NEW ROOMMATE REPORT

work is tough here. but i'll get back to that later.

now let's talk about my new roommate.. he has arrived. he may not be ANYTHING that i hoped for, but i have a good feeling that we can click. at least he's funny - in a self-depreciating kind of way (which is MY kind of funny too). and that's important. i don't quite know wheter he's one of US or not just yet - but i still feel that the possiblity is there due to the following reasons:

1. he's a self-proclaimed dancer - ok, we were having dinner with another female colleague and he asked her "so what do you during your freetime?" and she replied " oh.. i read, i play the organ, i dance" and he was quick to interject "really? i love to dance too!" erkk.. that's like a very plu thing to say right? i wouldn't say anything like that because it might pecah the lobang. so it's either he is a man EXTREMELY secured in his manhood or he is a plu who had a 'pecah lobang' moment. i have yet to find out.

2. in my previous entry, i hoped that he can cook, good at d.i.y (don't get any ideas crashboombang!) and a tech junkie. he said that he cooks - but mostly sardines and nuggets. well that's just about my level of expertise.. sigh. and today (believe it or not) he confessed that he is terrible when it comes to d.i.y and tech stuff. and i did not even ask him! sounds a bit TOO familiar now...

but there are also things that has made me think that he could actually be normal. for one, he used the phrase "check out the babes" more than twice within the last 24 hours. but i can't tell ... cos i do that too sometimes (just to throw off any radar that was on me at that time)

well, i'm not going to spend my night thinking whether he is or isn't cos really i don't care. i'm not atttracted to him (which is a big relief!) he's ok looking ... but just not interested (not like he'd be interested in me if he turns out to be one of us)

ok - my work. it sucks. it sucks mostly because i have hitler jr as my boss. he's a dictator. and since he has managed to entice me to move a few thousand kilomtres away from home - i have nowhere to run. and he's aware of that. and he's using it to his advantage. actually it's not so bad la.. he's not evil or anything. but he's a bit of a dictator. it's either his way or the highway. i guess for now it's going to be his way. not quite ready for the highway just yet. it's left-hand drive here... it's tough.

i'm not a big fan of the food here... have never had a liking for indian food. or middle eastern food. that's why i've been eating almost everything with my thai chilli sauce since i'm here. my roasted chicken my take-away burgers, even my take-away briyanis. and there's less than half a bottle left. how will i eat once it's finished? now that's a worrying thought that might keep me awake at night.. ;P
