the maid
it's the time of the year again when you gotta watch your step each time you step outta your house. the smell of joss sticks and incense being burnt fill the air. different offerings from oranges to candies lay neatly at the side of pavements. the nights will be lighted by burning bonfires of various paper replica offerings like cars, houses and especially hell currency.
in case you've still not figured yet, or your neighbourhood is kabul, then it's the hungry ghost festival here again. this time, it's two months long. how do i know? my lecturer was talking about it in class. he said something else which moved everyone, the ghosts too i think, "how come we only burn hell money during hungry ghost festival? would you like it if i gave you allowance only once a year?".
in the midst of preparations for my exams, i'm distracted by novels that i've either bought or loaned from a friend. i've just finished reading 'kite runner'. go read it. it's one of the best books ever. it made all the other books i've previously read seem insignificant in the world of literature.

i watched the maid, a year ago. just me and my bf alone in the whole theatre. super spooky.
i watched the maid with my guy classmates. they turned it into a comedy.
Now go read The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime! I haven't failed to recommend you a good book yet (Kite Runner, hello?) so trust me on this one.
Khalies.
