[181005] e place that is called 'north' despite being situated in e west (OK lah e cat knows enough geography to understand e reasoning behind e name), behind e Ministry of Errors (in exam questions for 12-year-olds), is extra clean today.
as e cat was walking out of this place yesterday evening, cleaners & contractors were out in full force cleaning even e ceiling of e driveway of a building. lagi best, they were hurriedly repainting e ceiling of e lobby of one building. e cat didn't walk through any of e others so it has no idea if there were 6 other painters frantically painting away in 6 other buildings.
e cat thinks that this may have something to do with e totally frantic contractor & totally not frantic foreign construction workers rushing yesterday afternoon to finish up some work beneath 3 sculptures(?) that look like (to all who work in e place) 3 guys running to e loo.
yup, whoever designed e place used e same design for e 3 sculptures AND e signs that indicate 'Male' on all e doors that lead to every single guys' loo in all 7 buildings in e place =P good thing that e 3 sculptures that need to pee appear to be running away rather than towards e waterfall ;)
& e cat also thinks that this may have something to do with e summary execution of a whole row of colourful advertisement signboards that were strategically placed to be hidden by a whole row of less colourful (but far more beautiful) trees. one day e signboards were all felled & left lying on e slope as if they had been hacked off at e signboard-equivalent-of-ankles. a few days later e carnage was cleared, leaving behind e concrete stumps. maybe someone decided that they were far too ugly to have around despite e best efforts of e trees to shield them from public eye. e cat wonders what percentage of e $500 million that it took to build this place do these signboards constitute?
so much for all these (& a lot lot more). guess who's coming? ;)
(despite all e attention paid to ceilings, nope it isn't e tallest of them holding state office)
[071105 update] for e first time ever, e 'sky bridges' linking e buildings were actually used - when that guy came. they were incomplete when we moved into this place, & even after they were completed, remained sealed off. guess they were specially designed for his personal use. too bad for everyone else, we have to continue to walk through e underground carpark to get from building to building whenever it rains, & our dreams of watching glorious sunsets standing in e middle of one of these 'sky bridges' will just hafta remain as dreams ;)
