humor and the banality of life1. my house's water meter wasnt working since march. and the people didnt do anything till 2 days ago. so technically our household didnt use any water for 4 months. something really hard to imagine since my brother can bathe up to 4 times a day and i wash my hands with soap at the slightest thing.
2. i brought a box of ricola strawberry sweets for my tuition kids to enjoy today. joy [my partner] entered the room and went "why does this room smell of strawberries". tuition kid showed her the box. and she continued "you know..it smells of rubber". i choose to believe that its cos of the invisible chemical reaction between the scent of the sweets, stench of carpet and the musty smell of the room itself.
3. my cousin, whom i was in a meeting in PS's macs, wanted to go shopping after the meeting. i told her i could spend 10 mins with her. to which she reduced her voice to a whisper and went "i need to buy br*" at that moment..o_0 was my face. and yes i did spend the 10 mins with her and yes again we went looking around for what she wanted.
4. carrefour has the tallest plastic wastepaper bins ever. they must be some 5cm taller than usual varieties. and on top of that..the dustiest.
