This City Never Sleeps
Thursday, March 23, 2006 @ Confessions of a Househusband

Damn, gotta pretty serious insomnia lately. And i do not know why i am suffering from that.

If Al Pacino is unable to track down the murderer in Alaska, i doubt he can have a good sleep. Emotionally, the case he is handling stressed him. Physically, the weather of Alaska makes everyone only have 6 hours of darkness. Who can sleep under the bright daylight without the help of curtains and eye covers?

I'm sick and tired of being a househusband. It is not fun at all. Eat, sleep, housework, TV, housework, TV, housework, TV, endless boredom....

Known 3 friends of mine who is living like a househusband aka my new definition of modern bummer:

1. Mr A laze at home and do nothing but glued himself to the computer for 14/7, close to the verge of selling his soul to the computer.

2. Mr B smokes his life away and lament on how hard life is.

3. Mr C is entering the army soon. Been wondering how is life like in the army, and feel that he could not make it.

My recommended remedy:

1. Go take some fresh air for Mr A. It is unhealthy for him to glue himself to the computer for 14/7.

2. Go do some community work for Mr B and see how many people are living in misery, but they do not lament on the hardships of life. And oh yeah, quit that addiction as well. It's not worth to smoke your life away.

3. 2 years is a short time, Mr C. Just try to adapt the lifestyle in the army. Even i who was given a choice of serving NS for 3months in M'sia choose to serve 2 years in S'pore. 2003 in TP was just like yesterday.

Anyway, my life of househusband is coming to an end soon. As what Gong Li says in Eros:

'Yao qu shang ban le.' (Going to work soon.)

Somewhere around the corner in the city lies a man with some past...
