The past weekend had been a big one for me. but it didn't feel as big as it should haf been.

i had stayed home on Friday as I had lots of things to do (it felt that way). i am going to have to move out of nat's plc by end of this year so i wanted to find a place asap. didn't want to scramble at the last minute. so i saved the whole friday for room-viewing, i was supposed to haf 3 rooms to view that day but 2 cancelled on me so turned out i only had one in the end. and it was at 9pm! :( i spent the day reading mostly. at least it was a good book.

i realised the market for room/flat rentals mus be realli good of late. cuz the agents are all so difficult and impossible to talk to. they are somewhat arrogant and mostly impatient. so different from 3 years ago when i was flat-hunting with my sister.. the agents were so eager to please. service was fantastic. now, i only hope they dun cheat me of my money, is all.

the room i saw that night was in bishan. ammenities aplenty and right next to 3sa. :) it is owned by a couple with 2 young children, somewhere between 1 to 4. the landlord is a nice man, friendly and smiling most of the time. the landlady is slightly more hostile. she doesn't like smiling a lot and is blunt with her words. didn't make me feel too uncomfortable tho. i thot maybe she was having a bad day, is all.

so i saw the room, i liked it. it was new, big and clean. i liked the fact that they made the room quite self sufficient. i wudn't haf to get out of the room a lot.. (i dun want to have to make small talk all the time with them). the plus point is that they did not limit me to the use of aircon.. the 1st room i saw had wanted to charge 450 with a/c, 400 w/o. and that was in punggol. super far lo. this one is in bishan, including a/c and utilities, 500. super good bargain lo.

i didn't want to go home and think abt it cuz if i did, chances are it might be snatched up before i cud decide. i was quite happy with the landlord/lady and the terms so i signed the contract on the spot. :)

one thing less to worry abt.

the day before on thursday, the guy i went for an interview with at the ad agency called me and offered me something i nv nv thot possible. i had rejected his offer as it was too low. and boy, i dun regret it! he came back with a better offer.. much much better offer. i almost fell from my chair. HAHA. but i still wanted to think abt it, considering advertising is hard work.. so i told him i wud call him back the next day to confirm. friday morning, i called the person whom i knew was working there and asked him for his views. overall, he didn't haf much to complain and thot i shud join as the new AD who was recently hired is proving to be quite an employee and wud definitely be a good person to work with. hence, right after i hung up the phone with him, i called up my future boss and accepted the offer. i will be starting 19th nov. :)

one thing less to worry abt. (was proud that i settled 2 major issues all in one day! yea!)

next thing would be my resignation. the toughest of all. argh. after that, i wud haf nothing to worry abt!!

so when saturday came, i was oredi in high spirits. I spent the whole of Saturday with him. from the moment i woke up (he picked me up at 8.30am) to half an hour before i slept (1.30am). It had been a fruitful Saturday to me.

We started our Saturday with very delicious wan tan mee at Tiong Bahru, then went to the biscuit shop and worked till 3.30pm. went back to my place at almost 4pm, played psp and just talked nonsense until 5.45pm, and headed for Ronald's hse for steamboat dinner/more PS/mahjong. It was fun. i played mahjong with Jeremy, Yuyun, and Shijian's gf (whom i didn't even get her name throughout the night of mahjong). I was winning all the way until the last round.. but ended up not losing and not winning. to me, not losing is winning oredi. :) as a beginner at mahjong, i am very happy with that!

sunday was bad (for me). i stayed home the whole day (cuz it was his mother's bdae and of cuz, i wasn't invited to dinner) and had only one meal that day. when i am alone, i tend to not want to eat. so i spent the whole day reading another book and finished it in one day. it was not bad. and after i finished the book, i went to bed at 9pm!

not too bad a sunday la.. peaceful at least.

so in a way, it had a big weekend for me.. but i dun feel like it had been as big as it shud had been. *shrugs shoulders*

wud haf been good if i saw him for a bit yday. but well, my own expectations, can't expect the same out of others.

be contented, kelly. be contented.
