Pack pack pack - Moved.

After nearly 4 months staying in temp accommodation, we finally moved this weekend to our new home for the next two years. The few weeks leading up to the move were pretty mundane as we were stuck slowly packing each night after work. Thankfully there's wonderful Pow who helped with the kitchen items. Jin was his usual cool bo chap-self (hrrmph!) as he only decided to pack the night before the move. Seems to think that the night elves magically make the boxes up on their own while he sleeps :p

As the movers were too busy to help us move on a Saturday as planned (sign of the times where everyone's probably moving due to higher rents or being more affluent), we took Friday off to supervise the move. Not wanting to waste a whole day off just on moving, I arranged a quick 9 hole game at keppel. It was our 1st time playing at a real club and the service was impressive. You get to drop off your golf bags at the buggy station and the staff helps you unload and upload the bags onto the buggy. We teed off at the 1st hole instead of the intimidating 10th hole and happy to note that I got off at a pretty impressive start...the rest of the game need not be discussed :D. lost so many balls - the lake monster surely knows how to gobble up balls..good thing balls were cheap as they were bought in good ol Msia. Only managed 8 holes before we got rained out but overall it was a very fun morning with wonderful cool weather.

The second half of the day was exhausting as we moved 60 over boxes..here's a pix of how much stuff we have!! gulp...we def need to simplify our lives..time to visit the salvation army. What made the day even more busy - we were also trying to rent out our other place so meeting agents, buying white goods. whew..was officially exhausted at day's end. I think Jin felt it too and decided that a good meal was well deserved.





We headed to the fabulous Greenwood Fish Market for yummy lobster bisque and escargots...the escargots were very uniquely presented in kueh pai tee style. A definite must try again appetizer!

Settling quite comfortably into our new home...it's quiet and that's a major blessing seeing how sensitive I am to noise which in turns affects my sleep. The pool view outside is extremely relaxing and so far, am pretty happy with the new place. Have been going to bed late trying to unpack a bit each night and this morning, Jin woke up earlier and walked down the road to get us breakfast..how nice it was to wake up and have teh halia for breakfast :). Will take pix of our new home after the stuff in the 60 boxes have been unpacked and we make it swee swee! :p
