money dropping down from the sky.

Money dropping from the sky.

everyone's so busy this week and when im so free for dinners and meetups, nobody seems to be available or just too far away :/ well, ended up having dinner alone at kopitiam, and it is really my first time having dinner alone at kopitiam. im slowly beginning to get used to this solo life. heh, i dont even dare to go out or eat alone in the past. now, im able to shop alone/eat alone/go to the library alone/have a cup of coffee alone! the next thing that i can try is probably watching a movie alone. being alone feels good sometimes and when im alone, i love to go subway. currently a subway addict, thanks to jason and carmen for the recommendation.

haha, this week kind of rushed thru very fast. nothing much happened, but get to understand more of the 'adult' life after some chats with my colleagues. hah, interesting.
meanwhile, i've registered for a couple of tuition applications to be a part-time tutor, i just cant imagine how life's going to be like w/o cash in uni. hopefully some primary sch kids need math tuitions soooooon.

eh.. what else happened this week? oh yah, something pretty amazing happened. i was ABOUT to receive 800,000USD! received an email from 'Fedex' to provide details, etc in order to collect that bank draft. i've copied and pasted the contents...
