New Keys and Starting Work

Okay. We've finally gotten hold of the keys after a somewhat disappointing HDB 2nd appointment. Our PoA was late, and we had a really ugly old grouch (male) as the executive charged with handling the case. Anywayz, we've got the keys and that's that.

Our mums were there the same evening, doing what all superstitious mothers do. It was freaking warm and humid these days but we had to endure the heat as they proceeded with the "拜拜". They were happy, but I hope I didn't scare my neighbours (obviously not Chinese folk). LOL.

Our he-who-shall-not-be-named ID is looking to start work soon...once we get a PE to certify we can destroy half the apartment... This part is a pain, as our work will be slightly delayed due to all the paper work to be done. On the bright, our marble tiles are already on the way to sunny Singapore! (Let's hope it looks really nice)

Been sent to NYK for a biz trip for the whole of next week, so my dear wife will be handling the supervision of our ID and the renovation for the first week. I should be back just when the house gets a proper knocking and ready for the tiling work.

And finally, a picture of our keys...


Our journey of a thousand miles starts with this first step.
(maybe its just 2km from where I currently live.. will check google maps next time)
