he was happy to leave his former hell hole Genting, but unfortunately landed his ass into a bigger hell hole, singapore lol. he needed help to search for a room to rent, and who did he come to for help? the wrong guy, me. why? a newbie helping a newbie, lets get dangerous!
didnt really do much on saturday, except making calls to some agents to check on available rooms, same case on sunday, we couldnt get to view any rooms, and we had nothing to do on that nite so we went for a stroll down orchard road.
monday. the fun begins. made calls again like the past two days, but this time we had the chance of seeing a room at Dhoby Gaut, a station away from his future working place. we met up with this agent named CJ, probably initials for his name, nice indian chap, arent all real estate agents? when we reached the block where the room was, first thought was "not bad la...". so CJ brought us up to the room, actually, brought us up, walked half the block, went down a stairs, that's where we arrived at the lot. he kept insisting that the landlord is a nice fella and keeps the place simple and tidy...so as we entered...simple IS DEFINITELY the word to describe it. whole place was empty, and damn it was simple. "ok" was what i told raymond, till we got to the room he asked for.
next word in my mind : "OKAAAY". the room was like some medieval age room during the times when the Holy War began, tiles are ancient, bed IS ancient, walls are ancient, closet ...well, present. and CJ had to brag about the closet, tapping at it while saying "it's a good closet, you can keep alot of things in it". ok thanks for upselling the closet, how bout we check out the rest of the house?
i HAD to take this next pic.
and CJ was like "yeah it's simple place, nice place and strategic." raymond asked about the landlord and the other tenant, they were two indian christians who're like in their late 30s.
me : hell no i'm not coming here to find you if you're staying here.
raymond : better not stay here, later the landlord feel boring, knock on my door, and rape me.
best quote from CJ : "if i put up this room on the ad, it'll snap up in no time". HAHA yeah if anyone wants to go for war.
i figured out what the initials CJ meant, it's Cuckoo Jiao. well, raymond told CJ he'll confirm about taking the room later in the evening.
we got lucky and got ourselves another room to check out, this time at Toa Payoh, about 6 stops away from his workplace. so we ch-ch-ch-checked it out.
a proper definition of "a room for rent".
owner is a chinese family of 3, nice fella who speaks english (thank god) and has the same surname as raymond (owner : i'm Tan, you also Tan, hah hah hah!). raymond confirmed this room, and shoved CJ's crap up his arse.
best quote from Mr.Tan : if you want wireless, you subscript la.
raymond's been using the word ever since.
caution : sudden snore may erupt
chow yun fatt : welcome to singapore!
raymond : down...damn down.
