Hubby had realised one thing about himself during our spring-cleaning. He is a Cleanliness Freak. At times, he cannot tahan me when I do the cleaning. Imagine us trying to pick fight during house-cleaning? It hasn't been easy. haha... Each has got their own way of doing things. And his theory of "Compromise is not a solution" doesn't really impress me.
Anyway, the cleaning is officially done with. The entire place is finally spick and span. We were there from late morning till evening cleaning up each day. The final touch ended with Hubby mopping the whole place yesterday while I went out with my mum and sis. Here comes an example of Irony: I wanted to mop the whole flat in the afternoon and he said,"Do you think you need to do so? Don't you think that the floor is OK, not sticky wat?" I felt that my feet would feel better if I did. Anyway, in order not to quarrel with him over mopping the flat and saving my energy as well, I compromised and "Ok, if u feel the floor is ok, then I don't mop."
While outside, I messaged him asking him if he had gone home and his reply,"Mopping the floor." I feel like banging my head against the wall. Don't know to laugh or cry. MEN ARE UNPREDICTABLE CREATURES Too!!! Anyway, thank God it's over. We are like 2 house-proud owners. I wanted to video the house but lent it to MIL who went to Vietnam and China and will be back on 7-june. So the pics u r seeing these days are taken with my O2.
We had tenants would-be coming in today to view our flat. The 1st group was recommended by our neighbour there, Rosalyn. They are Filippino nurses who works in the NKF nearby. They wanted all 3 bedrooms and the price and stuff wasn't suited to each other's expectations. So keep in view.
The 2nd was brought in by Arthur (our housing agent). It was an Indian expatriate family. Couple and 3 daughters who wanted to look around for a place near their daughter's school. Ours is within walking distance to that. Allan and I quite like them. They loved our place and made an offer within 15mins of viewing. Their offer was quite good and we thought they would make good tenants. So we deal! Their daughers were very sweet. Kept saying, "bye bye" to me for umpteen times even when the lift door was closing. Kids just make your day sometimes!
I have trouble remembering their names so I better jot down now. Husband: Hema. Wife: Shuba. Eldest daughter: Bugi. These are the short forms, mind you. Not their full name. I could never ever pronounce their full name. They have just been in Singapore for a week. I think it would be quite fun getting to know them. and helping them to familiarise with Singapore and our way of life here. The husband is working in Barclays, IT side. Wife is full-time mummy. They didn't need us to provide any furnishing except for dining table, fridge and a washing machine which we all had. Gotta move our sofa out of the way though. Who needs 2nd-hand sofa, pls tell me! Barclay sponsored them (4 containers) to shift whatever they want from India to Singapore. So they got their own beds, wardrobes, sofa, TV, vacuum cleaner(S$3000+), microwave shifted here. Think Hema is very well-paid... keke...
So things are more or less settled. They are gonna shift in on 15-June. Hubby and I need to apply for TV license, telephone line. Next, waiting for my fridge, bedroom furniture to come in. And the electrician on Tues.
ThE KitChen Cabinets which were scrubbed clean and shiny! ReaDy for Use....
ThE PoT of Money Plants that Hubby placed on top of the KiTchen CounterTop to give it a lively feel. We placed a sMall One in the Living Room Coffee-Table.
CeleBrated with Hubby after signing the Deal with a late lunch at Thai Express at 4pm. Super hungry by then.
This pic is taken a few days back. Our favourite furnishing piece of the whole house. The table is really SoLid! 
Look at the carvings on the table legs and chair legs.
Long weekend is over soon! Looking forward to next occassion! Hubby's Birthday next Sunday....
