So today would have been perfect for the use of a GPS... i knew there was reason I should get one... hahaha *keep giving yourself reasons michelle...* well maybe in a few months... i might get one for my birthday...
Anyhow, i finally pulled my finger out and went house hunting today... had a list of 16 places to look at but because the timings were all so close and was spread between different suburbs, I ended up only looking at 8... and clocked about 50kms on the car just driving back and forth.... Anyhow out of the 8, i applied for 2 but paid a deposit for 1. A little pricey for my liking, but what can one do? There is a price to pay for 1. apartments that are not too old, 2. security system, 3. Gas cooking, 4. close to ammenities, 5. close to work... 6. not too far from the city... 7. Privacy...
I should hear back on Monday whether I got the place or not....
So the last place that I wanted to look at was on the same street as one of my bosses, and I had initially thought "Oh, maybe Jeff knows them.. maybe they're neighbours or something..." but while driving there, I had a thought that it would have been funny if it was Jeff's place... but i said to myself "nah... jeff's got a tenant downstairs...
So I drive to the street, 15mins before the inspection time, counted the numbers on the houses, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22..... ah 22B is where it is... i looked up..... and sure enough it was Jeff's house.... I couldnt help but burst out laughing... Then I thought, that would have been a funny story for tonight's dinner... hahaha living with the boss...
Then future faculty meetings at Jeff's wouldnt be a big problem even if it was at 6am! hahahaha I'd just have to crawl out of bed... put on nice clothes... brush the hair, wash the face, walk up the steps and THERE I AM! and i don't have to worry about not being able to drink... 'cos i wouldnt have to drive home! hahaha
I got a ride tonight to Jeff's for the faculty dinner... got Stephen to pick me up on the way, so that I could drink hahahaha... no i'm not alcoholic... it's just nice to be able to drink once in a while when u're not at home... Nvm... in a yr I can do that no problem....
We had thai tonight... n the food was nice... although there's probably lots of MSG... 'cos i am so flippin thirsty now.... and i've also noted to myself, never to drink on an empty stomach... worse still, an empty HUNGRY stomach hahaha
Stephen laughed 'cos I don't think he's seen me go so red upon drinking before... in fact his words were "u've even gone a shade of brown" to which my joke was "so maybe when i was really sunburnt, i wasn't sunburnt" hahahaha... I had my coat on in the house too cos i was feeling cold... but aparantly i was hot.... I felt cold but Mr T said i was burning.... this is what i call good circulation hahahahha
Anyhow I made good use of the Mid season sale and bought new kitchen stuff for my new place... saved about $50 on a dinner set that i've always wanted.... White Basics from Maxwells and Williams, Mondo Set... wanted to wait till i moved... but figured it wasnt worth waiting because of the sale... so :) I've been wanting that set for the last 3 yrs... so because I want the GPS system too.... i might wait a few more years? and I need a new monitor for my PC... and a new rice cooker... but I might just get that in Singapore... ordered new pots n pans too... a savings of $170... Hmm I should be set for this new place.... right think its bed time for me.... till laters
