Brisbane 100109

Reflection of what had happened on Sat...

Well, a heavy lesson I learnt this day. I was (and still am btw..) looking for a lodging and Jinhua's parents introduced his new house in Hillgate area.. With all the perks listed like TV with full channel listings, fully furnished room, internet and utilities included and landlady's kind intention to clean the kitchen and toilet every fortnight, i gave into the pressure to pay a deposit of 100 bucks upfront. And i regret it as my dad and friends around say that venue is too far away from UQ. 195 bucks a week's too much eh..

Lesson learnt : dont make a rash decision.. Take ya time!!

Hope to get back a refund if possible.. Fingers crossed :X

Dom, Ian, Jinhua and parents, and I went to Sunny Bank where there were many Asian restaurants and supermarkets. We shopped quite a bit of groceries and settled lunch at this "Little Singapore".. A decent Singapore style Fried bee hoon costs $9.90 Thanks to Jinhua's parents treat! The meal became priceless.. lol.. Yea, jokes..
Next up, Toowong village Coles!! Coles is similar to IMM's Giant supermarket.. The housebrand items rox.. Easily half the price of similar products of different brand. Bought many fruits.. 3 apples and a bunch of grapes.. Mum would be proud.. "Good boy, son!"
