From 12th March til today...

So, my last day @ work in KL was 11th March 2011.
And I took the night flight on 12th March and arrived in Auckland on 13th March.
What's been happening since then?

So, on my very 1st day here, I went 'flat' hunting. Besides sharing a dorm back in Uni, I've never 'flat' out on my own before. Needless to say, it was a disaster as I didn't know what to expect and how to react to the situation. Plus, the 10hour flight didn't made things better.

But I learned fast.

On the very next day, I went flatmate hunting again. First stop was in Parnell. Lovely place. Very close to my work place, so close I could roll out of bed and reach my office. Nice modern touch. Fully furnished except for the bedroom.

Later in the evening, I went to see another place down at Freesmans Bay. Nice townhouse too. Not that near to work, but it's on the bus route. It's near the supermarket and everything else in between. And my room has a beautiful view of the Sky Tower. An elderly couple owns the place and with them, they have a daughter in the house and a small dog.

On the same evening, I got both offers. Not bad eh? Not bad at all... quite proud of myself since the day before went terribly. So it was time to make a decision and it wasn't too hard a decision to make. I went for the room in Freemans Bay. And tonight is my 2nd night here in Freemans Bay, and it will be my place for the next couple of months, if not longer.

Of course I did other things in between flat hunting and moving in. I opened a bank account. Got myself a phone plan and with that plan, I was given an android phone + a hands free car kit, worth $499. Thing is, I don't even have a car here. Oh well....

To be continued...
