Shifted. On 16th June.

So why have I been missing and away for soooooooo long? 1 big reason: I've shifted home. Thank goodness it is only a 1-time thing in like 12 years, and I don't think I will be shifting home again anytime soon. All the packing (or rather dumping things into boxes), and unpacking (the yucky part of it), the getting used to the new place, getting all the basic necessities for daily living, getting all the telephone, TV and internet up (my internet speed now sucks =.=), making sure all the basic things are settled and obtained.

Now I'm "supposedly" happier and feel "richer" since I'm living in a "private estate NEW house". But many-a-times, the opposite is true. Private estate? Haha, longer and further travelling & WALKING distance (not that I'm lazy to walk, I like walking, but usually when you wear heels for work, you wouldn't wanna walk very far, trust me. =p) bigger room to clean-up, vacuum, mop, bigger toilet to wash... etc. And then there's the new living with more people in the family. Previously I used to share a unit with my mum only. She's usually not home much, so I always get the whole place to myself. Now there's my Grandma, Aunt, Mum, Bro, Sis-in-Law and the maid. And mind you, they alllllll are not soft-speakers. My room is the closest to the living/dining room and main door. Plus their voice would resonate with the walls. LOL! Goodness. (*sobs* no more late sleeps til the sun reachs more than halfway through the sky.)

I'm so unused to the roads and facilities here. *Gasp* No more auntish-shopping after work at NTUC, or the 2-min walk to a MAC and Cinema where you can even get tickets for the latest Transformers movie during the opening weekend. I think I will rely on the TV and the internet more. Feel kinda cut-out from the world actually, but nowadays the travelling on MRT everyday for 0.5 Hour is actually opening up my eyes to alot of things I've been missing out on for the past 12 years. Er, let's just say the crowd at MRTs and on buses are very different.^^ The way they dress, the way they behave and hold themselves is just....... different.

I guess 1 good thing that comes with this shifting to new home is that, all of us can stay under 1 roof. Which is kinda my grandma's wish all along, to live in a house with all family members. Having a garden is my mum's wish all along though lol! For me, I'm glad that with the larger area, maybe I can rear a dog now (if NOBODY objects, which is gonna be quite a difficult situation.) But then again, SPCA is like just a 5 min-walk away from my place.... duh!

Anyone can recommend any nice places nearby, for a kopi, chitchat or drink? I think I don't even know where is the nearest Mac outlet. ^^;; (Potong Pasir? Serangoon Central? I'm at Bartley.) Bartley MRT station is one of the places I wouldn't wanna walk through too late into the night alone! It's so quiet, and I always end up being the last few people to alight from the train. Plus there are like construction workers hanging around finishing up the Bartley Christian Church. Ok, so that will influence me not to go home too late from now onwards. Btw, there's this house near my home, which I think is very very famous, it even has a name on its own. Its called Loshan Garden, sounds very cheena right? But it actually looks very angmoh-ish. I read a sign outside the house stating that the house is actually solar-powered!

Speaking about new places, there's a new shopping centre near my office "Orchard Central". I really like the sandwiches at Quiznos Subs (rival to Subway?). It's a nice place to slowly enjoy a meal and chit-chat with friends, and it gave me the kinda feeling like I'm somewhere out there (maybe US instead of Singapore?) Coolz! Hope I get to chill-out there again sometime soon.

So there, 1 of the big reasons why I've been missing for so long. Another one of the reasons coming up soon.... hopefully can get it posted tomorrow or something. ;)

P.S. I realized the tone of my writing has changed, to something more.... child-like...... ewww =x Don't know why it's become like this, maybe due to stress.
