"Pooot" one out!

H just came home from drinks with the guys at one of his colleagues house. He was raving about how NICE that guy's house is.....BIG modern contemporary blah blah blah. And our house is soooo old-fashioned blah blah blah. The rent? More than our allowance, of course! The thing with H's company is that the housing allowance is based on the number of children the employee has. Not on rank. So, if you are a single...even if you are at the top of the corporate ladder, the housing allowance will still be quite a pittance.

Anyway, H has alot of subordinates that live in BIGGER and NICER house than us. They can afford to pay higher rents...as their housing allowance is higher....as they have MORE children. Told H that the only way that we can UP our housing allowance is if we "Pooooot" one more kid out! hahahahahaa....But even then also we will have to wait NINE months before we can UPGRADE!! hahahahah....

No lah.. I don't wanna move. Am quite happy where we are. Besides, I don't think my current furniture can ever fit into the interior of an ultra-modern contemporary house. (Actually, our tenancy agreement is coming to an end this August.....so technically, we can search for a new house... there are quite many nice nice houses that are within our budget. But the thought of packing and moving really puts me off. Plus boys are also rather happy here.... Well, unless our landlord refuses to renew our lease...we'll be staying put!)
