week 1 after the move
it's been almost a week since i moved down south to this little town of seremban, a new phase of life for me...
obviously, before the big move, there was packing to be done. i spent about 6 hours on sat night doing some last minute packing, and sherman thought that it was incredulous of me to expect all my things to fit into the car. :p i had to leave some things there until we can collect them during the next trip, and ended up leaving some important files behind. my own fault lah that...
apart from that, it has been good overall. there are ups and downs, but being able to discuss it with sherman and the guys helped tremendously. there have been instances where i felt overwhelmed by things but it was resolved fairly quickly. sherman told me to just relax and let the feeling of home seep in. the notion of having a place to call my own hasn't sunk in entirely yet, i think...
i'm glad to have some time and space away from a full-time job, and that i will not have to rush to settle down as would have been the case if i went into another job immediately. i have the luxury of staying at home, but not as a 'tai-tai' lah. my immediate goals for the next 3 months are to get settled down here, find my role within the family, complete my final project for the masters i'm taking and looking into the finer details of the wedding. i will also be looking into getting another job to start in jan08. of course, there are the day to day things to look into as well, as well as forming a new routine for myself.
as for adjustment to being in seremban, i have the occasional fleeting thoughts for the familiarity of the life in PJ - my housemates, the food, the places i used to go, but no deep longings as yet. perhaps i'm biased, but i think the food in PJ is better than here. after all, i've stayed in PJ for 7 years, so maybe my tastebuds have been trained to behave a certain way. haha...
i do miss being with my friends though (female companionship) - being with guys is just not the same (no offense to the guys). not that one is better than the other, but i do lack girl friends my age over here. the church also doesn't seem to have many young people my age, especially ladies. i wonder why...hoping to meet up with some friends soon...so that my daily quota of words can be met! lol
that's about it for week 1, will update again next time!

My Grandpa was once the MP and Town Council president for Seramaban... :P
Anyway, you must go to the Pasar Besar and eat the beef noodles at the food court on the 2nd floor. They are epic... Gosh i miss the noodles... everytime i'm there i'd eat 3 large bowls then tapau back to KL.
The hakka mee is also quite good.
hi nick!
din know u read my blog ;) i've eaten the beef noodles in the Pasar Besar before, but not recently. i prefer the KL soupy version tho.
hakka mee i like (i'm hakka mah!) but just that sometimes i find it too oily...if it was home-cooked probably better.
