Pkchukiss - Reality Wine

The thermometer is threatening to burst from the heat - I have not been that sweaty from a night’s sleep ever since September last year, and all that changed so quickly: the sun beats unbearably down through the windows. The blinds reflect most of the radiation away, but enough heat gets trapped that the fans circulate warm air around the room.

Sometimes it gets a little bit frustrating that I wish for an air-conditioner in the room. Though not a very pleasant way to start a morning, I have to get up, so I reach for my toothbrush that is next to the computer monitor (don’t ask why I put it there!), and grimaced when my neck ached painfully. I reached back to the affected area, and felt a bump on the back of my head behind my ear.

While gonococcus might freak out after discovering that he had chest pains in the middle of the night, I wasn’t even sure what to think about that. Tumour? A nasty knock to my head? Or an alien taking up a free Home-stay vacation in my head?

It still hurt when I touched it while bathing, but since it didn’t hurt when I cranked my neck all-around, so I’ll put it down as an x-file, probably until my next visit to the doctor’s.

The Internet connection is getting from bad to worse. Badaunt’s photographs were loading so slow, it reminded me of my old 56k modem. I was about to slap the modem (I used to do that with my old 56k whenever it decided to throw me a 26k connection) when I remembered that it was StarHub acting up. The modem narrowly escaped a beating.

Frustration was piling up really quickly, so I decided to drop everything, and hit the television set. Where usually Singaporean-produced junk cluttered the airways on weekday primetime, weekends are the best time to sample the best of foreign programmes, and I specially like Taiwanese variety shows. The food shows tingle me the most, especially when the celebrities looked like they were on Ecstacy after tasting the marvellous dishes whipped up by Taiwanese chefs. Their food is that good; in terms of quality and quantity, Singapore falls short of their galatical delicacies.  Their food culture isn’t about eating; it is about gastronomical aphrodisiacs!

I cuddled up on my parent’s bed, in front of the LCD television (that I won back in 2005, remember?) with my favourite bolster. It was really good to have the standing fan blow into my face while the celebrities salivated at the food in front of them (and me!).

What a way to spend a weekend! With no Monday blues to worry about, no school admission paperwork to fret over, and a flaky Internet connection that I’ll soon drop for another ISP, things look very good!
