hunting season

Today's Dose of Sarcasm

People, apologies once again for the delayed update since the last post. Busy BUSY schedule this time of the year - uni semester 2 commencing along with house hunting season. If there's one thing we students hate despise LOATHE about house hunting here in Australia, it's those homosapien species we'd like to call... the "agents".

Before we cause any more confusion out there, please note that the house hunt is not meant for US, but for the two boys currently squatting comfortably in our place. Lucky bastards. Haha.

Joke joke, sepet!

Moving along! House hunting is a sore, uglay, painful blister in the arse for anyone wanting to rent a decent house in Brisbane. With the bloody Aussie economy going strong (bad for us international students getting pocket $ka-ching$ from parents back home) and the high interest rates (bad for locals here), it's actually cheaper to RENT a house than to actually BUY one. It doesn't get any uglier than that, folks. Hence, we're having abit of trouble pouncing and catching the perfect kill of a house.

$%@#!! Dangnamit.

So far, we've managed to sneak up and stalk on some of these houses, "ambushing" them at every chance we get to inspect them. These are only SOME of the many houses we've tried hunting down, but to no avail. Waiting on replies from these "agents" within the week.

Fingers crossed.

Toowong - small, dark, cramped and funky smelling.
Yes, funky smelling.

Bardon - nice. Correction. VERY nice. But, very doubtful.
Too many applicants.

Paddington - ANOTHER funky smelling hole. I mean house. Blergh.
NEXT!

Annerley - decent, brightly lit. Competing against big group of Indians. Hoping on Suren to "influence" their consideration on taking them in since he's a hybrid of a Chinese + Indian himself.
"Best of both worlds." HAH!

Indooroopilly - pretty isolated, but damn spacious for a 3 bedder at $350pw.

House hunting season is still open.

Till then, our little Bardon castle will continue to harbour and provide shelter to the two noobs of Brissie, Sherman and Suren.

Joke again, sepet! =P
