Packing and Moving

27

August

I’m going to pack up my PC now. There will be no Internet access at my new place but I’ll be applying for it once I’ve settled down. That means there’ll be no posts of whatsoever changes going on here on alexallied.com.

Total boxes: 5.
Total luggages: 3.
Others: One sack of 10kg rice.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Haunted Mansion Revisited

27

August

We went out to the Caulfield area today with another mission similar to yesterday’s. Only the subject has changed. We’re searching for a house to rent.

Today’s Objective: Room in a House/Apartment For a Couple.
Budget: $150 max (utility bills included).

We searched the online real estate portal and found some nice rooms, some without photos, but nice prices attraced us. There’s one which stands at $100/week for two including bills. That sounds interesting. We decided to have a look…

Sleeping Pills Wanted

26

August

Didn’t sleep well last night. Accumulated total time of sleep = 3 hours. I woke up like a popped-eye goldfish. Went out today.

Today’s mission: Get a used car.
Budget: $10k. Push it under $9k.

Had an easy lunch at a Chinese BBQ restaurant. A plate of crispy chicken rice with soup + hot chinese tea cost us $3.80 a plate. That’s the cheapest I’ve seen in Melbourne. Tapao-ed (Cantonese: take-away) two rolls of Teriyaki chicken sushi roll, which costs a normal $2.20 per piece. Geez.

We rushed straight down to the train station with destination set at Ring Wood. Got there to meet up with an uncle of ours where he brought us to car shopping! We were way, way late on our appointed time, about an hour late due to the distance from Flinder Street Station to Ring Wood station. The trip took about 30-40 minutes. Well, blame us for not going there earlier for the sake of our banking transactions.

Today is Medical Check Up Day

25

August

Finally, I made it to the medical check up appointment which I’ve postpone last time around. But to hell with that check up, I’ve spent more than 3 hours in the process. It’s a part of the process for the application of my Australian PR. Well, that’s that for a day, considering I went down to the city around 12:20pm. People here closes at around 4:30+pm. Especially those lazy koala-bear-like government employees and institutions…
