Dilema Rumah Sewa

Ok.. here's the thing.. Kat sini most house rent is per year contract. Sounds familiar? The thing is, not just per year contract, tapi bayar pun ikut tahun. Sewanya bergantung pada jenis bangunan, jenis rumah, kawasan dan kemudahan yg ada.
Rumah yg aku duduk skrg.. walaupun building tu itself takde facilities kecuali parking, tapi location nya sangat menarik. And keluasan pun besar. Tapi.. this coming year sewa nya naik...
Bukan la tak mampu nak bayar sewa yg naik tu. But since kita dah pandai sket hidup kat sini, rasanya tak perlu bayar mahal macam tu lagi dah. So I'm thinking of renting a new unit.
Masalahnya... kat mana mana pun skrg ni sewa nya naik. Yes.. landlord aku sangat bijak. Dia naikkan sewa 5k. Sewa bangunan lain yang berdekatan sama dengan harga sewa yang dia naikkan tu. Tapi bila kita nak pindah, banyak hidden cost. Nak bayar sewa lori n patan angkat barang lagi. Agent fee lagi.. Maybe ada furniture yang nak kena alter lagi.. So kalau nak balik modal kena cari yang at least 10k lower than the current rent.
Aku pun tak berapa minat nak pindah jauh2. Kawan2 aku kebanyakannya kat sini je. And tak kuasa la jugak nak commute jauh2 walaupun jauh tu hanya la dalam 40km je kot.. Option aku sekarang ialah studio apartment.
Tak jugak senang nak cari studio yg ikut bajet ni. Tambah plak lagi a nice clean and spacious studio. Kalau ada je yg elok, baru aku nak buat appointment utk view dah ada org lain cop...
Ada satu lagi option. Which is quite good. Tapi aku akan hidup mcm dok asrama. And aku kena let go semua furniture aku. And for sure tak cukup la tempat nak simpan segala handbags.. kasut... jacket...
Kepala sudah pening mana mau pilih........

Mi Apartment





There's the completed living room. Lengkap dengan rak tempat menyorokkan kotak2 kasutku dan juga segala vacuum n iron board. Tak nampak kan iron board nye? hehe..Let's recap what I bought.


Kitchen stuff. Washing machine+dryer Indesit brand. Stove+oven also Indesit. Peti ais Daewoo. Rice cooker Sharp. Kettle Kenwood. All from Carefour. The reason of the mix and match brands were because i bought the cheapest they have for each item. Not really the cheapest la. Kalau cheapest i would have got a single door fridge kan. Cheapest for the spec la i mean.



Living room plak. The rak serbaguna tu from Home R Us. Bukan Toys r Us ok.. The L-Shape sofa pun from Home R Us gak. Reason being, I'm very particular about the sofa. Yg suka pun Ikea homey looking sofa tu. But quite expensive though for the quality. Went to Home R Us and they had a superb sale. This sofa is actually 50% sale and the rack was 70% sale. So beli la kan.. Empuk pun empuk. And had been menyesal for buying the other stuff kat Ikea earlier. That is the coffee table and TV rack. TV is Samsung 32" from Carrefour.




Bedroom stuff. Sume Ikea except the carpet. Katil+bedside+chest of drawers are my ever dream Asperlund. Nak beli masa kat Malaysia tak mampu. Gaji kecik. huhu.. Carpet was from Abu Dhabi Co-op. Sale gak. About 30% kot. Wardrobe is built in. So, tak beli la.

So, that's all. I love this place. It really feels homey. dah mula sepah2 dah dgn cable laptopnye, botol air nye, remote control, selimut bagai.. huhu.. mmg totally homey la. Got myself the building satellite TV which include Fox Movies, Fox Series, MBC 1,2,3,4, Max and Action. Dubai 1 is also showing english speaking thing. Al jazeera, CNN, Bloomberg and the other 2000 channels. Also got my double play e-life from etisalat for house phone and internet. So i'm basically (almost) settling down here. Next is Emirates ID and Driving License. Hope to get them reallyyy soooonnnn...
