Update June - July

Finally, finally and finally. I guess I was alittle late to blog about it now since me and hubby have already moved in to our new house. Earlier this month on the 18th of July, as early as 7am, both me and hubby made the simple "auspicious" move in thingie. Nothing grand, no roast pork or burning of fire crackers.. just the 2 of us with a few bags of belongings. We enter the house as proud owners.

Since we have been bugging our contractor non-stop to finish the house up in time for us to clean the house before hand and move in on the 18th July, we only manage to officially "get" the house still partially un-done (with bits and pieces here and there, but nothing major) on Friday 17th July. 7.5 weeks have gone into renovating the house that not a single day we find it easy to just let go and have a peace of mind. Am really glad all this nightmare is over. However, before I can really call my home a "HOME", the nightmare still continues even after we moved in.

As we happily go on with our cleaning chores, we found that our common toilet accessories are turning rusty, despite the fact that the material is meant for "wet" conditions. Lucky us, they are only from Ikea and does not cost a bomb ( besides, we went back to Ikea to have them changed). Imagine having your stuffs rusting away before you even get a chance to use them? It's horrible. One part of our wash basin's pipe was so rusty, it seems like it has been used for the last 10+yrs. Apparently, the cleaners used some sort of strong chemical wash in the toilet that they also wear away the steel and made them rusty.

Of all the mishaps that we have with the house, we are glad that the house is a calm and serene place where we rest at night. The silence is so quiet, the sound of cricket fills the area, giving you the feeling that you are at some remote area away from the hustle and bustle. A quiet serenity oasis.

The house is not that ready to receive guest, but it won't be too far either. Will try to post up some pics in Facebook soon as my com just crashed earlier this week.
