real estate agents are fake fucking cunts / rough patch
1. I left Melbourne at the end of November 2007. Despite the fact that I love the place I left for the promise of a high soaring career in Malaysia.
2. I cut short my break as I was called to start work just barely 2 weeks after I returned to Malaysia.
3. Got promoted to a Design Architect post in a prominent firm after 3 months. I was put in charge a multi-million project. I was being groomed.
4. Started to feel empty despite flying high on success.
5. Had my own partnership on the side running, working on pet projects. First house commission.
6. Returned to Melbourne in April 2008 for my graduating. Within the weekend came to the realisation that Melbourne is home.
7. Made all needed arrangements and applied for my Permenant Residency at the end of May 2008.
8. Tendered my resignation at the end of July in anticipation of my Permenant Residency approval which normally takes about 8 months from date of application. Wanted to tie up all loose ends in my partnership. House commision was well into construction.
9. The GLC hit hard. All private jobs got canned except the house and 2 other which were in preliminary design stage.
10. House was completed in September. It was indeed good with very happy clients. Lost 2/3 of my money due to crashing commodities stocks.
11. Lost my final project in November. My bank account balance looked miserable without any income.
12. Last bit of savings left. No news on my Permenant Residency application. Decided to make my move to Singapore as an alternative in December 2008.
13. Although my contract was signed in Decemeber for the the office in Singapore, my work permit ran into difficulties. Had to reappeal.
14. Got my work permit a month later with literally no savings left.
15. Australian Immigration introduced piority processing for all Permenant Residency applications. My application got frozen.
16. Work in Singapore was bad. 4 out of 5 days a week I come home past midnight. 3 out of 4 weeks I work on both weekends. Non of the extra hours were paid for. I knew I would not be able to stay for long.
17. An incident in the office triggered my resignation in May 2009 and my return to Melbourne as a post graduate student in order to remain in Australia.
18. Found a part time job in Melbourne in August 2009.
19. Got a car in December 2009.
20. Car was running into heaps of issues.
21. Met my girlfriend at a dinner with a bunch of medical interns.
22. Had private jobs. A few went ahead and got completed and a few did not.
23. Office started having cash flow issues in mid February 2010
24. Got it going with my girlfriend. She's a wonderful person.
25. Had to sell the car as impending repairs were too costly. I got jipped by the dealer as it came with a blown gasket amongst other issues.
26. Office stopped paying due to cash flow issues.
27. Started to look for a place to rent in June 2010, least on current apartment will end in July 2010 and married housemates moving out.
28. Saw a place I like and was told to put an application in by Monday.
29. Drove up to Mildura on Sunday as girlfriend got posted there for her rotation.
30. Flew back on Monday to find out that I missed the application. Agent forgot to mention that it was due by 10 am. Only offered an appology and nothing more.
31. Saw another place a week later which I liked. Put in an application with an extra $10 per week. Called twice and was told my application was looking good.
32. Received an Sms moments ago telling me that my application was unsuccessful. I need to move out in less than 2 weeks.
