Out. Not in.

Foremost, an apology to my (possibly non-existantial) readers. (I know people visit, but I have no idea if they actually read through the posts.)

If you've been following my blog religiously (which I know you haven't), and you've been looking forward to my posts (which I know you don't), I'm sorry I haven't been posting for the past week and a half.

Let's just say I'm forced to take a couple of weeks off from the internet, from my house, and from Taman Mayang, Petaling Jaya on the whole.

I had no idea this was coming, the whole thing just pranced upon me one saturday morning (y'know, the saturday after my last post). I woke up, and my dad went, "pack your bags ah, we're moving out for a couple of days." And so, I stuffed a couple of days' worth of clothes into my bag, and off we went. Only, 'a couple of days' became 'a couple of weeks'.

I've got the laptop, but no internet connection. Say bye-bye to internet surfing.

I'm doing this in Starbucks now, if you're wondering.

I'll probably be staying here until next week. Oh joy.

If you're wondering what drove my parents to having to move out like this, it's the Renovate and Revamp thing going on in our house. Big scale renovation lah.

My house is in a HUGE mess!
But, I don't mind the dust and pieces of wood everywhere as much as I do the SOUND.

Every morning, just a little past eight, practically the whole house would be vibrating with the LOUD noise from the drilling. NO ONE can sleep through that, so every single morning I have to wake up for one and a half hours, before going back to sleep again.

It is now a routine, and it is irritating.

And when you go out the front door and into the lawn, you have to be extra careful of the stray nails and ladders that are set up.

Walk into the kitchen, you have to manuver around the washing machine and the dryer before you even get to the fridge. Imagine having to wash the dishes in the bathroom sink!

Even the bathroom downstairs is rendered useless with the huge kitty cage and various pails taking up most of it's space. Because they got in the way of the construction works.

And when you're on the computer in the living room upstairs, and you feel like a little fresh air and a break from staring at the screen too much, well too bad for you, 'cause pull the curtains apart and be greeted by some indian guy laying bricks instead of the usual blue sky.

And every now and then, strangers walk up the stairs. They're always either the people who install sinks and toilets or the air-cond guy or stuff like that.

And before long, they will be in my room, making a mess there, too.

But you know what? I'll SO be looking forward to when everything is built and installed and painted and cleaned! 'Cause almost everything will be nicer and better looking! And more spacious too.

And best yet, I'll have my orange tiled bathroom! Orange, because it's the BEST colour ever. I feel a little guilty though, because I had insisted my mom order the large 40cm x 30cm tiles, as opposed to the 20 x 25 tiles she wanted to buy. And being so much larger, it costs more. She probably isn't too happy, since she's already spending so much.

But hey, when it's all done, I'll have a very nice looking bathroom!

Did I mention I'll be painting my room orange, too? Yeap, finally!

Anyway, not having internet connection does not mean I'm not inspired to write, does it? When my inspiration hits, it hits hard.

So I gotta write. In Microsoft Word, then save. Then post when in Starbucks.

Darn, of all days to forget my cell phone, it had to be today. Now I hafta lug this thing around while I look for my mom.
