Another quick and short update from me.
Finally gotten the apartment in macau on wednesday. it is huge! way bigger than my apartment in singapore.
i was suprised by the size of it. one sad thing to note is that i did not get the master bedroom. its huge too!
it is the size of the hongkong apartment’s living room. on another hand, my room is not that bad as well. at least i have
my own attached bathroom/toilet, a view of the busy street below, the macau stadium and also some bright hot sun(i can open my curtain, lie on bed and get some tan).
besides that, things are still pretty sketchy. mobile line still not ready, work permit not ready, pay not given yet…blah blah blah…
that is all for now. pictures will have to wait.

Landed around 5.20pm yesterday. Took a cab to the office to collect the key to the apartment. Had Mos Burger, and slept. Tiring first day.
went to work today. being so totally new, i just sat there watching my colleagues work. i am wondering if i can ever cope.
all they use is cantonese to troubleshoot. my cantonese is half past six. colleagues are pretty friendly people and seemed like
a crazy bunch. went and had lunch with them today and they were decent enough to bring me around and help me order food.
all the menus are in MANDARIN! i read no mandarin!!! then had a welcoming dinner with 2 of my colleagues just now.
well, that is all for today. still very tired.

This will be the last post that will be written in Singapore.
Shucks, now I am feeling sad and a little reluctant to leave.
and I will definitely be missing the life I have here and all the people that I know.
I am gonna be oh so lonely over there too.
Nothing much to say but thanks for all the great times, guys!
See you soon!

hello, this is me at an amazing early time. i have just ended my packing for the day.
lesson learned. never try to get a job that requires you to move to another city much less, country.
also, try not to buy too much stuff, especially if you do not own a home of your own. packing would be less of a hassle.
good thing bout this time though, is that i have unloaded(thrown) a lot of stuff.
now, i just need to keep my belongings to the minimum and that would ease my next move.
a lot of friends were suprised with my sudden move to leave Singapore.
i guess it is natural for them to feel that way. after all, i have never displayed any signs of
displeasure or a hint of wanting to leave. after all, i have been here for 8 to 9 years. that is
a very long time.
i would like to declare here and now, that i am a being that cannot sit still in one place.
you cannot blame me, i am a monkey. monkeys are not meant to just sit still in one place
they have to swing from tree to tree.
i am gonna be quite broke for the month of september and october. hopefully things pick up by november.
wish me luck!
