New place finally?
Yay! I went to see the new place today. They opened up 4 units for viewing, units 5, 12, 22 and 38. Unit 5 was kinda wierd. It had a pillar right in the middle of the place. Definitely out. Unit 12 was better, but no view. It faced a wall and i think it also overlook the offices downstairs. Hmm… nope. It was between units 22 and 38 then. Unit 22 looked quite good, with the agent promising that it will be cleaned prior to moving in (the place wasn’t extremely dirty, just the usual dirt that was under the fridge). It didn’t have much of a view, but it was better than unit 12. Unit 38 was nice. That was the original unit that I wanted to have a look at previously. It’s on the highest floor, with quite a nice view. All that apartment needed was blinds though. It was hot under the afternoon sun even though during winter. Well, I could always put extra ‘curtains’ over it (aka clothes). The morning sun would work very well in getting me up too since it would kick me outta bed :D The unit isn’t very big, but it can be considered quite comfy for one person to live in. 2 would be OK, but you’d have to be very good friends/family/girlfriend (hint) to stay together. Hehehe… The place looks bright and cheery, although moving in to the highest floor WOULD be a pain in the ass.
Funny thing was, when I went there with Mei Yen at 12.30pm, there were like… 5 to 6 people waiting for the agent. Including me, there would not be enough rooms to let if all of us applied at once. Some of us would definitely be knocked out. I decided that it will NEVER be me. Gawd… I prepped for this for soooo long. NO WAY I would lose out to other ppl for any of those units. Well, unless the person has been also trying their luck like me, pestering the agent every few days to check if the key is in, and preparing the necessary documents before hand. Muahahahaha… Bet no one did. After having a look at those 4 units, I decided to take unit 38 (Not only that, I had already prepared the form beforehand *LoL*). My girlfriend and I stood around, waiting for the rest to slowly ask their questions and file out of the apartment before making my move. o___O (Hmm… the wording makes it sound suspicious. Ah well…) After the last person left, I asked the agent if I could hand in my application. I sorta knew his name, since I was told before that he was handling those units. Craig. Well, he was kinda surprised I had everything ready. He actually told me to hand it into the office in Toorak, but after hearing that I had everything prepared, he took it immediately. Well, after checking through first. I was worried at first, thinking I should just apply for all 4 units to increase my chances on getting an apartment (Actually, only 3… I would not take unit 5 even if I had to). I asked him if I should, but he said I SHOULD get the unit since the application was handed in that quickly, and I could start the tenancy immediately. He also told me that everything seems to be in order and I should expect to hear from him this afternoon. Whoopie! We left him as he needed to take measurements for the blinds for my new place. XD
Had lunch with Mei Yen, then zipped back home to grab my lappie and headed back to the library. Robert and Khor were kinda surprised to see me back so early since I told them I would be heading to Toorak to hand in my application. They both were happy that it was kinda settled. Time ticked by. 5pm rolled in and still no call. I got very very very worried. Naturally, I gave a call to the office and I was told that he was on the phone and he would return my call. 15 minutes later, he called. We arranged a time to sign the contract, and he told me the details of the money order/bank cheque that I had to prepare. We fixed 10.30am tomorrow for the signing of the contract. *SIGH OF RELIEF* After that I trotted back to my desk to continue studying. Gyahahahaha… Damn happy. Well, I would be even happier tomorrow after I get the contract signed and get the ‘finding a new place’ problem outta my hair.
Dinner came. Subway again. :D Khor promised he’ll help me move to my new place. I should pull Robert too. We sorta decided on Friday (or maybe Saturday) night after 9pm, after the library closes. Yes, I’m nerdy… but then again, nerds are the ones who graduate with good results ;) Hehehe… Till next time… (Don’t know if I’m tired enough to sleep)
