So I figured that this was worth an LJ entry. As I type this, I'm consuming my first home-cooked meal in my new flat-pancakes with strawberry yoghurt and jam-while watching The Producers. Hurrah!
It has been a stressful time since my last update. I was struggling with my enormous stack of marking, juggling my tap exam and national training, finding a new flat, and then moving into it.
It was a tough move as the flat wasn’t ready when I had to move so I had to do the move in two shifts, once to Michele’s place to store my barang and then to the new flat itself. I stayed with my parents in Pasir Ris(!) in the interim which was terrible only because it was MILES from civilisation; and also because Su wrote me a chore list (!!!) to ‘pay’ the rent while staying at my parents’. Interestingly it included all the chores that my sisters hadn’t been doing like cleaning the toilet and mopping the floor.
But all is now well. I’m in my new flat in Lavender. A lovely little place (and I do mean little-I can barely fit all my books in the house) that is just right for one and close to any place I could possible want to go (except perhaps school). My kitchen is marvellously tiny which is a boon as it’s *so* easy to sweep up after my messy cats. I do so adore my now place, which incidentally is still in the east despite being so close to town; so YAY! I’m still an Eastener, but I’m already saving up so that I can buy an apartment and return to dear ole Marine Parade.
In the meantime I’m taking a break from rugby as the girls are playing in Kunming, China for the ARFU Worldcup so I’m actually doing relatively relaxing things like hanging out watching movies and having real dinners in the evening.
(Digression: Hmm, my pancakes taste like doughnuts.)
So yes when I eventually put up all my bookshelves and the last of my books we shall have fun things at Yin’s house!
