Living out of boxes.
The room's finally empty..
and it's surprisingly big..
heh.
everything's gone..
including my bedframe..
gonna have to sleep on just the mattress alone for at least a week before i shift out.
been shagged these few weeks..
packing the wardrobe took me an entire weekend..
the drawers of my table took me another day..
and the table top itself was a work of art..
totally horrific sight..
couldn't even see the table..only piles of papers and books..
oh wells..
these few weeks at work has been not too bad..
quite fun really..
completed 2 colours just yesterday..
heh..
damm hao lian..
:))
helped my bengster kor choose a colour for his door frame..
and made a few colour samples for him to choose..
AND made a few paint samples for him to bring home to paint the frame with.
heh.
we were super slack yesterday la..
cuz they're having this annual stocktake thingy going on today..
hence the non-existant amount of samples that i need to test.
:))
went lunching with him twice this week too..
was kinda interesting really..
must do it more oft.
and i'm super duper amazed by him.
like..
-WOAH-
he's 27 this year..
and he has..
2 kids.. 5 and 3..
which works out to be like..he's been a dad ever since he was like..22?!??
and his wifey's 25..and she's a mum at like..20!!??!!
i mean..
-jawdropper-
it took me an entire lunch to finally digest that piece of info.
and boy oh boy..
when he's 42, his kid's gonna be like 20!!
he's got a chance to be this totally cool dad..
but..he's super ah pek in his thinking la..
wahahaha..
and i seriously think he really sees me as his xiaomei now..
machiam his responsibility..
haha..
he was giving me this lecture about how NOT to spend excessively..about how it's hard to earn money etc.
aiyoo..
i almost thought he was my dad..
heh.
:))
but it was nice la..as in..through him and the rest of them..
i actually learn stuff..like..why i should think many times before spending large amounts of cash..
i mean..to me..a 5 bucks meal is peanuts..really..basically an extra value meal will set me back that much..
but to them..a 5 bucks meal is like..WOAH...
and..i'm really humbled.
cuz..my pay as an intern is way higher than the china guys..
like...even though they've been here for at least 2 years and stuff..
tho me thinks that the kor's earning at least 1.somethingK...he's been there for 7 years?
yeah..
and he thinks that nougats are v nice..cuz i grabbed a couple of those from home..dad just got back from melb.
and i mean..i've ALWAYS taken nougats for granted.
i mean...i think..he actually made me realised that i've took so many things for granted..everything that i always thought was nothing much..is..well..something in another person's eye.
and that's really humbling.
and he treated me to drinks during lunch that day..and it was prolly nothing to me..but well..he's got 2 growing kids and a wife to feed!!
so..he's cool.
and i bought fruits for him..
so..we're both cool.
so..
my DSLR's gonna be at the backseat for the time being..
and i'm still thinking about the O2 PDA thingy.
aww shucks.
having to think of money sucks.
oh.
and DO I LOOK LIKE A 17YEAR OLD KID?
HUH?
DO I?
-grumbles-
the hairdresser auntie thinks i'm in sec school..which would be 16..
the sales auntie thinks i'm 18..
this auntie from work asked me if i'm already 17..
my kor says i look 17...tho he knows my age..
and this china guy thinks i'm 15..
-____-
damm sad i tell you..damm sad..
but..
all my friends look like that wad...
we can't help it if we look young...
-whines-
heh.
oh wells...
i'm gonna take it as a compliment.
so..
i'm basically a j1 student..
yeah baby..
:)))))
so...in summary..
these weeks have been great..and tiring.
ah wells..
it's really nice to know that besides 'ogling' at each other..my bengster kor and i can have decent convos..
haha.
and well..
i'm basically the 'blur' xiaomei at work..which everyone is trying to look out for.
and kinda touched man..
real touched.
my boss looks out for me..the girls look out for me..the 2 uncles, one in my lab..the other in the factory looks out for me..and there's my kor..this other msian guy..and this china guy who are like making sure i don't get into trouble and stuff..oh..and they provide me with entertainment..heh..daily source of laughter.
a mutual thing..i'll suddenly said/do something stupid..and yeah.
:))
