Last weekend was the most tiring weekend. It stated of on Wednesday where I had to vacate the serviced apartment where I was staying for the past one month eversince I arrived. called Shaty Al Murjah near Salama Centre. The rent is pretty reasonable compared to Doha. A 2 bedroom fully furnished apartment for SAR 3,500 a month compared to the 1 bedroom fully furnished apartment in Doha costing me QAR 7,000 a month. I wanted to stay on but they had to increase the rent to SAR 7,500 for 2 months due to school holidays.
I had no other choice than to move. I started of looking for an apartment near Hamraa. Since my budget was limited I ended up resorting to a 3 bedroom apartment costing me SAR 36,000 a month and I have to pay upfront!. Hai bukan senang nak senang kena banyak keluar modal. Mujur ada lagi saving masa di kerja di Doha dulu.
Apartment dia lama tapi di chat semula tapi semua kena beli. Dari Air cond, fridge, lampu, dapur dan lain-lain. I had to spend more than SAR 10K. Bayangkan la AC aje dalam SAR 1K sebiji dan kalau ada 6 bilik...
So going back to last Wednesday, lepas office terpaksa bergegas ke apartment nak angkat barang yang last. PAda hal dah 3 hari mula angkat barang sedikit demi sedikit. So masa last day tu kereta sarat sakan. dengan pokok baju dan segala2 barang yang ada. Sampai apartment baru kena pula memunggah ke tingkat 2.. Letih....
Malam tu bila dah punggah barang, bersihkan rumah dulu, maklumlah bukan boleh tengok cat-cat yg comot kat lantai. Lepas tu mop dan vaccum lantai... Sebelah petang pergi beli Sofa Di Kharaj. Disini macam-macam ada, yang brand new atau second hand. Tengok furniture dia.... hai Lomah Eden, Colour Purple Merah, Orange dan design nya kus mangat tak berkenan langsung. Nak beli kat IKEA mahal la pula. So finally I beli satu set yang nampak OK la pada mata I. Harga 4 pcs 3-2-1-1 seater for SAR 1200. I guess it is a good deal. So dah beli satu hal, nak mengankut ke apartment is another hal. Mujur ada bawa kawan yg boleh cakap Arab kalau tidak macam Ayam dgn Itik bercakap.. So negotiate punya negotiate dapat la SAR 80. Dalam fikiran I, org tua ni mesti ade kelindan.. To my surprise dia mai hantar sofa tu sorang dia dan dia mengangkut dari bawah ke tingkat dua. Teror betul semua buat sorang sorang. Looking back my self I feel ashamed. Dok pindah pun complain loteh..
So lepas beli sofa sebelah malam ke IKEA pulak beli apa-apa yg patut. Sampai umah kul 12.30 terus tidur. The next day kemas lagif and now kira dah 80% la siap except for soft furnishing. Dah beli tapi panjang la pulak and nak kena cari kedai alteration.
Begini la hidup kami di rantauan....
