So…

I have a bit of free time. So I might as well update and post my first blog of the year.

Been a tad busy recently. I’ve been going to St Albans to have a look at the units and see if it does look like the picture on the website. I was supposed to have a week off cos I wasn’t on the roster but when I went to check my roster for next week (which I wasn’t on again…) my manager saw me and begged me to work…..’now’ in a way… he gave me about an hour or two to get ready for work. And I was in my casual clothes. Meh….I had nothing to do. My outing with my friend was cancelled and it was changed to today… but it was cancelled again. Oh well…

I thought my house hunting had come to an end yesterday… but its not. We were intending to end this house hunting yesterday…. But getting a place to live isn’t official yet. It’s been really really hard. I’ll get back to that shortly.

There seems to be paranoia in the streets… ppl start to get out and ask us what we were doing and others peaked through their window. Yesterday we limited the number of houses to a few. Well….two in St Albans… one was a unit on the main road. Went for the inspection…outside looked nice and inside looked decent from the pictures on the net. We went in and the agent said that the unit doesn’t have gas. (!!!!) and we noticed a thick crack on the wall that ran from the roof to almost the floor. (just a plaster crack…but still….there’s a lot of work to be done) and the family isn’t moving til at least 60 days. That’s almost 4 months… 4 months of me driving there!!!

Well chances are…I’m not gonna move houses in time…

The other unit in St Albans….we cancelled the inspection cos my family is paranoid that I’m gonna get hurt. There are big trees on both the front and back of the house… and its bad luck in a way….

So…..its possibly that I’ll be moving to Sunshine. Which is near St Albans.

I went to one unit and it was like….30 mins til inspection time so my dad and my bro went out to the other unit in Sunshine to check the outside. Turns out it didn’t look as good as the picture for the balcony is rusted and stuff…and no parking space.

So 0 in St Albans. 1 in Sunshine.

The unit is newly renovated so it is in good condition. Big parking space. Bus stop, shops and train station are nearby. Like 5-10 mins walk. And I spoke to a few neighbours in that….10 unit place…most of them are elderly and retired. So its quiet. And they are friendly. Oh and there is a reserve across the road. Another family and some….other guy turned up to the inspection as well….so it’s a competition as to who gets it first. We already made an offer… we just need to wait for a phonecall to see if we do get it. I really do hope I do live there. The neighbours are nice and they know EVERYONE there. Meaning they look after each other. Compared to the unit in St Albans….

Soo…I’m starting to lose hope…..what’s kinda bad is that my family is going to the Gold Coast. So we can’t house hunt and stuff…

Yesterday my family also went out to eat and catch up with our relatives who came for a visit from Perth. They know that I’m changing course and my cousins husband, who is a doctor, said something along the lines of ‘it’s interesting on what you’ll do’ and mentioned his cousin wanted to be a paramedic but he never went in no matter how he tried. Something that bugs me is that having 20-20 vision is a must. His cousin even lasered his eyes to get in but he still couldn’t… wth?!?! I thoroughly read the Ambulance services website and the criteria doesn’t say ‘…must have perfect vision’ its kinda…..wrong…..I’m not letting that as a disadvantage…

So….that’s it from me for now.
