the day began at 10am(aust time) for me. wanted to sleep longer as i watched world cup ytd. though it was just the 1st half, by the time i finished watchin it was already 545am. wanted to watch the whole match but time doesnt allow me to. i knew i would be dead tired if i did so.
by the time i finished brushing my teeth, wash face, shaved it was 1030am. i was trembling. water here is so cold.
to make it worse, the water in the basin doesnt have hot water. what the fuck~
took a bus to Indooroopilly Shopping Centre to search for agencies. bad thing. they didnt have houses that suit my criteria. therefore, i decided to walk all the way back to campus in midst of hoping to see some houses put up for rental on the way back.
all the walking make my balls really hurt. walking in brisbane isnt very easy. if it was flat road then its still fine. but the extreme up slopes and down slopes made me really wana cry. i walk for 2 hours before reaching this place which happen to be up for rental.
therefore, i called up the angency and wa-la~!
they asked me to head down to toowong village which happened to be 10 min bus ride away to take the keys n inspect the house myself. and knowing that i saw this property online before but it did say that its onli avaible on 7th july onwards, i asked the operator that is she sure i can collect and view it today
she gave me a hardcore Yes.
so i took a bus there.
not easy ya knw. didnt know what fucking bus to take at all. want to ask people also difficult. couldnt see a fucking living thing around at all except for a mouse that ran across the street.
anyway heng before i came to australia i got pray to my ah gong ah ma. As the Saying goes, "Wu bai wu po pi, bo bai chut dai ji", i managed to grab a bus down to toowong village.
i asked for road directions to the agency again. oh ya by the way, i realised that i am beginning to have aussie accent when i talk now. jialat.
i wan my lah, ooi, wa, siah lah back... sob sob~
anyway i entered the agency and eyes immediately open big big. the counter gal not bad.
but then kan ni na~ she told me she made a mistake. the keys still with the tenants and can onli take on 7th july, i feel like slapping her..
waste my time, bus fare.
but fuck it,
since the office was about to close and taking a bus there was too messy, i took a cab down. i heard people say that cabs in aust are expensive, but i wana know how expensive.
so i backside itchy go hail a cab.
to get a better view of the taxi meter, i sat in the front seat. ok starting not so bad. start of from 2.70AUD. still ok..
then i raise my head to observe the surroundings for a while onli then when i turned to look at the meter again, MY BALLS DROPPED~!
what the fuck~!
3.40AUD liao. i jus raise my head for 20 sec loh.
this time, i stared hard at the fucking meter. it jumped by 20 cents per unit. and tink jumped every like 7 sec. SO EXP~!!!!~
when i got down, it was 6 bucks~!!!
fuck~!!!!
this teached a lesson, Dont be backside itchy nx time.
anyway the house was creepy. got basement somemore. and whole place was empty. didnt stay there too long.
after that, i didnt take a taxi to return the keys anymore. i walk for 200m n took a bus down to return the keys.
alighted and on the way to the agency, saw Subway. 3.95AUD!
cheapest sandwich i see so far. guess i will pamper myself for dinner. cause never had anything for the whole day except a 2AUD chocolate milk which i bought while house hunting.
i bought the sandwich, returned the keys and took a bus back.
no walking, my legs are begging.
and then, now here i am blogging away at 430pm aussie time. legs feeling better now.
walking in aust is really tired though i was once-upon-a-time a 2 time IPPT Gold.
tmr i got one house inspection appointment. hopefully i can like the place and buy it. hope it looks nice. i onli booked my temporary hostel till 7th morning. if by then i cant find a permanent place to sleep, gotta extend for 45 bucks per nite.
not worth it. ah gong ah ma bo pi tmr your grandson succeed~
House Hunting Part II to be continued.....
and ya, i finally solved the mystery of the how to alight bus. some of the buses here do have bells. those that doesnt, it has a black "line" that runs on top of the ceiling like old tibs bus. need press that hahaa. finally mystery solved~~~
