Called Singapore to wish relatives happy new year.
Godma/Aunt said,
We're having a feast here,
While you're so poor thing there,
Got nothing to eat.

Wah liew, thanks hor.
That was called rubbing salt to the wound.
By my very own Godma.

Met Chelle for flat viewing sessions today.
First was at Abbey Street near London Bridge.
Well-decorated new council flat,
To share with an Aussie lady.
But total rent with bills ended up too much for me.
Inconvenient transport was also undesirable.

Was going to the Denmark Hill flat,
When we passed by an spiritual shop,
Near a street called Love Walk.
Shop sold all sorts of items,
From astrology to well-being.
Bought coffee to chill out at the basement.
Pleasant surprise.
Basement lounge had low coffee tables,
With candle lights & soft sitting mats.
Super chill-out.

Was late by the time we reached Denmark Road.
No one answered the door.
Decided to drop this choice,
As the area didn't look too safe.

No new accomodation,
But all is not wasted,
As we had a good time hanging out,
And getting to know each other a little more.

Went back to work for 2 hours,
Then proceeded to Canary Wharf.
Chelvin, Jia, Ming & Teck.
Headed to Karen & Kathy's,
For the Chinese New Year party.
Lovely chinese food ---
Seafood you tiao, crispy duck in popiah skin, curry chicken...
If we have this often enough,
Maybe I wouldn't think of Singapore.

Ming & I did retarded things on the Jubilee line.
But we had fun. :]
