i've been looking for a place to stay for the last 2 months.. i've seen many options, ranging from the whole unit in a condominium, the whole HDB, studios, room in HDB, room in landed houses, room in condominium, you name it.. i've seen most of them and put them into my option list. the agents that i've used.. is countless. LOL.
i actually feel in love with a room in a bungalow in Holland Road. Jesus Christ, the bungalow is seriously HUGE! the garden is everywhere.. in front, at the back, by the sides, everywhere! and you guess what's the rent for a month for that house? 16,000 man! LOL.. but the landlord said that she's very lonely and she needs accompanion; therefore she offered me a room in that bungalow with only 1,200+utilities share. that's a very berry good deal, because the actual rate of that room is at least 4,000.. it was a very fantastic offer.. but then i didn't feel peace that time, no matter how big the house is, how cheap the price is, how dazzling the furnitures are, i didn't feel peace in my heart.. therefore i couldn't sign the tenancy agreement. the other house that i fell for is again a room in a landed house in Bukit timah, 6th avenue.. dang the owner is rich as well.. she even built a swimming pool inside her house.. again, the offer was good, 1,000 for the common room, and 1,600 for the big room+utilities share. this is a great offer.. remembering that they are located at the prime area. yeah, you know i only stay in prime areas :) my max traveling time is only 20mins by cab LOL. but again i fell for the house, but there's something inside of me telling that i shouldn't make a decision this fast, think more.. so yah..
hmphh.. it was always like that when it comes to houseviewing.. and you know i don't have much time left, we are reaching midst of october and i need to move out in 2 weeks time! this isn't great.. i desperately called few agents more, and ask them to rushly find me a shelter! in my little heart i keep on yelling to my ears, God will provides.. God will provides.. ignoring the limited time we have, i keep telling.. you'll be good :)
then yesterday night, after i viewed few studios and rooms near orchard; my friend told me to come down to his house, maybe his aunty has a room to let. So i managed to call the aunty, and said that i need a room with preferably a bathroom attached. then she asked me to come down to her place, and tralalala.. its a penthouse! it's a 3 storey+the upstairs balcony.. so total is 4. its biggggg.. and the room is very pleasant. it may not look as good as my current room, but this room is big as well, and guess what everything is double there. i have 2 desks, i have 4 doors wardrobe, i have 2 book shelves, i have 2 drawers.. everything is 2.. a little surprise is that the room comes with a small fridge and later on the aunty promised to give me a microwave later.. and yeah, it comes with an attached bathroom.. the great news is they have a maid who will cleans all the rooms and the bathrooms as well.. as well cleaning our clothing and irons them. wowwww i don't need iron and wash :P and guess.. how much is the price! 1,200 includes the utilities.. and it's a master room located in the prime areas as well. my tower is the 1st tower from the security and its just at the back of the bus stop.. amenities are very nearby.. full condo facilities, supermarket, saloon, cafe, etc..i kinda feel good about the place. and what's make me more excited is that the aunty is good, she's lovely and simply charming she has a doctor husband, whom i heard is also good. and yeah, they are Christians. when i first went in the house i saw the sign "God bless hour home" near the shoe rack. i was like.."hmph.. this house should be warm enough with enough blessings inside" and yeah.. i finally took the room, and i kinda like the room.. :) i want to say that God is extra good, He has planned everything for us, things that we never think about, He has thought about it before. who thinks that i'll find a house at night when the time for house viewing is already over? God is great, and He always come on time! from now on, what ever problems you face, stop saying.. "i don't have enough time" you always have enough time, but you may not have the abilities to cope with that time, but God has it.. and He'll do it for you. as long you already gave your best shot.. then what else matter? just surrender, and God will deal with the rest! :)
let's change our mind set.. stop saying "God, i have a biggggg problem" instead, say this; "problems, i have a BIG GOD"
have a blessed day everyone.. :]
