Today I cut my hand on some sort of object in the MRT subway although I didn't realize it until my hang was soaked in blood. I figured there is probably a fine for bleeding in public - maybe they would even think I cut it on the prickly shell of a durian, which is also illegal to transport on the MRT and carries a s$500 fine. With this in mind I headed for the nearest restroom to wash off my bludgeoned fingers. Luckily for me in spite of this inconvenience I caught my connecting bus to work because the driver was late. Unluckily for me she drove like a maniac and so just as I was approaching a new record score in pinball on my phone the turbulence of the bus ride ended my killer pinball effort.
Lunch was once again a score. I chowed down on food from a vegetarian stand - spring rolls, greens, and a mystery veggie. Add a coke to that and s$2.70 bought me a great lunch. Back in the office while working away as usual, I was also trying to handle my potential housing situation with a potential lady.
We had an agreement by which I would move in on the 2nd of June. I confirmed this in email a week before arriving stating "I wish to confirm the date of our agreement, that I will be arriving June 2nd," to which she said, "OK." So when I emailed here the day before to see what time I might drop by, she informed me the previous tenant was still there and didn't know how long he would be there. A day later I was told I would be able to move in the 5th. Yet, once again she changed that date to the 12th of June this time. So naturally I booked a room elsewhere until the 12th.
Here is where is gets good...yesterday, she informs me that the room is ready and that I should move in immediately. I promptly informed her that the terms of our agreement had changed and that I would now only be willing to pay a reduced rate and deposit to which she apparently had no choice but to agree to. Of course she wanted me to send the deposit over before actually seeing the place or signing a contract and set a date for doing so, 12 hours later without consulting my availability. Yeah. So I nixed that idea and am waiting for a response.
To sign or not to sign, that is the question.
