Life until I met him,  was so stagnant.. So routine it was, Was without any purpose. Or, I felt it so! “Survive” was the mantra of my life. Work, home, work, home Was the usual routine. Was tired of the world and everything, It was a time when, young people, as young as I was; at that time Were all excited to live their lives. But for me it was a dull mechanical life. Tried to make friends, made successfully some, At the place I was working for a living. I wanted to find a love of my life all by myself, and many boys I came across, All disappointed me!

02-Jan-2012 Dordrecht, I got mobile broadband connection, jupii and its working nicely at the moment :-) I chose a 1934 home which was nicely reconstructed from the 3 options I was given by the client (I am becoming very adventurous).  Its quite nice house- 2 bed room (I dont know why I need 2 bedroom). Good re-construction. I feel like living in a old village home though. Wood floor and wood stairs and so on :-) Tried the washing machine for the first time and washed couple of old towels I found in this house as a trial.. 03-Jan-2012 Today morning was a stormy one, both weather-wise and otherwise :-( I had to catch a bus, so I took the directions (paper print out from internet). It was raining heavily and  I was carrying an umbrella, and my purse and my laptop.
