Topic: Moving House (no, not Wee Li Lin's docu's kinda "house")
Reason: Saving money (economy crisis le, gonna save more money for the rainy days)
Steps taken: Look for a cheaper rental room.
Requirements: Common room, air-cond not required but rental must include internet and PUB must be $400 or below, with washing machine, FULLY furnished, no baby at home.
Field reports:
1. Found one room @ Tampines Block 507. Room rental as advertised is at $450, with photo attached.
The room is indeed very nicely furnished, with the queen size bed. Very new. Owner is a newly wed young couple, with a little puppy at home. Totally love this place. She was willing to lower down the rental to $400 because she was looking for a dog lover as the tenant, as her previous tenant mistreated the dog. Happily, I agreed to rent the place. Both the owner and I happily agreed to the agreement.....until....
She called me 2 days before I shift in and to sign the agreement....
"Sorry, I'm pregnant and my husband does not want to rent out the room because he wants me to leave the room to my mum n sis to come and take care of me"
...............................
I'm left speechless....and homeless.....
Mission: Find a room in 2 days.
Option 1: Chai Chee = Block very far from bus stop and MRT. Room with old furniture. $400. Result: Red light.
Option 2: Block 29, behind Bedok CC, Utility room but very nicely renovated, and fully furnished. All new furniture. No owner, staying with owner's daughter only. $350.
Result: Yellow light
Option 3: Bedok Block 35. House far from MRT. Not well furnished. Rental @ $450.
Result: Red light.
I'm left with OPTION 2. Which is where I'm staying. Indeed I am happy with my room though it's a little small but it's my cosy corner everyday. The few turn offs are:
1. Internet additional charges to be paid to owner's daughter.
2. Next to toilet
3. Low floor
The great few points:
1. Just behind CC. Can join activities!
2. Very near walking distance to MRT and bust stop.
3. Very nicely furnished room, so stylo, with a IKEA wall mount IKEA just at my bedside!
4. Nice housemate next door. (so far so good)
5. Freedom
So ok la....for $375 per month, it is considered a good deal and good choice. Let's hope I'll stay long!
