i miss the 8 months i spend living alone at tiong bahru..out of a sudden it juz come across my way that its been almost a year since i move back..there's good and bad points staying at different location. at serangoon, i got endless stuff to eat, a family to depend on and my domestic life taken well of. at tiong bahru, i endless stuff to do, no one to depend on and i really have to take careof myself. the 8 months is one of the best days i had in my years of life. i learn how to survive on my own, do my own laundry, change the light bulbs, fixed the blown pipe, cook my own meal, clean up the whole house and most importantly i learn to be independent. i remember whenever i'm hungry in the middle of the night, i'll will make my way to the 7-11 a few blocks away and get a bottle of alcoholic flavoured drink and some tidbits to fill my stomach up. i always hold my own movie marathon as sometimes i feel really bored at everything, even the computer seem to be a bore. i will sit infront of the tv with my oreo and milk and start dunking them. then when my project mates come over to do my project, i will convert the whole living room to a conference room. we pasted mahjong paper all over the walls and have major discussion. Jinde, my poly buddy always come to stay overnight and we had major eating session. we ordered pizza and chicken and drinks lotsa of soft drink. its like a mini party juz for the both of us. not to mention other frenz who came over my house to experiment with different sort of cooking. the most memorable one will be my frenz and i cooked angel hair pasta and it turn out to be like vermicelli. yucks... but most importantly, we had lotsa of fun. i could say this house brings me closer to my frenz but further away from my family.
at tiong bahru, i got tranquility, space and FREEDOM. after each obstacles i overcome while i lived there, i grew more confident and resourceful. it occurs to me that nothing in this world is impossible, is juz boils down to attitude. having the correct attitude and mindset can bring u farther than you can possible imagine. i learn several lessons during my stay tiong bahru.. here's one..
one night i had a terrible stomach upset and its really killing me, i make my tortourous way to the toilet and hoping i could dump some excess baggage out. it didn;t. the pain worsen and on the verge i almost faint, i could feel the toilet spinning. then my images of my family flash past me. "i can;t juz die in the toilet, its not worth it." i crawled out of the toilet and stumbled through the medinice box to find the pochai pills and gobble it down. and juz slept on the floor hoping i could recover the next morning. life is fragile, u never know when its your last moment. i learn to cherish.
indeed living there i gain some i lose some. i wasn't that close to my family anymore. there seems to be a unspoken barrier initially. i'm glad now that the situation has becom better. i'm back to becoming my mum's ah boy.
