MOVING HOUSE...

Thank god for all the hints, warning me to beware of my current owner. Suspicion raised when we received a huge document at our door step just before we left for Cambodia. We choose to ignore it (mainly becoz we wanna enjoy our holiday), we informed the owner and mailed it to her before we leave Singapore. When we were back from Cambodia, she rang me and told me that she needs to get someone who can pay higher rental than what we are paying now. We were even more wary about it. So I called up my friend who works in the sub court to check on my owner... and indeed, she's in deep shit. It was indeed stressful for us after we learnt about it. Both Alvin and I had sleepless nights... cancel all our appointments with friends and focus on house hunting. We were worried about where we gonna shift to and are we able to get a unit that we want on time. PLUS property price in Singapore rose and rental prices are no longer within our budget. We were stressed.

For a moment we were relieved because Alvin's Dad's friend can offer us his place for rental at a low price. But because his current tenants are still under contract, we can't get the place till Sept... Back to square one, we continue our house hunt!

Finally, last Saturday, we found a unit that's just opposite our current place. And we took it up! Thank god for it... although it's 100 bucks more expensive than what we are paying now. The owner is a Christian couple. And i usually trust Christians, but my owner proves me wrong, not all Christians are honest. We almost got cheated for 200 bucks for offering to pay for the penalty to terminate their current Internet service which, according to the owners after calling the provider, that it's still under contact and penalty's 400 bucks for terminating. We were naive and trusted their words and i wrote a cheque for them.

When we got home, something tells me that something's fishy about the penalty, so we call up the service provider to ask and realised that the owner lied about the penalty. Trust is broken then! Never will i believe their words. Anyway, Alvin called them up and check again and yes indeed, after checking again, they agreed that there's no penalty, someone told them the wrong information.. (BULL SHIT!!)... And they return the cheque to me.

I m sharing our experience here with all of u, so that u don't get into the same situation like us... moral of the story.. never trust anyone... despite that they look honest, they are Christians, they look decent.. HUMANS are sinner, always tempted by greed. :p

Anyway, through all these, we learnt and become more mature and able to handle such things with care. I view it as a life skill...

AND also, we would like to thank all our friends who help us in finding house, giving information and advises, recommanding reliable agents to us and offer to help us to shift house! THANK U my dear friends... U know who u are! And Jialin, sorry that I m not able to join u guys for ur Birthday KTV session because of all these shits... sorry. And Yunxian, thank you for understanding that I need the rest after stressing so much... sorry... gotta cancel appointment with u too.
