It's been basically 5 days since I've arrived and so far, I haven't done much to settle myself in my apartment. I still have all my clothes in my suitcases since I don't have a wardrobe to put my clothes in. I still haven't been to that swimming pool with crisp blue water that I can see from my balcony 9 floors down.I also haven't been to the gym at the condo yet, so still don't know if it's good enough. Lastly, I haven't started fixing my room yet, so it's still unfurnished.
At least I've done something today to cope with the last issue. Today, I went to buy paint! Yes! It was a huge step to locate the nearest paint store to finally get the ball rolling! So, I went to the store and managed to strike a deal with the salesman. Since they don't have sample colours to hand out, I'd get one of the 1l tins in one color and try it on a piece of my wall. Tomorrow, I'm going to return it for another color until I've tried them both. After that, I'll buy a bigger tin with the wanted color! It sounded good when the deal was made, but we'll see tomorrow if it really worked!
The colors are two different shades of blue with one being a bit greenish as well. I'll post the results of both and maybe you guys can vote for the best one?
Ok, besides the settling, I've been to a birthday party at a cousins place and watched a movie at the cinema with another cousin and her friend. That's also a part of settling in, right? The party was in Cheras, which is about 45 minutes by car from my place. I still haven't gotten used to the taxi prices here as I was sursprised to only pay 25 RM for the trip (about 5 EUR...). I met a cousin there I haven't seen since I was, like, 10-12? It was really cool to start of my stay with a fun birthday!
The name of the movie? Lovely Bones, directed by Peter Jackson after the book with the same name. It was about a girl that saw how the life of her family continued after she got murdered by a pedofile. Not exactly the happiest movie I've seen and it doesn't do on a big cinema screen. Still, I'd give it a 3.5/5.
