warmth
on a cold rainy day, it's so nice n comfty w d warmth beside dear when he met me for lunch aft my live cell imaging trainin today...
plans
一转眼，第二个星期也过了... ya... ended my 2nd work week le n thr r more to go. well, actually, i do think of next plan... s in my future endeavour... shall i cont'd here forever or for long??? i doubt so cos of d pay oso la. but i'm glad i'm employed now. can u imagine if i not workin nw. totally no income leh plus gotta pay poly sch fee. but nw tt i'm employed, i decided n had increase my mthly repayment amt. i wanna clear debt in shortest possible time. esp b4 uni fee started comin n rollin.
i was stupid n naive last time. dad had a pt, payin min means less siong for me. but den, w not many friends n no exp, i believed tt though i b payin interest, at least it's to dad. however, nw, i find tt it's not tt true. bank loan or cpf loan, both oso got interest. if i no touch his cpf, his cpf money will oso cont'd to grow interest. d interest incurred to me is oso wat he could earn if i didn't use his account for edu. so i had been payin his interest all these yrs for him instead of he got d interest fr d cpf board aka govt. so in a way, actually, i should pay whatever i could afford last time. den i pay less interest. i save tt amt of interest for my use while dad will still cont'd to accumulate d interest fr cpf board. thus, w/o tellin dad, i increase my amt le. s for my uni fee, i oso check out d max amt i can repay in d shortest possible time though can repay in 12 yrs installment. by payin d max amt i can afford, i can save 2-2.5k of interest leh. n not say dad wont get tt 2-2.5k. he will oso, so it's a win-win situation. guess d economics n biz mgmt course i took oso did make me 开窍. haha.
oh well, anw, back track to last week. prof assigned me a proj trial w d graduate student i was under last time durin attachment & FYP & so i guess i'll b pairin w her. workin w her. in a way, oso quite gd for me la. cos we partner till in a way tt i reach work early, i start work 1st, den she go back ltr, so she cont'd. n since weekend she comin back to do exp plus i get cells fr her, basically i can say i mostly no need go back on weekend or PH. so i guess it's gd for me. this is wat attract me to stay on. but she will oso graduate in 1-2 yrs. so she'll oso leave den surely i wont b so 好命 la. watever it is, 走一步看一步ba...
sat, went to my friend's new place at punggol. a nice n cosy place jus for 2 pax. not tt many things oso. tt's my aim for future cos seein my hse so pack make it look so much smaller. plus, oso not tt easy to clean. so it'll b gd w s little things, min deco items, smooth, plain surface for easy wipin. haha. anw, i like d idea of savin water in her bathrooms. at least wont waste water. well, at her place, felt kind sua ku. cos recent flat no longer use bamboo pole to dry clothes le. so i was like snappin photo here n thr. hehe.
tt same day, i last min met up w d friend who we always try to catch each other. somehow, tt day she oso tryin to find if i free to watch harry potter but den i didn't noe. so by d time, it was too late. left only front 2 row or something like tt so we forget it. cos both of us experience d agony for sittin on 1st row esp tt was an action pack movie aka transformer part 1.
she told me bout her interview encounter & gave me advice. n she asked me to job hop within 3 mths. er... bit kua zhang. i jus started work lor. well, tt friend actually advice me to jump totally out. she insists tt i do ve experience like my purchasin background n say tt i must push all these knowlegde out. it's like wat she was sayin was like wat d manager of my ex-colleagues had told me last week. so i shall heel their advice when i managed to find n b shortlisted for interview. but before tt, i must prep CV instead of jus resume. resume is summary of everything. it doesn't emphasis what i noe or did before. lots of work need to b done but wat had to b done will ve to b done.
aft wat my ex-colleagues' manager n wat my friend had told me, it made me think bout it. 3 mths to job hop is bit kua zhang n i'll feel bad so i give it till 2012? 2-3 days ago, prof suddenly jus ask me find quotation n purchase things. tt's wat i did b4 so i not sure if tt's d reason, so he simply jus tell me wat he wanted. n i had no other info. well, lucky me. i did save d info fr my previous job. it's of use nw. it really did cos d vendor gave me quotation of a much sophisicated n much expensive equipment n it's d same vendor i looked for yrs ago. hehe. don treat me s a noble can? u messin w wrong pax. haha.
n gettin quotation n doin purchasing is wat i did b4 so it's really nothing new to me. no need learn much. jus need update of info cos i'd been away for 4 yrs. so in a way, it really proof to me tt i do ve such experience like wat my friend n d manager had told me. but instead of total switch of field, which i bet thr is still difficulties though i can try sell wat i can do, i ve another idea. but i need to find out more. cos tt'll b a steppin stone oso. n hopefully i can earn bit more. but i don 排除 total field switch. well, quite bad of me to think of leavin when i was in midst of 2nd workin week. haha. ;p
so my 1st step is to find out more fr my friends. if suitable, i shall implement my search. oso cos i must try to earn more plus i'm not 18 or 19 anymore to play ard. but at least w a job now, i'm still financially 'stable' for me to find out more. i hope i can get wat i wanted.
anw, i fail my plan to sell off my piano though i nvr tot of profitting fr it cos i'll gave money back to dad. mum seemed to wanna keep it which i see no pt since thr r still many yrs of warranty now. best to sell it b4 it become valueless ma. so i guess unless i can find real gd value for it, if not, i guess i'll ve to keep it n cont'd w d maintenance. haiz... guess gotta keep aside $1/day for d maintenance le. it may not b much but den d livin std is gettin more exp. $1/day is actually alot in a way than to waste it off like tt. at least i can eat slightly better leh. watever la. see hw in future but if anyone know of someone gettin a 2nd hand piano, let me noe wor.
i was stupid n naive last time. dad had a pt, payin min means less siong for me. but den, w not many friends n no exp, i believed tt though i b payin interest, at least it's to dad. however, nw, i find tt it's not tt true. bank loan or cpf loan, both oso got interest. if i no touch his cpf, his cpf money will oso cont'd to grow interest. d interest incurred to me is oso wat he could earn if i didn't use his account for edu. so i had been payin his interest all these yrs for him instead of he got d interest fr d cpf board aka govt. so in a way, actually, i should pay whatever i could afford last time. den i pay less interest. i save tt amt of interest for my use while dad will still cont'd to accumulate d interest fr cpf board. thus, w/o tellin dad, i increase my amt le. s for my uni fee, i oso check out d max amt i can repay in d shortest possible time though can repay in 12 yrs installment. by payin d max amt i can afford, i can save 2-2.5k of interest leh. n not say dad wont get tt 2-2.5k. he will oso, so it's a win-win situation. guess d economics n biz mgmt course i took oso did make me 开窍. haha.

stuck but secured
though i'm d 1st to leave amg d gp of friends, aft makin a big round, i'm still stuck in d same place. d only diff is i'm always holdin diff positions confusin those othes who noe me.
havin worked 4 yrs s a lab tech, i become a student for another 4 yrs, n nw workin s a PO. hopefully wont stay another 4 yrs till i move on le ba. tt's bit too long le.
while i was a student, i got many opportunities to work in lab, in office, in store, s attachment student, s FYP student, etc. thus, i knew i confused countless of ppl who must b wonderin wat position i'm holdin. but nw, don worry. i'm not back for more confusion. jus wanna b employed while searchin for a better offer elsewhr. preferrably non-lab based or non-research based w better prospect n advancement, n w better pay n benefit too. i wont request for even higher pay job but min same pay s nw w all d bonus n benefit la. if thr r such lobang, let me noe.
well, aft days of worries n slpless night, i finalized my expenditure budget n budget plans for my poly n uni repayment.
sorry dear for buggin u w d figures all these days till u say u got sick of it. but i still wanna thank you for ur support cos nw tt i finalized, though really really min savings, so long s i 省着点用, i might still b able to save slightly slightly more n by slightly more than 5 yrs, i should b clear of debts. n if i can find a job w addition of bonuses, i cfm believed i'll do even better than nw. so keepin fingers cross for nw.
cant imagine if i nvr take up this job offer though eventually found out tt thr r no bonus. if not, den i duno ve to wait for duno hw long den i'll get my 1st pay. think i cant even survive till den cos broke liao. at least nw, every mth i still got $$ to clear bills, meals, transport, poly sch fees, etc.
anw, aiming to clear poly sch fee by mid 2012. don wanna pay min anymore cos will drag till 2013. at least by den, i can focus on my uni fee. n i oso wanna clear in d shortest possible yrs to min d interest incur. since when $$ go into dad's cpf acc, he can oso accumulate d same remaining interets fr cpf ma. n yet i no need pay d extra interest. he get his interest, i get to save more. win-win wor.
i jus realized i so stupid when i graduated fr poly. tt time, go listen to dad n pay min sum. true tt it wont hit me so much every mth, but d amt of interest tt accumulate is not gonna b a small sum. esp when i cant clear off n den had to put on hold while i study n d interest cont'd accumulate. tt time, i should ve jus clear off d remaining but scare not enough $$ to last till i graduate ma.
oso realized tt actually, cpf loan fr dad or fr bank actually not much diff. mayb diff is d interest rate ba. but eventually still gotta pay interest. so no matter whr u loan fr. even if fr bank, dad's cpf will still accumulate interest fr cpf board. was really brain washed by them tt time but nw i got more sharp le.
well well, nw tt i settle my calculation, i bet i can slp better tonight. i really hope so. it's really hard to last thru d day like tt. d only time i can slp better is when dear is beside. while he surf d net, i doze off beside leanin on his shoulder cos felt so relax n secure cos he's thr givin me support but he is only ard for a short while den all d worries kick in. pls pls let me slp better tonight ba

solve w plain bread s all my meals?
solution: eat plain bread daily, drink water fr water cooler, don fall sick, n mayb i should sell off my piano. though money should go to my dad cos he paid most of it except tt i pay mayb one fifth to one quarter of d amt only. at least i no need to maintain it every yr.
oh ya. leisure n tour is no longer included in my expenses le. & oso i jus realized i nvr tot of gettin even clothes for myself once a while. great... mayb shall cont'd wear clothes even if torn...
if they still not satisfied n wanna compare w their friends/colleagues, mayb they should kill me instead. no no. mayb they should curse me to die immediately in an accident. once n for all, den they can get d insurance money. haiz...

financial crisis
OMG...
today is my 1st day of work. last nite insomnia again. this time cos i was vex w d pay amt & hw to sort things out s in for all d expenses. thks to d small pay & oso no bonus...
option 1: i give my parents more but den in far future, i ve to cut their 'salaries'.
option 2: i give them watever i could afford in future rather than nw so no 'pay cut' for them?
think of it, option 2 seems gd. it oso means i can save up d rest of d amt nw. but... d prob is... i'm in debt of my poly n uni fee...
today, my friend told me tt actually d pay amt stated exclude own cpf contribution so which means i need to minus 20% off. n based on logic, my uni fee min payback sum should b d 4 times of my poly min sum. but is it really true? or is it more?
substracting only my own expenses for insurance, food n transport n all d cfm gifts amt for occassion like bday, mothers' day, CNY, mid-autumn fest, x'mas, weddins, hse warming, bb showers, etc etc, n oso all d basic necessities, utilities, misc, i'm jus left w estimate of less than $200. this exclude d amt for my uni sch fee n d amt to give my parents n grandma n godma.
so, even option 2 is not applicable for me. but if i don give any to them, surely they wont b happy. they alrdy been sayin their friends/colleagues got like hundreds fr their kids every mth n on their bday. but den even my plan for their bday celebration amt is jus a 2 whole no & no whr near d 3 digit figure which they seemed to b expecting.
w only less than 200 to settle their allowance n my uni fee, even if i gave my parents only w jus 100 per mth, it oso seemed too little. n tt means my uni fee is another prob.
i shouldn't ve study uni since there isn't much increase in pay anyway esp when there is no bonus. i b better off w/o d uni cert cos i wont b in d heavier debt of d uni sch fee s compared to my poly sch fee.
wat should i do? i noe cfm i cannot give them more nw. tt's for sure though cpf haven bug me to return d $$. cos if by den, i sure ve to cut d amt even more to give them.
tt's y i was so stress up on sat when mum kip sayin tt my aunt should get money fr my cousin for all d trips, etc. i'm in d wrong field la. even my dad earn so much more than me lor.

Graduation trip
Went for a longer trip with my parents & dear. initially i only asked if dear can accompany me for a slight longer trip instead of just 3d2n. was expectin like mayb 5d4n or so but in d end, aft researchin on, he found d shanghai trip worth gg for cos it's 7-8 days. & since it's gp tour n need to ve a min no of ppl b4 it's green light for d tour to proceed, he asked my parents along.
we left singapore in d afternoon of 24 june & reach hangzhou 12 midnight +/- & we left hangzhou jus aft 12 midnight on 2 July. we went to many places like hangzhou, suzhou, wuxi, luzhi, nanjing and spend 3 nights in shanghai. followin tour, many places like d pearl ctr, jade ctr, etc r unavoidable but sorry ah. not catchin my attention for such places. brought some tea back so can put in office n at home to drink.
btw, d ave travellin time fr places to place is ~1.5-3 h. plus d flight is bout 5 h in budget airline w/o much room for movement. it's really a torture durin all d travelling. but it's an eye opener. their expressway/highway is unlike ours whr we only ve 1 layer of overlap. theirs seemed to loop ard w many layers. think i got see up to 4 or 5 layers fr d bottom up n i'm not sure hw high but definitely more than 7 or 8 stories high for d 3th or 4th layer.
i was dyin to get back to sg even when we haven even reach shanghai cos i got sick of d chinese meals daily. ave excludin white rice n most of d time dessert of water melon, thr r total of 9-10 other dishes for both lunch n dinner. most of d time, we got cabbage, egg, tomato, big bean sprout & when i think tt lunch or dinner is comin, though hungry, my stomach started to turn off. i miss singapore whr we can get variety of food, jap, korean, chinese, western, italian, etc. i got so sick tt till nw, i still repel fr mixed veg rice or similar. *shivered* & their beer is like their plain water. every meal oso got. my 1st time drink beer for every meal when i reach thr but i stopped aft i got sick of d food cos i noe beer is no gd for my tummy den.
well, in addition to d amt we pay in singapore for air tix, accom & tours, thr is an additional compulsory tour of rmb 400 plus d tour guide n bell boy tips of rmb 250. we oso add on an addition trip to a shoppin area + a performance at shanghai 'esplanade' for rmb 280 which we felt tt d whole trip is worth cos all d hotel we stay seemed really gd. for some, we seemed to be stayin in those biz suite.
anw, d photo below summarized most of d trip:
Cruise on West Lake (Hangzhou) - it's raining cats & dogs; dampen the whole atmosphere if not it would ve such nice n beautiful view - a big disappointment
Lunch at Hangzhou
Suzhou Industrial Park - place whr singapore seemed to help build or so
Hanshan Temple & Santang Historial and Cultural Street in Suzhou (but for the Santang place, we only were thr to take pic)
Dinner in Suzhou
Check in to Nanlin Hotel in Suzhou after our dinner
20110626
Wangshi Garden in Suzhou - status of the wealthy ppl
Lunch after visiting Longevity Silk Factory - bought a set of king size silk mattress cover & blanket (our king size is their queen size & they had got 2 size larger than our king size bed. wow)
Dr Sun Yat-Sen's Mausoleum (Nanjing) - the place where Dr Sun was buried & we have to climb 300 flights of stairs before reaching the top to see the statue but it's worth the climb to see the majestic view of scenaries.
Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall - this place showcase people who were killed by the Jap. It's theme is black & white (pic taken by dad)
Dinner at Nanjing
Fuzimiao District (Nanjing) - they sell squirrel oso, n all pets were cages in small enclosure. poor things
Glarun Jinling Hotel (Nanjing)

i was dyin to get back to sg even when we haven even reach shanghai cos i got sick of d chinese meals daily. ave excludin white rice n most of d time dessert of water melon, thr r total of 9-10 other dishes for both lunch n dinner. most of d time, we got cabbage, egg, tomato, big bean sprout & when i think tt lunch or dinner is comin, though hungry, my stomach started to turn off. i miss singapore whr we can get variety of food, jap, korean, chinese, western, italian, etc. i got so sick tt till nw, i still repel fr mixed veg rice or similar. *shivered* & their beer is like their plain water. every meal oso got. my 1st time drink beer for every meal when i reach thr but i stopped aft i got sick of d food cos i noe beer is no gd for my tummy den.
well, in addition to d amt we pay in singapore for air tix, accom & tours, thr is an additional compulsory tour of rmb 400 plus d tour guide n bell boy tips of rmb 250. we oso add on an addition trip to a shoppin area + a performance at shanghai 'esplanade' for rmb 280 which we felt tt d whole trip is worth cos all d hotel we stay seemed really gd. for some, we seemed to be stayin in those biz suite.

overdoing
is tt a joke? if so, u r overdoin it le. but to me, in front of me & others, it's no longer a joke. y is it tt u always wanna joke this way in front of me & others? y not behind me or only to me? it's like on purpose lor. u ain't givin me any leeway for chance to react. i can't say or comment anything. yes or no oso not right. if i say u back, u b angry cos u feel lose face. WTF...
so wat if i graduated n b startin work on comin mon. so wat if i'm a uni graduate. alrdy told u i no bonus, no 13th mth. & oso u noe i wont b paid highly. in fact, jus slight increase fr my last full time pay n jus slight increase in d annual salary cos no bonus at all. in front of me, so nice say u understand. in front of ppl, use their son to 'joke' n hint me? say he working liao den parents can ask $$ for tours. it's time for parents to slow down n go for tours. hw can i say yes? if i got spare cash n can sponsor u once a while for either nearby or far trip, u should b happy. yet, is it tt u expect tt all d trip u wanna go (near or far), u should ask $$ fr me? if u wanna go 10 trips/yr, den i shall sponsor all 10 trips? can i afford? if say no, den wat? ppl will sure think i unfilial? do u noe hw bad i felt when i was told back to do d same?
u oso noe i'm in debt of my poly n uni sch fee. yes, i haven clear my poly sch fee cos my dad ask me pay min tt time so s not to put too much burden on me. but den look. nw i got 2 sch fee to pay back. so u think hw much will i ve left? thr r many things for me to settle soon oso leh. n u said u understand.
lucky me. was so worried bout my overseas data roamin charges. luckily jus $30+ & not hundreds or thousands like those fr d news.
jus imagine aft 4 yrs of study, w/o askin for any cents fr u or anyone? i pay for my phone bills, ur phone bills which sometimes u overspent, my life insurance, my short getaway trips, my transport, my textbooks, my piano sch fee den, my piano maintenance, my laptop, my laptop maintenance, my medical bills, my misc sch fee, my haircut, etc. y do i do part time? y do i work so hard? cos i noe $$ is impt n i don wanna burden u both.
i'm grateful tt once a while when u both strike 4d or so, n u give me some small amt. but in fact, u no need to give me. lottery this kind of thing, actually to think of it, it's more out den in. tt's y i reject in 1st place n not simply out of courtesy.
i'm grateful tt u both sponsor me for d shanghai trip n give me some $$ to spent thr. in fact, yes, i noe i low on cash. but i nvr thought of wanting $$ fr u or any sponsorship. i was super pissed when eventually, u keep askin me hw much RMB i ve left. i rather u keep d $$ u give me n i change d $$ myself. i noe based on my shoppin skill, i surely wont get something which i no need n not overspent like u both on jade bangle, jade pendant, stacks of tea.... at least, i believed i would feel happier cos i'm spendin my own $$ no not constantly being ask hw much i ve left cos u both not enough $$. wat pissed me more is tt when D asked me, i ask back to check hw much 3 of us ve left so i can roughly noe how to ration out d spendin. yet i was told tt M wanna keep her RMB for her own spendin. jus cos my RMB isn't originated fr my own pocket so i'm not entitled to spend n needed tt for backup?
n i wont b surprise if u both will link d part whr parents askin their kid for $$ for tour to all d sponsorship for my past tour but it's not fair. when i was workin yrs ago, did u wanna go for tour, when i was back to sch, u started to want to go for tour. i can don go but would u agree, u wan me go n u pay so? den aft i noe dear n when we go for those short getaway, i nvr get any $$ fr u. i used my own spending. HK is cos u both wanna go. u think i happy thr? it was a dread for being caught in btw. so it'll b really unfair if u would link up tt for askin for all d trip sponsorship for both of u. can u b reasonable? do u ve ur own retirement plan?
i ve mine. if i got kid(s), aft they r independent n when i reach retirement age, i would sell off my hse n get a studio unit to stay. d $$ i ve, i shall slowly use for basic necessities n meals n go for affordable trips within my means. i don wanna depend on ppl. i wanna b independent. i wanna b free. not to see ppl face.
i'm sick n tired. mon i'm startin work. yet this is wat i got. i felt like i'm ur investment. nw it's time for returns. i'll b ur atm when my life is jus 'startin' n thr is a long way for me to go when u can slow down since 8 yrs ago cos u both no need to support me. do u really wanna drain me like tt? yes i can eat plain bread daily. is tt wat u expect me to do so tt i can get my life going n to sponsor all ur trips, etc?
i'm sick n tired of hearin u say tt d 2 sons of our family friend gave his parents hw much a mth n each give 1k bday angbao to each parent. esp when in fact, d amt isn't so huge. u alrdy exaggerate it. is tt wat u expect fr me? do u noe hw much they earn s compare to me?
i'm sick n tired of hearin u say tt 1 of d son would bring d mom out durin day to eat here or thr. wat's his job? he's a financial consultant. he meet client mainly at night so daytime more free n he got car. so he can bring his mom out to eat. for my job, no OT is alrdy gd enough. OT oso no $$, OT oso no time off. PH or WE no need work oso gd enough cos i'll b growin animal cells leh.
i'm sick n tired of hearin u say tt ur colleague son, a uni graduate earn hw much n ask for hw much pay n got hw much bonus n gave parents hw much. wat field is he in while wat field m i in? i can say i'm not talented for tt kinda education n career. can u accept me for who i'm?
in front of me, u treat like u v modern n understandin. in fact, ur thinking so old. expect uni graduate to get high pay, gd job, gd life. if u think i'm bluffin u, i don mind printin out my pay slip n show u every mth. still don believed, go my HR ask for d proof lor. in fact, i'm gettin much lesser pay than my dad who nvr graduate fr even pri sch. i bluff u for wat? i still need to save up for emergency. i'm scare since poly incident. somemore, my godma who always give me $$ oso is facin some health prob nw. her job security is at risk. if she really need help, monetary or so, can i don help? she no kids no husband oso. somemore, i'm d only child. so touchwood if anything happen at home, i'll b d only one to face everything. i got no one to share d load w (esp monetary). n everyone will grow old. 生老病死 is an unavoidable process. if everyone can b so lucky to jus 生老死, hw gd it would be. not tt i wanna think on bad side la but ve to b prep for any kinds of prob ma.
so pls, b4 u decide to say or comment anything, pls put urself in my shoe can or not? i'm alrdy tryin my best. i'm really dyin hard to get away. no wonder at d 'bi xiu' shop, aft lookin at my name, d feng shui master say tt it's best for me to venture my career overseas or away fr home. it guess not for my career but for my whole life.
d more u do/say, d more u r pushin me away fr u. d more i would bounce away cos thr is always a limit in every one. i alrdy hold back n not to talk back in front of others. if not surely, u'll b angry n say i make u lose face. pls stop all d nonsense cos i really cant take it anymore.
so wat if i graduated n b startin work on comin mon. so wat if i'm a uni graduate. alrdy told u i no bonus, no 13th mth. & oso u noe i wont b paid highly. in fact, jus slight increase fr my last full time pay n jus slight increase in d annual salary cos no bonus at all. in front of me, so nice say u understand. in front of ppl, use their son to 'joke' n hint me? say he working liao den parents can ask $$ for tours. it's time for parents to slow down n go for tours. hw can i say yes? if i got spare cash n can sponsor u once a while for either nearby or far trip, u should b happy. yet, is it tt u expect tt all d trip u wanna go (near or far), u should ask $$ fr me? if u wanna go 10 trips/yr, den i shall sponsor all 10 trips? can i afford? if say no, den wat? ppl will sure think i unfilial? do u noe hw bad i felt when i was told back to do d same?

pre-employment trip
jus ended my 2nd trip tt came jus aft my graduation trip to shanghai... this time, went to bintan. my 1st time thr but think it's d 3rd time or so for dear. if not cos of dis trip, i would ve started working for prob 5 days le. compared to d shanghai trip, this is a more relaxing one. sleep till wake up naturally, watch drama, laze around, go for traditional massage which is cheap n shiok.
d only unhappy part is tt, i met w my 1st vehicle accident since i gotten my drivin license. it's was d buggy accident. turned into wrong lane while driving back to villa to get bottle water before wanting to go book ktv for d night den go to d pasar oleh-oleh for d massage which was d plan for our 2nd day thr. my plan was to drive back to d villa den let dear drive but i drove to wrong lane n while reversin out, duno for wat reason, stepped on d accelerator instead of brake. not used to d pedal size n location la... :( hw stupid. ended up in grass patch while 1 wheel hanging above a small drain. was so afraid d damage was super ex but i guess still managable but aft i get my pay la.
anw, though i beginner in playin pool, felt tt 1h pool is better than 1 game of pool cos i can get to play more. try more times. need many practice n skill sia. like hw to ctrl d white ball, whr to stop, etc.
if not cos of d buggy accident, d trip spendin is actually really small. cos we got d villa w kitchen stove, microwave oven, etc, we brought frozen pizza, loaf of white bread, cheese, strawberry jam, tea, coffee, cereal, mee sua & instant porridge + 2 lor neng (egg). so we only spend on 2 meals while d rest we eat in. n dear insisted on cookin d mee sua & porridge for us but like usual, he don wan me ard to see. hehe.
oh ya. did i mention, d villa is hugh, think bigger than current 4 room flat though total oso got 3 bedrooms, 2 bathroom, 1 kitchen + dining area, 1 living rm, 1 service yard & thr is oso a bbq pit + bench w table + swing outside. & d resort is sellin few of d villas. such villa cost sgd375k wor. exp or not u decide ba. but i felt it is. imagine surroundin nothing to shop or walk ard unlike in singapore.
but good times ended today while my work is commencing on coming monday. really dread d day esp aft days of holidaying & relaxing + it's not my home, so don even need to bother to do any housework. but of course got wash all d dishes la. but d place is bit too big for 2 pax la. cos we mainly stay in bedroom watchin tv. didn't even enter d other 2 room. guess tt might wat it'll feel like if get own place to stay. if can, i still wish i can don come back so no need work. been havin weird dreams lately... bout wantin to try find clothes for work, etc. haiz... but i need d salary cos soon i gonna pay back d uni sch fee in addition to my poly sch fee. & my data roaming bill when i was at shanghai. hope it's not gonna b too exp cos i really nvr wanna used it at all but forgotten tt i must off when overseas. & oso, i actually haven pay back dear for this bintan trip actually. told him i owe him 1st cos till my pay, i cant overspent. luckily my shanghai trip was sponsored for but den...
