After months of planning and looking around for the right place (hope it is, he he he), we finally got our keys of our flat last 7th November 2005. After working hard in Singapore for almost 5 years now, we could say at last we have our own house. I am glad that finally we decided to buy our own flat here in Singapore after renting a condo unit for quite sometime. I consider this as a reward for us.
Last Monday, 14th November our contractor started the renovation. I am excited and at the same time anxious on how our flat would look like. We really wanted to move-in before 19th of December so we can celebrate Albert’s 1st Christmas and New Year in our new home.
Last Saturday 26th November 2005, we will finally saw what happened on the 1st week of renovation. So far, the renovation is on schedule, contractor managed to finish the piping, electrical, tiling for the living and dining area and L-box. Then our anxiety came back again because we ordered an L-shaped sofa which is larger from the allocated space for our living room. We can’t cancel it because it has already been shipped when we noticed it was too big for our living room. We had a wrong calculation. We didn’t allot space for the curtain railings. What we did was really a wrong mistake he he he! Our passage area now would only be half a meter. Hope it won’t be not that bad L.
After attending the Sunday mass, we went to Hoe Kee Hardware to buy some bathroom and kitchen mixers, shower heads, bathroom fittings and accessories.
Tomorrow, we are planning to view (again) the improvements of the renovation. On the work plan, they’re supposed to finish the aircon piping and bedroom floor. Then we will finalize our curtain and shop for our new kitchen utensils, dining wares and accessories. We’re planning to shop at Ikea. I hope that we can get big deal there!
