Changes Galore
16th October 2005, Sunday
Ugh in the span of a week, so many changes, big and small are going to happen to my life, and everyone should know that I am the last on earth to be comfortable with changes...
On Monday I would go on to a workplace with the stark absence of BY which might takes a while longer to be accustomed to than anticipated..
However my former colleague did had a sudden interest in Japanese animes when she smsed me yesterday, enquiring for the availability of acclaimed anime series like "Full Metal Alchemist", "Samurai 7", "Gun Grave" & "12 Kingdoms", so we might still keep in touch often...
Got an latest info from mom that my friendly neighborhood hair stylist (firstly just normal $10 per cut saloon and it's like miles away in Marsiling, so not that much considered a neighborhood joint) would be shutting down their operations by the end of this month which means I need to seek a reliable barber to manage to know my "usual" style with a wink of the eye and charge a moderate sum of $10... perhaps it's time to go for the F4-long hair style...
My lass stayed over last evening as she promised to go through a mini "Densha Otoko" marathon with me till the wee hours but she dozed off in the middle of episode 3...
She had a heated arguement over the phone with a supposedly-fragile-state mom of hers over the issue of keeping their HDB apartment when her parents officially divorce.
It would really be a hassle to just shift to a new place and she would want to take over the co-ownership of the flat from her father by taking up a bank loan to pay the money-driven father the lump sum..
However a visibly disenchanted and very obstinate mother was adamant to get rid of the flat that brings her such hurtful memories, which leads to a clash of ideas and drove my lass to painful tears at the end of the conversation...
Sigh... it's something I once again had no way to resolve the issue on my part but I'm 100% behind my lass to retain the flat as the close promixity of our places made it easy for us to keep in touch with her family at all times even if she shifts over after our marriage...
Even in "Densha Otoko", the in-born Otaku, Tsuyoshi decided to make a heart-wrenching change when he gave up all his treasured games, figurines, and whatever items that bore his otaku trait as he assumed it might be his persona that irk Saori who decided to keep a distance from him after the last incident...
I could really feel for him when he had to give up something so dear to his heart to fight for something else he might not even stand a chance to win (Saori's affection)...
However not all changes are dreadful for me ...
At La Tendo, they acquired a nearby unit to keep as store for their gargantuan lump of stocks which their current store area would never be able to hold.
WIth the shift the operational store front became much neater and presentable, and we, the La Tendo clique got a better place to hang out as well as helping them with packing of their new stocks like Ferris, Ferris' brother, Bryan, myself and even Karen at the later part commited our entire Saturday afternoon in doing.
I also spent close to $200 in the process at the end of the day...yikes....doesn't help when they had a huge shipment on the day I received my pay
Mom also got me a nice heat-retaining lunch box...more like a cylindrical soup holder rather than a lunch box...well my caring mother was very concerned about me eating cold food for lunch every working day...that is definitely a good change....

Japanese word of the day: 変化~hen-ka~(Changes) One change I wouldn't mind having, is having a larger wage package...
