House Hunting

Me and my fiance went for house hunting last week. The criteria of the house we were looking for was cheap, good environment, clean, near my office and of course safe. So we tried to search in Mudah, Iproperty and asking friends and colleagues.

We managed to finalized two houses to view on the weekend. 

First house viewed on last Friday night. We found this one in Mudah. It stated there it was an apartment but the moment we arrived, I knew it was actually only a flat house. Things got worse when suddenly there was cockroach flying on the back of my fiance. Haha. 

But I didn't want to jump into any conclusion yet. So we followed the owner to his apartment, entered the lift and arrived at the apartment level. The surrounding was so messy and dirty. People hanged their clothes like nobody business. Oh man, it was truly a flat like I saw in TV. Then we entered the house. It was the apartment at the end of the corridor. So it was kinda private. I like that. They moved out from the house almost one year. Just came to mop the floor or hang out for a while. But it was kinda dusty there. And dead cockroaches were everywhere. The paint already torn apart and some of their old furniture were still there. It was messy. But thinking of cheap rent offered and we knew this house can be better if we clean it, we told the owner we want to make the deal. 

But the owner keep saying this,

" Tengokla kalau ada rezeki"

" Esok ada tiga orang lagi nak tengok, kalau dorg nak tengok, kita bagi jela tengok" (erk, we want to seal the deal, hello?)

"Kot2 kalau ada orang nak up lagi" (excuse me?)

We promised to pay the deposit as soon as we can since we really want the house. Even without agreement. But after discussing with fiance and asking opinion from housemate and my mom, we cancelled. Mom said this kind of people only want money, who knew later he will suddenly ask us to move out. Really true. It can really happen. 

If you wondering, the rent was RM600.

Then the next morning, we went to another apartment. It was a new apartment. The rent was more expensive than the previous one. But the moment we arrived there, we fell in love with the apartment. It had surau, basketball court, swimming pool, designated parking and security guard. It was really nice. It also had balcony, not like before. So when the owner came, we took the lift and followed her to her apartment. It was a new empty apartment. The owner already installed the fan and the grill. And it was a lot bigger than previous one. Since we loved it so much, and since there was agent, we paid the booking fee immediately. It was a lot easier when there was agent. Everything was documented. 

The rent? RM750. 

Alhamdulillah. Now we have a house to live in. Hihi. Can't wait to decorate the house.

Till then. Assalamualaikum.
