"...The voice of the famous Lebanese singer, Fairouz, echoes throughout the entire building. And why all of this? Simply because our beautiful, young new neighbor—as fresh as a lily—uncovered her ivory legs to clean the building's staircase. I wanted to offer her my help, but I hesitated because, in this building, I am not the kind of woman who excels at carrying on meaningless small talk. Anyway, I currently feel a sensation akin to suffocation because I hate Fairouz's voice; in fact, I experience a nervous and psychological shock whenever I hear it. This is not because Fairouz is a bad singer—on the contrary, her voice has made her something nearly irreplaceable—but because since childhood, I associated her music with my school days, and the teachers shouting at us for reasons that may or may not have been justified, all while those songs were played over the school's PA system."
