~*~ Happy Day in School and Shopping after School ~*~
Managed to do REAL lab work in the afternoon today. Was rushing in making of pellets and scanning my samples, but truly felt very happy to be busy and doing REAL work. Weighing powders was a boring and patience-testing task. Did weighing for one hour plus prior to making of pellets. Not easy to get 1mg (0.001g) when there were so many people walking pass the weighing balance and causing vibrations (balance becomes unstable).
Dennis and I finally walk to the grassy top of the School of Arts, Media & Design. The air smells fresher and cooler there. The breeze was amazing shiok. We were not the lone 2 souls up there, there were others coming after us. Dennis was cute to suggesting picnic at the top of the building on the grass. Our food was FRUITS!! Luckily, my camera could still capture a few photos of the grassy view. NICE~
We went shopping today. Dennis is deployed to do teaching first, so he needs working clothes. Buying guy's attire is being straightforward. Tops are usually solid colour, stripes, checkers or dots. Bottoms are trousers with variation in colours, textures, and stripes. Jurong point is super crowded today. Probably it's due to x'mas frenzy. We are happy with our buys coz it's sale items with further reductions in price and we got a free towel without knowing that we are entitled for one. Wahaha~
Dennis finally get to eat his special fish burger. He said that he taste better than the teriyaki chicken burger. It was so delicious that I do not have the chance to test-taste it. I'm contented with my MOS chicken!! The corn soup took such a long long time to be ready. It then became our hot desert.
Little updates about our flat and our after-ROM lives
Went for 1st appointment with HDB, exhausted our CFF o' savings, depleted our joint account savings (cash upfront + agent's commission). Handover of key (aka 2nd appointment) to be taking place just before V'day 2010. However, we won't be getting our flat yet cos we need to give the sellers some leeway time to evacuate the flat. Will be in an awkward situation whereby WE are the true owners but the occupiers are the previous owners. My cousin agent said that it's a norm and we can't really do anything about it. I just feel that in this case, buyers are the ones on the losing end. WE should be more clear next time in our purchase, like negotiating rent. Just have to pray hard that the previous owners do not do something funny (like borrowing money from you-know-who). I have got their IC numbers! So if they do anything funny, I will report them to the police with their IC numbers!!! If everything goes smoothly, the flat will be ready by May.
We are staying apart after ROM-ing and will still be staying apart after we get the flat. My "in-laws" will be shifting into the flat while I'll still be staying with my family. I really need time to adjust to "new" lifestyle to settling down with the in-laws. Afterall, we have not gone through the traditional wedding part yet so mentally still not considered married. What's important now is to save up enough to refurnish the flat.
Taken @ someone's place. House-viewing in August of a 4-room flat. Bad fengshui.. haha~
