阿Rac告別了羅便臣道的日子後,原本「大安旨意」等搬入新界區新居,怎料殺出個「程咬金」來!
阿Rac的新包租公是他的朋友,正所謂:「出外靠朋友嘛」。阿Rac總受到朋友的眷顧關照。朋友剛在新界區買了個住宅單位作投資保值,準備出租。並巧阿Rac要地方住,兩人一拍即合。
兩人達成雙贏協議:朋友報稅時填寫該物業非作租住用途,便可節省要交的稅款。阿Rac不須簽任何租務合約,換來付出較市面低少少的租金。雙方講個信字,阿Rac會定期交租,朋友又唔使擔心租出給「霸王租客」,一家便宜兩家著。
正當阿Rac致電「迷你倉」約期搬運家當前,收到朋友「叫停」的消息!嚇了阿Rac一跳。原來朋友發現那單位有defects,幾需要找師傅執漏,需時一個月喎!咁大鑊?阿Rac又要搵樓搬啦。
既然落得山腳就返唔上半山啦,阿Rac上網找services apartment可供暫住一個月,最後選了銅鑼灣某「服務住宅」,月租一萬元,二百尺,唉~ 香港租金真係貴到飛起呀!
上去望吓,嘩!其實只係「高級劏房」:狹窄小房間、小廁所加書桌一張,14吋電視機,小雪櫃唔夠凍,鄰房都是大陸人。跟「羅便臣道的日子」天淵之別!唉~ 有咁耐風流就有咁耐折墮。
最攞命的地方就是這裡的 Wi-Fi 訊號很弱,時有時無。向租務處反映過,可惜整過Router都係咁,好彩還有3G手機可以上網。
雖然房間乏善可陳,便地點就不得不讚!步行5分鐘便到港鐵站,吃喝玩樂都在彈指之間。不是購物狂的Rac不愛逛商場,不過渣甸街的食店就開正佢嗰範,日日都幫襯唔同食店。
最最最抵讚的地方:就是步行幾分鐘便到達利舞台的健身室,運動沖涼洗頭後,行幾步便回到房間。和「羅便臣道的日子」相比,這裡真是方便到不得了!
這裡的交通更是四通八達,就算幾夜回家,街上都有人氣,「不夜天」名不虛傳。半夜三更落街宵夜都有食店開門。霓虹燈的光度照到街頭如日間。跟「羅便臣道」晚上「靜英英、人影都無個」兩走極端。
半山像個高傲有修養的專業人士,銅鑼灣像個愛熱鬧貪玩的享樂主義者。阿Rac兩者都短暫住過了,兩者都各有優點和缺點,一冷一熱。阿Rac都叫住過啦,迎接下次真正的settle down。
後記:當阿Rac一搬離羅便臣道後,中環的california健身室便開張,激死阿Rac!阿Rac去了中環新健身室一趟,面積細過中環舊店幾倍,香港商務租金高昂的另一鐵証。

I love the nightlife - Alicia Bridges
Please don't talk about love tonight.
Please don't talk about sweet love.
Please don't talk about being true
and all the trouble we've been through.
Ah, please don't talk about all of the plans
we had for fixin' this broken romance.
I want to go where the people dance.
I want some action ... I want to live!
Action ... I got so much to give.
I want to give it. I want to get some too.
Oh, I ... Ohhh I ... I love the nightlife,
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.
Oh, I love the night life,
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.
Please don't talk about love tonight.
Your sweet talking won't make it right.
Love and lies just bring me down
when you've got women all over town.
You can love them all and when you're through,
maybe that'll make, huh, a man out of you.
