Our new home..the ups and downs in getting there
November 19th 2007 by Wife in Feelings, PreparationsTook some pics of our empty (and dusty :p) new house when we went up to check on the taps and locks of our bedrooms! So here’s a peek at how our new house looks like! 
The hallway to the bedrooms…
I can put up photos on the walls!
And below is the view from the master bedroom window
And this one here is the view from the future Pooh room
We spoke to a contractor yesterday regarding the ‘construction’ of our kitchen cabinet. The entire one-length top and bottom cabinets came up to a whooping S$3.9k! This includes washing and polishing of our living room floor, as well as the masonry works for fitting our hobs and sinks. So I guess it’s relatively alright? It’s just that 3.9k is not a small sum, and having blown an entire life’s savings on the downpayment of the flat, we now still have to fork out money for so many things that we need (and want) in the new home. Ah well, money can always be earned back I suppose – it’s the homely feel that counts. 
Oh, and we discovered that there is either a leaking or burst pipe in the bathroom wall! Water was dripping down from the tiles near the top of the wall, and a hole in the kitchen wall adjacent to the bathroom had water flowing out of it too! Imagine the horror I felt when I discovered this!
Good thing we turned on the water supply to check the taps, otherwise, when we want to start any form of renovation, it will be disastrous. We’d be complaining to the HDB in due course (couldn’t do it on a weekend could we?), and hopefully it’s nothing serious! *cross fingers*
For now, my mind is in a whirl just thinking about the painting process (it’s simply too expensive to get someone to paint for us, so we have to DIY), colors for the walls, the appropriate kitchen sink, hob and hood, as well as furniture. Oh man.. getting our home sweet home is indeed a lot tougher than I thought it’d be. Haha.. Looks like I overestimated myself and my abilities 
*Amendment: My mother-in-law kindly sponsored us for the paint job as she feels that we will simply strain ourselves doing it DIY. And I’m glad she persuaded us to take up her offer, cos after seeing the painter do the job, it’s simply no mean feat!

I know it was Albert Schweitzer who said with gusto the phrase Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.
