Quiet time?

After a hectic 3 days Raya in PJ, I decided to go back to PD to have quiet time to myself. As usual before leaving the house I would make sure Mok's food was filled, gave his medicine, swept and mop the floor, watered the plants and swept the garden. It's my habit to leave the house clean as I know Ika would not have time to do all that as Rania would take most of her time. It's a cool, windy day and I took Rania out to the garden while I watered the plants and swept the garden and at the same time talking to her and she responded with shrieks and babbles. It was lovely to see her so happy but Rania is always a happy baby.
My desire to have a quiet time in my apartment was shattered by loud music which could be heard for miles. I just don't understand why some people like to turn on their radios so loud without regards of other people around them. This is another Malaysian attitude that I abhor - selfishness and self-interest. It's pointless to complain, nobody listens, the security guard couldn't do anything. Right now my ear drums almost burst listening to extremely loud Indian and English music played by a group of people who seemed to have a good time, disregarding the comfort of others. I guess I made a wrong decision to buy this place which was promised to be a heaven, about 20 years ago.
In spite the irritatingly stupid noise down there at the lagoon, I went on checking and updating my book 'Boleh Saya Tolong Anda' which was first published in 1989. I think this updating version is better in keeping with the development and progress of Pembimbing Rakan Sebaya program. This is the first book in Malay ever published on the subject and I am pleased to see that the program has progressed to a higher level. Thank you to all my readers and supporters and hope you won't photocopy my book anymore. Please buy the published version once it's in the market next year.
I think I am going out now, just can't take the noise anymore. Will be back tonight hoping it's going to be quiet again.
