At New Home... finally

After a long wait for about 2 years, house is finally ready. All the fancy ideas on how to renovate the house were put into action. Don't misunderstand. It is like I am remodelling the whole house. Just to make it a bit more comfortable to live in. After all, I am a simple creature... a creature that only wanted things to be easy to clean, simple and not too overcrowding... even so, I spent bomb on the things... well, things are just not cheap these days.

Moving was a terrible ordeal. You have no idea. After living in the old place for about 10 years and with the furnitures and stuffs accumulated for almost 30 years (things from grandma to my mother and to me), I took one week working day and night to just trying to sort things out and PACK! And worst of all I think I don't have enough boxes...! At this point of time, my brain have to turn a wheel faster... and I recycle the boxes. I moved the loaded ones to the new place, unpacked and move back the empty boxes to reload.... now you understand why I can finish my moving in 1 lorry leh....

It is not a bad idea though... because, I spend lesser time to unpack the things one by one after official moving in.... so not too bad, but the process is really really gruesome... and it cost me 500 bucks to move things to new house with lorry and also to throw away all the old furnitures... but happy all of it was done.

So now, have been in the new place for 3 months already. Still a number of resident not moving in. My neighbours, opposite are 2 chinese families, and the one next to me is Malay I guess, but i have not seen them moving in officially yet.

Now going to work is slightly nearer compared to old times, going to Jusco also nearer .. hehehe. That is a good start.
