A Place To Call His Own
I'll be taking T to see the crib this Saturday. It's one of the nicest and definitely cheapest one we've seen on the market. People has been asking why would T need to shop around for a property when both his brother and sister are around and are ever-so-willing to provide him a room in our apartments. Well, the parents think differently. Mama and Aboh have been asking us to look for an apartment for T so that once he graduates, he'll learn to live on his own. (Although he has mentioned that he'll still be in our homes for free food and TLC, hehe) But according to them, it has to be around my area so that they'll get to be with both of their kids whenever they visit (Abang would have to drive to us now, muahaha!)which I reckon will be quite frequent once Mama retires this December.
Back to the apartment, it is cosy, spacious and slightly larger than ours. Is is cheaper because it is on the ground floor, and the setback is that it is 2km from where my place is, which means T still needs to drive to get his free meals, haha. Nothing is signed and sealed yet, but the plan looks good. Can't wait to have T nearby! *fingers crossed*
Jiji made a comment to Buster that it's not a wise decision to invest in another place when T can stay at either mine's or Abang's for free. She mentioned the financial burden on the parents, a wee-too-early commitment for T. I got a bit defensive when I heard this and remarks like "Easy for you to say, you don't have to live away from your hometown!", "Just because you can stay in the large house your parents own right smacked in the middle of the city!" and "She doesn't have to pay RM900 a month to someone she doesn't know for an apartment with only the most basic necessities" were uttered. But then I realised, she is after all an accountant who does mean well really. And it is not her fault if she gets to stay with her parents up till now. I know I might have done the same if mine was here as well!
