New Place and New Found Addiction

I moved this weekend. A place was offered to me (well, to my coworker and she took me in as roommate) and we moved in this weekend. It is a HUGE house. It is very generous of my co worker's friend who is willing to let us stay for free. The only down side is the commute time now goes up to an hour. But it is free!!

Here are some pictures:

I always know I am addicted to coffee. With nowadays I have to wait up at 6am, coffee is a must. But I also found out today that I am slightly addicted to internet. When we found out on weekend that we can't get internet at our place till we got our employment visa, there was a slight panic. It is another two weeks till we get our visa. And I am not sure how I am handling weekend without TV or internet. Today my roommate found out that we can use the copy of the temporary visa we got and apply for internet. Yay to stay connected!!!

"Rain" or Shine

I have to give myself a big round of applause that I didn't seem to suffer much jet lag. Or I should say even though I woke up at 3/4/5 am, I can still perform fairly at work. Work these days have been just reading piles and piles of documents and I haven't been sleeping at all during working hour. I am still trying to settle in but don't really have time because I am constantly working working and working. I am still trying to figure out how to get on an ultimate team. Problem is ultimate players play rain or shine. In Vancouver, it is nothing. But in Singapore, rain really mean pouring water over your head. I am not sure I like playing in that weather yet. The worse is, one minute it could be pouring water and thunder and the next minute, you see sunshine. But I think it would help me to settle in and meet some people outside of work. Last thought, I am seriously thinking I will starve myself in exchange for my coffee. I haven't been having withdrawal yet but I really really really really miss the taste of some good coffee. The instant stuff is just too awful :( Besides, starving mean I will lose weight. That could be a bonus! Hahaha!

PS. I have been too tired to take any pics. I will post some when I am not tired. Hopefully not never :)

Special Easter drama from my church.

Dying in the Heat

I kept on forgetting what it mean to be hot and humid. The moment I stepped out from Singapore airport, I suddenly remembered why I refuse to go to HK in the summer. My skin was just so sticky that I had to run to shower the moment I arrived at the guest house. Oh yeah, so I finally came to Singapore. The flight here was rather uneventful. I slept, read, slept more and eventually arrived in HK and spent a night at my brother's. The next morning I left for Singapore. Someone from the organization came and picked me up and dropped me off at the guest house. The first surprise, there is no air con in the guest house. I am so not looking forward to how I will die in the heat when the "summer" comes. The second thing, despite everything I packed with me, I forgot the most important thing, the after-bite spray. I forgot how evil and mosquito are in Asia. The moment I arrived, I bet they must have a celebration about fresh blood. I pretty much got eaten alive. The third thing is rain in Asia really mean pouring water. And I didn't realize how much I welcome the rain. Today there was pouring water in the evening. When I walked to the closest mall to grab dinner tonight, my jean were pretty much soaking wet from that 10 min walk. But the weather suddenly become bearable. Last but not least, when you live on a budget, you really think careful how you spend your money. I stood at the coffee aisle in the supermarket for a good 30 minute trying to decide if I should get some coffee mix. I already gave up my beloved Starbucks. But the coffee here was pretty awful and I am not sure I can't stand it for one more day. But I also don't know if I should spend money on coffee. In the end, I bought a S$2.4 instant mix to taste test. May be in the end I was so broke my pickyness on coffee will drop. Aii, my Starbucks :(
