Am so very tired this morning when i got up from bed. Been busy painting the doors & door frames of our new nest yesterday. Lucky that i've my meimei there to help me tru out the whole painting process. Daddy & bro is in charge of putting the lightnings up for me while laling cleans the toilet piping. I still thought ytd can also paint the piping de, im too navie lorr cos by the time mei & i finsh the 3 rooms door & door frame it is alrd 8pm!!! We started painting at around 1.30pm ... Time reali pass very quickly when u're busy ~ LOL
Laling went out to buy dinner in the evening. An unexpected rain came by & daddy took this chance to climb out of the window to wash the air-con compresser for me. So sweet of him rite !!! Heeee ~ who ask him to dote me *arbish i know i buay paisey =x
After daddy finish helping, he went home 1st. So left laling, mei & i there painting. Laling say he wanna paint the store room door too as the previous owner like to stick papers on it so the door become very ugly. The old paint look as if they're going to drop off anytime so laling paint that door as well. We finish up everything at ard 8plus, everyone is very tired. So we quickly send mei home, fetch baobei at the same time then home sweet home ...

Nippon painters are really great, they manage to finish the painting in 1 day. Laling & i went over to Segar in the morning to open the door for the painters to come in, that is around 9am. The foreman says he'll call us in the evening to let us know whether can they finish the job today. So we left & head down to bangkit to pay the S&C, its quite a big difference staying in 5 rm & 4 rm as the S&C amount difference is more than 10bucks a month!! We also arrange to mit the property agent there to pass them their commission.

After what seems like forever, we finally take over our new flat today. Went over to Segar to collect our keys from the previous owner at 12.30pm. Chat with them for awhile then we start to carry some stuffs up. We intend to change the main door lock & lightnings of the whole house, also to take the measurement of the curtains so that we can custom made a new set. The toilets pipe are having some water leaking problem so we'll also change the pipe ... ...
Went to Bangkit to have lunch & buy thoses things that we need, also to get fruits & our praying items. From there we drive back to Segar to start preparing the praying thing. Daddy help to pray as my 'aunty' came to visit thats why not so convenient. Happy to say that the neighbours at our level are very friendly, so are their kids. We did a short intro with them ...
Went back to mummy's place for laling to take a bath, then we head to jurong east to have dinner & purchase our new flat living room lightning. From there mummy bring baobei back to her place while laling & i went home. Tml early morning we had to travel to Segar to open the door & let the painters do their jobs & we have to change address for some of our personal letters ... From today onwards, im gotta be very very busy ... ...
HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY TO DILLON FOONG !!! Our baobei turns 5 yrs old today!! Its really a day to remember for life, the day laling & i become proud parents. Although its been 5 yrs but i can still remember very very clearly what happen 5 yrs ago on this very day. How my contractions start .. how we drive to the hospital .. how long later then was i pushed into the delivery suite ... how pain i am ... and finally how he came into this world. Although the orderal is painful & tired but whenever i recall back my face will always lit up with a big smile ~
This evening we'll bring baobei to jurong point Crystal Jade to have dinner with SIL & bf. Then home to blow his 5 candles on his birthday cake =)
A week after laling's birthday dinner, its baobei's turn to have his own birthday dinner today. Becos his actual day also falls on a weekday so we will be having the dinner this evening at Turf City. After searching for quite sometime for the Marina South steamboat BBQ buffet, i finally found out where has it shifted to. The answer as i've mention above, they've shifted to Turf City!! Its alot nearer to us than before. So i jio my family to have baobei's birthday dinner there, at least its something new to them as they seldom had steamboat buffet outside.
Laling is on his standby this week, so hopefully NO calls will come when we're having dinner, else its really mood spoilter. 8 adults & 1 child total cost for the steamboat dinner is $153. Im paying for the dinner as i know mum will find this expensive & even though im paying, angbaos from grandmum, uncle & mummy will help cover most of the dinner expenses. We had an enjoyable dinner & lucky enough no call outs are been activitated!! LOL ~
Now let the photos do the telling on how we enjoy our dinner ^.^
As the days pass, the date of us getting over our new nest is simply exciting & happy. We'll be getting the keys from the previous owner on the 16th (next sun), painters will start work the next day (17th). On the same day, the air con guy will be coming up to service the air-cons. Then on the 19th, contractors will be going up to change the toilets door, we're changing both the master & common toilet door. Plus we're installing a full width mirror in our master toilet, hehe. Oh almost forgot, and laling's wall fan in the common toilet. He says its alot more shiok to 'bake' cake with the fan on =X
After the big & heavy stuffs are settle, i'll start to paint the room doors & also the main door vanishing. All these we didnt include in the Nippon packages as i find it a waste of money. $45 per room door/door frame, $45 for main door vanishing nia .. might as well i paint it myself. Save $$$
On the 29th, laling will rent a lorry & we'll start to shift our stuffs over to our new nest. Laling has alrd confirm a week's leave to do the shifting. So we'll use this whole week to shift our things. Lastly, on the 5th dec we'll offically move in to our new, cosy nest !!! Im so anxious & excited !!!
Had an advance birthday dinner/celebration for laling as his actual day falls on a weekday. In the noon, we brought baobei over to mummy's place then we drive to our new flat, Segar. We are meeting the Nippon sales representative to discuss about the painting job that is starting on the 17th. Spend about an hour or so there then we left, head to BPP for lunch with laling, sister-in-law & her bf.
SIL bought a birthday cake for laling at Four Season Bakery, she & her bf will be joining us for dinner later so we went up to mum's place together. Everything is fine until MIL call to stir trouble, ever since her house finish renovation she has been finding fault with the house every other day. Always worry that the cabinet's handle will drop out if hold too tightly la, afraid that the tiles will cut her legs la (their house DUN USED to have tiles for the past 30something years) so to her tiles are very sharp & scary. She also scare that if put too many things into the cabinet will the cabinet collapse? The aircon compresser holder y dun have screw together with the compresser, then what if the compresser tumble & drop down etc etc .... All of us are abt to go crazy with all her stupid & unreasonable ideas.
Ok, back to the happi moments. In the evening, we went to have dinner but before that we cut the cake at mum's place. After dinner, mum, my uncle, SIL & her bf came up to play mahjong for the night. This will be our last mahjong game here as we're shifting next month !!! ^.^
