Next monday, my contractor pactrick will do the handover. :notti:

Meanwhile, he did another round of chemical washing. Should be the third time he is doing it. :unsure:

Called my fengshui shifu this afternoon to get 'move in' date. Finalise to be on 7th May (monday). Can start moving things in from that day onwards.

Finally, 1 major thing settled. Can have more time concentrating on hotels hunting. :good:

alamak i tell u i cuckoo lor!

i was confused with yr lighting shop and bubblepearl's lighting shop.

she bought hers at edison lighting house.

but then i went today to singapore lighting mart (yr one) thinking its where she bought.

HENG, i go in nv ask for tony (e guy whom served her) can!

still tell my ID say that i met a forummer whom bought a very nice light at singapore lighting mart and overall lighting cost only $1100, somemore svc super good, same day deliver and exchange.

when i asked the price for the similar light at singapore lighting mart, it cost $1600!

then my ID still ask me, sure correct shop anot? i still proudly say 'YES, maybe she got another design but looks similar!'

hahaha.. stupid me..

i oso hope so there, if they have a station there BEST liao! very convenient!! i gg to stay long long time so not too concern abt value now. but hope it wun be too noisy or dusty when they r doing it.

the swimming pool i tink shld be soon.

got a colleague whom is active in the Residents Committee and he stays at senja so he say shld be soon le.

reno already abt $50k so another $20k for furniture, appliances and furnishings lor. hoping it will be real good too, its like my 2 yrs salary lor.

can understand, u still have to save for the marriage, at least i'm over that. marriage costs a lot - photo, dinner, ang baos. but high chance dinner can recoup la. i know of couples make a lot of money out of dinner lei, honeymoon fully paid for by the ang baos!

but parents bugging me to have another kid, i say no money, all my current savings and future money (loan) is on the house already.
