garage sales n curry mee

in the morning, we (aween,teya,pka,kak nik sha n i) went to garage sales
we were looking for some stuff like furniture,electrical appliances to put into our new house

wat is garage sales?
according to wikipedia...A garage sale, also known as a yard sale, rummage sale, tag sale, attic sale, moving sale, or junk sale, is an informal, irregularly scheduled event for the sale of used goods by private individuals, in which "block sales" are allowed, so that sellers are not required to obtain business licenses or collect sales tax.

we bought a lot of things
some are necessary,some are not
but most of the things are cheap
we bought 3 chaird for $4...cheap rite??
i also bought a belt that only cost me &1

it is better if we go to garage sales early as we can buy more
we went home at 2
we cooked curry mee..nyum2
it was so nice...
but the funny thing is kak fadila try to heat up the boil egg by microwave
n the egg was burst in the microwave
when we took it out,the egg burst n it splash evrywhere...hahaha
i shud tke a pic of the burst egg....hihihi
at last we didnt eat any egg with mee curry
hahaha

as the day was so hot
we end up ate many cups of ice cream
but the truth is the Bulla ice cream is so nice

i sms to my abah ask him to buy the tcket soon
i cant wait to go home...hahhaha just been here for a week but now thinking to go home...

looking for accomodation...

it was a 2nd day..

we went to uni at 10am by bus

the bus was different from malaysian bus

the bus is longer n can bend into L-shape(according to kak aini)

we went to enrol n get our welcome pack

then we went to accomodation service to look for accomodation

after short listing, we went to eat at swinging bowl...wat does it means?? mangkuk hayun..hahah

its funny name..

it is a malaysian restaurant

rice + 2 food(lauk) is $5...at least we can find malaysian n halal food here

then we went to inspect the houses

the 1st house...hurm....quite far

2nd hse....nice,beautiful,big,cheap,comfortable,good land lord but there is another man who live in the backyard....hurm.....just one problem spoil our imagination to stay there..its really a nice house..we like it so much until we find out the man who stay at the backyard..the man that doesnt work n very lonely.....mysterious

3rd house....it was a new house i guess...its quite near to the ct but it is so small although it is a-double storey house...

4th house....we went there early...so we just sat there n chatting...then..we walk out to find toilet..but when we turn back, we saw a woman got into the house..so we went to the house n ask her some question bout the house but she said she doesnt know anyting n she slammed the door....good xperience huh? then we went to the toilet..we called the agent that advertise the house.the agent said it was true that they are advertising the house for rent...aiksss....confusing?!!? then, we went back to the house...many people were queeing up in front of the house..aikksss wat happen?!?! we wait for a while n the agent came...we went into the house n saw the woman sitting in the kitchen using her laptop but her face wasnt a happy face....errkk..mayb she got prob with the landlord..watever...bout the house...it was a long house with the small compound..not really a nice house...

it was a tiring day n we got a lot of things that we can learn...

i better go sleep
