Just remembered this conversation I had with my grandma (aka Grandma101 cos she’s 101 this year! and my friends call her that..and i think it’s cool lol) . I love her to bits and I miss her so much!
————————
Grandma101: How old are you this year? 28?
Me: I’m going to be 30!
Grandma101: Aiyoh, you better get married soon! Your bones are getting hard!
Me: HAHAHAHA
Grandma101: I’m going to give you $200 to buy a gold bangle. I’ve kept that money for you for a long time! $200 for you and $50 for your husband.
———————————
Husband wasn’t too impress with the $50. He thinks he should have more hehehe.
I remembered once we bought Grandma101 to the Jewellery shop. She was about 99 then and she was going to get some gold chain for someone in the family (can’t remember who). I remembered her bargaining with the boss and we all (6 of us) were amused by her bargaining skills. She was so persistant! The boss was amused too… and gave her a good discount. 🙂 Hurrah!

UK bound
Hi densha girl,
I have been following your journey in the UK on and off and have been impressed by how you have come through it all to have an envious lifestyle away from Singapore.
I will be relocating to UK to work soon but would like to find out about the job situation in UK e.g. their receptiveness to employing Singaporeans (I am asking on behalf of my fren who might just quit it all in Singapore and move to UK).
Could I get to know more about the job market about UK (in particular London) from you? Thanks so much in advance.
