Tuesday, 2.44pm, Home.

The day I am doomed to hell.

Not because I already am but because right next door, there’s this loud drilling going on. So even if I realised that I have only one month, five hours and twenty-two minutes left till doomsday, I can’t do anything about it because I cannot concentrate.

Why do people even move at this time of the year, anyway?

Don't these people realise that in one month, five hours, twenty-one minutes, 5 seconds and counting, doomsday is going to knock on my door and say 'Hello'?

I'm not a lucky bird, okay? I don't stay in a condo, like some of my friends do. I don't have an air-conditioned room for me to scoot down to in order to concentrate. If you go downstairs right now, all you have is the mama shop[2] selling all kinds of sweets, snacks and magazines to distract me from my mission.

And the library is too far away, if you ask why I'm not there. I have to take the train, switch to a bus, then walk in order to get there.

Wait.

I just had a brilliant idea! Except I don't have earplugs. It turns out I come out with brilliant ideas that can't be used.


[2] A shop where anything you need can be found.
