Fatigue!

Jgal -
After about 5 months of furniture shopping, Kboy and I are suffering from furniture-shopping fatigue! If there is a scientific medical term for it, let us know so we can go to the doctors and apply for MC.

We've finally completed furnishing our house with the latest purchase - a TV console from a shop in Furniture Mall. Haven't been into Furniture Mall for the past 6-7 years i think, and that place is still the same!! Like a smaller scale IMM, it houses various furniture brands and shops, featuring almost every type of furniture you can think of, from modern, to classic, to woody chinese looking pieces, to upmarket ones, mass market ones, beds, curtains and carpets etc... Bryan Wong and Mark Lee should go to these places for their Bai Jia Le program!!

We also purchased bedside lamps from Balestier. You have to shop around, there're more than 15 shops and prices vary quite abit (of course quality is different la) but about half the lights in our house are purchased there.

Jgal was also pestering Kboy for a Christmas tree, as its always been Jgal's dream to put up a christmas tree and decorate it, just that in my former home, there was simply no luxury of space. Kboy gave in eventually, and if you come round to our place this Christmas, you'll see a very nice tree around :)

1st House Warming

We just had our first housewarming today (11/11). Initially it was just a simple catch up and dinner with Chin Yi, Jamie, Kelly and Janet. But since they came with gifts, then i suppose its considered a housewarming!! :) Not too bad, we all had an enjoyable time, except that we had a little electrical problem halfway into our steamboat dinner...the extension plug decided to call it quits. You can imagine our panic when we realised that we had no other extension cords. Eventually, we shifted the whole dining table nearer to the powerpoint itself, otherwise I think we might have had to cook all the food on the stove instead.

Since moving into simei, both kboy and jgal are enjoying our new home and convenience. It takes jgal 30mins to get to work now, (5min walk to mrt, 15min train, 10min walk to office) and for kboy, he's enjoying the fact that we can just pop into Eastpoint to get stuff (5min walk). No need to drive or find parking :)

We are shopping and getting new furniture every week. Its like weekly outings to Ikea is a norm for us now... but we are still searching for a few essential pieces before we can hold bigger house warming parties. Well, those of you reading this and wondering when you'll be invited (or want to be invited) drop us a comment :) We'll try our best to slot you in before Christmas!! (wah...dua pai!! hehee)

Back to work

Kboy says

Its back to work for us. I still am feeling a bit jet lagged, and have a slight fever. Think I caught something from london, the weather there was appalling, as usual! Good thing was, I got fewer emails than I expected at work, so managed to clear the backlog quite fast. Still, its a bit of an effort to get back into the swing of things.

Jgal is now sitting next to me with a mask on ... watching our new TV that we bought yesterday. Cash and carry from Parisilk. Good deal, got a free TV with the new new TV.

Married life is looking good ...
