The life of a Corrailite (miniseries)

Sweet storyline and nice city!

Lovely work!

23 of June came. The house was quiet, all too quiet, however.



"This is the first time walking to the postbox carried so many emotions." The thoughts of Michael were swirling vigorously around his head. Today was the day he would receive the results of his various job applications.

He had expected the usual reply "Sorry but there are no available job slots open at this moment." or something like that. He got a real shock when he opened the letter.

10 jobs open. The best one paid $5500 a month.

"Wow... wow... Oh my god... Is it true, Michael? Pinch me..."



The family was now faced with a dilemma. Move to Highvale, or stay out of a job. The former was definitely a better option.

"People, we're moving to Highvale.

5500 a month! WOW Good job again!

nice downtown and good luck with the move!

Neat!

They arrived.

The HyperExpress went past the farmland of middle Corraile, the children gazing with awe and amazement at the farms whipping by. The train was going by its usual speed of around 315km/h, whisking them across the Corrailite Peninsula in less than an hour.

Michael had to leave the rest of the family in taking a look at their new home.



Michael found himself looking up a dizzying height of glass panels. The Comptabilite Mischel & Quimper Building was owned by the Lanayan Accounting Firm which the building is named after. He was accepted to the position of, well, an accountant.

Meanwhile...



No.29 Stewarden Road was occupied with a huge towering condominium, the tallest building around.

The family was to make do with a tiny apartment with just 2 rooms and a total floor space of only 980sq ft. It was what people called a "Mickey Mouse" apartment.

The family had to go shopping for essentials the next day. They marked out certain places they would go to:



The Ikea at midtown



As well as the Tesco not far away from the Ikea.

Shopping like that would be tiring, without a car or proper beds to rest at home.

You are doing a nice work with this series. I am an The life of a Corrailite fan!

Nice pics. Sounds like a rough first few days. Hopefully things smooth out more.

Nice emphasis on the key buildings.

Great job with PS to do this "in color" buildings and in black and white buildings

I love the way you present your updates with this storyline, nice work!

Great plot!

Days passed.



Many things happened over the few days. The family received their furniture (majority from Ikea) and began to settle in. The kids also felt welcome into the new urban environment they were immersed in.

Interviews left Michael tired and dull, yet full of anticipation like a little child at Christmas. Today, he was scheduled to go for one last interview.



The meeting went till evening.

"vous etes embauche"

"merci, merci."

And it ended well, spectacularly well, Michael thought, as he walked to the tram station for the commute home. The fact he was hired made him full of joy, with just one snag: speaking French everyday, a language he detested.

The next day brought great hope for the family, especially about better times ahead. Joanna set about for a new mission - Buying a car.



She set off for a few second-hand car delaers she had found on Google and went about looking for the best deal.

And she came out driving this:



That's a 2010 Toyota Yaris, for those who want to know



Meanwhile, something happened at the Bearingham High School, which would test the family's unity and togetherness...

Amazing series again! They bough an Yaris, I prefer a Range Rover. :!:

Nice job!

Cool! Sounds like things are coming together... at least until they go to the high school...

That is one weird looking Yaris. They look completely different in the UK.

Weord looking Yaris? haha, it's like that everywhere in North America European cars versions are weird

I prefer the British version. Made in England.

I prefer SUVs. It makes you look superior whenever you drive past a family car.

Lol. We don't have SUVs in England anymore.

, cuz a Hummer in Europe will destroy 2 blocks by passing in a road...



P.S. I hate SUV, they polluate too mutch. It only shows the "superiority of the driver", but when you see a little old woman driving a Hummer and in the car behind, a big guy who just get out from jail in a New Beattle...

What's a Hummer? :scratch:

()

This is a Hummer.

Yes, that Yaris is the same in Singapore too. We just call it the Vios
