i smiled at 12:41 PM.
Hmm.. today, we are fighting a "case" in "court" -> i mean at my courtyard. I am the "lawyer", perk is the logistic officer and Mel is the advisor. We are going to speak up and ask for our RIGHTS as tenants! Sounds serious but it's actually really fun.. We have been in distress regarding our current accomodation since we moved in. Alot of ammenities and furniture are not worthed the $450 rent per week. It doesnt really help when your landlord is someone so D in character and thinks he is always superior and always right. Sounds familiar, right? We are going to have an exciting time dealing with him and made him realised subtlely that he is a fool. Haha.. I love to act "ignorant" and eventually let you realised the case may not be so.
We have been seeking help from international student services -> accomodation officer in school -> tenancy board of south Australia. Finally understood alot of procedures of renting a house, the law and order involved, blah blah blah. Pretty technical. We sat down together last night to type out documents and acting out the possible situation when negotiating with the landlord today. Well, it is a very stressful and disturbing thing to happen here but.. Look at it this way, without what has happened, we would not know the law that well, we would not know where to seek for help. We would not encounter a chance to speak our stand with a senior man with such a "strong" character and to let him know we are not ignorant. That would be a great experience, isnt it? Looking at the bright side, it's like CSI/ lawsuit movie... aint it interesting? I got this positive thinking from Susan laoshi. I can still remember vividly what she told me about looking at things in a different light, make it interesting and you would find it, it's not that difficult after all.
Well, just pray hard that we would win our case. I am confident that i would fight it well and have a high chance to win it!
If we win, we would be staying put and internet connection would be up on next wed 12th March!
TATA!
