ON A HOMELESS HOCKY
I m homeless. Sob sob.
Haha no lah. My house is currently facing some renovations, with all the living room tiles being changed and refurbished. And my parents wanna get it quickly done before the Chinese New Year.
Have been busy the past week shifting lotsa stuff and furniture out of the living room, while throwing old stuff away. Its a good time to do some spring cleaning anyway to embrace the new year.
Hai, but due to the noisy drillings and what not, plus all the extra furniture squeezed into our bedrooms, it aint a pretty or peaceful sight at home. Plus the fact that internet connection and tv (esp cable tv!) are down, I m pretty much cut off at home....
Which explains why I m at the NUS library on a Sat on the 1st week of school!!!!! WAhhaahwhahhaha!!
So ke lian right. Sobz. But ok la, I just need to tahan a bit more till Tues lydat, and the renovations ll be done. But factor in all the shifting back of new furniture etc etc, which ll prob mean that my next week ll be relatively preoccupied with "Home Improvement" again.
Celebrated Lao Kay's birthdae last night tog with KTV session at Clarke Quay area. Hmmm, not bad leh, this Apollo Centre. Can recommend to my other KTV groups of friends heh heh. Errr, but the male toilet is erm.. Not recommended to go in alone la hor.
Btw, I attended this focus group discussion at PA HQ last Thurs, where I fought for Singapore democracy at the youth & grassroots level haha. Finally, my Political Science background & knowledge came in useful.
Havent done a single reading this week. Been so pre-occupied with admin stuff, including zapping stuff, ISM, bidding etc. And I only finally got my 4 modules on Fridae, left ISM to be approved. Time to get into the groove man.
My pay cheque's finally in yayz. =) Ll be shopping for a new pair of shoes, and a new FLICK-kind of handphone. Since young, I have always wanted my own flick phone heh heh.
Some good news for us graduates this coming May. The tight labour market is expected to continue for 2008, which means higher chances of securing employment. Wages also expected to increase by 5%. Bad news is that costs of living seem to be setting to go even higher.
Oh, 1 thing which made me quite sad when I woke up this morning. My mum told me she's retrenched from her job at the Food Junction at Lot1. =(
Which means she ll have to look for another job soon. But actually I told her she can stop working oredi coz I ll be out working by May and basically our whole family ll be working liao. But she's still concerned coz me & my bro still have academic fees loans, and I think she doesnt see herself as staying at home 24/7. Knowing my mum, she ll prob get all restless. And of coz, with the retirement age being raised, I can understand as well why she wants to continue working.
Actually, I was thinking while I was riding todae, that I actually inherited quite a no of traits from my mum. Some good some bad. You know, its just 1 of those things that u dun really think about when ya still very young. But it only gradually dawns on u when u grow up.
Thinking about some of these traits really make me smile to myself. Esp 1 of which explains why I always argue with her since young heh heh. I hope she gets really proud & happy during my commencement ceremony later this year.
