Song Sharing Sunday #203 - Oh Dance! ~ SKARF

I am totally exhausted from the unpacking and endless cleaning after my family moved into the new house.
No matter how tired I am, we still go to my in-law's house for the usual Sunday gathering with the rest of the big family of 14.

I slept right after my lunch.
From around 1.30pm, I slept till now : 5.33pm, and woke up to my 2 elder nieces singing to this song, while my FIL was in the toilet.

The moment my FIL came out, he said: "You all have stomachache ah? (the diarrhea type) Ooooohhhhh Dan!"
*Super Huge Laugh*

Progress of New House - Update 9

I thought my previous 'new house update' blog post "Progress of New House - Update 8" would be the shortest post of all updates, but this post on last week's renovation progress proved me wrong.
*laugh*

Work was done on Monday and Tuesday ONLY
Nothing was done INSIDE my house there after as everyone had to wait for the carpenter to finish up all woodwork in his factory and deliver the masterpieces to my house first, before anyone could proceed further.

So on Monday, the aircon guys and the electrician came again to finish off where they left off the other time, read post "Progress of New House - Update 7".
My heart kept racing when the aircon guy was standing outside the house
A job that can risk one's life indeed! 
So Scary!!!!
He risked his life to fix the aircon compressor for us....
*Super Hugs* 






Watching them at work once more through this video which we recorded below, makes my heart pound hard and fast again
*Salute*
THANK YOU..... THANK YOU....





 


And by Tuesday, all lights were up and working. *Thumbs Up*

Lights at the walkway from Living Room to the Kitchen. I think the effect would be nicer after the wall papers are up. *grin*

Dining Area Light. Did not want to hang the crystals until all renovation works are done, fearing that they might get hit.

Living Room Light

The light above Allan and my working desks

The light above the kids' study tables

Same design in the kids' bedroom and the master bedroom

Kitchen Lights x2

Just a simple light bulb for the 2 toilets and the storeroom


This week would be the MOST exciting and hectic week, as EVERYONE rushes to finish up EVERYTHING by end of this week so that we could move in next week.

I told my renovation contractor right from the very beginning that we MUST move in before school reopens and we need time to unpack too before the kids are back to school.

Thus, by hook or by crook, they MUST get the job done by end of this week.
 Afterall, it is the 8th week already, the 'ending' week, which they promised us right from the start.   

As most of the things will only complete on this Saturday, I could only get my OWN wall paper contractor and my OWN tempered glass contractor to come next week AFTER we moved in. Even my new TV would not come till last day of this year.
Therefore, I would say, we are moving into an 'incomplete' house.
  
Well, it is my BIGGEST (in size) Christmas Gift ever!
I am Soooooooooooo Over The Moon right now!

Officially a HappyCall Owner now!

Ohhhhhhhhh yes!
I am officially a HappyCall Owner now!
Whoo-hoo!
*clap clap clap*

All thanks to my 2nd BIL and SIL.
*Super Duper Hugs*

Last month, they asked me what would I like to have as a house warming gift. I struggled long and hard before I told them "HappyCall!"

I wanted the HappyCall Jumbo Grill double pan, the deep frying pan and the pots!
Yes, I wanted almost the entire range of HappyCall products!
My ex-neighbour highly recommended it before I moved out of my previous house.
Thus, ever since that day, I made a pact with myself that I want to be a proud HappyCall owner after I moved into my new house.

I know it would cost alot to get the full range and so we went to check out each individual item and their price to calculate the total cost.
After digging deeper, only did we realised that we did not need every item.

My 2nd BIL and SIL were going to Korea and thought it would be a great opportunity to buy HappyCall for me over there, knowing that its cheaper too.

I did not want my 2nd BIL and SIL to spend too much, so I told them to buy just ONE from MY  HappyCall product list as a house warming gift.

Instead, they bought every item listed by me!
Aaaaawwww...... so touched!!!!
*hugs*

When they were in Korea, they managed to find the HappyCall Jumbo Grill double pan only, so the deep frying pan and pots were bought in Singapore.



 

 

 

 I am soooooooooooo happy!!!
*jumping up and down and dancing all around*


My only concern now is the instruction booklet that comes along with the HappyCall Jumbo Grill double pan.
As its from Korea, the entire instruction booklet is in Korean!
*faint*

Now I need to find someone who knows how to read Korean OR find someone who also bought the HappyCall Jumbo Grill Pan from Singapore, so that I can 'copy' the English version of the booklet.

HELP!
Anyone?!


Especially the following 3 pages:~







 Thank you 2nd BIL and SIL for such a BIG house warming gift!
Your gesture warms my heart so much!
*Super Bear Hugs*

Progress of New House - Update 8

Just like what I had said previously in "Progress of New House - Update 7", this would probably be the shortest post of all as there was nothing else done last week except the plastering box-up work and the tedious painting job.

Thus, less words and more photos this round....

Box-Up, was not in our original plan though... (read previous post if you want to know why)






Painting of the entire house... and he would be back for touch-up again before the final hand-over.


Living Room





Master Bedroom



 Kids' Bedroom




Study/Computer Room










Ta-Da!
That's it for this round of update...
So little progress last week right???
Hhhmmmm...
I feel so too.
But when painting is on-going, no drilling can be done or else the dust would be stuck onto the wet paint....
