Those little black things..

He..... wait.

ok back.
Hello.
sorry, got distracted by those black things that were on my laptop, especially that on the "H" key. Tried to blow it off but it refused to budge. Tried to lift it off but instead left a stain on the keyboard protective sleeve (thank goodness it's there) like a kid has just drew on it with a 2B pencil.

Started screening around suspiciously and aha! indeed there were more of those on my laptop and around the desk! EVEN on my body! So irritating it appears to be. eeeks

yes, and those black things come once a year, creeping into your house via your house windows along with the very much welcomed light afternoon breeze..and this is the time of the year of which it appears ritually. Yes. precisely because it is a ritual. Neighbours burning incense and offerings at the common area...

No doubt I like the smell of it, this familiarity, this nostalgia of childhood where I was personally and actively involved in it. And yet, as I age, or rather, as I mature and become more independant, this, alongside with many activities that once bound me to my mum became part of history. Perhaps I should set up a personal museum kind of thing.

So as I had my operation, and the smoke that comes along with the 7th month Hungry Ghost, things get a bit hazy, not forgetting that of the hotspots in Indonesia... (doesn't help staying next to a park) the trees are not doing their job. Well, another reason why things are smoky is bien sur my aunt from hong kong staying in my house and smoking her KENT cigarettes. filling the house with this stench that renders a headache without failure for yours sincerely. bleah.

Things that YOU can hide but not RUN from. especially if you are having a home stay. Quite literally.
