Fats, Vitamins and Minerals

Around 3-4 in the morning I was still pounding soya beans, the neighbor downstairs came over because of the noise … The sound of the marble mortar and pestle at the quiet of night must’ve resonated, amplified … Luckily, when the neighbor came, I’ve already finished the last batch.

Of course, the following day, it was a disaster. I couldn’t get the soya of the proper consistency to fry it like a pancake. Suddenly everything was wrong. I couldn’t get any of my writing done, couldn’t get any serious work done, couldn’t focus or concentrate, everything was just pitiful.

There are just too many attachments at the moment, from the gadawful people we had to deal with in the failed  project last month to the look of pity, sneer-like and disgusting, on the security guard’s face at the NSO when he saw me with Trevor.
The neighbor across from ours seems to have just bought an electronic piano, a keyboard synthesizer with gunshot, dog, cat, cow, duck and toad sounds in it. Obviously, it also had a mic input since I heard a girl’s shy voice going “hello.” The sound of tinkering with the keyboard - from piano to percussions - gave me a strange uneasy feeling. A cat tinkering with a ball of string was much much more comforting.

There is an old chow living in the next apartment building. It is always a joy to see him resting outside the apartment. Today I saw him trying to play with a cat resting nearby. The cat clawed his face. The chow recoiled, quite embarrassed and looked at me as if to say, “well what are you looking at?”
