My parents have spoilt us and themselves since young … expats in Tokyo since i was 6 …. landed house for the past 22 yrs …. and they kept renovating / rebuilding the house so it’d be nice and comfortable for all of us. shaozie / bin bin … now u know who to blame for me being a brat!!!
the pictures of their home in canada is so picturesque … the contrast of that place covered in snow with the humid & cramped quarters of my flat cannot be more stark!!!
i love the place i’m at now as its really become my own little sanctuary but i’m so worried mom and dad won’t be able to adjust to public housing … walking down a common corridor with units full of half naked neighbours with one leg propped up on a sofa or stool watching TV or having dinner …. laundry hanging on make-shift wires or on bamboo poles…. a rooster crowing in the middle of the night.
my biggest worry is the wet toilet!!! my dad is one of those that will not do his business in a place he feels uncomfortable … and they’re gonna be here for 6 weeks …WAT ARE WE GONNA IF HE CAN’T ADJUST TO THE TOILET!!??
mom has been calling very frequently and has big plans to get a grill oven, slow cooker etc etc so she can prepare a nice dinner. i keep telling her there’s no place in the tiny kitchen to put all the appliances and that all i have is a hot plate so u can only warm 2 things at any one time!! she just says … we’ll see! i really hope she’s not planning a 16 course spread like she usually does on such occasions.
then there’s the bedroom …. all the junk and things i didn’t unpack i keep in the other bedroom. now i gotta think about how to make the extra-room cum storeroom liveable … ARGH … i think i’ll move most of the junk into my room so they won’t feel the room is so ekky .. then change the curtains … get some uplights … throw pillows … rugs …
WAT IF THEY FEEL THEY CAN’T MOVE OUT IN ORDER NOT TO MAKE ME FEEL BAD AND SUFFER IN SILENCE FOR 6 WEEKS!!??
ARGH …. i need a new place … big, well renovated and nicely furnished … maybe i should just check them into the Ritz
do an act of charity ….. help pass the following notice around

33yr old half decent somewhat intelligent gay man willing to sell his sort-of-lean-sort-of-toned body to some kind gentleman (hopefully cute) who will help pay a 6 week hotel bill at Ritz / Four Season. its for a good cause …. keeping his parents in the manner they are used to so he doesn’t crumble under the stress of them roughing it out in his rented apartment!!

don’t know la … think after the bird flu one of the neighbours snuck their hidden chickens and rooster out of the forest near by … so if u leave the windows open and the idiot rooster decides to crow at 4am .. u get woken up as he crows continuously for several hours till the sun actually rises!!!
