myo's away on reservist at the northwest side of singapore. fortunately i am bonding very well with his niece here in the east and is not too affected by his absence. which seems to bother an already agitated myo.i don't know whether it's because of that that he's not planning to take me to his temporary shift to the northeast side of the island immediately after his camouflage stint. his excuse is that i will get irritable if i'm forced to adjust at the interim place. he has promised that i will eventually join him at his own new pad in north in january. (you following?)
which is silly of myo actually. one, i value my independence too much to care about missing him. two, myo's almost building home west side these days that it seems rather lavish to be paying rent instead at the temporary northeast apartment. (confused yet?)
myo's decision, though extravagant, is rationalized by a recent quibble with the sib. which explains why he can't just wait for his flat to be ready. having been the first single person to move out of the family house in central singapore when he was 25 while the rest moved out because of marriage, myo's not one to be comfortable living with others' follies.
but maybe myo's learnt something from the
movie as to not give up his own apartment too soon despite playing house. oh well, i still hope i see him for the weekends. cos, if i don't, i'll just end up in a hole.... meoooowwwww......

good lesson from the movie haha.
Dear Myo,
Thanks very much for your interesting blog. It's always nice to see how people on the other side of the globe live, how they share the same joys and sorrows, what they do in their free time, etc.
I actually have a question about your blog. Would you mind helping us with a linguistic research project? We're compiling data from various Singaporean weblogs. All it requires is checking a few boxes. If you want to take part and/or have more questions, drop me a note ( hack2301@uni-trier.de RE: Question ) so that I can then send you the 'official' project eMail. We'd really appreciate your help.
Thanks very much in advance!
Best regards,
- Fran
