yuletide greetings
christmas is just two days away and there are still no presents under the REAL (but tiny) fir tree dan and i bought from the canadian vendor on houston. and to think my housemate, yes the one that screwed me over, actually has gifts and she will get to keep my tree once i'm out of here. my xmas present to her i guess.
i have momentary evil thoughts to punish her for causing me such anxiety--wipe out her house of all her valuables and hold her ransom for it (until i look around and remember, wait, there are NONE!); perhaps leave a horrible mess for her to clean up; or i think the best one yet is to call boston steinway to get her baby grand removed/sold back and take the money. HAHAHAHA (evil laughter). but then it's also the season of love and giving, and forgiving... aye, the moral dilemmas that plague me!
hang and i are trying to get a 2br apt in the same estate (lavender!! bishan!! *wink*) as peiru, but it's almost impossible because they want us to find a guarantor with an income of at least 80 times the monthly rent. plus tax returns plus notarized guarantee forms plus employment letter plus a whole bunch of other bullshit like 8 years of good credit. while i try to find a saviour (and no, singaporean parents don't qualify), peiru has offered refuge and that's where i'll be moving my butt in a couple of days.
and from all this desperation i've learned the reason why new york landlords are so picky is that state law doesn't allow them to just kick irresponsible tenants out. they can only sue them in court which itself is an 18 month process. so THAT'S why laura the flaky lady still has a roof over her head.
my family was supposed to get in from montreal hours ago, but they're still not back. must've been stuck in the rain/snow. i'm so hungry waiting i've been stuffing my face with ikan bilis and seaweed.
