    Mr Merry: Long overdue update!

    Open net came and activated the connection and apparently it was quite a good reception compared to the average. WOHOO! Now im waiting for myrepublic this weekend.

    We moved in now for roughly a week plus and while there are quite alot of knicks n knacks missing still, all the general essentials are there already. In fact my most major problem is waking up every morning from the super comfortable bed and leaving my beautiful house in the morning.

    pardon the messiness lol.

    We realised the ikea rugs are not very good at soaking in water, and we are only surviving on 2 bowls 3 plates and 2 rice bowls at the moment!

    Loving our washer now. we do silly things like sitting in front of the washer and just get mesmerised by the hypnotising swirling.. lol

    Finally.. the clock finally came! its much bigger than what we imagined and so we had to put it on top of the fridge for the time being... ( we are suspecting it will be there permanently..)

    All in all, its a amazing place we go back to every night. We feel we are not getting enough of it every day, and every morning i cant bear to leave my place. There are still alot of missing items still such as bed side tables and sofa side tables, tv consoles.. but still these are minor stuff we will solve as time goes by. While the lack of internet is killing us, it does forces us to sit down and watch local free to air tv, something which i haven watched for very long time. its a wonderful experience so far and it has truely our little nest.

    The wall is actually a fake re enforced extension of about 3-4 inches so can throw the wires into a hole behind and come out a opening below. Don't really want any feature wall or fancy designs as I'm scared I'll get sick of any patterns so stucked to clean milk white walls.

    To be frank I'm still in transit about moving to a new place and it probably haven sunk in yet with all the activities n cleaning going about I haven had the time to sit at the sofa n just let it sink in.

    in the meanwhile it's so painful there's no internet now for another week or so. :(

    A good king sized mattress is great! Plenty personal space to rest well and not disturbed when your partner moves during her/his sleep. So love Serta Willow Spring mattress !!

    We moved in officially last Thursday as per FSM instructions. Our relocation moving was done last Saturday. We engaged The Helping Hands - paid $350 for their services. They came with 4 people extremely friendly and efficient ! Would recommend their service and doing good for society too!

    I wish the dust disappears too!! It was a windy afternoon; so I opened the windows wider- usually we kept at 45 degree angle opened only: today I opened it at 60 degree angle to let in more wind for a lazy Sunday afternoon - result -> the just vacuumed and mopped floor is layered with dust within less than an hr. Ugh!!'

    Mr merry here.

    it's actually kinda fun to vaccuumm n mop. There's a sense if satisfaction that every time u do that it gets more streamlined n the house is getting cleaner. Things are slowly being slotted into their destined places lol.

    slowly becoming a home :)

    Makanology- tell me about it...

    Our estate is like ever building new BTOs. The floor still feel very dusty after each day. I have one right opposite our master bedroom and plenty (like at least 10) viewable from our yard. Hai..

    Lucky mr merry is more efficient in unpacking and setting the house in order. :) Next is accessorize the home and setting the rhyme - cleaning, ironing, washing, vaccumming, mopping and many more. Even glass window panels are all not cleaned yet execept living room. Lol

    Tmr is the start of another work week. It will be another new experience. Be blessed that we are healthy individuals where we can labour for our home. A great Sunday everyone! :D

    Pardon our slow reply as wifi not yet available in the new house yet. And we have busy unpacking the house - fatigue slowly seeping in. Urgh! All clothes yet to be unpacked. Still living within our suitcases. Haha

    For the lights, perhaps you can call them to enquire? http://www.aeonlighting.com/en/index.aspx

    From what I know, we are amongst the first few households to installed the lights. And we really love how the color temperature it spread within our home. Till now, we have gotten the reality sink in that's its our home and not a weekend pretty apartment.

    As I typed, gentle breezes flowing in; easing my anxiety on financials as we build up the home. Beautiful homes and dream doesn't come cheap, but it's possible. :D

    Hello mr merry! How's your place coming along? World Farm is at 15 Bah Soon Pah Road, I not sure how to get there, HTB drive i just happily snooze in the car. Its got alot alot of plants and stuff, and its not expensive, I think it distributes plants to other shops as well. I wanted to buy EVERY tree/plant... couldn't decide. Only thing is, I feel that pots are expensive, but then.. I guess pots are expensive everywhere.

    pots are..cheap on taobao :notti: and a whole lot of variety on amazon. My place is coming along well! Soon to reach the stage to accessorise with lotsa green n such.

    Woah!!! Time flies and it is more than 1 month into my Reno... All the floor tiles are done. Now need to wait for the electrical and plumbing works to start...

    The problematic cement floor tiles in the kitchen are up and nightmare has just begun. The tiler uncle asked us: " why use this type of peranankan tiles? Use it as wall tiles are good but for floor tiles... Hmmmm... Hard to maintain... Furthermore, you choose white color base type.. The effect is nice"

    image-22.jpg

    The concrete base is up too!!! With my blanco sink sitting proudly in it... The tiler uncle: " why do you choose to do a concrete top? I have not been doing this for the last 20+ years..." Hehe... Luckily, the color of the tiles we chose for the concrete top march with the cement screed wall...
