Somehow...i miss staying in the East. I practically grew up in the east and i'm still not used to life in the North. Even though staying in the north now makes travelling to town much faster and it's much more convenient for me to go to work, i still prefer life before i shifted house. My favourite house is my Simei house (which happens to be my mum's and my sis's favourite house too). It was spacious, big and nicely renovated. I had a balcony whereby my bird, hamsters and my tortoise stayed there. Then there was a storeroom, all the useless things that we don't use we would chuck it in. We used to hold birthday parties at home and decorate it with colourful balloons. During christmas season, we'd have a christmas tree and presents underneath it.
Then my family shifted to Bedok when i was 10 years old. It was not that convenient as compared to my Simei house because my house in simei is just a 3 mins walk from the mrt station. Well, i didn't complain. As much as i love my previous house, i don't really have a say...right? Everything is good, i was enrolled to HSC and i have straight bus to school (though i ended up taking train most of the time). I got together with my current boyfriend when i was 16 years old and what makes it even better is that we stayed near each other. It was about a 15mins walk/ 2 bus stops away. We went to school together, and went home together as well :) Meeting each other was easy cos it was just 15mins away. We would go jogging every thursday because i want to lose weight.
My dad, being the typical him, wanted to shift house again.
Like why?! Sigh. This time, to the North. I shifted to the north when i was 18 years old (yes, that's last year). Mind you, i'm studying in TP. Travelling to school now takes 1hour 15mins instead of just 15-30mins. Cabbing to school costs me $15 instead of $6. I can't meet the boy as frequently as i used to and i feel bad when he send me home because it's so far for him. To be fair, there are some pros of staying here but i just don't like it.
I used to have really nice neighbours in the east (simei especially!) but i don't really interact with my neighbours here. Partially cos the house next to mine is Filipinos, and the other side is china -_-
Sometimes i secretly hope i can rewind time, then i can knock some sense into my dad. And when my dad says, "I've decided that we should move to the North." And i will be like, "FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" HELL NO, BITCH! NO! *points middle finger*
