Addicted to Farm Town in Facebook

Now is 2.11am.. I am still waiting for my grapes to mature so that I can harvest them and plow the land, grow crops like strawberries and potatoes as these will take a day to mature then grapes only takes 4 hrs! Though grapes can harvest faster and earn more quick money but it will wither very fast if not harvested just after matured. Sigh.. Now is just 88%, when can you become 100% for me to harvest?!!

Its been more than 7 months then I'm thinking to start updating my blog because wanted to listen to some music waiting surfing the net and my blog have those songs that I like.. Wat an excuse for laziness..

Have been out of job since I left my last job with the insurance broking company at the end of March and left to UK for my working holiday visa. Inital plan wanted to stay there and look for a job for new exposure to a new environment and setting but just after 2 days there and seeing the situation there, my mind has changed and wanted to come back to Singapore.

I do not know just 2 days being there without exploring more places other than Bayswater and East London and asking about the salary range to work as a temp or contract job will turn me off and being a so call 'loser' to quit and go back to my 'comfort zone' (back to home with my mum and the house that I don't have to worry about the rental and expenses). After calculating the expenses (transport, food, accommodation) that will incurred every month staying there with the exchange rate appear in my head. Is just too overwhelming for me even I try hard to save money.. Is just not worth wasting money and not getting the jobs that I wanted to try out there.. NSQ.. What's with the NSQ! Singapore do not have this certificate for care workers and so I am outcast from applying jobs in social service in UK other than live in carer..

Though I cannot say that UK is not a good place but I am not use to see prepared food everywhere in the supermarket more than fresh food.. I've tried to cook with the fresh ingredients there but it's just lack of variety to daily meals which I always like to enjoy.. Food plays an important elements in my life and seeing sandwich, sandwich and sandwich makes me feel miserable.. I am too used to rice as a stable food.. Though I managed to find nice oriental food in Leicester Square Chinatown. 3.80 pounds seems to be very cheap in UK but after the conversion rate, is still too steep for me..

Is it wrong and too early to leave UK just like tat after a few months of planning and preparation of the WHM Visa which alot of people couldn't get it, somemore I am the last few batch to get the approval from UK border agency? I've spent on off a month in UK staying at hostels of 2 different areas of london (Royal Oak and Kilburn). Went to Rome for 3days2nights and 7days road trip to 5 Europe Countries (France-Paris, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium-Brussels and Holland-Amsterdam. My butt went numb after bumping around in the coach bus for more than 10 hours a day..

It's an eye opener to be able to travel around so freely across Europe without stopping for passport checking and getting it stamped (wasted, no chop in the passport of those countries!) The weather of those countries are much better than back in UK which the chills gives me rashes on the skin and itch. Get to see strikes in Rome and Westminster in UK for the first time in my life. Was quite peaceful without stones and fire.. (luckily)

Back to Singapore, I don't have the intention to work so soon and started to think and do what I've always wanted to do. To set up an online business since I have the starter kit (things that I've bought during the trip). I share my thoughts with my boyfriend about this and he is very supportive about setting up the website and help me along the way..

My mum do support about the idea but she still thinks is very risky without a stable job with a fixed income so no choice.. Just have to please her, I have applied for a job with the ministry that I am experienced and knows the system very well.. Next monday is the job interview, hope I will get the job and get to contribute to the society in a way more satisfying than plain paperwork..

After coming to a month's of hardwork, my website is about to complete and left with upload the items and coming up with the terms and conditions and etc.. Is just a nice feeling to see the website finally going to work and knowing that it will be a great step for me and my boyfriend in our future.

I want to let you know.. I am really very glad and fortunate to have you by my side all these time and I do really appreciate it.. My dear Abe aka polar bear.. I will treasure the moments.

Is time for me to continue to harvest the grapes and go to bed.. goodnight.
