We found an apartment!!

Hao-e and i posted an ad on e-moo on Friday (advertising ourselves, how great tenants we would be etc.) And the response was indeed very good!! We got several calls and emails and finally settled on viewing 2 on Saturday (the very next day) whilst doing our laundry in between the appointments.

The first appointment was at 10am and the apartment was so close by, but we missed the 9.45am No. 1 bus. (the next bus was half an hour later.) So we trudged along South Road after getting off at the Botanical Gardens in Paget, crossing the parish border to Kent Ave in Devonshire and found the wine-coloured house. It was really nice and spacious. And the beach was 20 paces away! We couldn't find any fault with it other than the fact that we would not have the privacy since it was a house-share apartment and the supermarket was not too close by.

After yakking with the first guy for a full hour, we roasted in the sun and took a bus back to town. Off to quickie lickie laundramat to do our laundry. So many washers but not enough working dryers. Sigh. Took slightly more than 2 hours to finish the laundry. Thank God i sorted out the colours vs the whites so that shaved off 5 mins. And we seemed to have timed it perfectly cos we had lunch at bermy cuisine while waiting for our clothes. ;)

So off we went to another home in Devonshire at 2pm. This time we got lost cos i forgot the directions and we didn't have a map handy. =P It was torture lugging our clothes around all day and walking so much in my wedges. Feet were screaming by the time we got to the house. It was another apartment without much problems. Nice lawn and lindo's supermarket was like 4 mins walk away. => ooh... It was a nice-sized apartment and landlord said he would be adding new appliances eg stove, refrigerator, air-conditioner, etc. Sounded great.

We were undecided. So we prayed and asked God which apartment was better for us. Then we tossed a dollar and went for the second apartment. We paid our deposit yesterday afternoon just before going to mass and now we have a home from June!! And the address is so cute! 1 Morning Glory Drive.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...
it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh.
