Why I Think Kowhaii Is Better Than The Rest

k this was long overdue. but since Mr. anon wants to know to decide his/her future accomodation at UC, why not list it out?

so first, my problems with Hinau:
-fridge too small
-room doesn't have drawers to put stuff in
-you gotta pay 4 bucks a week for laundry
-no light switch near bed so you can tuck urself in and then turn off the lights.
-the closet is like totally open most of the time.
-theres no oven (for those who like to bake or cook food that requires baking
-the heater was a pain to figure out. can only work it illegally.
-the room comes with only 2 hooks to hang clothes.
-further from uni
-small living room
-flat doesn't have doorbell
-no mirror in room

but there's some good also:
-"home-ly-er"
-newer than the others.
-bigger bed
-when the heater works, it'll be really hot.
-bathroom and toilet are linked together. so you can do your business, then have a bath! lol
-lifts move way faster than Kowhaii


and i think that's all i can think of.

why i want to move into Kowhaii?
-big fridge
-room has drawers to put stuff in
-free laundry
-light switch near bed so you can tuck urself in and then turn off the lights.
-closed closet
-oven (for those who like to bake or cook food that requires baking)
-think the heater is easy
-i think there's more hooks
-closer to uni
-big living room
-flat has doorbell
-room is big
-there's a mirror in the room

the bads are pretty much the opposites of the goods of Hinau la. but yeah. u get the picture.

well i hope that helped. and anyone else who knows any other reasons for either side, feel free to comment! :)

i don't think you'd need to do laundry every week, so it's more like 4 bucks...a month? heh heh!

btw, what "room has drawers to put stuff in" are you talking abt? i don't remember seeing drawers..except the closet one.

eh, i need to do every week la. i can't wear the same clothes for 2 days in a row! :O

hahahaha. no la. it's cuz i run out of socks. so have to wash in a week. longer if i don't go out a.k.a don't wear shoes la.


and the 2nd part? u mean kowhaii right? kowhaii got drawers next to the bed la.

yo, which place would u recommend for me to stay at? am looking for a new place to move into as well..i guess, the most important quality i need is the internet..haha..that is if it comes with the place..if not the internet, door size is important, because i am a thin guy, and it is my form or security, because now my unit cant be robbed by fat ppl..haha..

hmm don't really think it's an unbiased view tho. so dunno if you should. like i think it's just my view, but dunno if everyone else agrees.

hehe. that's why we have "disclaimers" as you will see below.

what abt i take out the 'why i want to move to Kowhaii' part and only put the 'good' and 'bad' part ;)

but if you dun feel comfortable with it that's cool. won't put it up then :) though i do think it's a pretty good analysis of the rooms. esp the oven part. hehehe :p
