New Place

My eyes are closing but before going to sleep, just had to express these mixed feelings of mine... :)

Just yesterday my bro & I moved to a new place. The room was a lil bigger than what I remembered it to be (good thing it is, phew* with all the stuff we brought in lol!).

My sis arranged for movers & they were scheduled to come at 1.30pm. I woke up only around 10am haha... well, I guess it would have been ok if I have already finished packing my stuff...I have not finished even by 4am the "night" before & so I gave up & went to bed...

Anyway that morning, guess what? It was raining.. (no wonder it was so hard to get up, lol) Movers called & informed us that they will be an hour late. Honestly we didn't mind because there was still quite a bit to pack.

In the midst of packing our belongings into the boxes, we then realized that we needed 2 more extra boxes & two luggage bags. We have at least 5 extra boxes...the thing is that it is not included in the quotation! ...so my sis called the movers to inform them & ask them for a re-quote due to additional items. Surprisingly they did not charge us for the additional items~ yay! Thank you Jesus! ^^

We were very happy because in fact before we engaged this particular mover's company, my sis actually confirmed another company several days in advance. Let's call em Mover A. The price they quoted us in fact was more expensive (At that point of time we did not bother to compare the rates too much) which is still acceptable - apparently Mover A is supposed to be a established company.

Here comes the irritating part - Days before the actual day, we revised our pick-up list & added a few cartons & stuff. We would not be surprised for a revised price quotation but what turned us off was the staff's attitude. To cut the story short my sis felt that her tone of voice & choice of words were unnecessary, her attitude towards the situation was downright unprofessional. My sis already paid them the deposit, so maybe they thought that they could push us around...

Well, too bad for Mover A. We cancelled our booking with them & engaged Mover B instead. And guess what? We still save $50 :) Not to mention that later on we still added some last minute items hehe... =P

Everything turned out ok :)

Just a little tired from all these stuff until this afternoon. So happy! The packing & moving & unpacking & cleaning is over with! (Well, for now at least)

After some household-stuff shopping, ended the trip with a 1 hour foot massage ^^ A very good relief for my aching feet, mostly from standing for long hours.

Tired, sleepy, last but not least, content :)

God bless you all

Till next time, jia ne~
