OUOC part 3

yes, we are back again. shhhhhhhhhhhh. they are all sleeping. we should have finished this tour during the holidays itself. now, they are all back and so the tour can only occur during times when they are either asleep or not home. try and tiptoe around the unit alright. we can't afford to leave evidence of you guys being here.

you will notice that the arrangement of the sofa has changed. you want to know why?. look beside the tv, the tangle of wires and a small white static creature with blinking green eyes. what does that tell you?.. yes we got Unifi-ed!! for those who do not understand, its an Internet wifi modem. okay, now lets keep moving. shhhhhh, you over there, yes you, don't look back, quiet now. i think i hear Mr Pan coming out. everyone down on the floor, let me off the lights. ohh, false alarm. lets move on.

i covered the living room last time right. now to ken's study room. yes its quite small as you see it. the old yellow ( almost washed off colour) shutter door holds all our (junk) stuff!! starting from iron and the iron board which we use once in a blue moon. boxes of stuff which we bought for the house and just plain good-for-nothing stuff that might come in handy one day or another. the two tables in the room itself are similar to the ones that you saw before in the living room. its ken's and rudy's but rudy usually doesn't study here. he prefers the couch or the living room table. so practically its just ken's room. yes, those books of further maths and physics and maths, that exude a disturbing aura are ken's. those are huge right? no no, don't touch that. you, yes you. keep that book down. its not yours. *bam* i asked you to keep it down silently, not to give an announcement that we are here.

anyways, its getting late and i should get some sleep. i have classes tomorrow you know. okay now lets just get out of here silently before Mr Pan or Rudy wake up. you can hear the cranky bed's sounds right. that might be them getting up to see whats the brouhaha by mr smartypants here is all about. don't just stare at me. move. out, Out. no no, don't slam the door. silently close it. at least you did that right!

Our Unit that Overlooks the College

Our unit is in Sri Hartamas. Yes, the posh land where the current king is having his palace built. It is a small unit. Basically, white walls stare us down when we walk into the unit. Let me bring you in for a brisk walk into our unit. Be careful the warmth might take you by surprise.

Stepping into our unit, you would realise that the door is broken. Yes, not completely broken but its knob is unable to be used. Thanks to my roommate Mr. Pan. One day weeks before I am typing this, Mr Pan was home alone. He decided to go out for some reasons but forgot to bring his keys out with him. What happened next would affect us all for weeks to come. When he got back, he stared at the knob and asked himself, HOW COULD HE GET IN? Yes, the ONLY SENSIBLE answer he got was to break the knob. Kudos to you Mr. Pan.

Anyways, come on right in. Uh huh, the shoes are arranged beside the small shoe rack and the slippers are there as well. No, don’t focus on those stinky socks hidden in the last compartment of the shoe rack. Let’s keep moving. Ahhh, the dining table which doubles as our study table most of the time. The books on the table are proof of that. Don’t be fooled, it only looks clean for Ken’s parents decided to land us a visit last week. If you were here the week before, you would be lucky even to lay your eyes upon the wooden surface of the table.

Ah hah. Ken? Yes, Ken is my house mate who is Rudy’s roommate. Rudy? Hmmm mmm. Yes. Rudy is my housemate as well. Okay. Let me clear this up. Four of us live in the unit. Two in each room. Rudy and Ken in one and Mr. Pan and I in another. Ken’s parents visited us last week for it was college holidays and we were all heading back. When we heard that they were coming to the unit. A tornado broke free. It cleaned up everything starting with the living room right up to the dishes that were soaking in the sink for the past week. All it took was 30 minutes and everything was neat and tidy.

Moving away from the dining table, you would see two study tables. Mine and Mr. Pan’s. Yes, it looks orderly thanks to the tornado.

Ahhh look at the time. The unit has to be closed now. I would have to continue the tour later. So many details to state and so many experiences to share. I promise you it would be opened soon.
