This is what i was doing the whole day in the office. The 2D drawing of the house and it’s proposed arrangement of the furniture. I will try do a 3D next! Sungguh aku free tapi step busy.

Not much updates on the wedding preps for this month. This month is all about the house. Rumah tu tak abis2 bersihkan. I’ve been telling my friends that my kitchen and living room are kinda small, tapi bila dah kena cuci satu rumah, haaaah amik kau. Besar jugak rumah ni! Sakit pinggang, sakit kepala semua lah kuar.

July would be an exciting month for the wedding department though. First would be our Outdoor Shoot! Suka!
Then on the same day would be our 1st selection of our bridal outfits. Lagi suka!

The photographer was suggesting that we take few shots of us in the bare new home. We are still thinking though if we should.

It is four months away from our Big Day and i am so freaking out. Bleargh.

Ok, as promised, more pictures of the house and a clearer view of it since i used the camera this time round.

Last saturday, me and the boy semangat cuci dapur, cuci toilet, pasang lampu.
Sumpah penat macam lari marathon.

My arms were aching that evening from all the scrubbing i had to do to remove all those dusty stains on the floorings.

Tapi bila dah nampak lantai kilat macam gelang makcik tingkat atas, waaaaaaahhh happynya! Macam nak rolling-rolling je.

and oh, i finally get to meet the next door neighbour.

At first i thought my neighbours are gonna be some old retired couple with grown-up kids our age.

Look at the exterior of their house and you’ll know what i mean.

But it turns out to be a relatively young couple lah. About late 30s to early 40s gitu and they have 2 sons which i believe baru nak masok NS those kind of age.

Terperanjat bila dorang came over to say hello. But it was so nice of them to do so and they look so friendly. Selamat aku.

We also managed to korek some history of the house from them since we are at it. haha

Turns out, the house was previously owned by a young Malay couple with no children. Dua2 malas nak kerja, api air tak tau berapa banyak kali kena potong, dah dua2 tak kerja, takde duit lah nak bayar duit rumah, so HDB tarik balik the house and the house has been vacant for about 2-3 years already.

Most importantly, he said not to worry, so far belom ada loansharks cases etc. haha

Dengar part tu je dah happy.

Ok sorry cerita meleret. Nak tunjuk gambar rumah dari tadi tak tunjuk2.

Here goes:

Living Room:

This is where our TV and Sofa are gonna be. The view from the dining area.
We will be running the TV Cables from the other side of the room to this side instead. HDB punya designs kekadang menyakitkan hati. Siapalah nak pergi letak TV and sofa betul2 depan pintu?

That’s the TV Cable Point. Betul2 sebelah window kecik tu. If i were to put the TV there, then takkan sofa tengah2 rumah kan. haha

Entertainment Room:

The wall that’s gonna be Pink. Hopefully.

Kitchen:

Where we’ll be putting our cabinets. The cooking and washing area.
We have found a Carpenter who can build our kitchen at a very very competitive price. So far he quoted us the lowest price but we have yet to meet up with him and get the final quotation.

We have also also not decided the colour of our cabinets. Could be either White or Grey. 🙂

The other side of the kitchen. I know this space is bigger and much much suitable for cooking and washing. However, there is no drainhole at that area and if i were to cook there, it’ll be kinda stuffy.

The cleaned kitchen. I still have to clean it some more ngan stain remover. I don’t know why, even though the kitchen is newly-renovated by HDB, rasa mcm tak fresh gitu. haha. Nak aje aku acid wash satu dapur.

Service Balcony:

Nampak tak betapa berhabuk nya flooring tu.

 

Lepas dah cuci the floor. Mau aku scrub flooring tu macam maid.
Penat tau. and oh.. washing machine dah sampai! hahaha
We got the washing Machine during Best Denki Mother’s Day Sale. We got it at a very good price and i love love the shape!

Toilet yang dah di-scrub macam nak gila! Ni pun macam nak crub lagi tengah2 tile tu. Nak beli stain remover yang terhandal di market. hmmph.

Nampak tu baldi pink? The first pink household item yo!
The boy gave up. Dia sampai tolong aku look out for pink household stuffs pun ada.

Sampai je kedai hardware, member cakap
“ahh tu baldi pink, penyapu pink, mop pink. Gi lah beli.. ”

Thanks B!  :))

Ok, itu aje cerita rumah kali ni. We are in the midst of buying lightings for the house and kita dah sign up a contractor to do up the grilles for us.

The grilles and the floorings will be done once we are done with the house paintings which i hope could be done by this month. Tapi nampak macam tak boleh je, pasal the boy will be busy with wedding performances in June.  sigh.

This week, we’ll be cleaning the other parts of the house and as much as i hate cleaning, it sure feels different to do it to at your own place! hehe

Our new home of course!

I can’t tell you guys how tired am i nowadays. I been to Tradehub 21, SG Expo, Sungei Kadut, IKEA umpteen times.

I have been scouring the net for tips and contacts of Contractors i can use.

So far, we managed to get our Bedroom Set from Nova. It was love at 1st sight for me and him. Paling suka the dresser table. Pasal ada banyak storage place. Bole simpan my makeup yang melambak2 tu.

We also got a Washing Machine from Best Denki during the Mother’s Day Sale. I feel so auntie buying a washing machine. Haha

One of our close friend got us a 32″ LCD TV recently as a wedding gift. Such a nice surprise! Lol

Now we are gonna get some basic lightings first, get our paints and the grilles done for the living room.

The electricity and water are already available so i’ll probably start washing the kitchen etc 1st cos it’s sooooo dusty!

Some pictures i took right after we took our keys from HDB.

Member excited. Nampak sgt. Lol

This is where our TV set is gonna be.

Ni gambar sungguh tak perlu i know, but u should see the amount of junks we had in our letterbox!! Macam bukit! Haha

Ok, sorry for the poor quality of the pictures. I was using my iphone. Will take a clearer picture on Saturday!

We have just got our keys. After many months of waiting!

Our appointment was scheduled at 10.10am this morning. We reached HDB at about 9.30am, got our Fire Insurance and then get our Q no.

We were called up in less than 5mins, even earlier than our appt time.

The HDB officer went thru a lot of the documents with us, from the loan, the grant etc and there were soooo many documents to sign. Like seriously banyak!

My signature daripada straight sampai senget2 sey.

But i am glad we have finally got the keys and we can now do our measurements for the kitchen etc.

It’s gonna be an exciting ride! 🙂
