Been back home at last for the past 1-1/2weeks! Have been adjusting back to the slow pace of life here and getting all stuff back in order again..happenings since we got back....
ONLY to find that there's no water the next day after arriving back due to a burst pipe somewhere down the road for a whole day!
THEN, our phone line was still down after a heavy downpour AND landlord increased our rent additional 50%' effective from Nov'07! Big OUCH!!
That's how it is in this country..sigh..try to make the best of it from an already tight budget as, like it or not, it's our own place for the time being, rather than be like a nomad always staying at relatives' house etc.
Anyway, for a spot of good news, the phone is up in the next few days after we got back from Cairns, water tap is full and flowing again, and we've got approval from hubby's boss that we can have so-called wirelessly connected DSL connection which will cost more but will be more reliable and faster AND rent hike approved by boss too instead of having to look for another cheaper accommodation elsewhere and have to re-apply for phone which too Telikom here ONLY 6months to activate :P :P :P. Certainly DO NOT look forward to packing and moving all our stuff after getting all comfortable here and besides, this place is located in quite a safe area, facing the harbour and high enough to prevent any planned robbery :P
Safe weekend all :)
