[sailormoonwt]

Ohaiyo Ladies!

sailormoon reporting here! hehehehehe....

momocharz: hey ... dun gan cheong lah... u still hv lotsa of time .. for us , we hv to keep postponing our furniture till tis coming fri ...
our kitchen cabinets jus started work and today doing the feature walls & TV console area ...
hoping for a miracle... *fingers keep crossed*

Diaodu: hey .. i notice tat u had your curtains up liao... royal gold colour... so pretty!

 

[momocharz]

I'm not the one who kan cheong hor, "someone" wants to see the complete look...

Anyway we need the sofa to be up so that we can adjust the viewing angle for the tv so might as well loh... but the thing is... we haven't buy our tv yet! hahahaha...

Sailormoon, what do you have to do for the "shift-in" ceremony?

 

[sailormoonwt]

hahahaha

the someone must be mocharchar ..

eh...i hv consulted the Shifu .. he say those standard praying items (pineapples...apples...orange...longans..banana) but the unique thing tat separates the Kai Gong Dai Ji & this "shift-in" ceremony is we must walk over "charcoal" .. so he advise us to use party-tray and hv charcoal burning.. then walk-over it loh..

plus must boil hot water...must fill up the rice container "man-man" ... tat explains why i m desperately finding my wooden "bee-tang" ...

 

[diaodu]

Hello everybody,

Have been busy lately. Hee...

yes! Last sat, my curtain was up and I really like the colour.

My house very dark.
It brigtens our house. This coming sat, my photo portrait, washing machine and TV are coming and our house will be more or less completed.

Can come my house to watch TV le... haha..

Sailorr moon so excited with her "rice container". haha..

 

[diaodu]

 

[diaodu]

 

[sailormoonwt]

wow Diaodu!!! yr house so cozy wor.. probably the dark wood tat u using..plus the single module sofa with the pyramid pillow (frm BKK one ah? )
makes me wanna jus lie there & enj some nice DVD movie... hehe!

i oso like u leh...use dark colours for shoe cabinet... i wanted white but SK wanted dark colours... *humph* (i lose)

 

[diaodu]

Tks Sailormoon.
I managed to learn how to copy out my photos from handphone. Haha..

Warren is very proud of our new house cos it's very cosy. He did a great job in all the coordination. It's really not easy. If he had not supervised everyday. It would turned out to be a disaster. I didn't do much but it took me some time to accept our new house cos I am fascinated with contemporary designs. haha..

I think I will like yr house .. ...

 

[momocharz]

Diaodu!!

for a moment i decided to go your house watch tv le! so big!!! then read carefully you said your tv coming only this sat, keke...so that black "glass"(?) is not your tv

Nice! must be shiok to watch tv at your place!!

Sailormoon, the one i showed you very big leh! if really must fill man3 man3 hor, then you got to buy 10kg rice le...

 

[diaodu]

Hi Momocharz,

Think you can come to our house to watch TV liao..haha.. we officially moved in last sat.. and it really feels different. finally got own home sweet home..

I am going to buy the rice container from Giant too...

Cheers,
Diaodu

 

[sailormoonwt]

Ohaiyo Ladies!!!

hey...i finally did *wave wave* to Diaodu liao...hehehe...always "missed" Diaodu..nvr get to do the universal *wave wave* to her at our place... hey Diaodu...so u oso did yr symbolic shift on sat lah? how was it? did u sleep there overnite?

for us...we did our symbolic shift though our reno still hv around 50% to go....prior to tat, i had a "taskforce" named sailormoon.Inc to help us do speed cleaning...frm thurs - fri to prepare for the shift on sat... ohh my gosh...cleaning a house is no joking business.... nvr had i scrub so hard & clean so much in my entire life... got many wounds on my hands...even a burnt maRk.. haha...

nevertheless, we did had our steamboat dinner with immediate families as planned on sat evening (tell u ah...tat day right..our mirror contractors were there to fix mirrors and had a hard time fixing them up..initially alot of prblms..luckily the mirror was fixed up at 5plus..stress ah~~~)

slept thru sat nite & felt more like "our house" after staying over... hahahaha!! last nite when we wanna leave...cant bear to leave our lovenest wor... hehehe

momocharz.. so how was yr cleaning last nite? when is yr offical shift ah?

 

[momocharz]

hello ladies!

finally got new postings! I refreshed every now and then.. hehe

hey diaodu, so you are officially a "permanent resident" of Goodview already! Aft the initial cleaning and washing, you got another round "house-moving"! Very siong also right? my friend lived in her new house for a year plus already, she said till now she still has things at her mother's place.. kekeke...

Wah sailormoon, your house still undergoing reno you can find place to sleep!? hee... but the paint, wood, renovation smell makes you feel that you OWN something on your own right?

Our usual weekend cleaning is just vaccuming and mopping the floor and wiping bits here and there. Haven't hand over keys yet so dun want to clean too throughly, jus clean enough for us to walk around without the powdery feeling. He's on reservist this two weeks so we decided to check with the shifu when he comes back. I think by then everything should have completed le (hopefully). So most probably my symbolic shift in will be next year Jan?

Your got your "bee tang" from where? Besides steamboat, what did you cook as your 第一é“èœ??? hehe.. dun tell me rice hor...

 

[diaodu]

Oh ya..finally had a chance to wave..haha.
I must say i am very impressed with you. Cleaning your house so whole-heartedly to the extent of engaging a task force. You actually slept over while it's only 50% renovated. Wow..

We slept over on Sat cos we moved everything from our house and it was really really so messy until now. But I didn't sleep well. Maybe not used to the new place or too excited to be.

We didn't have a chance to unpack everything. Sat, we packed the whole day to get prepared for Sun as he invited his classmates over. I cooked curry chicken and fried mee hoon at his mum's place as we realized we have not bought our wok and cooking utensil. *so funny*

Overall, it was a nice gathering especiallly at our own house. Really have a sense of belonging but was totally drained out... Today go home must unpack unpack again. So tired.. Am waiting for my washing machine to come tomorrow as I already have plenty of clothes to wash already.
Guess there are bundle of joy together with some "Xi Sheng"..haha.. Good luck to all of you.

 

[sailormoonwt]

hehe....yah, we actually cleaned up (mopping lah...vacumming lah...plus washing of toilets...to make it at least a living conditions for us...not workers quarters..hahaha) slept at bedrm 2 cos tat rm we didnt do any carpentary works..jus painting & our timber flooring tats all... overall, the LV RM, dining area plus kitchen (60% done) was oredi a miracle for us tat it was in tis state on last sat liao...

one ting i must complain...which i rem Magical complain oso... there r REALLY alot of "flying insects..chong chong" at our house leh...during reno i dun see tat much..as i was doing cleaning...i see alot of funny funny flying insects so busy in my house... so frustrating!

Momocharz: oh...end up my parents got for us at Beauty World (This shop sells alot of barang barng..its at 2nd flr..besides the Nam Seng Clinic) apart frm tat, we had tang yuan.. as our cooker hod not ready yet...so my tang yuan is cooked using electric rice cooker...

fin all of them!!!

Diaodu: wow... next time when we go over to yr house...we will be expecting yr ai xin curry chicken & fried mee hoon from YOUR kitchen loh!! (hor..momocharz

i feel everyone of us here will love to throw mini gatherings for our frens & families to pop by and share with us our joy no doubt its alot of preparation work...but like Diaodu says...its WORTH every effort ooh!!

 

[diaodu]

Really a lot of insects? I have not seen any so far... *Touch wood*

Haha.. ok, I think I will start official cooking in January..haha. but we pot luck lah.. better..hee... then can try out one another culinary skills.. & learn some tips also..hhaha..

 

[winnie24]

Hi ladies! :>

mi also did my shifting in ceremony last sat leh. hehe. stayed overnite there also.... but my unit cannot see all of u one. so can't wave to anyone.

but y u all got rice container one? mi dun have leh. for the shifting in, we only bought oil, seasonings. then went in house, boil water + switched on all the lights + open all the windows. then put money in the wardrobe.

then u all so li hai - actually cook. hehe. i was complaining to my hubby on sunday morning tat i got nothing to eat... forgot to buy bread. only got eggs. then my friends came over on sat and we bought hor fan for them to eat. haha.

my home also got alot of insects. hate it! think have to close windows most of the time... haiz... like tat must install air-con in living rm liao. then i've got ants in my house also

so sickening! dun know y....

 

[maple_leaves]

Hi diaodu,

Just wondering where did you get ur dinning table & hw much it cost?
I simply jus love it...

 

[diaodu]

Hi Winnie,

Congratulations. I think they got the rice for special ceremony. I am not sure but I saw the picture of the rice container and it looks quite nice so tot of getting one.

We are still struggling to put everything in place and my god, it is really a tedious process.
yesterday, i bought 100 hangers. Going to need some more again. We are constantly putting down list of things to buy.

Anybody has any idea where to buy the poles for hanging clothes purposes?

Hi Elaine,

I got my dining table at DeAngelic at IMM. Selling at S$1100 but got it at S$990.

I like it too...

 

[momocharz]

Hmm... seems like all did your shifting in liao, we haven't even consult a master for the date..

So far not many insects on my side too *also want to touch wood, plenty inside my house* but he was making noise as we can see tiny insects inside the light covers. He purposely chose those "fully" covered ones!

Actually diaodu, I think when you see my house you will have a deja vu feeling... hahaha... our orientation is the same, colour scheme also almost the same and same concept for dining table! I want a WHITE concept initially... dunno why things turn out like that.. kekeke...

Sailormoon, lucky you managed to get one! I find the one at Giant a bit too big for 2 person and imagine got to fill it up!? 10Kg leh.... no joke...

Winnie!! If they really want to pot luck, we volunteer the drinks and desserts okie?? Clean up i volunteer our partners...

For ants hor, i ever try those black, round, stick-on thingy to kill ants leh. Quite effective, no more ants after that. Maybe you can try.

 

[momocharz]

Diaodu,

try the provision shop downstairs, the one at the corner selling buckets and stuff. More convenient but maybe slightly more ex after the feedback from sailormoon about the bee-tang.

 

[diaodu]

Oh is it? I also like white concept wor..haha..
Reallly. hmm... I am interested to see your house. hee.. but think you will like your house when you move in . hee.. cos after work very tired then the house very cosy...

Where to buy the stick-on thingy to kill ants? I want to do precautions..

 

[momocharz]

Last time i got it from NTUC, selling in a packet of 2 for less than $5. So far put 2 at 2 different places where there are ant trails and no more ants liao.

So now both our nests and winnie's are wood wood colour, sailormoon, é ä½ äº†!

 

[sailormoonwt]

wow!!! today our thread so active leh!

my dear diaodu... u fashion queenie ah! u actually bought 100 HANGERS & going to buy somemore?!? *faint*
rem u had a walk-in wardrobe... i can imagine the no of pretty dresses & clothes u hv man!!!

momocharz : yah loh....hv ants in my house oso...probably will buy those stick-on & hope they will work.. me more disturbed by those "fei chong" ... so many of them....

Ladies...do u gals find any chipping off of your floor tiles in yr house when u do thorough cleaning up? sigh... the more i clean up...the more little chips here & there tat i find in my living rm & some of them cant re-do cos of the timber skirting tat sits on the tiles.... so heart-pain leh...

well..... my house colours ah exactly the opposite of u ladies...... eh ... contemporary colours - clean clean white white ... some earth clay colours for living rm... kitchen using bright colours with white laminates ...my mum was saying "good luck to me...cos alot of cleaning up to do ah.. "

winnie ... no universal *wave wave* nevermind ... so long u drop by here regularly & update us your lovenest..its as good as staying together within the same estate mah ...

wonder who will be the 1st to organise housewarming ah!! dun forget our Good View Gardens BBQ hor!

btw..... where is magical??!?!?!?!?

 

[diaodu]

wait till u move in then u know... we are sharing the hangers so it's not not enough!!! hee..

No leh, the floor tiles do not chip off.

Wow.. think yr house really white and nice.. one of my friends' kitchen is orange and white. very modern and beautiful.

We don't plan to organize house warming. Instead, we invite our friends group by group. In that way, can spend more quality time together. Suggest we do it all the same time. Since we live so nearby. Pop by one another house.. isn't that great?

haha.. My bf said he saw one spider and one small bug yesterday. Think I must open my eyes big big..haha..

 

[momocharz]

yah i also worried about the ants problem, so whenever i discover a "gap" between the boards, i will tell my ID i want to seal this with silicon!

Some defects hor, like already "no cure", got to live with it kind... gek-sim ah...

Hmm.. maybe we should compare next time whether white white easier to clean or dark dark easier. Anyway my kitchen also off white with dark grey, my mum saw already said, aiyoh you choose white ah! anyway you dun cook much...

I forgot diaodu got a WIW! I only got a miserable wardrobe which I'm already occupying the whole of such a size currently loh! I dunno how to squeeze in his... kekeke... he said put in storeroom.

Diaodu, I like yours, everything also big big, I "lombang" to watch tv and your WIW ah!

BTW, do you gals find that the toilet floor tiles like get stained very easily? Pour water over won't disperse the dirt wor, need to "attack" the particular spot then the dirt will be washed away.. so always have black black patches now and then.

 

[diaodu]

Hey, my kitchen is also white with black.. hee..

I think my WIW is ok . but the walking space is not bad but a lot of pple said our bedroom very small espcially the old pple who couldn't take it.

Tks Momocharz.

I raised my hand about the toilet stains. It gets dirty so easily. Yesterday, I spent an hour washing two toilets and late in the night, my MBR toilet became dirty again. My god!!!! so gek sim...

 

[momocharz]

Morning ladies!

Wet wet morning...

How's everybody's christmas party? =)

 

[sailormoonwt]

ohaiyo goodview sweeties~

how's everyone's xmas party? (noe i m a little late .... hehe... yesterday was on leave and stayed at new house .. had not shift ovr my PC yet so cant chat with u all)

my xmas party cum SK bday was quite a successful one ... was abit gan cheong and trying to make things happen as we were rushing for time & still cleaning up on 23 Dec itslf.. then suddenly rem tat got 2 presents hvnt buy...so rush to VivoCity at 4 plus (wow! it was SUPER packed) ... bgt our presents then went Cold storage to collect the xmas goodies we ordered (Turkey, seafood platter & sushi party platter) then went home and start preparing... tell u all ah... the turkey was not cooked at all.. we had a hard time fixing up the turkey & had to use microwave oven though we had an oven but hvnt figure out how to use yet... luckily it turned out to be edible... hahahaha...

 

[momocharz]

hey sailormoon, good morning!

your reno considered completely finished le ah?

Since it's successful, must be nice and fun! hee...
I think it must be a different feeling to have our own party at our own house, like a sense of belonging at last! A lot of first time, first time celebrate xmas at new house, first time celebrate birthday at new house, first time you prepare things as a "WIFE" hor!! but, I dun like the cleaning part after guests left..

This thread machiam like our own chat corner liao... kekeke..

 

[lightz]
