It's been awhile since my last entry huh.. because there is no internet connection in my new house then! Anyway I didn't have the time to do much if there was, too busy clearing, unpacking & doing housework. Haha, heard it right? - HOUSEWORK - yes! From a pampered AMK girl who literally did not have to lift her fingers on most of the housework then to Yishun wife making sure the house is free from dust. Transformation completed. Haha

Things have been going pretty well so far, most of the basic furnishings are in except my TV console. Don't intend to spend too much on that so will be scouting for it slowly, until something within our budget attracts me. Went to those neighbourhood furniture shops but NONE captures my liking!! Haha actually I was pretty much eyeing on Ikea's FRIEL series BUT it's out of stock! Supposed to be in end of October, now delayed 1 month later - I'll wait patiently for it.

Oh ya talking about internet connection, we have signed up for Starhub max-online package which includes unlimited cable connection, digital voice-over (free ALL local outgoing & incoming calls till next year end) , Motorola modem & Linksys wireless router, for only S$55.80/mth! Quite a good deal right?? There's another promotion which throw in free Samsung 2GB mp3 player but excludes wireless router and you'll have to top up additional S$80+ for the voice-over. I am not hard up for any mp3 player for now and I don't find it justificable for the top up, so went ahead with my current one..

So all friends out there, please take note - I'll be using my home phone to call out more often. So please contact me for my house no. Haha =)

Finally!! This is the day I've been waiting for!!

.: Home Sweet Home:.

Congrat & appreciation to darling hubbie & myself =)

12 more days, and I'll be officially a Yishun resident. Haha, gonna leave my AMK house for good this time, wonders if my mum will miss me? Luckily hubby borrowed the car from his friend eventually, if not our weekend will be boring and tedious from travelling, as we have to go to Jln Besar to get our tap which was the 2nd tap we're getting for our MBR toilet simply because my dear contractor lost it. Can you imagine that? It cost me additional S$135 but fortunately the contractor is going to pay for it. Seriously I am still wondering how the tap will be lost.

Hubby wanted to get a new modem so badly as his old one kept disconnecting him from his DOTA gaming! We went scouting for one @ Sim Lim after that, well I'm literally just walking around with them, as the two guys scouts for it - there's really nothing much to shop around there, unless buying IT gadgets. Men always commented "women are never tired from shopping, they can spend hours trying clothes"; - c'mon, it's obviously pot calling the kettle black!! We spent almost 3hrs there just scouting and comparing prices for a modem!! Haha.

iPod Nano's prices dropped tremendously, it's only selling for S$215 for 2GB (of course without it's charger and silicon cover). Hubby wanted to get one for me (think because he really seldom get me presents), but I insisted on not having one even though I like it. These gadgets are not a MUST to me, so I can definitely live without it.

Supposed to heading to dog farmhouse @ Paris Ris with his other friends but there's a change of plan at the very last minute - so disappointing! Was still looking forward to it!! Ah huh, but we went there the next very day =)

Xiong wanted another Shih Tzu to accompany Pepper (shih tze too) and I originally wanted a mini Maltese or teacup Poodle. Tell you guys, get yourself prepared to strong "aromatic" doggy smell!! Hahaha! There's this breed that hubby likes so much, I call it "hush puppy" (don't know what's it's breed) it's simply adorable but we can't keep it in HDB estate, so too bad. Am I really that up-market person (as what hubby always term me) ? My teacup poodle - S$2000 onwards! OMG, it's freaking expensive! Mini maltese - S$700, well still afforable for this. One of the kennel's shop auntie brought out 3 mimi maltese puppies for me to view and they're all adorable!!! $600 for the 1 month old and I can carry off immediately but will have to bring her for a jab end of the month which will at most cost me +$40.

Here's the silly part : At Paris Ris dog farm, they only accept Cash / Cheque mostly, maybe there's one or two accepts NETS, but no one accepts cards! Meaning buyers will have to bring along few thousands cash in their pocket, it's absurd! Hubby drove out to the nearest ATM leaving me behind at the shop, giving me time to consider, but I was already standing empty-handed by the roadside when he returned. Ironically - decided to give it a miss after finally managing to convince hubby to have one dog for companion!

Having one dog now will be adding on to my already piling up commitments, doubt I can handle it. Perhaps it's more wise to settle issue by issue for now.

Sigh ... there goes my puppy.
But my house is coming up & ready!
