Found a place to live!


The rent is more than I thought I would go for. I am surprised I went with something this high. The price may be high but I think the value is higher. I'm excited.

Here's the original advert:


Hey all,

My flatmate's moving out mid-November, so I'll need a new flatmate!

Location: Jurong West, Blk 9xx. 10 minute walk to Nanyang Technological University, and roughly an hour's commute to the city.

Room type: Master bedroom, air-conditioned, with a ceiling fan, furnished with a queen-sized bed and a wardrobe.

About my awesome place:
1. You're only sharing it with one person. Me =)
2. The landlord's completely unproblematic. He stays out of our lives and appears only when repairs need to be done.
3. Full usage of kitchen - I have pots, pans, a mini toaster, a rice cooker, a slow cooker, a blender, an electric kettle and a fridge. We also have a washing machine.
4. Large flatscreen TV inherited from my ex-flatmate. We have Starhub cable TV and a Sony Playstation 3.
5. We live on the 9th floor, it's quiet and airy and there are no windows facing the corridor. Only four units per floor so no long elevator waits.
6. The place is pretty comfortable, nicely renovated and clean.
7. Living room is huge. I've hosted 3 CSers at one go comfortably.
8. We also have a storage room where we stow boxes and luggages and dead bodies.
9. Bus stop's just downstairs. Buses running are 241 and 99 (and the night bus, if I'm not mistaken).
10. 3 minute walk to a 24-hour supermarket and tons of amenities like a few food courts, clinics, a wet market and a whole array of random little shops.

Flatmate that I'd prefer:
1. Friendly, respectful of personal space. You can expect the same of me.
2. I've been hosting CSers and it's been great - so preferably someone who's open to the idea of hosting.

The only down side to my place that I can think of is that it's rather far from the city (Pioneer MRT, green line, and a bus ride), but if you're working/studying in NTU as I am, it's very convenient. The bright side is I always get seats on the MRT =)

So if you're interested, or if you have any friends who may be, do message me. The moving-in time is negotiable if you need to move in earlier than mid November.
