Meagre Space

THE DAY I MET MY BOSS AT THE AGENCY IN NAN FUNG CENTER, SHE ASK ME IF I AM WILLING TO COME AND TAKE A LOOK FOR HER PLACE BEFORE SIGNING THE CONTRACT. WE RIDE THE TAXI GOING TO HER PLACE, HER CHEERFUL MOTHER GREETED ME WHEN SHE OPEN THE DOOR. THEY SHOW ME HER FAMILY MEMBERS AND WE WENT TO THE KITCHEN SHE SHOW ME THE THINGS SHE’S USING IN THERE.

AFTER THAT SHE SHOW ME THE TINY ROOM WHICH SHE SAID GONNA BE MY ROOM. IT WAS A VERY TINY ROOM JUST RIGHT FOR MY SIZE 5*5 FEET I THINK. I’M 5 FEET TALL JUST RIGHT FOR ME!

AFTER THAT SIMPLE TALK WE’RE BACK TO THE AGENCY TO CONTRACT SIGNING. MONTHS PASS THEN I GOT MY VISA SO DID THE TIME TO START WORKING. THIS TINY ROOM BECOME MY SANCTUARY AFTER THE TIRING 15 TO 16 HOURS OF WORK. AFTER MY EVENING BATH I GET BACK TO MY ROOM SET UP MY FOLDING BED AND SNUGGLE TO SLEEP.

THIS ROOM IS THE WITNESS OF MY SORROW AND HAPPY DAYS. ON MY STRESSFUL DAYS I JUST SAT DOWN ON MY BED AND WRITE, READ BOOKS OR PLAY WITH MY PHONE. HERE I FEEL SECURE NO ONE BUGS ME ON THE TIME I TAKE REST AND CALL IT A DAY .

ALTHOUGH THIS ROOM LACKING SOMETHING, I HAVEN’T GOT ANY SPACE TO PUT MY THINGS ON. I GOT ONLY MY BED AND THREE STORAGE BOXES IN HERE. I MEAN ON THE TOP OF IT. THERE’S ACTUALLY SOME ROOM UNDER MY BED BUT THEN IT’S NOT EASY FOR ME TO ACCESS.

I DO LIKE TO HAVE NEW COMFY BED. AND SOME WOODEN SHELVES TO PUT MY BOOKS AND OTHER STUFF. A CABINET AND DRAWERS FOR MY CLOTHES. I DO LIKE TIDY PLACE. SEEMS IF I GONNA CHANGE MY ROOM OR RENOVATE IT WILL BE COSTLY. OH ADDED A NEW CURTAIN, THE ONE I’M HAVING IS OLD AND BIT SMALL SO ON SUMMER DAYS I’M NOT WORRYING ABOUT THE LIGHTS THAT’S ENTER THE ROOM. MY ROOM IS LIKE AN OVEN TOASTER ON SUMMER DAYS THO. NOT TO FORGET ABOUT THE WALL PAPER I LIKE IT PINK, SOMETHING GIRLY. PLANNING FOR THIS KIND OF SET UP MINUS THE PLANT. I DON’T REALLY LIKE PLANT IN MY ROOM IT ATTRACTS THOSE TINY BLACK BUGS. OH WELL I JUST LOVE COMFY AND LOVELY ROOM. BUT FOR NOW IT JUST A DREAM, IN REALITY I’M JUST IN HERE TO WORK AFTER THAT I’M BACK TO MY HOMELAND AND THERE I GONNA ACHIEVE THIS MEAGRE SPACE FOR MYSELF.
