House updates

Our house is more or less completed, except for some items. We finally got the main hall TV and sound system installed last Saturday, plus setting up of the altar table in preparation of a moving in ceremony for the Guan Yin this coming Wednesday. Had to take leave again and had intended to go Ikea for some shopping but Web could only take morning off so probably I might come back to work too.

The room TV and sofa got delayed, the former being something wrong with the stand thus they need to change an unit for us. The L-shaped sofa was delayed coz Courts called to say the batch they received was out of quality thus they rejected and had to wait for the next batch. We have also yet to get our TV rack for the cosy room thus probably only that room is not completed.

We realised that the main antenna for the TV and radio was not turned on by HDB thus only requested yesterday. Thus we hanged around enjoying music concert DVD and MTV VCD last weekend at the new house, almost blasting the system. Several groups of people came by to look at the environment and hope they dun get scared off by us. The whole row of units have been taken up at our floor, except the unit opposite us.

Not much cleaning last weekend coz most of the stuff are in. I managed to trim the string curtains abit finally and they looked better, barely touching the floor than before. The glass door for our master bedroom toilet was also installed, together with the shower screen. Our ID also came by to collect payment last Sat and we paid all but the last 10%+, to safeguard our interest in case anything else is not done properly.

It was then shopping for household necessities on Sunday at Hougang Green 1st then took a cab back to our new house and out to Rivervale Plaza for dinner and to buy more stuff. At least basic stuff are in place now and hopefully we can start to stay over soon. Its then a busy time for us to slowly move our stuff over, which I anticipated will take quite a while for mine coz I have too much stuff.
