amidst the sea of brown envelopes and manilas the postman greeted us with (and advertising tripe no less), my dad fished out the utilities bill from the pile and ripped it open. i would have have expected no more than a cursory glance as his eyes darted through the figures, when he shoved the letter in my face. i was met with a letter that read the following: $585.06 for electricity , $67.21 for water, etc. total damage: $728.45!
action sequence: dad's blase countenance eroding into purple lividness.
action sequence: dad's arms flailing in the air.
action sequence: dad launching in a tirade, chockful of expletives
outcome: i've been barred from the luxury of having air-conditioned rooms 24/7. curse the folks at singapore power services!
