Callie’s Scattered Parts

Some of you may know by now that I will be moving house. Actually I HAVE TO move out of my present rented place and move in to Geylang by Nov 20th. I am so looking forward to living in an almost hostel-like lifestyle… Yah right! The only good part is there won’t be any pesky and bitchy roommates to fight with you over toilet usage and mysterious disappearing of shampoo and shower gel. Still, there will be inconveniences and a huge change in the way I live. Well… change is good …. Dah! I’m never effective at self-therapy so let me whine!!!!! I hate this! I really hate this! and I’m ohhhhh sooooo brokkkkkkke that a robber will shower me with pity and give me all his possessions instead.

None of my friends are robbers so I am pretty confident that they can do better. So I have compiled a Wish List of all which are either necessities and nitty gritties that I NEED to ensure my house-moving ordeal can be a little more comforting.

There are items to suit all kinds of budget and like I have said : All Help Appreciated regardless of the amount involved afterall its the thought behind the material that counts …

For the Stable-Income earners not suffering from any bad debts and For those who gets routine spa treatments. I need :

1)  A New Fridge - those with at least 2 doors and has a separate freezer compartment. No bar fridge please. I need something you will use for your own home.

2)  Microwave oven - My present one (lousy brand kind) gives out a foul chemical smell everytime I heat up something so I guess a good brand will be useful looking at the long term.

3)  DVD player - Now this sounds like a luxury item but seriously, who can live without a DVD player in such modern times? Get Akira or any budget brand becos they play the pirated (oops!) formats better.

4)  Pots and Pans - I do like to cook or I won’t be asking for a fridge in the first place. Hence, yes, pots and pans are essential. My present ones need mending and unless you can find me a pot-mender, I will need NEW pots and pans. Please choose those that are "non-stick" or "stainless steel".

5) Bed Sheets - I have dogs and that means if I am going to reuse my present ones, I will be charged with littering my new place with tons of dog fur and stale smell of dog saliva. Not that the old ones cannot be washed… actually they really cannot be washed because the problem remains. OK, let me cut the crap…. get the US King size ones. Plain colours. No ah-ma flower patterns please.

6) Quilt - Freezing aircon means nice comfy quilt to get a restful night. King size.

For those who are comfortable financially enough to buy the occasional 4D and Toto, please get me

1)  Laundry Bag - For storing my dirty clothes. Duh!

2)  Laundry Nets - The old ones  were chewed beyond recognition ( no, not me) so I need new ones. Its for putting in my delicate clothings before dumping them in the washing machine.

3)  Dog Food -  No preference on wet or dry or brands. As you guys know, my dogs are pigs reincarnated and they are just equally healthy eating ANYTHING.

4)  Pillowcases - Need no explanation right? I have 6 pillows. Just plain colours will do.

5)  Thirsty Hippos - to suck up the dampness and smell of the very dark room underneath the staircase where its the only place I can store my clothes. Need many many hungry, no I mean thirsty hippos.

6)  Set of glasses and plates - NO plastics and must be microwaveable.

7)  Portable TV Antenna - New place’s reception sucks to the point where I can only watch moving mozaics… :(   Can’t live without TV… who can?

8)  Standing Clothes Dryer - I don’t refer to the automated machine that blows out hot air… I need the ones where you set the two ends apart with strings or poles connecting the two ends for hanging clothes.

9)  Large Bath Towels - Mine are old, thinned and a little greyish. I will appreciate new ones and NOT used ones. Thank you.

10)  Night Slip-ins - Comfy Fluffy Night slippers. My size is medium or size 7….

For the rest of you, those almost as poor as me or those who find they need a more creative way of rendering me help. May I suggest this :

CASH DONATIONS

Any amount starting from $1.
All cash collected will go into helping me pay the necessary transportation charges (I have to move some items to my mum’s place, some to the new place and some to the other places), building a new cabinet at the new place just for the stove (again, so that I can cook), for settling the PUB bill in the old place, for groceries, paying the Ah-nehs to reinstate the old house … and other daily neccessities.

Please contact me personally via friendster’s message, mobile sms, email or call me directly if you would (oh I’m so sure all of you will… my dearest dearest friends) like to help  with any of the abovementioned. Thank you so very much - from the bottom of my bottomest heart!

To the rare, almost extinct specie of human - what I’ll like to call Unconditional Kind Souls - the ones who would like to donate anonymously to me. You may do so to my POSB Savings Acct Number 171368448. I won’t know who you are but what you have done for me will truly help me and save me. Thank you. Thank you!

P.S : Take away my brave front from writing the above, my shoulders droop knowing that in reality many of you will ignore me or pretend you have ever known me from now onwards ….
