Sunday, October 7


Went to my cousin’s place to fix her com. Not exactly fix la, but reformat it again coz that is the only thing I know how to without the aid of google.

Like the previous time I went go, I expect the door to be unlocked since they’re expecting me. So I stop outside the door, took off my slippers, dry my umbrella, and walked in. I saw that the color of the wall seems different… the lights are abnormally dim. There is a man sitting at the sofa by the window, doing something on his hands, I didn’t see him clearly, So I stood there stunted for a while, thinking, “ since when my uncle become so thin and the hair so short or almost can’t see the hair, the hair color seems to match his surrounding somehow, dyed his hair? Can’t be wad traditional guy my uncle is…”

All these few moments when I am in my own thoughts while looking at him blankly, he was looking back at me too, wasn’t sure if he was shocked or curious. So he asked “yes?”

I was lost… in my mind I mean, I didn’t mean direction lost, but well yeah, that as well.. anyway, I was lost and I walked in a little to peek the corner where my cousin place her computer. There is nothing down there!!! Only then I realized that I have walked into the wrong house… Shock as I was, I look at the man again for a few seconds without knowing what to say. And finally the words manage to find its way out of my mouth… “ah…. Wrong house… sorry….”

Close the door, moved my slippers to the next unit (this time the correct house). Left my umbrella to dry there coz I was too damn pai seh to think more… ring my cousin’s door bell and finally I saw my cousin, different cousin, but surely the right house, I didn’t wait another second to hop into the house…
