Day 3 in Adelaide

i woke up earlier today to catch the bus to Portrush Road.. getting ready was relatively easier and faster today as i've already mastered the technique of using one particular shower! haha! after my shower, i went to the kitchen to pack some sandwiches for breakfast and lunch.. 3 slices of bread with Tuna (bought canned Tuna in Pure Olive Oil from Woolworths yesterday) and 1 slice of bread with Raspberry Jam (courtesy of Tatt's)..

managed to get out of Tatt's at about 9am and went to the InfoCentre (again~) to get the bus time tables for Buses 102, 104 and 105 that will get me to Portrush Road.. waiting for the bus took quite some time, it must be the peak hour.. the journey itself took about 15mins, which was good enough for me.. after getting off and taking a look at the house, i continued to Marden Shopping Centre.. which took me a good 20mins walk! Gosh.. i really need the bicycle in the house.. at the 'shopping centre', i gave Naz a call but got to his voicemail instead.. so i left a message to tell him i would love to take the room..

went back to the City.. and decided that i deserved a coffee! it's been ages since i last drank coffee! more than 2 weeks! gosh! So i ordered a Irish Nut Creme Latte at Gloria Jeans situated in Borders! oh yummy~ feels real good~ hehez.. so i drank my first cup of coffee in about 18 days while reading Time.. after coffee, i was contemplating if i should get The Last Juror by John Grisham when i saw '24' on sale! Seasons 1 - 5! gosh! and it was Buy-3-for-the-Price-of-2! normally, i would have stood there and think for a long time, torn between walking out empty-handed or not.. but today's not a normal day because i've never seen 24 on sale!!! and i've really been waiting for it! yup, so i bought Seasons 1, 2, 3!!! Gosh, i was a happy person when i walked out of Borders, notheless, quite guilty.. hehez..

oh, while at Borders, i received a call from Naz saying that i can have the room! he asked me to do a transfer of 2 weeks' bond and 2 weeks' rent to him.. but i've my reservations as well, even though that was the 'normal' rental procedure if i want him to keep the room for me.. i told him i'll only transfer the bond and 1 week's rent to him.. he said alright and i can move into the house tomorrow! and we'll sign the contract on Friday!

went straight back to Tatt's so as to avoid more spending.. and to transfer the money to Naz.. hopefully i wont get cheated of my money! i couldnt bring myself to be happy until i have the keys in my hand to open the door to the house! i was hungry after that and cooked a packet of Nissin Tonkutsu instant noodles.. with no ingredients because Mum sent a message saying, "no meat today".. but it was only after i ate 2 slices of bread with Tuna.. hmmm.. so i refrained from any meat for lunch and ate only noodles.. quick and easy for the time being.. after my late lunch, i took out the information pack that i received on Monday and read through some of the stuff in there.. i reckon i still have about half to go.. but i was tired and took a shower..

now i'm hungry but my choices are not very wide, considering the 'no meat today' message and the time now.. i guess i'll go the the kitchen and get some milk and bread with Raspberry Jam~
