spiderpigA letter penned by a young 19th century girl to her father. Due to unforseen circumstances, her family is now stranded in the present (circa 2005). Her father is currently in Siberia. (c) A. Tan
Dearest Papa,
Mama, your daughter and the littlest one are anxiously waiting your safe return. We all sincerely hope that your expedition goes well, and that this 'woolly mammoth' the professors at the school have been talking about will bring glory to your name. I do hope you are doing well.
Siberia is cold and Mama worries about whether you will be warm enough. I have assured her that your coats could extinguish a whole population of Chinchillas!
Technology has improved leaps and bounds from our time. I still remember what a shock we received when we first arrived. Mama's cough was treated promptly and cured within a week! And it was even thought to be terminal. Papa, science is such a marvel!
I can't continue.
This post was supposed to be a plea for a new computer.
But I'm in no mood to request for one.
Shit. Why did my whole life become so fucked up. We aren't evil. We don't do bad things or kill people. God, why are you doing this?
EDIT: You know what, I don't think I want to buy those shoes anymore. I really want them, but no. Just no. They cost around S$150. I really really really want them but I can't afford them.
Textbooks and school uniforms will easily amount to S$300. I need to buy assessment books, books for further reading, art supplies (if I start art), there's school fees...
I'd be enormously selfish to insist that I want a pair oflimited edition shoes that cost half as much as the stuff I really need.
Having too little money is a problem.
Having too much is a problem too.
