finally..

okay, my landlord bought a house and I helped them to move the stuff...including packing and unpacking...and i earned:

physically - a few bruises (arms, knees), muscle aches and one major bruise on the thigh due to a huge steel frame falling on me! darn...

financially - i had to pay 500pounds extra for the bills

mentally - the kid's annoying screams in my head all the time

I will be viewing a room today since I am particularly unhappy with the fact that they just say 'split the bills by half' and i have to pay half of it...I am not sure why the calculation turns out to be this way...they are a family of 3 and i am only an individual, why is it half? I guess biologist is not a good mathematician...

If they had mentioned that I have to pay half the bills earlier, i would have been happier... They told me not to worry about the bills until I had moved to the new house with them...and suddenly, I had to scoope out half of it...and three months costs 1000 over pounds for BILLS? I had never ever heard this much...unless you spent more than 16 hours at home!

Let's see...Monday to Friday :7am till 6pm for them and 7am till 10pm for me..
Sat and Sun: whole day and me (12 hours in the house since I went to my friend's place most of the time)

So, no matter what, the bills cant reach that much and I dont understand why I had to pay HALF..after my serious consideration, I am moving out into the city center where I dont have to look after kids, I can party, I can wake up late, I can stay up late, I have my own set of HOUSE KEY (thank god!) and most importantly I can online and blog....

Throughout these three months, I think I have had enough...of sickness from the kid:

1- sore throat 3 times ( each lasted 3 days or more)
2- fever (2 times - each for 3 days consecutive)
3- nose bleed (2 consecutive days)
4- puking (4 days)
5 - diarrhoea (4 days)
6- cough (2 times -one for 3 days and the other has been 4 days and still going)
7 - flu (for 2 weeks now)

Also, I had enough of cleaning, vaccuming, bleaching the floor, making entire week of lunch back for them (3 weeks I made for them), taking care of the kid.. Talking about taking care of the kid, I have a very good story : the parents are sick of the kid's screaming to seek attention so, they left him screaming like crazy and when they cant stand it anymore, they asked me to dress up the kid and take him out for a walk for at least an hour! (mind you, parents are 'programmed to love you no matter how ugly,bad, disgusting you are! and here, the parents cant stand him!)

So, I took him out for a walk and he was alright. when he reach home (after an hour of walk), he sat in the living room while the parents are watching movie. Since the kid is an attention seeker, he started screaming again, so the parents asked me to take him out to the garden while they watched movie. Imagine that!

I think my presence/help had been taken for granted and my wallet has been bleeding since I bought a lot of groceries for them as I thought I do not need to pay for the rent (it is a polite thing to do as I am not paying the rent, I pay for groceries..Now, I ended up having to pay for groceries AND the BILLs)..

So, the moral of the story is:

1- biologists arent good mathematicians (or caucasians' mathematics is not as good as chinese-money wise)

2- Dont you ever DARE to think that there are nice people left in this world who would be kind towards you and do not expect any return/favour from you

3- Dont accommodate/tolerate other people so much that you lost your senses

4- Dont stay with someone with a kid when you are trying to enjoy life-because you will definitelt feel 10 years older when you are living NEAR a kid

So, I am going to enjoy my life in the city center and party like any normal student should! GO GO GO!
