Bonus Holiday

14 Aug

It is a Monday but a public holiday today, a bonus one. Over the weekend, it was Election Day for six states in the country. Our state of Selangor was one of them, delayed from November because of Covid, although the federal election went on.

I voted for the State Elections

With the outcome of the state elections maintaining the status quo, the nation has to move on now that this is over. I feel so tired because of this.

Or could it be that the neighbor’s dogs are the culprit of my lack of sleep? Every morning before my alarm rang, without fail, they would bark the street down and spoils the sleep-in. So this bonus public holiday is pointless because the dogs were at it again. Grr.

The Dogs are Back!

9 Aug

It looks like there won’t be any bunny sightings anymore. The neighbors and their dogs are back, and the incessant morning barks have started again. Sigh.

At least the neighbor behind us has completed their renovation, thus one less disturbance for us. We had to deal with constant noise and dust pollution when the renovation was moving at full scale the past few months. Thank goodness the situation is behind us now.

It’s a matter of reconditioning the mind and the expectations again to live harmoniously with neighbors, pets, critters, and all. Otherwise, we drive ourselves crazy, focusing too much on the external noises.
