Life is

Last week, my yaya Jane left HK for the US to permanently resides somewhere in Indiana with her online beau. She’s seriously settling down with him. I didn’t know how she end up deciding things on a short notice but the poor girl was so excited as she look forward to living a new life in the Land of Opportunities.
And that moment on, I have finally realized that I am living my life alone again. Things will be as easy as they were again. Right now, I see no more old chores in the kitchen - that rice cooker will be forever unplugged from the socket, no screaming at my boobie cat when he poop in the bathroom floors, no more laundrying and definately no more hanging of clothes at the windows. I dumped the old washing machine down the street and re-arranged the tiny kitchen and gave space in the tiny living room. That long mirror at her room was long overdue. Since I moved to this apartment, I have been using only a handheld mirror and you know how difficult it is to do some grooming using inadequate size of mirror to keep yourself look pleasant, the dilemmas has now been solved. Her bedroom has now turned into a stock room where the bed is now used for my cat to sleep. She also managed to fill that jumbo box for my old belongings to ship in the next few days to the Philippines, so now it’s cluster-free and have enough rooms for my wardrobes.
So I deciced that every other weekend, I’ll take this trip to the laundry shop with my blue IKEA bag hanging on my neck for washing & ironing - the highlights of my everyday’s life, doing my own chores to the bones. I will be eating junkies again from KFC & McDonalds during this week process. I’m basically much in my own control now but since no one’s with me here, I can probably arrange a part-time housekeeper during my lazy days. And to save a little electricity, I bought hundreds of tealights at IKEA to keep things low-key at my flat. I enjoy the candles anyways and since the living room has now ‘extra’ space, I will start calling friends again to keep me company on a few weekend reds.
But then again, this leads me to another tight budgeting. I have always thought that being alone is pretty much expensive while you satisfy yourself going out spending mostly on the utterly unwanted things. I usually end up getting the things I never really think is useful for me, I got 3 pairs of silly footwears out of my Hong Bao’s (red pocket money) and as I clear old stuff out, the more I replenish them with new gears. I’ve purchased 6 shirts, 4 pairs of jeans in a week. I spent on these for the reason that I believed “new” things will give new meanings to my so-called “new beginnings” after the Chinese New Year. I’m a frequent spender on the clothes even if I still have dozens of them in my closet. Ahh, the joys of spending.
Really, shouldn’t it be just doing about those usual chores? I have not done any of these for a long time. Now, I’ve done a few chores around the flat. The fook part of it is why I had to be me cleaning those litterbins or wash the icky poop of my cat.
Oh well, I will live, somehow.

Sadly, I have now an empty wallet. I glanced at my plastic and said to myself, “You fooking retard asking me to swipe your ass to that stupid machine and now….”. Yes, now I’m making myself a coffee and puffing out the cig till I say, life is such a roll of a tissuepaper.

Gracie, Hahaha you made me laugh. let’s see if I can make it from one, two to three months. I am a big procastinator fan.
For that matter, I miss my mom cooking for me, don’t mind the yelling & nagging at the house. On the kinky side, being alone is so free. I can go ‘nekid’ and do some nasty chat. hahaha.

EAR, I love black, I mean I love to wear black, it seems odd to some but ‘glamorous’ to the eye. You know the Hong Kong people lurve ‘em like its their national color. They are so influential.
Not to be biased, if you love poetry & good rather serious writing blog, use the simple white-as-milk template, well they say.
i agree with the layout. the latest layout on your blog got me confused all the time
Hm…you’re the opposite of me. You’re white on black..mine is black on white lol.
Adopt me, Asha. I can fry the fish, boil the eggies, hahaha. You made me smile
Oh Thank you, black is black, magic isn’t it? I like the simplicity of this template, nothing fancy really.
And I thought life is/was like a box of chocolates?
Hmm, I guess living alone has it’s pros and cons. It’s gonna be weekend soon…be happy… sha la la.
Ps: I actually like this layout.
