spent the first 2 days sorting out the photos, we took approx 1,200 pics and videos during the trip... spent alot of time looking around for houses and cars during the week... almost bought this 2 bedroom apartment, new, at carlingford, even made an offer for it, however, did not buy it at the end due to potential health risk because of the power line being so close by... it was a pity cos the unit itself was really nice and spacious, and airy and well ventilated... so back to looking again :(
decided to cut my hair short this time, the style did not come out as it looked on the pic, but not too bad, similar to a doll look... still getting used to the style... finished watching the moon embraces the sun... it was ok, sad at times, I thought the male lead acted really well... but it was really weird cos the female lead obviously looked older than him... some cheesy moments but hey, I consider myself one of the suckers for cheesiness... I love cheese :) currently the show which looks really interesting is Rooftop prince but is still airing, so I am waiting so im-patiently for it to end, and really having to tell myself not to fall into the trap of watching it now and becoming frustrated waiting for new episodes...
spent 3 days going for test drives, hyundai, mazda, nissan, ford, kia... after much time spent and negotiation, finally signed the contract today, for a 2012 KIA Cerato Hatch Auto in silver... in exchange for Auris... additional features include mats, tint darkest legal limit, rear parking sensors, wanted to get front ones but was told that even when stopped in traffic, the beeping starts, so decided not to, and leather seats and doortrim... the car itself is spacious, has standard Bluetooth and cruise control, the only thing I found not great was the old fashion look of the controls at the front... paid $13,000 out of pocket, cos Auris was only worth $8,000 due to the hail damage and the dents... I am going to miss Auris, my first car and I have had it for 5 years now... the other good thing abt the dealership at Hornsby is unlimited lifetime free carwash... which I thought was really good, and the station is close by, walking distance to Hornsby shops, the only thing was it did not come with roadside assist... oh the other weird thing was when we went to Ford Pennant Hills that day, the salesperson coincidentally turned out to be the future father-in-law of a colleague at work, what a small world...
so now countdown starts before I go pick up the new car and exchange Auris... have to start sorting out the car registration, CTP and car insurance...
back to work tomorrow :(
