jason is now a singapore PR

quite sometime that i updated my weird FT IT tenant who has been staying with me for almost 5 years.....

it was saturday. as usual, checked the letterboxes for my 2 units pigeonhole flats. as usual, bills abundant and another letter for jason, my tenant who should be 26 by now.

i stuck his mail onto his door held by the door knob. he was still asleep. he should be after frequent late TGIF (thank god it's friday) nights. click! the door opened. the letter landed on his feet which he sheepishly picked it up, tore it open and read the content.

"yeh...yeh...yahoo!!!..." jason suddenly went berserk and delirious. he was yelling and jumping up and down. my goodness! it was the first that i witnessed the missing child-liked in him. he was always brooding and acting cool beyond the maturity of his age.

"What's wrong?" i asked.

he was smiling and still jumping up and down with glee. "I got singapore PR!...i got singapore pr!!" he yelped

so?....what's so great about getting singapore PR?? many are leaving and giving up their singapore citizenship. strange!

well, i didn't say that to him but i was happy for him too seeing him glowing with so much delights. he had been very depressed the past few weeks and was really stressed by his works and personal matters.

a silver lining of the cloud, maybe.

i could tease him a little. "wow! so happy!" i exclaimed. "ya!! i can buy hdb flats now....really fantastic!!" he cheerfully replied.

ya right! hdb pigeonhole...u gotta be kidding!! yep! he's really oblivious that i didn't raise his rental after 5 yrs when the hdb room rates are now escalating like nobody's business. his room could easily fetch at least $500. but he is still having it at $300 per month. he should be happier having a landlord like me instead so free 3-in-1 coffee, instant noodles, fruits, milk, sugar-free fruit juices and etc..and yes all on the house....and lots of TLC, tender loving care...hahaha...;9)
