whooping four figured sum

gosh i almost fainted when i looked at this month's electricity bills.

i was so worried how my emotionally-unstable housemate would react seeing that extra digit in overall sum.

i mean, for a person that freaked out when i reminded him on monthly rent, sudden spike in utility bills isn't the best thing in the world to inform him to.

thus, it was no wonder i stared at the paper like 5 minutes in front of the mail box trying to make sense out of it, finding possible explanation on the sudden surge.

oh no my housemate just went into his room after staring at the bills for awhile without saying a word (mind u, the silence might not be of any abnormal indication as we seldom talk to each other anyway).

should i go to the kitchen and check whether our knife is still there?

oh he's knocking on my room door...

...

just to give me a cheque.

cheque for the current month bills, plus the internet fee, plus the bills. two third of the bills.

i tried to reason on extra money he was trying to pay for the bills, but he said he used most of the electricity and not to worry bout it. i wanted to argue further but found myself silenced with the remark.

'coz it wasn't that nice the last time we argued.

well i guess, maybe he's not bad a person after all. i've seen his dark side before, but i've just been reminded of his other side as well just now.

gosh i must remember to stop calling him names.
