I’ve lost it. Don’t think I can find it back. Don’t think I want to find it back. It’s strange how events unfold themselves, how things just come and then just go. Just like that. The morning zephyr pushed aside by the humid afternoon draft.
Funny, how the things you own eventually ends up owning you.

Very Nice One
This morning, I heard the best sales pitch and it goes like this:
Every morning, before heading to work we would all stop by our favourite chinese kopitiam, aptly named 8888 for obvious reasons. This salesman has been there before. Usually selling really random items. From what I can make of it, he doesn't make that many sales (if any at all) because this is how he does his so-called sales pitch.
Imagine, you would be seated, drinking your coffee, iced Milo or whatever it is. He'll walk right up to you and extend this arm, holding the product (usually socks, pens or children's jigsaw puzzle) up to your face and mutters absolutely nothing. What do you do? You shake your head and ignore him. He'll go away.
But this morning, he was the semangat. This time selling biscuits. Again, he hold the bloody thing up to my face and mutters the best sales pitch I've ever heard, "Eh, this one very nice wan!"
I was having egg and toast, "This one also nice!" whilst pointing to my breakfast.

He walked away after that.

Shifting
Looks like I got sidetracked again! Man, blogging has really become such a chore sometimes.
After a year of almost-happens, almost-went-mad and almost-bachelor-pad, I am finally moving out. It was quite the revelation if you ask me. Lying around the sofa spacing out, reflecting and contemplating and it just hit me. For better or for worse, I need a change. Besides, walking up 3-flights of stairs everyday to get home is starting to bore the crap out of me.
After weeks of false hopes and failed deals, we (did I mention Kenneth and Devi would be my housemates?) finally found the gem of all apartment/condo rental deals. I found the number on the papers, but I was too out of it (and incredibly lazy) to call. Thank god Kenneth picked up where I unceremoniously left off and called.
It wasn’t that much of a deal if you ask me.
It was more like a steal!
1,400+ sq. ft. corner unit with 2 balcony, fully decked out kitchen cabinets (stove and vacuum included with marble top counter) along with 4 air-cond units, 2 heaters and a mountain view…4 swimming pools (infinity, wading, lap and regular pool).
I can’t wait to get moving bit over and start living in this new place! But the thought of moving…is…so…daunting. Sigh. Oh well, it’s all worth it.
