A Transgender Story Chapter 28

By Ms Chor Lor | December 2, 2009 | 1,029 views

I had thought that I may felt slight pain on the plane due to the air pressure, but actually did not. Anyway yet another scary trip home for me. I’m still scared on a plane. Anything happen, there’s just no where to run at all…………………

One of my close gay friend and his BF actually came to the airport to fetch me. But no longer good friend with this gay friend due to some things that happen few years back.

Anyway, I think we had a coffee at the airport and chatted about my experience there. Then I think I took a cab myself back home.

It was around late noon when I reach home. Only mum was at home. We didn’t talk much. The feeling was like strangers. She never asked me anything about the operation or how is it now. She just carry on with her things and I unpack my stuffs.

Then I felt tired and wanted to lie down to rest. As you know, I lay a mattress on the floor and sleep. So it was actually painful for me. After the operation, I could not really sleep sideway at all, as it will exert force on the boobs and cause pain. So I can only sleep facing upwards. But it was the feeling of sleeping on the floor that cause further pain.

Then I was thinking, this will still take at least two weeks more before it will heal. I can’t possibly go through this pain. Then I thought of my godson whom before the operation had agreed that they will have an empty room for me if I need to.

So I then told my mum that I will be moving out to stay with my friend for this period. And that it is partly because of the pain. She never stop me and never comment much too.

I packed up a few clothes and left home. And I never knew that this moving out, would be the start of my own independent life of one and a half years. I had just thought of staying out while recuperating first, then maybe move back home after my operation is heal.

This first stay was the best in my whole life! It is like heaven! Guess where I am staying at! International Plaza right above Tanjong Pagar MRT!

YES! You didn’t hear me wrong! That tall office building right above Tg Pagar MRT!

The lower floors are actually offices. Total floors of the building is 49. Can’t remember really, but I think don’t know 30 or 40 floor upwards are what you call service apartments.

On the 40th floor, there is a clinic and a swimming pool! But I never go swim at all through my stay there, what a waste right!

And guess which floor is our unit? The last floor! 49th floor! YES!

Ok, actually this house is rented by two angmohs from Australia. They are working in Spore. And they are capable ok! They are both just 20 years old! Working in an IT firm at Club street. Earning more than 5k a month! And this house don’t know was subsidize by the company or they pay half, can’t remember also.

One of them is my godson BF. My godson is jobless that time, also about 20 or 21, haven’t go army. So he stayed in with his BF. So he manage to talk them into giving me one room to stay. There’s actually 3 rooms there. One was empty, while the other two rooms had private toilet.

Master bedroom has full view window! Which you can view the fucking beautiful view of the whole city! Especially at night! Even on National day, you can see the fireworks!

The living room is quite big too, with full view window as well. But the kitchen is miserably small. Just a small little L shape, enough to stand maybe only 5 person.

And it is fucking windy on this high floor! 24 hours almost! Because it is tall and unblock, so the wind comes from the sea that is just nearby, PSA there. This place is just like heaven! I simply love it!

Then they actually go and unscrew one of the window grills, until you can actually climb out of the window, then you will be sitting on a concrete narrow pavement outside the window. But once not careful, you will just fall down! But it is not very narrow actually. It is about one and half meter wide, so you really can actually sit down there and still far away from falling down.

Then they have one cat in the house. This cat also really know how to enjoy, she will often climb out the window and sit on the what we call it ‘balcony’ also.

Sometimes, they will sit at the balcony and drink wine. They are even so daring, they go and sit on the edge, with their legs hanging down! I don’t even dare to take a peek at the edge down. So scary lor! And when I am out there, I don’t even dare to stand upright and walk. I will crawl on the floor slowly cause I scare I fall down. But they are brave, they just stand and walk one.

But it really felt nice and relaxing, especially when you are sad, sitting out there, drinking and smoking, with the windy wind, some soft music, it really is 49th storey above the ground and almost to heaven!

At first, I had planned that I will pay them a little bit for renting the room. But afterwards they are generous enough not to accept any rent for me, on the ocndition that I am willing to help them do all the houseworks! WOW! I’m just like a free stay in maid haha! But a happy maid !

Stay tune for next chapter to find out my life here at International Plaza!
