Settled in a new home

After 2.5 years of wait, we got the keys to our new place. Whoopie it's good to be back east. I am sick of travelling from Jurong to the office in Chai Chee!

Sourcing around for an ID or contractor was no fun. We had to spend hours talking to people, sharing the same ideas over and over again. Eventually, we settled on a contractor who reminded me of Phua Chu Kang. He was only missing the yellow wellingtons. He was also the only contractor who actually produced 3D drawings without extra costs. Even asked how many 3D drawings I wanted. Funny. However, once we have decided on the contractor, doing up the place was great. I thoroughly enjoyed choosing the laminates i like, wallpapers, space planning, furnishings and the list goes on. Of course, I can once again indulge in shopping for crockery and utensils so that I can perhaps start cooking again?

After nearly 2 months of renos and settling defects with the developer for our unit, we moved in officially on 20 Jan 2012. I was overwhelmed to finally be able to say, "Welcome Home".
