A Place To Call My Own

Its been a hectic 1 month for me, juggling between jobs, assignment and looking for a place to stay. So I apologize, my dear friends for not updating my blog.

Today have been a lucky day for me because I've finally managed to rent a place. Its a partly furnished studio apartment and its situated at a very convenient area. Only 5 minutes walk from Soon's place. I've never thought I'd be able to get it actually because it all happened too suddenly. I only found out about the inspection this morning itself when I went online. But lucky for me the agent said he preferred me than this other German girl (who actually has already put in the deposit for the place) so he's leasing it to me. But of course I'd have to pay $5 extra each week so instead of the asking price $200 a week I'd have to pay $205 a week.

The studio is a funny little place because the bathroom is actually situated outside instead of inside. So I'd have to walk around half naked on the balcony to get the toilet everyday. Not complaining because that place is really a good deal. I've seen quite a few other places and they are all crappy and expensive. The only thing is, I haven't got a bed in the new place so I can't move in just yet. Silly Soon said he'll loan me the bed and when everyone's asleep at night we'll carry the bed together back to my new place. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in that big head of his. Just the other day when we (Soon, Ross and me) were having yum cha for lunch at Marigold he said this to Ross; 'You know, actually Chinese are very smart. Just by using 2 sticks and our finger we can manage to create chopsticks but westerners only know how to use fork, so easy! Just poke poke poke. Chinese can make use of everything around them to create something new or to replace something that they lack of. For example if girls need to make-up and they ran out of eye shadow they can use the Tumeric powder as eye shadow. See! So smart!'. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with this guy?? He could just come out with anything.

I'm really happy with my life here at the moment...minus the few stressful moments when u have to think about money and work. It really is different when you have to rent a place urself, pay for the rent and bills etc etc....It really is different from when you're living at home with parents. But its all good.....it feels like an adult hahehehea.

So that's all the time I have folks. Will update again soon.
