I need to go to the temple. To pray. To cleanse myself of all bad luck myself & my family have been getting. *sigh* Yes. I am superstitious at times. What an exciting week I had...the following 802 (or more) words will tell it all.
Weeks ago, I had a HDB officer knocking on my door while I was preparing myself to leave the house for work. It was around 12noon then & I was already late for work. I din wanna open the door for him at first, but the knocking became really aggressive, and the man started to shout, "HELLO? HELLO? HDB! HDB!" Feeling threatened, I opened the door. The guy flashed his ID card around & said he's from HDB & demanded me to open the door & let him into the house. Naturally I asked him why. He said someone complained that a clothes-hanger fell from my unit & it hit someone on the head. Feeling damn pissed & disgusted by his attitude, I said, "NO! I can't let you in!" Again, he demanded to be let in (like a mad dog) & says he needs to investigate the matter. I told him it was raining & so I didn't hang any clothes outside. He insisted on coming in & feeling skeptical, I requested him to show me his pass again. (Who knows if he's some psycho, trying to rob my house & me? *gasp*)
He came in & went around my house asking silly questions like, "Do you hang clothes there?" (He pointed to the kitchen window). I replied with an amused & pissed tone, "Of course! That's the kitchen. If we don't hang clothes there, then where do we hang them?" He prolly realised how silly he sounded & he asked again if we hang clothes in the bedroom. Now, who in the right mind will hang clothes in the bedroom?! I said no & he walked into MY room, asking the same old silly question over & over again. I said, "NO! NO! NO!" & then asked him what exactly is the thing that hit the man on the head? Guess what? He said he don't know. After a few more checks in my house, he left. Before he stepped out of my house, this is what I said to him, "Please get facts straight before barging into my house like that & say something fell off from my unit & hit someone on the head." I wanted very much to lodge a complaint against him, but I forgot his name.
And you thought this matter has come to an end? NO! The next morning, while I was sleeping so soundly after my session of late-night VCDs watching. (I was on late shift back then, naturally, I won't wake up till maybe around late morning.) Knockings were heard again. I dragged myself outta bed & went to the peep-hole on my door. I saw a man, and his nametag on this top says, "HDB". Fuck! They are here to haunt me again. I went to the toilet to wash-up & brush my teeth. (All these done while the knocking continues.) By the time I was done, the man was gone. When I got home that night after work, my Mum told me the HDB guy came again & he just wanted us to remove this rod thingy that was drilled into the walls outside my bedroom window. Apparently it was a wired clothes-hanger or some clothes peg that hit that so-called man & apparently it's not from my unit. Are we lucky or what?
2 nights ago, my parents greeted me with a letter from the police. It read something like 3 nuisance call were made from my house number to 999. That's something that never happened of course. And so, my Dad went down to the police station to file a report. But he was told to check with Singtel (as usual, throwing the ball around.) & so he went down as told. It was traced that the calls were made at 5pm++, 6pm++ & 2am++ respectively. My Dad then told them we never ever made those calls & the personnels asked if we had a small kid in the house that made the calls. Small kid. Yeah! Perhaps the soul of a small kid lingers in my house. Who in the right mind will wake up & make a nuisance triple 9 call at 2am in the morning?! I'd rather be watching my VCDs. The matter's still pending but my Mum told me to call up Singtel & say we wanna change our telephone number & make it private. Anyone knows the procedure for that? Cause I don't & I'm lazy to check things out. =P
Just yesterday, something utterly, fuckingly, stinkingly, pissi-fying happened. I'm still too pissed to type all that rubbish out. So email me, if you REALLY wanna know. It'll hafta depend on my mood of course. Not all emails get replies. =D Anyway, all I wanna say is, some people will get their retribution. Someday. They will. For sure. Lao Tian you yan!! (Heaven has got eyes to see). And I just hate the way some people pretend like nothing has ever happened. Phoney freaks!!
