Still searchin'..  

Posted by hidayah

It's bugging me. Again. What, you may ask? Hmmm... Well, actually there are two things that I'm looking for, and sadly, I haven't 'found' it. So the thoughts on how to get hold of 'em has been inside my head for the past few weeks. Owh... and it comes with a dilemma, too.. to make the story short ---

1. I'm still car-hunting.
It has been my routine every morning since I arrived here to look up the local classified for cars. There are plenty, of course.. but most of the decent pre-owned cars doesn't suit my budget very well. The one that falls within the range will be the old cars with problems and if it's a decent piece, well... then it's far away from Ames. Soooo... still keeping my fingers crossed and hope that there will be one decent car that works with reasonabe price in Ames. There are many cars in the Des Moines area, but I just don't like the idea of bothering other people to bring me down there...

I am in a need of a car right now. Seriously. It is a necessity nowadays. Imagine me bringing Fatihah on the bus, which goes all around Ames, in cold weather just to get her immunization. Not to mention the number of busses that we need to transfer. Urggghhhh... Better get that car, right??? Well, not as fancy as this one here =) --

*sekadar untuk berangan saje*


2. I'm in DESPERATE need of a washer
My apartment is far -- quite far to walk to the laundromat. I have an old washer that Kak Rosita gave me in the basement, but after a couple of times using it, it won't drain. I got a dryer, though.. but what's the use of it if your washer is broken?

Solution -- walk to the landromat, which is far in walking distance, and when you're hauling two full load of laundry baskets, the laundromat seems to be farther than you realized. Yeah, and then it was raining. Just like tonight. So kesian at Zairi and Adik, both stucked at the laundromat and luckily Abg Fazli saved the day =). Again, most of the used washer are wayyyy beyond our budget (I'm talking about >$150 a washer, okay).... huhuhu....and now I'm still searching ... not as fancy as this washer, though...

Guess now we just have to be patient a little bit, while continue on searching.....

berangan takpe dayah. kalau tak berangan, nak tunggu dapat, kang tak tau bila.

memang menguji kesabaran betul kalau takde washing machine ni. dah lah ngan study lagi, anak lagi, suami lagi(hehehe), bila masa nak pk pasal baju plak kan.. memang patut pun kena beli.. try lagi lah cari yang murah...

hana took ages survey peti, last2 mak mertua offer peti ais lama dia.. nak beli sendiri (x pernah beli peti ais before, so tatau harga), yg berkenan pun >800EUR. convert tgk ~ mahalnyer...... x convert rasa murah lah, sbb gaji sini.. tp husband tak setuju pun.. dia kata mahal sgt, sedangkan tu yg dah range murah dah tu. hmmm.. surely kak dayah lagi sakit kepala, sbb xde monthly income kat sana, kan? pakai duit saving jek..

bayaran ansuran xde? cam esi payment tu~? kat carrefour sini ade jek, tp x pernah plak try. ;p
