Nairobi in August

Sorry, in case you were wondering, yes, Stacey has landed safely back in Nairobi for about 4 days now. My next flight to Singapore would be on 14th October. Then another one in December, stay in Nairobi for 4 months before making a final trip back for good in April 2012.

My roommate has left for good to Ghana and i'm dwelling on my own at the moment. Extremely lonely I must say, miss having someone to vent to and bitch about and have the same streak of "kuai lan-ness" as me. But on another note, I have the whole kitchen to myself so i can cook and clean the way i like for all i want, i also dont have to close the bathroom doors (which some of you know i hate doing...) and i can play my music as loudly as i want.

Just as i am starting to adjust to this individual freedom, my boss has just dropped me a note, sigh, aparently there are shifts in some resources, so another lady will be staying with me in September. Sigh. Jie Jie was telling me that because of her race, she will be cleaning and cooking in my house. Alamak. Jie Jie... (I'm sure you all can guess which country she is from).

Oh, freedom, just as i have grasped thee, as swiftly you came, you have slipped through my fingers once again.

First week of work was very tough i must say, alot of unreasonable demands and alot of changing of minds and inconsistent messages. Seriously makes me start venturing into my old archives on my comp and dig up places i can go do my masters in Psychology at. Dont know why but coming back this time seems more difficult to adjust to and already started counting down to my next trip back. Yup, it's 50 more days people.

Anyway, one thing i finally cleared off my to-do list when i was in Singapore was to save all the stuff Uncle Yiu Seng had managed to salvage for me on my old university comp and download them into my new comp. OMG. You cannot believe the amount of old pictures i have, like "did she really have that kind of hairstyle?!"

Be prepared for my next few posts everyone, i've got a couple of surprises up my sleeve. :)
