Dream on

I'm feeling so...happy today. Dunno, why. I'm almost dirt poor with measly a hundred bucks in my pocket yet I'm feeling so happy. Well, why? Guess you really don't know where to see happiness, it may be on things you don't expected it to be. *grins*
I'm tired of ranting today, I want to enjoy this bliss for a while. The rants will come by tomorrow.
Well for now, I'll count the reasons why I'm happy today (and heheh, I must admit most of them are of material things), so here it goes:
1. I'm happy because I get to live on my own. Almost. I can almost feel it. That feeling of independence searing through your veins. It's the best thing so far that ever happen to me today. That feeling of almost independent from your mom. Whew. I can't even hear her rantings and such whenever she sees me. Which is good, very good. Because we'll be both happy, she not being pissed off with me because of such and such, and I, not being upset with her because of such and such.

And this world will be a better place.

2. I have a job. Which is really the first reason why I'm happy (except for the working part, but still I'm happy I have a job). Because of this job, I get to become almost independent, not totally, but almost, anyway it is still good. For all the jobs I tried to applied on for the past three months, I was given this kind of job. By the way I'm now working as an English tutor for Koreans. It isn't really hard, the hard part of being a teacher is dealing with students, but I've already posted here in my blog, just look for it anyway.
It's just plain ironic that for all the employers that interviewed me, a foreigner accepted me to be part of his business. My current employer is a Korean by the way. He's strict, but I can sense he's nice. He may be no-nonsense, but hey, it's typical for business people to be strict and no-nonsense right? Guess I must understand it as part of the rules now. My sempais are great, they are so hospitable and caring, and they give us the trainees some tips and tricks about the job, which will come in handy when we get to become regular employees. Though the current setback is that we're not yet signing any contract yet, and I presumed he might let us sign our contracts by payroll time. *grins*

I'm looking forward for this company that I'm part of.

3. I live in a place far from home, yet near from places of entertainment. And the best part is it has WiFi access! Sweet!!!
Okay, who wouldn't like to live in a place that has near access to the train station (as for our case, my fave MRT), the malls, the bookstores, the convention areas etc? Not to mention that somewhere out there there is a home that has WiFi and unknowingly this household are unaware that its neighbor get to have a free Internet access thanks to them? Surely it will be the perfect place to live in right? Right? Maybe you're thinking that I'm, currently living in a posh executive village guarded by four or more security guards, with park, etc. then you're wrong. I live in a almost distant relative, I mean she's my grandfather's first degree cousin (is this correct?), and this first degree cousin of his has children, which are my uncles, and together with their family, they live in this three-part apartment. It is actually just one block of a house, with three compartments, that gives you the illusion that it's three apartment that are put together.

I currently live at the farthest block. It's a little bit dingy, not to mention the dark interiors which gives you the idea that it can be haunted. Trust me, I even have those kinds of hallucinations too. But so far, the only "spooky" encounters I saw here are the cockroaches crawling to and fro and just this morning, I woke up to see that a mouse actually slept beside me! It was dark when I woke, and when I touched this creepy soft thingy from nowhere, I thought it was a caterpillar, but phew, it's just a mouse, but still it's gross. The mouse died from suffocation, I presumed, because I think I squished him/her during my sleep. Tsk. Tsk. Poor mouse.

I guess that will be the last time I will sleep on the couch, you'll never know what will be my next bed mate...

4. I get to cook my own food, and no one will scream in front of me because I cooked it the "wrong" way. I have this problem way back in our house before, and trust me, because of those scenarios I get to have my patience long. It may be hard to cook for for only yourself, or sometimes for the two of you (I live here with my cousin and my uncles, but my uncles are most of the time not here because of their work, the other one live at the other house), but the great deals here is that sometimes my uncle leaves rice for me, heheh, at least I don't have to worry about cooking rice whenever I got home.

I get to enjoy eating foods that I never enjoyed eating with my siblings, and that's life.

5. Next week, I'll get to have my first paycheck. Weeee! Well, I'm kinda wary of this, because my performance this past few weeks are kinda pretty lame, and this might affect my first paycheck, but what the heck! I'm getting my first paycheck and that what's matters for me today! >.<

I must love this job...I must...

6. I get to explore places and things which I haven't done in my dependent days...sigh, I'm must thank the Lord for this super blessings coming to me. *grins*
Well, that's all for now, ciao.
