You know what, I don't need Buddhism to teach me that zen is a very hard to achieve state of mind. I know how difficult it is to be zen. I know, because I happen to stay in a hostel which sucks my money notwithstanding, it also throws plenty of surprises every single fucking day. And I've only lived here for a week. That is SEVEN days for those who cannot count.
Let's not do any introduction here. Let's move to my rant.
- I don't see why I cannot bring a friend to stay over for ONE night. By friend I mean purely platonic, same sex and gender girl friend who won't soil the mattress with semen or cum if that is what the hostel owner is afraid of. Oh, you mean having a friend over will double the usage of water and electricity? Eh please lah okay. How much can a person use for a night or two? Besides, your water is FREE because you pump them from underground which leads to my second gripe.
- When I was in the phase of looking for hostel, this hostel owner assured me the water is clean. "Oh no, we don't use underground water. That will be gross isn't it?" Said she with the proper tinge of disgust in her voice. So I was sold. But now look what I found. Worms in my water, yes WORMS IN MY WATER; water that stinks like dead fish and feels slimy to touch. When I asked the caretaker fella (Saiful) about the source of water, he told me it's pumped from the ground. YOU BLOODY SHITEOUS LIAR, IBU KOSAN. I HOPE YOU SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT. Do you know how disgusting it is to only realize you have been bathing and gargling with worm-fested water after 6 days?????? All this while I thought they were just twigs at the bottom of my pail. Yeah, one of the major disadvantages of not having a 20/20 vision. Fuck my life. Right now, I'm waiting for the water to be cleared (coz have asked Saiful to clean the tank) which means I haven't gone to the toilet since waking up. Full bladder and rectum and all that toxic accumulated overnight which I feel like exploding all on the face of the ibu. I know I'm gross but I say only I won't do because I'm good. Although being good doesn't pay with scheming liars!
!!!!!! - The wash lady (ibu cuci) doesn't clean up the kitchen after using. Look, if everyone must cook in the common kitchen, at the very least the common kitchen needs to be clean, right? WRONG! Coz the Ibu fries sambal belacan in the early morning which chokes me out of my sleep and then just leaves all the cooking utensils unwashed, the cabinet and floor unwiped. Have you any idea how oily and smelly sambal belacan is? And when I wanted to wash my own plate, I saw the sponge with all the black mouldy spots. Seriously, how much dirtier can a lady get?? Cleanliness is next to godliness, I guess she has no God then. Pfffttt. See, see! Just want to bring out the bitch in me.
Lesson learnt: Never ever ever EVER rent a place where nobody has stayed before. You just cannot trust what the owner or the workers tell you. Unless you can get a good review from the tenants, otherwise save yourself future rage and look elsewhere. I've paid my 3 month's rent and if things don't improve by the end of this period, I'm going to look for room elsewhere. That's why Amy, I still haven't posted anything about my new room.
Zen, zen my foot la zen.
