apartments in sydney

yes, they are either really good (=expensive), really crappy (=cheap), or just damn wrong inside out.


i wish the aus govmt had the initiative to buy up all the land around higher education institutes and in the inner west and east, evacuate, demolish, rebuild high rise apartments and privatise them or just create its own rental board to deal with the foreigners looking for cheap rentals. it might be chaotic every day for the govmt's rental department, but heck it's gna create so much more jobs for every one. every relatable business can profit from this shit, so why not just do it the way the chinese are doing it?

i hate aussie-designed buildings older than 10 years...

actually, i'm ranting because i am supposed to move out in about 12 days (well by 9am on the 13th Jan to be exact) and all this stuff in the room should be categorised and boxed and carted off to this nice korean family's garage and their main bedroom. did i mention the rent's 200/w with unlimited wifi? but there's going to be koreans in my face every day? (oh the horror of having to stutter out korean every day like a noob foreigner because i don't even look like one, if you get what i mean.) and the family's even more religious than my mother? (hardyharhar) and i don't even have the money for first week's rent? (maybe i shouldn't have splurged on that pair of red jeans on boxing day. but THEY FITTED ME, and i have the hardest time finding jeans that fit nowadays. excused enough) and i still don't have a job other than the irregular "tutoring"/essay guidance sessions? (cue parental grilling over the guerilla phone calls and skype meetings. it's not like i'm not sincerely looking for anything. i might be looking only for easy jobs, but seriously, cleaning all day around town? why don't you just tell me to go replace the statue-mime guy at circular quay? but still, cleaning's doable. just a bit more hurting on the pride, if i can still talk about keeping my pride up after all this academic shit.) what about the repayments on the credit card? (eff cba credit rules) what about the other bills? (why won't my own mother pay her part of the elec and wifi bills when she's been here fore more than two months. WHY am i supposed to pay all for her? even the rent!)

oh filial duties. i should just work my ass off cleaning ikea stores or something.


i have been sincerely regretting why i had not rented out my own apartment, and applied for a credit card. but my biggest regret will still be coming to sydney. it's been fun, and i still need to grow up.
