House #16 Jurong East HDB

I often wonder if i am being too picky, fussy or simply unrealistic. Renting a place is much tougher than i had imagined. I always thought there'd be a house suitable for us but well, after seeing over 15 apartments, there was only 1 - Mackenzie 138 that we really liked, but unfortunately we got outbidded.

I share the pics for Apt #16. This 1 attracted me becoz of the cheap rental. The landlord agent upsold the apartment, telling us that the furnishing was "designer" and deco is really good. Maybe this upped my expecations & i was really expecting something really NICE. Well, all i can say is that apart from disappointment, i am pretty numb to the interiors. When the landlord agent kept repeating & praising the unit, i really couldn't bring myself to agree with the "Stylish" interiors as described. HONESTLY, the interiors are pretty well-maintained, considering that renovations were done 10yrs ago.

So, i suppose it's all abt expectations. My parents keep chanting that if u are just gonna stay for a yr, then u'd have to expect bare furnishing for a rented apartment. I don't know... Disappointment just clouds over me, all due to the overpromise & upselling. Maybe that's why i can't seem to agree that for $1,800, this's a gd deal.
