An update of my cleaning as we seek to be able to move in tomorw, or shd I say today? 23rd Sep..

Me super duper tired but waiting for hubby BrownMse nw, so meanwhile I will post up picture of what I took tdy, in order of timeline....

Ikea guys supposed to come at nite but they calld at 9am to ask if they cld come at 10am to install. Rushed dwn to the hse n BrownMse bght chicken rice for my breakfast + lunch.

Realised dat the top-cabinet lights r useful for quick eating at solidtop, n the stools came in useful too.

Meanwhile, as ikea uncle starts to drill at abt 10am+, me n BrownMse start to clean, mop n unwrap our furniture..

TV console frm Evovliving, seems to haf a problem with the front flap-dwn panel....

Coffee TV frm Cellini

Our simple living rm

wow so nice.. looks good. yr contractor/.ID look like doing a good job

Thanks mint!! Its a contractor who did my hse renos...no ID la, cldnt afford

Bght this frm Songcho....guess where this item is installed?

The answer--btw wall n washing machine

Bght a plastic bag holder frm Ikea, found a spcae abv dryer to put it...

By after lunch-hr (abt 4hrs), uncle frm ikea finally finished, very professional too!!

Could never have done it myself.....

Front view of cabinets

By then, me n Brownmse was sooo tired we decided to take a break....

Picture of the 4 power swicthes dat hubby BrownMse insists to be on the wall, not hidden by TV console. Been nagging at him but he's just playing computer games nw. Therefore, Im gonna publicise my complaint by blogging it dwn.

Best way to clean a newly renovated hse---clean n push everything dirty to the door, as shown in picture below.

Last picture, taken by Brownmse. Will have a plant there....

Will be updating again when I move in officially n get internet access. Applied to Starhub tdy, but seems that they wan us to prove dat we bght the flat lastyr....why siah??? dun udnerstand why got this stoopid rule neh.......customer scvs officer told us cld b activated tdy, den we tried but cldnt even access cable TV....

sobs!

wow with the furniture in your place looks even more

hi greycat

todae is ur hse moving day.. hope everything'll be smooth for u!

yup i'll post my layout when i get it

happy moving...!!

Hihi apple, thks!

dunno le...Starhub askd us to prove dat we just bght the hse lastyr in order tyo switch on the signal. Its a new hse but built abt 6yrs ago liao...hafnt tried my internet but cable confirm weekend den can...

Thks Ah kiat n piggie!

Well, not everything went right, I had a fall in front of my front door, minutes after moving in due to wet floor (guess who mopped the floor?)...

den hor, the lights tripped 4 times after the move-in ceremony where we supposed to switch on ALL the lights in the hse. Will be getting my electrician to come back n check 1 by 1....its overloaded nw, but it never occured during renos as we didnt switch on ALL lights at 1 go....

Advice to all new home-owners, b4 handover, switch on ALL lights for 10 mins n check if anything trips...

oh did u injure urself from the fall? alright ma?

the workers mopped the floor for u? or ur hb? hehe

i'll take note of the tip for the lights!

so u're officially staying there le ma? or only staying in after AD?

Hi Greycat,

Every single trip Starhub come down to turn on the signal need to pay ard $20, so u can jus have to produce ur documents to prove that u guy jus bght the unit and they will waive off the fees.

Happy Moving in Too!
