Moving in

Kelly picks me up at about 2 pm (with me and my bags waiting on the hotel doorstep) and we get to Solaris – my new home! It’s just as I remember: there are 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, nice kitchen, fab view over the city and it’s brand new. I think I am going to really like it here. Whilst I prance about the place opening cupboards, wardrobes, looking in the loo, trying the shower and air conditioning, Kelly is getting the broadband set up, but for some reason it just won’t work, so we are all there trying to figure out why the bloody thing isn’t connecting, and I just happen to say “did you put the SIM in?

Ah

So, broadband sorted, next was handing over the place, so the owner had to grab me and went round explaining what all the switches were (we had to guess a few, and I think I’ll need some labels) and checking that all the appliances, air conditioning etc turned on and off OK. That done, Kelly signs over the place to me (in fact there are a few things that are not working: the gas for a start (pretty important) and one of the bathrooms has no hot water – both of these are ok actually, as I will probably not want to cook anything on the hob in the next few days anyway…

They all leave and I’m here, on my own, in my apartment overlooking Kuala Lumpur! And I suddenly feel a bit lonely, wishing there was someone else here to share this moment with. Ah well, now I just need to make an effort to get out, meet some people and make the most of my time here.
