Today’s weather is fab but wet. I wore my new shoes today. It’s a wonder I didn’t fall to my death bcos I realized that there are no grooves on the soles. They hurt but who cares. I think it’s worth the pain. Haha.
Instead of a pack, I got a carton. Hohoho. Xmas has come early for me. I love my nicotine.
Daddy’s been sick for close to a week since China. Hope he gets well soon.
Today I shall be a good girl. I shall go home & vacuum my room & change the bed sheets. And maybe continue with my unpacking. Haha.
I dunno if it’s the weather, the ciggies or the BKK trip that’s putting me in a good mood. A little wonky, but still good.
This morning on the radio, they were talking about having recording devices around omost everywhere nowadays. And it’s so true. From mobile phones to CCTVs, you are being watched by others at some point of time everyday.
In my tiny office itself, there are 2 CCTVs, and I have seen people day dreaming, talking to themselves, scratching their asses, tugging at their underwear etc. I don’t think it’s their fault at all, but I can imagine how disturbing it’ll be for them if they realized there are others watching.
Isn’t it disconcerting when you can’t do some private stuff publicly should the need arise when there is nobody around physically but you know there’s a chance there are a couple of people watching you & your actions may very possibly be recorded? I think it’s kinda an invasion of privacy.
It’s not that big of a problem for me though. I actually like it that there’s a CCTV in my condo's lift. That’s bcos I hate taking elevators alone. And I don’t plan to do anything obscene in the lift. I don’t scratch myself in weird places, I don’t pee in the lift, and I don’t bonk in the lift. And when the interior of the lift is lined with mirrors, I don’t think it’s out of the ordinary to neaten your hair etc.
Yup, so I’m kinda torn between whether having CCTVs all around is more of a good or a bad thing. I think I prefer having them around but you just gotta be more conscious of your actions. Maybe next time you gotta dig your nose, get in the car first!

A guy dials his home phone from work. A strange woman answers. The guy says, "Who is this?" "This is the maid.", answered the woman. "We don't have a maid!" "I was just hired this morning by the lady of the house." "Well, this is her husband. Is she there?" "Ummm .... she's upstairs in the bedroom with someone who I just figured was her husband." The guy is fuming. He says to the maid, "Listen, would you like to make $50,000?" "What do I have to do?" "I want you to get my gun from my desk in the den and shoot that witch and the jerk she is with." The maid puts down the phone. The guy hears footsteps, followed by two gunshots. The maid comes back to the phone. "What should I do with the bodies?" "Throw them in the swimming pool!" "What?! There's no pool here?" Long pause... "Uh .... is this 221-1811?"
