On Standby

It will be a week before I am unemployed again.

Last Saturday was Operation Find-A-Pad and I am glad to say my search was not for long. I now have a place to stay. It is tastefully furnished, near the city and just four stops to work. Rent is very affordable and below what I budgeted for. What's more, amenities and food is everywhere. I definitely won't go hungry unless I get too lazy to eat. I even have a room with a purple wall. Fabulous. Thanks FF, owe you dinner as your agent fee *hugs*

Currently awaiting the documentation and legalities to be sorted out before a moving date is confirmed and my first day at work determined. I have decided to courier my shoes, clothes and bags down. Better than using a few luggage carriers and trying to fit it into a car. The first thing everyone asked me when I told them I'm abandoning country is, "How are you going to move your shoes?!". Easy. Just pack everything into a jumbo box and have it delivered right to the doorstep. Done. Plus, I won't be transporting everything in my cupboards. I'm going to work in one of the favourite cities of Shopaholics after all :)

As a gift to myself (we all find reasons to spoil ourselves, even for the boys), I put my name down for a Coffer after the success of Operation F.A.P. and am no.28 on the waiting list. That should give me enough time to fill up my piggy bank. But no.28! All good things come to those who wait, right?

On another note, while I was away my parents bought a house. Mind you, not a piece of furniture but a house. Before I could even put down my luggage, dad came into my room and said, "Guess what girl! We saw a house on Saturday and we bought it!". I was like, "What the... did you just say you bought a house?!".

The thing is, when it comes to my parents they're quick on making decisions and I should have not been surprised. I have come home many times to find a new car parked at the basement or woken up in the morning to find out they've gone off for a holiday without informing me. This, was the biggest surprise no doubt. I now have to move twice in the span of the next few months. *headache*

But all in all, it has been a good August. I shall count my blessings, not complain and think Coffer.
