Visit to New House
Finally paid a visit to brother's new house. Well, the owner handed over the key a couple of days ago and that means that my brother can finally start the renovation for this new house! We went to the new house to take a look and do up some wiring works. Its pretty nice I got to say.
I am not a great fan of the layout of the house in some sense though. The dining area is somewhat right smack in nowhere and its like blocking the path. The kitchen is pretty nice. I like the the tiled walls. They are really pretty! I am so glad they will be there to stay. The kitchen is very spacious too! I would love my kitchen to be so in the future, though I am harbouring ZERO hopes about that. HDB nowadays do not believe in a need for a large kitchen.
The rooms are those "old school" type, which means they are BIG! Love big rooms. Well, its something like a single double room in RH? Slightly wider than the single double rooms. Cool...
Well, learnt something about renovation. EVERYTHING COST MONEY!! To wire a lightbulb, its 35 bucks. If you need to wire 3 bulbs, do you maths. ouch. 100 bucks gone like that. Sigh. I probably need to start saving up lots of money now... Start NOW...
Thinking back about the damn decision I made at that point of time, I really feel like slapping myself. I have no one but myself to blame for that. Really feel stupid about that. Sigh. I guess I really need A LONG time to get over that... If I ever get over that...

最近比较烦
Things have been kinda frustrating recently. A thesis to write, a module to read, a life to wonder what's going on with it, a couple of BTOs to monitor. Somehow, I feel like something is kinda missing.

Push on!
Well, got kinda sick of writing my thesis, so here I am.
Sometimes, I really do not know what I am doing, why I am doing these stuff etc. Am I wasting a year just or the extra honours (sorry for the bad pun)? Or is it for the extra salary that's promised in months to come? Or is it for the better "future job prospects"? Or is it just for the passion?
I guess my biggest take away is learning how to push on in times of adversity. Walking away from adversities is never the best solution. Well, it's ironically the easiest solution. However, this easy solution is not available this year and I guess I was forced to drag myself along.
Decision making is one important lesson I gave myself. I am never good in this aspect and I don't think I am now still. However, I am sure I had improved. Not all the outcomes are desirable, not all parties are happy with those decisions I made, but that's part and parcel of decision making. Looking back, there have been a couple of painful decisions that I made. Even at this point of time, I am not too sure if they are the right one. I often ask myself "what if... what if..." Oh well, its all over, we just have to move on don't we?
Time-out over. Back to work. Perhaps writing a blog is a better way to relax than watching movies. Oh well...
