No more walking around in underwear anymore. No more changing clothes without closing the door. No more singing out loud in the shower. No more coming out of shower wrapped in towel. No more wearing shorts without underwear at home. No more peeing with toilet door open. No more doing push-ups or crunches in the middle of the living room.
Indirectly, my privacy had been invaded, by China.
It had been 3 days since the couple from China settled down in my house. And for the 3 days, I had only met the man twice, and the never seen the lady's face. Gone are the days where there are only men in the house. Although the house normally stinks and messes like, well, a man's house, I have gotten used to life without woman in the home. It is disturbing to see fallen long hair littering the bathroom tiles.
I did not even bother to show my face when dad first showed the couple round the house. The only incentive is the $350 per month for me to settle bills with, substantially reducing the contributions required of my income in months to come.
For 3 days, the couple had really acted like a fresh tenant. They shy away from us most of the time, only to retreat to the room after reaching home and bathing. They lead a life with no entertainment, no TV, no music, no socialising. Only the husband, the wife, and the room. God knows what kind of entertainment they can have in a room. It could be that they are trying to minimise the intrusion of our lifes, or it could be the other way round. Either way, it would mean a little change in lifestyle I could exercise in the house.
