Anger? Disappointment? Annoyance?
I finally told my housemates about our plans of moving out last week. They just said they will make arrangements. Okay. Fine. Then the landlord puts up the whole unit for letting and someone came over to have a look. Not sure whether they liked it or not but I don’t really care. Then I suppose I was thinking of an easy way out and proposed that we don’t pay the last month’s rental since the landlords have our deposit. First they said okay. The landlords of course did not agree with such matters and insisted that we pay for the 7th month and if we do not, we have to vacate in 11 days. And in the beginning, they had not given us an option to stay till only the 6th month and move out straight.
I told the flat mates and they came back to me, saying what I am doing is a bit too much, because I expected them to find someone to replace me in such short notice or find another place even. Sure, it’s punishment to them but I hadn’t exactly said that I was going to move out on 13 February 2008. I told them I would be moving out at the end of February which means I pay both sides. One of them actually mentioned that I was irresponsible to act like I did….errr…whatever
Then I thought I’d help them out by placing ads online to get someone to take over my room so they can continue living comfortably like they want to. Some people got back to me and of course I am thrilled, which means I can move out soon and not pay both sides. When I told them just now, they tell me they want Malaysian flat mates.
Great. Just great. I try to do good and I get slapped back in the face. “Excuse me for feeling a bit guilty for wanting to move on such short notice and for being nice but you don’t deserve it.”
They placed ads online as well I suppose. And because they need the time to find these housemates, I have to stay another freaking month with them and pay through my nose. How in the world can you find Malaysians who’d want to pay such a huge amount for the room, I leave it to them. Seriously, why be picky?
The reason they gave to me, when you leave, we have to live with these people whoever they are and they say that they have a right to choose. Sure, I was impulsive in placing the ads but which person out there does not want to look out for themselves. The most important thing right now is to get everything settled and here they come being picky?
So much for me trying to make it up to them eh? Why am I even bothered? I know I am trying to help myself but it benefits them too y’know.
Life is unfair I know but c’mon, this must be a really sick joke. How much more must I suffer?
