Moving Houses
It's out with the old, and in with the new, and once again my life changes as we start to read the next chapter of my life.
A few months ago my mother informed me that the property of our house exchanged hands to a person who wants to live in his newly purchased house. This, of course, meant that we had to move. Although the apartment that I am currently residing in has its excellent facilities and is able to sustain my standard of living and more, I didn't want to move to another unit in the same apartment. I only have two more years before I graduate and leave this beautiful city (although regarded by many as otherwise. I beg to differ) and I don't want to spend it living in the same place. A change of scenery would be good and different, perhaps adding a little more flavour into my life.
It was then decided that I was going to live in another apartment, one close to the mall for a change. This was different as I have never actually lived in an apartment for a long period of time nor have I ever lived in one close to a mall. I was also going to get my own room, which is a test of a new form of independence as I have never slept in a room without the presence of my brothers. The unit on this new apartment was high up, which also meant that I would no longer have to contend with the tremendous amount of mosquitoes that never failed to bite me whenever I were to lose my guard, even at night.
So this move means a whole lot to me, both in my life in Jakarta and to my independence as a man, although that may be a little over exaggerated. My internet would be down for a few days, which is expected, but I do hope to get back online and continue posting soon enough.
This is the computer generated version of my new apartments, of which the mall Plaza Senayan is nearby.
Cheers,
