Day 5 (14/8) : Moving into my apartment

Today have been really busy man. When i went to my apartment to check-in, i did not expect that there would be so much things for me to do! I was like really lost and i didnt know where to go about buying all my stuffs. All i knew that i was screwed. I was thinking to myself: "Damn, its like i just bought a new apartment and i have to get all the household equipments and necessitie that are needed to maintain an apartment." But how the hell am i suppose to bring it from the village to my apartment! I didnt hav a car. So... guess what... I went 2 trips and i handcarried all those stuff that i bought. The picture directly below shows the stuff i bought when i have not took them out of the plastic bag. The first trip i carried the laundry pail all the way from the village to my apartment. And trust me, i know i looked damn retarded. Those plastic bags around the table were from the second trip where i bought myself the pink bicycle so i can get around easier. The 2nd hand bike cost me USD$85 and the bike lock costed USD$10.

Want to take a closer look at what the future perfect wife bought? Ta Da....~!!!


People. Imagine carrying all these stuff by hand and walk bout 12 mins, under the scorching sun. And these things arent light lor~! Especially those floor and table cleaner, cups, bowls... I nearly died man. But still, the strong me never says die~!! Nevertheless, what traumatised me the most was that i couldnt find bed sheets or pillows in the village and my apartment doesnt provide me with these things. So, i asked the customer service ppl from my apartment where i can get sheets and pillows. Then they told me i needed to have a vehicle to get to that department store. *pengz + panic*

"LIKE THAT DIE LOR", i thought to myself. Tonight dun hav pillow lor... Luckily, i made a new fren right. In dire situations like this, the only person i could think of was him. So i texted him and asked him if he knew of anywhere that sells sheets and pillows. Edgar was really kind and nice and told me not to worry and he would give me a buzz when his school ends. *Phew* Im like so thankful lor. If not i realli dunno how to go about buying those pillows and gettin it back to my apartment. So meanwhile, since Edgar's classes end like 7+, i made myself useful by cleaning up my entire apartment and sorting out my all my stuffs. I even cleaned the toilet bowl which was very dirty =( But after miss macho joelyn did all the cleaning, her apartment was spick and span~! So now let me take a tour round my apartment.

Once you enter the door, the kitchen is directly in front.


Then, walking out of the kitchen, you will see the living room, which is also know as the common area.

There are 2 rooms in this apartment and i chose the room at the back coz the walk-in closet is bigger and more spacious. Can keep my luggage inside. Thats the good thing of being the first one to move in. I get to choose my room, my bed, my cupboard etc =) But the bad thing is i have to do the damn cleaning la....
Walking from the common area, you will reach the front room first. Then in front of the front room would be the common toilet.
Then, walking down from the toilet, you will reach my room =)
And this would be my walk in waredrope.

At about 830pm, Edgar arrived so we went to Macy's mall which was bout 12 mins drive. However when we reached, Macy's department store was already closed for business (si bei suay lor!!). Then left with no choice, Edgar helped me to go Vagabond inn to borrow one pillow, bed sheet and a blanket for the night. Before collecting the stuff we went to El Loco Pollo (dunno if spelt correctly) for dinner coz i havent even had lunch! I onli had a muffin and pastry at 7am, a banana at 130pm and a small portion of biscuit at 7pm. I was like starving. For all the walking, carrying, wiping, cleanin, packing and scrubing (of tt stupid toilet bowl), i deserved a good meal man. And once again Edgar treated me to dinner (so paisae, he help me still have to buy mi dinner. Wad kind of world is this right? Its the unfair world... HaHa.) I didnt want to let him pay but then when i wanted to take out my wallet he sae "hey dun insult me ya" (in a jokingly manner la) but then i dunno the culture here so since he wanted to buy me maybe that's the way they do things here.
