We have Moved!!

We have MOVED!! YAY!!!

The day has finally come and we have moved.

The ideas was to move before Hari Raya, so that we will have time to unpack after!

Thankfully it was a bright and cherry morning.

The truck arrived (spot it in between the rooftops of our condo).

And was ready to be loaded up

For those of you who find our moving experience satisfactory.

Here's a bit of advertising for them.

The dude's name is Aman and was recommend by Sean.

They came upstairs and help us to disassemble the big stuff

They took down the TV and the Home Theatre System and the TV Cabinet.

Do u remember as a kid .. u always like to burst those bubble wraps?

Well they had like ONE GIGANTIC Buble Wrap rolled up.

And thankfully they were wrapping up all our AV equipments one by one!

They came prepared with their necessary tools and even Ikea Allen Keys

So we didn't need to provide them anything.

They just took apart the cabinet in minutes

See all the stuff so nicely wrapped! :)

We also had to clear our Wardrobes, and it was goodbye to

our old room ...... so sad.

The room was in a mess as you can see.

Lots of boxes with all of our clothes.

And there they go. The movers starting moving things

out of the house.

EEEEK!! The hall is BARE!! Everythings is gone!

It was good that our unit was located next to the Bomba lift.

Cos it was easier and faster for them to move things down by the big loads!

All the Boxes started coming down and they started filling their

little 2-tonne lorry!

When the bigger things came down, I was glad to see them stacking them

neatly and in order, so that more things can enter into the lorry.

This is how Zoe's cot looks like when its all stripped apart.

They also helped reduce our Comptuer Table (which is the Ikea's Jerker Table)

from its massive size to this small little pieces of wood and metal!

The lorry was packed to the brim with stuff

They had to brings things out twice cos they have huge

trolleys to fill.

Yup.. we also used our car to help ferry some things over!

As u can see the Serena was jam packed with the smaller stuff! :)

Thankfully the MOVING part was all done on that ONE DAY!

It was crazy and tiring ... but done!!

And now the dreading thing begins ... unpacking ...

Check out Nathanael & Zoe Joy's Room

One super big THANK YOU to Dicky for helping with

the house Interior Decor and far and above that to do a

Noah's Ark mural in the Kids Room!

Check out the kids rooms .... on our front door

you can see Nate & Zoe's name on the door.

And what greets u as you walk in is the brightly colored

animals that covers the wall from left to right!

Lots of cute cute animals .. and in two by two ...

by the way ... can u spot the Ark?

(clue : not in the above pic)

We also love the colorful strip that Dicky made, which runs all

around the room. He painted that strip over 8 times in order to get that cool effect!

Here's a corner with more cute animals.

And can you spot Noah on the wall ?

Nathanael & Zoe Joy have the funkiest curtain in the house.

Its a Colorful vertical stripes that covers their windows. And the

colors matched the colorful pictures on the wall!

Hope you enjoy the Tour of Nathanael & Zoe Joy's room ...

This is Dicky Cheah, Tiff's cousin.

He's super cool in his talents for art, decor and what colors would match which wall and curtains that would match.
Now that's something I can't do!! :)



So if u want Dicky to do your kids room. Let us know and we'll ask him ... for a FEE! :)
- Dicky .. will u give us some commission too .. :) hehe

We Painted Our Rooms on Sunday

Who would ever imagine that I would lift a finger to paint the house? haha! My concept is .. pay someone and get someone to paint it lah :)

We ended up painting TWO feature Walls in our bedrooms yesterday. It was kinda fun!

Check out our Work of Art

Tiff & I .. battled it out .. who paints which room!!

Tiff takes the Master Bedroom (Yellow)

And I took the Guest Bedroom (Lime Green)

Check out the Roller Skills ... Up & Down

as you roll the ici paint on the wall!

Actually its not too difficult. It is definitely easier than painting

with paint brushes and that the roller really keep the paint even on the wall!

Yes we did our GRAFITTI in our Bedrooms.

:) haha the only time we can do it without any worries!

Emily also helped with the Painting ....

Eunice was cool ... she did the Best job!

She help remove all the paint from spots where it was not to be painted.

Thankfully the paint was water based, so just wipe it away with a cloth! KEWL!

Ben was helping us in the Kitchen to fill up

holes in the walls (recent hacking) with some PollyFilla! :)

TA DAH!! Not bad hor? The room is all painted in Yellow!

What might those poles be u may be asking?

Its actually the "skeleton" for our LACK Bookshelf (from Ikea) .

And of course if you were to slide in the Lack Bookshelf like I did,

its very easy to get PAINT on your Head!!!!

We didn't remove the Plastic Covering from the Lack Bookshelves

So just to give u a glimpse of how it would finally look once we move in!

OH YES ... apart from Paint on my head ..

YES ... it was real work .. there was paint all over my hands!! :)

And here's the PROOF .. i WORKED!! haha

The Kitchen SET UP - Part One

Our current Kitchen is actually very very small. Actually pretty good for me, cos i ain't no cook! But the typical question that most people have ... eh .. i thot u went to study Hotel Management, didn't they teach u how to cook??

Sigh ... and my typical response to the boring question ... Yes i went to study Hotel MANAGEMENT, i Manage the people to get things done not COOK IT!!! HA ha ha ha! :)

Well. . coming back to the Kitchen. So in our new place ..the Kitchen will actually look much bigger, and we have told the Kitchen company to try and maximize as much space as possible. (Hope we don't regret the "boxed-in" feeling after its all done up).

So the KITCHEN Set Up was rather interesting, cos it has so many parties involved. I never did realized that one skilled worker actually may not or even do not know how to do another skilled person's task. Example, on the day of the Kitchen Cabinet Set Up, none of them knew how to set up the Sink and Taps! (Or so they tell me!)

THE KITCHEN SET UP - PART ONE

This is our Kitchen, with the original sink set up.

Was pretty glad that they highligted some colors in the Kitchen

by having different tiles direcly centred in the Kitchen.

Three Workers came to set up the Kitchen in our new place.

You can see they were rather considerate to put a tarp on the floor

to prevent from damaging our tiles. :) GOOD ONE!

I never understood why they never used a trolley to

bring all the stuff up! The three guys carried everything up from the

Lorry to the Unit!! KRAZY!!! Strong .. but Krazy!

They went thru the Kitchen Plans prior to doing anything.

I appreciated that, cos then whatever questions, I was there to tell how it was suppose to go.

Similiarly to the Bonanza Wardrobe, they worked on the Kitchen Cabinets,

sawing and cuting all the edges that didnt' fit.

And it was rather quick when i started seeing 10%, 20%, 30% of the

Kitchen coming to fruition.

We had shelves built in on the TOP as well as at the Bottom,

yups .. wanted to maximize on all SURFACE area to keep things tidy!

They were really professional in handling the Kitchen cabinets.

They joined them and drilled them on with total ease!!

At soon as the Kitchen Cabinets were in place, another

Team of workers came in to measure the Counter Top.

PART ONE of the Kitchen ..... Kitchen Cabinets are all in place.

Now ready for the Cabinet Doors and Marble Counter Top!!!

Sadly ... our door color ran out of stock, so we have to wait a week plus for the

next shipment to come in! So we have come door-less kitchen now! :)

More updates tomorrow!!!
