im still looking for nice room near (or not) to my working place.

i really miss brisbane when it comes to room-hunting, simply for 2 reasons:
1. in aussie, things are more web-oriented. owner/co-tenant/ agent will post their available properties/ rooms online. while in SG, many people still rely on newspaper/ notices/ word of mouth when it comes to getting a room. while i'm in jb most of the time for now, how am i going to 'buy' the daily newspaper (and i'm only aiming the CLASSIFIED)?

2. in point 1 above, i mentioned that most people still rely on notice boards. so whenever i go to SG i will go around walking under the sun in the hot and humid weather, reading notices pasted by owners/ agents at the notice board at each major bus/ MRT station. felt totally drained. and definitely NOT happy.

i must say that i'm not very familiar with the market price. but all i'm asking is a decent room^ with decent housemate and no unreasonable request^^.

^ like, at least the room is well-lit, paint NOT sloughed off. and the door, lockable!
^^ like, no electricity after 12. laundry once a week is still bearable. but no electricity after 12??! like, how?! im fully aware the goodness of sleep-early and wake up early. but, no. i still prefer waking up in the night!

anyone have any good recommendation about room please let me know okie? (like friend's friend's friend's brother/ sister, or cousin's uncle's sister's daughter) i will appreciate your help!!

at the mean time, i'll be staying in my mom's brother's wife (okie lar, my auntie)'s sister's co-rented place. though it's quite a distant from my working place, but.. mai hiam buey pai. i shall just stay there for now, until i found a room that i can fall in love with the 1st sight i see it. that day will come, i have a positive strong feeling about this!
