Day 6

This entry is written by Chin Ee, Hee Juan's wife, for those who don't know.

Monday was a very relaxed day for us, as there wasn't any viewing of houses and we were practically 'stucked' as we haven't had any confirmed accommodation so we can't shop for white goods, furniture, etc. We decided to attend to administrative stuff, like applying for the Medicare card, and getting our Tax File No.

We actually went to the Tax Office to retrieve our old Tax File No, as we have forgotten ours. However, we were told that our old number has been deleted, so we need to apply for new one. Oh well, we decided to do it once we have a permanent address, it's not that urgent anyway.

Applying for Medicare card was pretty straightforward. Only need to show them our passport and fill up a form, and voila, we have access to near 'free' health care!

We went to test out a 1996 Camry from a private seller in the afternoon. After testing, we realised that wasn't the optimum buy, because of the tinted window (shabbily done, thus affected vision), and the small side mirror. Call us fussy, but that certainly wasn't worth A$7100. Maybe if it was knocked down to A$6000. Fat hope, I think. Anyway, because we were near Springvale, we decided to revisit the vietnamese restaurant where we had the most amazing chilli crab for dinner. When we reached there, we couldn't find it, and can't remember where exactly it was, so we just settled down in this Vietnamese place for simple dinner. Turned out to be not bad. The thing here with the restaurant or any eatery you go to, you don't have to use your own tissue! Even the stalls in the food court will provide you with at least a piece of servette! How nice is that? Unheard of in Singapore.

Took a slow and relax drive back to the city and had an early night.
