..back writing!

after all the queit months.... i just decided to come back writing.

good news is I am leaving Singapore end of this month! it has been a so-so life in here, nothing else than many complaints that i can say about my one year and four months staying here. how bad the events are, but i just LOVE to share about them! the summary goes....

- Real estate or property agents here are $ minded and they likes to trick tenants! on my last day @ my apartment mid last year, the agent came up to my friends and I telling that the stove was broken. he suspected that we cleaned with too much water till the fire wont light up. we were like what...? we still cooked noodles a day before. we tried to fire up and what the hell happened... no fire. luckily, my friend was smart calling the gas man to come and check for us. He said that the main controller for the gas is switched off, thats why the fire wont light up. He turned on and we got the stove fixed. We were all girls staying there and we never knew that there was a main controller.... we concluded that the agent knew that we didnt know anything about gas piple and he switched off so he could charg us $250 for repair fee.

- Everyday battel: MRT rides! It is just my lucky day if in a day I dont sniff inside MRT due to the 'salted fish curry' aroma. Plus, the squeezing... now probably you know why it seems I am getting skinnier.

- Open concept bathroom. Splash spalsh and everything got wet... sigh'

- Combined kitchen and laundry area. In a HDB, the common deisgn is that the kitchen area covers the laundry area as well. When my clothes are hanging to dry, then my housemates fries some prawn crackers... All I have is two words "Oh Crap!"

- "What do you want?" those are the greetings at the local food counters here. I am so missing my days when I heard: "What would you like to have, miss?". As customer, I just want to be treated friendly....

- Morning blues. When I worked for a local company, I guess morning greeting to your collagues or boss is considered "kiss-ass" act rather than a genuine interaction of human beings. On first few Mondays, I said "Good morning! Hows your weekend?" and guess what I get in return.. a frown manager face with a broken smile on her face.

and the list still goes.......
