I wasn&#8217;t resting as much as I should lately. Since the purchase of my new laptop, I&#8217;ve been hooked to it. Practically sleeping next to it. I even dine with it.<\/p>\n<p>One fine Sunday, the possession got worst. I turned on my WIFI and found out that my neighbor has wireless broadband. My devious mind was ignited. &#8220;Kor, next door has wireless. Should we ask them to open up their network and share it?&#8221; I asked in anticipation to my brother, who now saw what my evil plot was. Sister and brother, hand in hand, united we open the door and knocked on our neighbor&#8217;s doors. We&#8217;ve been living next to this bunch of geeks for at least a good 6 months and we never exchange words. Horrible neighbor you say ? Well, not really. The 5 bachelors never showed their face in the neighborhood. They come home and hide in their shell. So, we never had the opportunity to send our warmest regards.<\/p>\n<p>Dressed in my skimpy shorts and spaghetti top, whilst my brother in his &#8220;Ah Beng&#8221; shorts, we stormed over and walked into a stranger&#8217;s home uninvited. &#8220;Escuuuseee me &#8230; helloo &#8230;we are your neighbor&#8221; uttered my brother humbly. I stood behind my brother, my head poking out from behind, shying away like a 16 years old. &#8220;We were wondering ah &#8230; if you can share share your WIFI ah .. ?&#8221;  blurted my brother, hitting the jackpot of honesty. By then, I was standing next to my brother, giving him my physical support. Little did I know, I was invisible in the eyes of the 4 eyed dude. He didn&#8217;t even pass a glimpse at me.<\/p>\n<p>We went in with a mission and we came out, mission accomplished. Now I&#8217;m connected on WIFI at home. For better or worst ? It&#8217;s 2am in the morning now, and I&#8217;m still online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home is where the soul rests. I wasn&#8217;t resting as much as I should lately.
