Well, get xtra pay 4 it.. bt I missed all my family & frens' gathering. Bt still managed 2 join 4 our Reunion dinner at Golden Palace (bside Swiss Garden). As FYI, tis dinner was VERY IMPORTANT 2 chinese, all must gotta attend no matter wat's reason / cost.

Tis month spent A LOTS!!! *sigh*

Last week was a bz week 4 me & gf. V finally decided wanna move out from my family & rent an Apt nearby office. It was a new apt, everything was jst furnished & only 60% of space got rent out/occupied.

Some xtra xpenses occurs, like rental,gas,water & electricity bills. So far no phone line/internet service yet. V dont plan install it too, as v cn mk call usin cellphone & surfin durin office hours.

Whole apt consider quite big 4 both of us, stil left 2 empty room. Wil plan rent out soon, bt jst wonder when only Since tis was my 1st time movin away from home, nothin much in our apt. V bring some cloths, queen size bed, cabinets, table, chairs, kitchen utilities & lots of cushions/pillows :P

No TV,Hi-Fi, Air-con, water heater, refrig, microven, not even sofa...so, our electricity bill wil b very little. I was thinkin 2 top-up those facility 1-by-1, since I dont wanna pay by monthly installment. I hope my decision was right, coz when movin-in here aledi cost us some $:

Rental x 2 months
W&E deposits
Moving transportation xpenses
Contract & Agreement fee
Some basic utilities

Bt v r happy so far, finally got our own home sweet home. Altot there wil b xtra xpenses monthly, bt if plan carefully I think I cn manage

Now wil try rent out those empty rooms 2 relief some of the cost.
Try find a 2nd-hand TV & water heater.
V done most of our laundry once a week in my parent place.
Since v stayed in 14th flr, quite cozy & cold durin nite, not ned 2 install air-con at all. Fan was more than enuf

So far v cook durin my offday & Tesco was really nearby. V brought some meat & vege, spend abt 1 hour less & our dinner was done. 3 dishes + 1 soup + rice = 2 ppl only spent RM10+. Most of the time less than RM10 too bcoz v cnt finish all too... haha.

Wil consider buy a small refrig next month, if my xmas gift 4 gf & daily xpenses nt xceed my budget. So far our entertainment at home was watchin movie/soap drama in my laptop / listen radio / reading. Looks quite pity, ha!

Dont worry, jst half month movin-in, stil left plenty of time 4 us 2 add-in tis & tt. Im sure slowly our home wil bcome really a home sweet home :P
