Hao-e and i posted an ad on e-moo on Friday (advertising ourselves, how great tenants we would be etc.) And the response was indeed very good!! We got several calls and emails and finally settled on viewing 2 on Saturday (the very next day) whilst doing our laundry in between the appointments.
The first appointment was at 10am and the apartment was so close by, but we missed the 9.45am No. 1 bus. (the next bus was half an hour later.) So we trudged along South Road after getting off at the Botanical Gardens in Paget, crossing the parish border to Kent Ave in Devonshire and found the wine-coloured house. It was really nice and spacious. And the beach was 20 paces away! We couldn't find any fault with it other than the fact that we would not have the privacy since it was a house-share apartment and the supermarket was not too close by.
After yakking with the first guy for a full hour, we roasted in the sun and took a bus back to town. Off to quickie lickie laundramat to do our laundry. So many washers but not enough working dryers. Sigh. Took slightly more than 2 hours to finish the laundry. Thank God i sorted out the colours vs the whites so that shaved off 5 mins. And we seemed to have timed it perfectly cos we had lunch at bermy cuisine while waiting for our clothes. ;)
So off we went to another home in Devonshire at 2pm. This time we got lost cos i forgot the directions and we didn't have a map handy. =P It was torture lugging our clothes around all day and walking so much in my wedges. Feet were screaming by the time we got to the house. It was another apartment without much problems. Nice lawn and lindo's supermarket was like 4 mins walk away. => ooh... It was a nice-sized apartment and landlord said he would be adding new appliances eg stove, refrigerator, air-conditioner, etc. Sounded great.
We were undecided. So we prayed and asked God which apartment was better for us. Then we tossed a dollar and went for the second apartment. We paid our deposit yesterday afternoon just before going to mass and now we have a home from June!! And the address is so cute! 1 Morning Glory Drive.
