Theme song: Hougang saan hougang kailan… Cate and I finally moved into our flat in Hougang Central yesterday. Gelle, Joey and Peter had moved in last Monday. Addiction to the Twilight series made us want to call ourselves the Cullens. Hahaha. And so tonight, the “Cullens” decided to “hunt” in the nearby Punggol park. Okay, […]
Malled In
I’m ecstatic. We found an HDB flat at the most ideal spot – just a stone’s throw away from two malls, the Hougang MRT station and a bus stop! Nevermind that it’s on the third floor of a building that has no elevators (the exercise will do us good) and that it’s furnished with everything […]
My First Week
It was my first week at a new office. As most first weeks go, this one was quite boring, because there was nothing much to do yet. My boss took us out for lunch on my first day as a welcome to me, and we had Thai cuisine and home made ice cream for dessert. […]
AP Reunion in Singapore
Adette and Cezanne, former officemates in P&G, had their market visit in Singapore this week so we arranged to meet up for dinner. Since they wanted to buy pasalubong, they decided to go to Suntec City Mall, where my office is located (yeah, my office is inside a mall. Talk about tempting.). I led them […]
My First OFW Birthday
At the stroke of midnight, Cate greeted me a happy birthday. We were both still up, watching an episode of Grey’s Anatomy which was taking forever to buffer online. Just then, Peter called me on YM. When I answered, the other trio of the furious five yell their greetings over cyberspace. After awhile we bid […]
Moving On
Cate and I have moved on…to a new apartment. Rodel helped us bring our stuff there. I still can’t believe that 3 trolleys, a large duffel bag and a foodkeeper fit into the taxi’s trunk! I also can’t believe that cab drivers here charge right down to the last dollar. Accepting anything above the amount […]
Overday
Cate and I decide to invite ourselves for lunch at Gelle’s. They cooked lunch, we brought dessert and drinks. This is the first time we get to see their place which is located in the heart of Singapore’s red light district. The FURIOUS FIVE is reunited, and lunch gets extended to dinner. Can’t wait to […]
Best Birthday Gift Ever
“You’re way too beautiful girl that’s why it will never work…” Alejandro Manzano croons. My recruiter’s name flashes on my cellphone’s screen, and I quickly pick up the call. “I’m sorry, you didn’t get the job,” she tells me in a clipped tone. “You lost to the other applicant. You got 16 points and he […]
Long Cut
Cate and I found a lead on a cheap transient place from Peter, so we called the owner and made an appointment for viewing this afternoon. We were too lazy to check the internet for details, so I just relied on what little bits of information I got from the owner I conversed with and […]
Housed
I decided to stay at the house the whole day and watch House season 4. I felt hunger pangs at close to 2pm and decided to cook Maggi noodles soup for lunch. Again…who knew that one small pack of noodles could feed two girls? While waiting for the food to cook, we loaded the washing […]
