Finally...

We finally moved into Potong Pasir last Sat... the movers were really quick but they were shocked at the amt of stuff we have from just 2 rooms!! The estimater who came to assess our stuff told him, 1 lorry load MORE than enough!! But on Sat, we had abt 40 boxes, 1 queen bed, 1 bunk bed,, 1 display unit, 1 table, 2 book shelves, 1 fridge etc!! With their clever packing, every thing went into the lorry, it was FULL!! don't be fooled by the pic, this was taken at the start of move, this whole lorry was packed!!

Poor guys, they had a hard time carrying all our stuff up 1 flight of steps & thru the rather tiny door of our flat. Everything was moved into our flat abt 5pm. We had to quickly set up the beds, unpack our clothes, bath stuff so that it can be livable for the night. By the time we were done and had dinner, it was abt 9.30pm. Totally tired but all of us did not sleep well the 1st nite. Guess we were adjusting to new sight & sounds.

It was a super short drive only 5 mins to churh on Sunday. On Sun, we put up the curtains, fix up the TV & set up the kitchen. We decide to go back & have dinner with my in laws & off to Vivo City we went. It was a good dinner & we got their cable TV fix & set up as well. Sunday night sleep was much better, Ezra slept on our bed, transferred him to his own bed & he slept thru the night.

Ezra got up a little later than usual on Monday morning but we were still in time!! As the car ride is much shorter now, he can't have his bkf in the car but now have it in sch while waiting. He had his 1st ride in the sch bus home today. He is very excited and look forward to it. My big boy.

Up to today, we have only the study room stuff (which is the most) still left unpack. We need to get book shelves & study table before we can do anything! So I am going supermarketing this evening aft work to buy some stuff to cook.

We are slowly adjusting & enjoying ourselves in our humble home. God is so so good.

YAY! Thank God for the clever packing by the movers! I thought you started moving at 1pm only right? And by 5pm all were moved into the flat... that was fast!

Glad you guys are adjusting well. Sounds like fun cooking the first meal in the new home! Enjoy!!

Potong Pasir is such a nice place to live in. Can you see the Bidadari park from your window?

U all must be super excited about the new house right? :)

One tip for u is not to fill up and decorate all areas at once. Better to leave some for later when u have the time to do leisure shopping and u might find something great then. It will be not so tiring for u too!
