from guesthouse to guesthouse
we planned to stay in a guesthouse before we can find a permanent place to stay. so i booked online a guesthouse, 100 meters from aljunied mrt (great-wow location i can say) for the first 3 nights. sky orchid backpackers hostel is a nice place to stay :D comfortable, clean and modern toilets and furnished with new furnitures. if in 3 first day i cannot a place then i would extend.
we arrived in saturday evening feb 16. we spent sunday for relax, church then tried to locate my new office because the next day i need to go to the office to collect documents for my employment pass.
monday came, we planned to get my ep and then would look for places we about to rent. but as i reached office, they asked me to start working! my manager was waiting for me and kept asking to the hr person why did not i show up :D then the plan changed :p i would work day time and we would hunting places to rent after office hour.
monday night i talked to erick, the sky orchids hostel's staff to extend our room but he said that we should do it online. so i grab my brother's computer and get online. what a pity .. the hostel were fully booked until feb 23, no room at all for us for the next 4 days. waaaaaaaaaaaaakssssss..... then where would we stay ??
so that monday night we looked for best price, best location, best place we could find. we decided to stay in farrer park guesthouse. its couple of steps to the mustafa shopping centre, the 24 hour, best price shopping centre. so we booked farrer park guest house for the next 3 days.
the farrer park is another nice place to stay. we hunted indians and pakistans food everynight around the place. we also explore the mustafa until midnight. but sky orchids is much much better place, so we booked online for next 7 days in sky orchids start in feb 23.
hmmm.. and where to stay in feb 22? well .. then we booked online (again) the frankel guesthouse, 200meters away from kembangan mrt. we stayed in frankel hostel before so we knew how the place is.
you might questioning about our luggage :p we left our 2 big luggages in eric's place without any charges (it should be $3/night)! we 'travel' along the guesthouses with some necessary stuffs.
praise the Lord, we finally find a place to stay before feb 23 so all we need to do was cancelled the booking in sky orchids :) and we ended our journey from guesthouse to guesthouse :)
