New Place

It's been almost a week since I am here, the official move-in date was the eve of 911. So excited on the night itself and on 911 that I totally forgot it was 911 until the day when colleague was telling me about it when he drove me home.

Was able to see the lights up from my window to Manhattan... Absolutely fantastic. Couldn't imagine how strong they need the lights to be in order to shine all the way into the clouds, and it reminded me of Batman, just this one don't have the Batman sign...

So, almost a week and this house is stil not very fix. The toilet counter needs to be changed, and toilet probably renovated and very much needs a good wash. The window fell off the latch during the weekend one-by-one, not only I cannot close the window now, I have to worry if children below will be running at the spot should the window fall due to strong wind...

Weekends had been surprsingly busy, not fixing the house but shopping, hanging out at colleague's place for bbq and parties. In the end, didn't really leave time for myself to fix my own things...

And then, now this place has no network, no TV, no radio. The only thing that really kept me alive is my iPod and the speaker, thank goodness.

Today is Day 3 of using internet here in new place, grateful to the good neighbour who don't secure his/her wireless network. First day I was a bit paranoid and really just use it to check email and that's it. Day 2, after half hour of usage, totally forgot about it and was using skype to chit-chat with friend, opening a thousand IEs as usual... Sigh... Really cannot change myself to become a better person in this aspect.

Hopefully things will get better, the top of my wish list is to get the bar stools from Ikea up and working because I have no where to sit except for the carpet floor and the airbed. Hopefully I can post a photo of the empty apartment which I call home. :)
