Before I came back to Australia, I was a bit sianz.
Before I came back to Australia, I was a bit sianz because I know when I reach here, I had quite a number of things in hand to settle. Those things are sianz till I dont even feel like typing out what there are cause they really make me sianz.
Surprisingly, I actually managed to complete all these gan-si-lang-sianz things by the 2nd day.
If you are smart enough, you will know I meant today.
One of this gan-si-lang-sianz thing was to look for a new house. Surprisingly I actually found one so fast. Lao Jiao 就是 Lao Jiao (Old Bird - Experienced).
Last semester when I first came here, I spend a total of 7 days before I finally found my ideal place. And some thing to note. The renting market then was that there were more houses or rooms than potential renters.
And this time round, I spend only 2 days looking for the ideal place. And something to note. The market now is hot till for every rooms or houses that are renting out, at least 6 people are interested in renting it.
I was petrified. I was nervous. I was worried.
But I didnt ka-lang-ka-bo (Make a mess out of things).
In this kind of winner takes all situation, its when being a True Singaporean At Heart will emerge as winners.
The advertisement said to call after 5pm. I called at 330pm.
The owner said to come and view the house at 7pm. I arrived at 6pm.
The owner said to wait for his call to see whether I will get the room next day at 9am. I called him at 830am.
The owner said Maybe I will get the house. I threaten him and said I got another offer in another place. If he doesnt want to rent it out to me, I will get the other place.
I lied.
He believed.
Now I am at my new home =)
Thats how Singaporeans always con Vietnamese.
