(no subject)
I am sitting on my matress on the floor in my little flat in Lavender. It is my last night here, already alien and unfamilar with my furniture unassembled and stacked in weird strcutures in my living room. I am a little melancholy at leaving, slightly distraughteven. It has been a nice cosy nook, just the size for one girl and two cats and the convience its location brought is not to be scoffed at. But living here was always scary. I never knew when I would hear screaming and shouting in the middle of the night or wake up to find paint splashed on my door. I lived in occasional terror of having my house broken into or my flat burned down.
I am moving to Bedok tomorrow. It is a pretty little neighbourhood, close to the train station (I can walk there), school, my parents. I'm going to be a real Eastener again too for which I rejoyce. I always thought of Bedok as the Bad East ie anything beyong Marine Parade but I have seen how the alternatives are worse. I will be paying a little more a month in rent and I regret the fact that I'm going to be a lot more reliant on the train.
Still, I look forward to the move tomorrow. I t is a new home, hopefully a long term one. I've already painted it and Yinnified it as much as I could before the actual move. Yes, it is PINK, and green.
And so I type my last LJ entry in my old house before my telephone line gets cut at midnight saying my last good byes.
so good bye dodgy flat and skanky neighbourhood. It was good while it lasted.
