Girl Next Door
23.12.2008
Oh shit. Oh shit. I’m so friggin stupid!!! ok, here it goes.
My day started just fine. Woke up early, watched astro, played guitarhero, and had a decent breakfast, “kalamari rings and fries”. I even went to Zaf’s house and watched some of her torrent download collection, and learnt new Japanese words and abbreviations. Fun! Fun! Fun! But. . . my oblivious-ness just had to ruin the day. Whoopee. Pooper.
See, I got home from zafirah’s home past five, ate murtabak and wanted to hit the showers. I could say, my house is now kind of under renovation, and today two Indonesian repairmen came to fix our tele aerial, this was around the time after I came back, probably 5:30 or so. I knew they came, but I just wasn’t sure what it was they were fixing, or at most, “where” they were fixing. Didn’t seem to matter at the moment, but boy was I wrong! Our (nana and moi’s) bathroom is next to nana’s room. For those who’ve been to my place would know what I mean. So anyways, I caught my dad and one of the repairman in nana’s room, testing the channels on the tv. Like I said, the bathroom is actually next to nana’s room, so I signaled to dad telling him I’m gonna be in the bathroom, and motioned that I’m gonna close the door, in case they’re not done by the time I got out. I wouldn’t want them to see me wrapped in towels, who would? But never would I have expected the worst. Dad didn’t seem to get what I mean, but I didn’t really care. I know, stupid me. Note to self: ALWAYS care!!
So yeah, I got into the bathroom, and did the usual routine: undress my self, and if I felt like using the toilet, I would before I hit the showers. Funny, at the moment I did feel like pee-ing, so after I undressed myself from top to bottom, went for the toilet, OBLIVIOUS TO THE FACT THERE WAS A MAN STANDING RIGHT OUTSIDE THE BATHROOM WINDOW. He was on the roof, fixing the satellite. See, the bathroom window, is just above the toilet, and he would have a top view of anyone using the toilet. I assume he saw!! Oh shit. I know!!free show!! And I didn’t even notice, well not until I was done pee-ing and wanted to hit the showers. You know how you can sometimes sense that someone is watching you. Well, I did, so I turned around to the window and saw HIM! Yeah, the Indonesian repairman! I know. Total embarrassment! I ran for cover, at the deepest corner of the shower which I assumed he couldn’t see, and cried. Yeah! I cried my shame away. Oh how I felt like I had just been raped. Seriously! I felt ashamed and over-exposed, and to a total stranger too! I didn’t even know his name!! What in the hell would have been through his mind when he saw me??
What happened next? Well. I put my clothes back on, and waited for the right moment to make a run for it. Our bathroom wall is of black tiles, and you could see reflections, and I wasn’t sure if he could see mine, but I could see his. Reflection, I mean. The right moment finally came, and so I ran as fast as I could back to my room, tried to find comfort from my other girlfriends, namely mira, syima and azie.

Amiiin! So to all, let this be a lesson to you. Trust me. It can happen to anyone. Even geniuses. Especially geniuses.
