Ni hao!

OK....so we have planted our uprooted selves here. Don't know whether we will thrive or wilt. Has been almost 40 days here. The weather is not so bad as i was warned. Most of the days i can sleep even without turning the fan on, forget the ac. But then this is the weird person who can even sleep with a blanket in calcutta.

Work-wise, i am trying to find my feet. So much have changed abd they use a bloody ooo language now. I am completely lost. But i am happy to find that i still remember most of the important stuff. So i just might survive. I will give it a year at the least before i decide to run away again.

It has beena struggle trying to find a place to rent. Will write about it in detail some other day. Luckily we found ourselve a maisonnette,big by the standards here, even bigger than the new flat we have back home. It has a big balcony so i can die happy.

The only downside is it is about 30 minutes from the office. I have to take the MRT, which i admit is not that bad. I generally hate public transport (what a snob)but over here, it is not so painful.

I sweated buckets trying to mob the whole bloody apartment. I need an electric mop. That or a maid.

Hopefully, i should be able to blog more regularlt now that i finally shook that lethargy off.
