a robotic way. if it wasnt i would've cried.
i love the book! you should read it even if you're not taking lit.
