my new housemate

i've got a new permanent housemate. she's actually nice. she's from mainland china, but she works in our hk office. she's almost the same age as my mother and she's very domesticated. she likes curtains, cleaning, cooking -- plus all other stuff that, let's say, are not my strongest points.

the real story is that i was asking for my boss' permission to give me my full salary and then i'd live on a cheaper flat. they thought it's not going to be a good move because they wouldn't have control over me. i said it's more of the money i save. i don't need a two bedroom apartment when i just cuddle up in my room most of the time. they gave me a couple of grand increase just so i can stay in my flat. i said yes immediately.

i didn't think there was a catch. they reasoned out that i looked very lonely so they are going to make one of my colleagues to become my housemate. darn. i loved the independence and the disorganization of my place. now somebody's asking me to clean my living room, or wash the dishes. arrggghhhh..

im really getting fed up.
