ridiculous

The street light just turned off and it is now 7:03am. It is fucking impossible trying to get to sleep starting from around 3:30 ~ 4:00am because that's when the streets in front of the apartment starts waking up. At around 2am-ish it's actually so quiet I think to myself wowzee is this hk? but then the newspaper delivery people start unpacking stacks and stacks of newspaper, unloading from the truck with its engine still on and throwing them on the ground and playing with their craft knife while cutting the bundles whilst talking loudly among themselves. And in front of the apartment just happens to be the spot to do that in.

When they're done it's the food suppliers that deliver to restaurants. Again from the trucks with fucking loud engines and the ones that go beep beep beep beep beep beep beep when they're reversing. And they keep reversing. Meanwhile the trams start running again. It just happens that the tram track/ station is right in front of the apartment as well. Convenient? I fucking agree.

Okay. The mother fucking streetlight that stare down into my eyes all night. Nicole has kindly fashioned a cover on the blinds (out of post it notes) where the glare is but it still lights the whole room bright orange. The more annoying thing is that there is two sets of blinds and the left ones which is further below the bed faces up, so no light from above and outside the window actually gets into the room, however the ones that are right next to the bed face downwards, and when you try to turn it over it reaches its limit hence making it impossible to do so.

Our apartment is on the first floor. All the noise described above feels as if it is happening right by your ear when you're lying down in the bed with your eyes closed. Lovely huh.

All the more reasons to miss new zealand so much. Plus it's really getting cold, well, either that or I just have no winter clothes.
