Finally, I get to spend a whole day with Mr Poto. It was off to a great start. After so many failures, we finally can step into HDB hub as a couple to select our home sweet home. We reached there quite early and went to see the showflat. It was just simply the sweetest feeling, walking hand in hand with him.
Happening 1: The fight between 19th floor and 17th floor. We actually went in earlier than the 110 couple, who BY RIGHT should be in front of us. We told our officer that we wish to select the 19th floor unit, and managed to get it. But when the indian couple came in, they actually wanted the same unit too. Hence, we chose 17th floor instead. Well, for me, I’m happy enough to be able to select a unit. The floor doesn’t really make a big difference to me so long as I am living together with Mr Poto. After processing our application, the officer handling the indian couple told us that they may not want to get 19th floor afterall. We thought that that was a silver lining….and after waiting for some time….they finally STILL decided to take 19th floor. Haiz….well, that’s life. But nonetheless, I’m really very thankful for our chance to have a place of our own.
Happening 2: After a near 7 years together, we finally decided to open a joint account together. (At this point in time, I was grinning from ear to ear in the bank. My emotion – pure bliss.) This is truly one of the biggest commitment on my part. Hee, happy anniversary Mr Poto!
Happening 3: Catching a noon show with Mr Poto – 27 Dresses. It’s quite a sweet show, especially for the brides-to-be. I never knew that there were brides actually wanted the bridesmaids to look less attractive by wearing those hideous dresses! This thought has never crossed my mind before. Hmmmm….what colour scheme should my bridesmaids wear? Hee….
Happening 4: I received an sms from my supervisor amidst the show. It was an unpleasant one. It only goes to show how cuckoo my boss truly is. She actually wants us to work full day on Chinese New Year’s Eve!!!!!! We are not having classes on that day, why is she so unreasonable? I’m really quite pissed off with this arrangement. No wonder so many people are leaving.
Happening 5: My uncle just passed away. Although I’m not really close to him, I really feel so sad for him. He is divorced and his children are staying with their mother. He stays alone in a rented flat. When he got admitted into the hospital, nobody knew…nobody was by his side….alone…he was all alone…..Can you imagine that? That is the worse and coldest feeling I can ever imagine. We all came to the world with someone there for us, at the very least, we still have our mothers. Leaving this world alone, all alone, it just doesn’t make sense. Uncle, I really wish that you are at a happier place. I feel for you. I truly feel for you. I hope my father won’t be too upset as well…though he still seems to smile, I know that deep down inside, he is hurting. But, I really do not know how to console him, how to ease his pain.
Happening 6: Another unfortunate event – my friend’s niece got a high fever and was admitted into the hospital. When I heard her cry, I felt sorrow in my heart too. It just seemed like quite a lot of unhappy events are happening at the same time. It seems like this year is not going to end on a happy note.
In just a day, I have experienced losses and gains. I started the day with sorrow, followed by joy and bliss, followed by appreciation, followed by frustration. Now, I’m ending it a pinch of sadness in my heart.
~The End~
