Why am I writing this article? I worked until 10 p.m. last night and slept at 12 midnight. When I was still in my deep sleep, at 6.35 a.m., I was suddenly awakened by yarl restaurant's loud and deafening kitchen hood noise. I have to endure another tired and sleepy day at work without 8 hours of sleep. Sleep deprivation is killing me. Because of lack of sleep, I can't focus on my work. I can't think properly and become very forgetful too. Once, I even forgot to take back my credit card - luckily the sales girl returned it to me. Sleep deprivation is supposed to be a form of torture for criminals and war prisoners. But in Malaysia, it is intended for the innocent victims of yarl restaurant. I am wondering if the 5th Annual Global Peace Convention that was held in Kuala Lumpur last week intended to promote kitchen hood noise and sleep deprivation? Why do innocent people like me have to suffer from sleep deprivation and excessive noise? Apart from yarl restaurant's loud and deafening kitchenhood noise breaking the peace and silence of the neighbourhood now, my flat is also vibrating because of the kitchen hood noise.
In actual fact, yarl restaurant's boss can turn the volume of the kitchen hood lower, but he simply refuses to so? He would only lower the volume for a little while whenever there are complaints and turn on the kitchen hood at its maximum capacity again when the complaints are over. Is it because his kitchen hood is so defective that it cannot work properly without making a lot of noise? Can there be peace with this kind of selfish people around?
I didn't go to work today. Sleep deprivation made me feel dizzy with a headache. My head seemed to be swinging and I had to take MC today. Is yarl restaurant's boss going to pay me for my MC? MCs are not cheap nowadays! Feeling much better after sleeping on the sofa. Can't even sleep in my bedroom with yarl restaurant's kitchen hood noise permeating every nook and corner of my bedroom. Is this what is meant by world peace? (This paragraph is added at 6.15 p.m. today)
