wayward kenting...

lately i was addicted to a taiwanese tv drama - Wayward Kenting 我在墾丁*天氣晴... it's about love but also about courage and dream-come-true...

ah Nan (郭紹南), starred by Ethan Ruan (阮經天), is my most favorite character in this drama (the 2nd male leading)...

grew in a broken family with his mum overseas... returned to taiwan searching for his dad but being rejected... all these resulted in a heavy-hearted personality... Ethan can handle it well and he can really reflect the kind of bitterness and painfulness in ah Nan...

but his life was totally changed by the new friends in Kenting... when Han-wen (the 1st male leading) & ah Nan opened a surfing shop... when ah Nan was fallen in love with Liang-liang... when Brother Chu drafted a proposal on environment protection & development... many many things turned around in a short time...

for detailed information about this drama... pls check it out at the official website - http://www.pts.org.tw/~web01/kenting/... but in chinese only~~~

home hunt - finale...

[july 14]
yup... home hunting again... it is neither taiwai nor diamond hill... indeed it is out of our targeted area - jubilee garden @ fotan...

actually the agent calls this afternoon regarding a new rental apartment with nice offer... it is marked 8,500 for 623 sq ft... so he urges us to pay a visit... but SW will have treatment after work... so i can only go there alone...

as descibed by the agent, the apartment is really good... having two bedrooms... one hugh living/dinning room... and half furnished (4 ft bed, 2 x closets, makeup table & open shelves etc.)... it is spacious & quite... really fitting our needs... the agent says he could check if 8,000 was acceptable for the landlord... we might even try 7,500, if we were lucky...

later in the evening (well, it is already 10pm)... i request another visit and go with SW this time... both of us find this wonderful... then the agent tries bargaining for us... and the rental is reduced to 7,500... we accept the offer and here is the deal...

we have been postponing our home hunting as we have too different perference and consideration in it... and we don't wanna argue... so wait until 4 months ahead of our wedding... we have it started... now with only a week and a few days more, we have got our "home"... God, indeed, has prepared a great place for us...

here we go... our new home... and we will collect the key next week...

home hunt...

we have limited our target to the followings:- taiwai, shatin, diamond hill, kowloon bay, yaumatei... already pretty large area rite, huh? but tonite we first started with taiwai...

we both love its community... not so packed and relax... we visited a few apartments near the KCR (should be MTR now, well...) station... most are nice... but the rental is quite high... 8,500 per month just for a 400~450 sq ft apartment...

our next station is diamond hill / kowloon bay (telford to be exact)...
