蓝沙

我终于找到了房间。地点正好离城市中心不远, 价钱也不错。那么我今天就开始整理我所有在这里的财产。虽然我离开了新加坡一年但是还有一些东西还在朋友的家里。居然快要搬家了,我就把这些东西搬出来整理整理一下。因为那个新房间不是很大,如果有几个大箱子撑着在里面就很满了。我打算把没用的东西全部丢了。就关一个眼睛把它们统统丢了,不管太多了。
在整理的过程,我竟然发现我的一个包包里有很多蓝色的沙。原来,装在里面的一个小模型的玻璃摆设瓶的内容倒出来了。里面装的是些小模型的贝壳和那蓝色沙。我很清楚谁给我的, 只是这一年没看到它已经把它忘了。一般的情况下,我会拿扫把把全部丢了。但是不知为四什么我自动把那些蓝沙堆起来然后放回瓶子里。无聊!是的, 完整了这个动作以后才发现自己很无聊。那瓶里有一卷绑着带的纸, 就像 message in the bottle 那样。我好奇得把那张卷子挖出来, 心里想里面是不是有写着字。果然是有的,这一年来我现在才发现。 真好笑,收了整年现在才发现。这意味着我没有哪送给我这个礼物的人细心。
可能,把这些蓝沙放回去就代表把美好的记忆收起来吧。人永远会怀念着美好的事情是不是?突然,我也觉得没那么无聊了。

Back to Reality

And so, I am now back in reality after a month or so in 'La La Land' (Read: holidaying). Actually if the period I was studying at Beijing for the past one year is counted, then my time in 'La La Land' has come to about a little bit more than one year. It was not like I didnt study back there but I gotta tell you that my life there was rest and relax compared to this hectic Singapore life; afterall, all I gotta do there was only studying a language fulltime. I didnt imply that Mandarin is easy to be learned though, I am just comparing it in terms of stressful working life versus studying life. Sorry I am such a nag here, it's just that I have to make it clear before people starting to want to kill me by saying it is easy to learn Mandarin coz I do meet a lot of people who are struggling like heck to learn it, hehehe...

Well back to this reality thingy, we all know it is not like you are in a nice resort and having your holiday. We actually need a job to get by which I dont have at the moment and of course, a place to stay which currently, I am still searching for 'the one'. If you have been living in Singapore for these past few years and aware of your surrounding news, you would have noticed that property markets are doing very well currently. So well that all the rent are lots higher right now even for renting a room. What a good timing I am in right now huh?

So what I have been doing since I landed on this island last Mon is constantly staring at the internet ad for THE job and THE room. Of course, need to go out to view those rooms too. Tiring days ahead. Hopefully can find THE ones soon.
