There are not enough words in my dictionary for MOVING since I was young, moving is like part of my life and I adapt to this part pretty quickly. No, no, it is not moving with family like how you used to hear. Moving in my dictionary is moving by myself to another region (hoping to another country someday) and living for good.


As I mentioned before, I have moved for exactly 5th time in one region in Purwakarta since 2015 until recently in June 2023, here is my story about this. Not to mention since I was young I moved to other regions like 5 regions since high school. However, I begin my journey this time to move again for good to my own lovely home starting in July 2023. There is a funny story behind this though, gonna tell you here:


I was leasing a house and have been living there since January 2022, however, in May there was an unfaithful moment when my car got bitten by a mouse! And it happened not only once or two but almost 4 times. So, my housemate and I decided to move to another house with only 2 days' preparation because our hearts couldn't stay calm during the night, worrying about tomorrow morning hoping my car to not get bitten by a mouse again and again. We moved on June 20 into the new rented house to avoid the mice because I am sick of them biting my car cable again and again. We lived there until I got an invitation from my house developer for a handover because finally, my new house finished after I bought it last January 2023.


Actually, the handover is on July 10 however I changed the date to July 15 because I want my parents to come together with me to celebrate it together. My parent came to my rented house on July 14, in total There are 8 people and 2 of us in the house, 10 people. I have taken permission from the house owner regarding the arrival of my parent, and they said there is no problem for them to come in. As well as my housemate asked permission again to them, so both of us have asked permission. We hoped they would give my parents at least a smile since their hometown is the same as mine, but their reaction was the opposite.


I was tired, so my housemate and I didn't really want to think about how they treated my parents. We just need to treat my parents with good. So for 2 days and 2 nights, we were busy cooking and treating them with our best. On the last day, my parent went back to their hometown, just a minute after they left my rental house, the house owner suddenly texted me and asked us to always turn the light on. I was wondering why he texted me like this when our lights were all on. Then I realized that yesterday we turned our front light off from 22.00 until morning because I was sleeping outside. At the same time, the homeowner made noise from 22.30 until 00.30 like heating their car, washing their car, and turning their light into our rented house making us angry because of the noise he made.


So I texted him back asking them to forgive and understand our position last night because the house couldn't accommodate the 10 of us, therefore, my housemate, I, and my brother slept outside and turned off the light for us to sleep. My housemate and I were so tired at that time, so we decided to archive their text and rest. However, the next morning at 5.30 AM my housemate told me and showed me her message from the house owner, the house owner asked us to move out of their house in a maximum of 8 days. LOL.


Just because of the light we turn off at 22.00 until morning one time, that's so funny and immature for someone aged 50++. My housemate and I just laughed and were angry and laughed and we didn't know how to express ourselves because it was mixed feelings from tiredness angriness funnyness. So I replied to his text in the afternoon and showed him who was the winner actually on his immature reaction. 


"Yes, we also plan to move from this house, fortunately, my new house is also finished since last week. Thank you for having us in your house for only a month."


Done! He texts me back but I don't care and I don't want to read or see his text anymore, I archive and then delete his text, and I don't want to say hello to him anymore since that day. I am so hurtful of how he acted like this when my parents were there, that's so unforgivable.


Actually yes we both want to move out after a week in this rented house, the owner is very fussy, too protective, and gives uncomfortable vibes to us. However, we both decided to move for one more month because our bodies were still recovering from the previous move. But, in the end, we need to thank him for making us move as fast as possible, that's a way to not see their uncomfortable face every day.


I decided to move into my new house and my housemate moved to another rent in the same region. Because it's pretty far from the company if she rides by motorcycle if she moves to my house. Actually, it is also a good time for us to part after 6 years of living together in Purwakarta. She has a boyfriend and needs more private time, and I need to focus on myself after 2 breakups I faced in the past year. Also, my age has reached 32 years old and I need more space for myself and to develop myself to be a better person.


So we were busy for a week after the forced to move out, My housemate looking to rent a house, and I was busy looking for someone to help us move, and someone to put a curtain on my house because my house is very open with lots of see-through glass like this picture:



I just want someone unable to see me inside the house, therefore I chose someone who can put silver tinted windows with 80% darkness to my glass window. It was overpriced though, but I didn't have a choice because I need it fast only 2 days until I move. The result is disappointing though because the work he did is not tidy and there are holes in some parts, when I need his explanation a lot of excuses were made to make me believe and not wanting him to change the tinted window. I wanted him to change it though, of course, the price was high enough to make me disappointed with his unprofessional work. But then I was too tired to argue because it was done on the day I moved in. I still haven't contacted him to change the silver dark tinted windows. Maybe, I will just let it be like that since I don't want to face him anymore.


On July 22, exactly a month ago, My housemate and I finally moved, and part-ways, we didn't want to talk to the house owner even though they were so curious about where we would be. I avoid them as well as my housemate, so they ask the people who help us to move many questions about us and our place. After we finish, we just give them the key and leave without answering their fake apology. I also didn't read their text since July 17 after my counter-attack and deleted his message without looking back. We were hurt by their reaction after my parent lived there for 2 days. And so funny that they never told us about such rules when we first moved there. But when we finally in their house, there were so many "sudden" rules which were suddenly thrown at us. That was a very bad experience.

I have rented a house or room since I was 17 years old, but none of them gave such an attitude to me. But this time it is a very bad experience, my suggestion is, if you are not ready to rent your house to others, just don't. If you are ready to rent them, and they ask you the rule you should answer it and give the rule beforehand. Not all of sudden like this owner gave to us. Be clear ahead of their moving, if there is a mistake give them a chance. How come only one sudden rule you ask someone out of your house? It's not like we didn't pay for your house though, we pay it fully! The reason why 22.00 until morning on Saturday night we turned off the light is because we slept outside you asked us out of your house is VERY ODD!


So that is the end of this funny moving story. Let's move to the next story:


I drove to my new house and after we finished moving in, the night came and I could see that the silver-tinted window was only able to cover my house in the daytime. At night, the tinted window is see-through, so I need to put a curtain on my house. However I don't have time to think about it on my moving day, so I just sleep in a room where nobody can't see me from outside. Also, I cover my glass with some boxes for the time being, until I can find a way to cover my glass with something inexpensive.


There are 2 people who offered me to put a curtain with their custom curtain, the price is pretty high though because there are 6 points which needed to be covered with a curtain and the total meters is 16 or 26 meters, fiuh. So, a week after I moved in, I bought the curtain by myself and put it in by myself as well, which reduced by 70% the cost of the custom curtain maker. But yeah it is less pretty than the custom one, but who cares as long as I can cover my private place first, I can change it later when I have money, my priority right now is to protect my house from the outside first.


There are so many things to be filled in the house, at first my mind was so busy thinking how to fill it until my migraine recurrence. So I change my strategy and put myself first which is to fill my house slowly. The super priority one has been done, so there is no rush on other things. Well, that's my plan, because, a week after the curtain, I bought a kitchen set and refrigerator too hahaha. But that's also a priority, right? If not, I can't cook meals for myself. I also bought 3 pcs of cabinet from Ikea because I only have one cabinet at the moment. Without this, I don't know where to put my clothes to. Of course, I had a cabinet and refrigerator before, but when I moved on June 20, I gave it all to my cousin. I need a new touch in my house and my old furniture (since 2015) is unable to fulfill my needs anymore.








Moving is indeed so tiring, even though it has been a month since I moved to my new house, my stuff is still in a mess, and I still haven't finished tidying up everything, probably only 65-70% done. If someone asks me to move again, I would probably think 10 times before saying Yes or No. I am at the age of settling up, so ready to settle not only in the house but also in a different term, also I am not as adventurous as before. Yes, I am still adventurous in my liking like travel and nature, there will be not enough time for me to be adventurous on this, but for moving to another place I need time to think. If it is not worth it I will not take the risk, but if this is worth it, why not? Depend on the situation and the person who asks me hehe.


However, I hope this is my last move in this country, and if I have the chance to move again, I hope it will be to another country. Whether for studying or working or married, anything, as long as it is giving me a happy feeling. And of course, I hope it will be with someone I love and a partner who loves and cares for me back. There is no shame in dreaming and wishing something good to happen to our lives right? Then, how about you? How many times have you moved? Where?
