Moved...

It's 2 in the morning, and as I looked out of the window, I see most of the households in the surrounding blocks have their lights off. Hmm...not like that back in my old neighbourhood.

Yep, I've moved...I've wider and lower windows (almost like louvres that extend to the ground) in my room now, so that makes it easier for me to look out of the window and see stuff. My old house has higher windows (the old type of apartments), so given a really short girl like me, I can see the top part of opposite buildings and the sky. Let's see, the nearest blk to my apartment is still a distance away, unlike my old place, where I can look into the lower units and see the partial layout of their rooms. So that means it's more airy now and I certainly appreciate that. Yesterday, it rained so much (rain stopped some time in the night) that it made the place so much cooler. I didnt need to turn on the airconditioning nor fan when I went to bed last nite...and I had my blanket on. Oh...and I've finally fulfilled a littel fantasy of mine - to sleep next to the windows, and look out and up into the sky to see the stars. *grin*

The furniture in my bedroom isnt going to be completed till at least 2 weeks later (I can forsee that), which means to say I have to 1) sleep on a mattress on the floor till then and 2) use a low TV console as a desk for my laptop -.- What a bummer huh...but oh well...wat to do. AND, with the furniture not completed, means there are lotsa stuff I can't unpack & unload...So I'm gonna have to be surrounded by boxes of barangs. But well, at least I have settled my furniture...theoretically. I hope everything will run smooth and fit.

It's been a hectic and eventful week. Lotsa things happening, lotsa moving and lotsa life-altering and shifting...literally. haha..I've complained enuff about the moving I guess, and like I told myself (and to whoever I've complained about the moving to), that it's not going to change things. I've gotta live with it still, so may as well try to make the best of it and look at the good side of the move. There are good stuff I can associate the move with of coz, just that in my opinion, I'd rather not have to move, coz I like my old place. Sigh..oh well. Mabbe with time, I'd come to appreciate this new place more..hopefully.

I was on leave today...again yes...=) But sadly, today is the last day of my 'clearing leave period'. Time certainly flies. I went to run some errands today; and went to take some passport photos. I tried going bck to this pro studio in clementi, but sadly I could find it no more. In place is this kodak studio and so I thot "ok, why not..can't be that bad". I can tell u, I feel so cheated loh...ok, mabbe it's me, but the fellow made me sit against a white wall, used a digital camera thats not even as gd as mine, and after he printed my pictures, I could see bad cropped colours in my bckground. Sheesh...I can do a better job than him loh...my digital cam is better loh, my photo-taking skills probably better too loh...and my photoshop skills DEFINITELY better than him! All he could do and I couldn't, is printing my pictures on the instant photo paper. Kinda makes me wonder, if I had given him my photos (nicely taken & photoshopped) and asked him to just print, would he do it?...At least I would be assured the pictures turn out ok. My photos seriously look like sh*t loh. For one thing, it looked like someone had offended me. I had this grouchy, tired look, and I looked as though I didnt smile (which I did...just that it wasn't wide enuff...yeah, and the guy didnt even prompt me or tell me loh). The original studio I used to go to is good. Even with passport photos, they make u sit in their studio, give u time to freshen up, give u a professional pose, and use professional equipment. AND I'm sure the guy is professional, or at least trained. I wonder where they have shifted to. Sigh. I'm super tempted to re-take my passport photos. I think I just might...No way Im gonna submit my application form with a scroogy face like that!

I'm gonna have to cover an event tomr nite (sat nite...bummer) There's Galvin's house-warming tomr afternoon, there's the girls' nite out tomr nite. Guess I'm going for neither. I don't think I can wake erly enuff for the former, & I've gotta run back to office to grab the camera before covering the event; and for obvious reasons, I can't do the night outing too. Crap huh...

Hmm..guess Im not really in the mood to blog tonite. Coz there r so many things I wan to blog about, but don't feel like it. Till next time then.
