“Every house where love abides
And friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home sweet home
For there the heart can rest.”
- Henry Van Dyke

Yes, we’re moving to a new place soon! Our own place :) No it’s not a 5 bedrooms semi-D with huge lawn or anything like that (in the future, insyaAllah); just another rumah burung, but a definitely better one, and most importantly, it’s ours. Alhamdulillah.

We’re in love with the location (town area is our main criteria), the sleek look of the place, the rooftop pool and the facilities. Got our keys and waiting for the management team to rectify the structural cracks on the living hall wall. The place is totally brand-new, which means, totally empty! Nangis! Because this means we’d have to fork out our own money for the grills, kitchen cabinet, paint, wardrobe, flooring etcetera. Oooh money money money.

Everything cries out for MONEY! Oh how I wish that there were no budget limit. That’d be awesome. Hehe. It’s a good thing that the place is small; sebab lagi besar, lagi besarlah budget.

Interval - Just so you know, when I first saw my Akaun Kedua KWSP, I thank God for the years that I worked my ass off solving people’s problems, for it gives me savings yang tak sedarpun ada. Tak adalah banyak sangat, tapi at leastlah ada. KWSP rocks! Working (somewhat) rocks!

Anyways, we went to the annual Home Fair held at Persada Johor over the weekend, 3 days straight, which only goes to show how obsessively fickle we both are. But alhamdulillah, managed to place deposits for some stuffs; Floor Depot for wood flooring; they were having 60% sale! I think we may only afford to get it for the TV area, but that’s good enough for me! Tuscani for hood and stove, also on sale! The retail price is more than RM3K but we got them for only RM1999. Also managed to get new airconds for the hall and our main bedroom. And engaged Lee Siang for design and construction; their Home Fair package was ridiculously too good to pass. We’ll be meeting the designer within this week insyaAllah.

The baby on his 3rd day at the Home Fair. He behaved really well on all 3 days; maybe amused dengan terlalu banyak barang and people to look at. Hehe.

While dreaming about designs and what not have been exciting, just thinking about the physical act of moving our stuffs there is already exhausting. I can imagine how tiring it’d be to move, but thank God my MIL is near, so she can take care of the baby while we move, and my parents have promised to come over and help. Phewww.

Our new place is actually not too far from where we’re renting now but we have so many stuffs! Need to donate some of our clothes to charity (do tell me if you know any in JB area) Maybe I should start packing up stuffs to be donated. It’s a win-win situation; I get rid of clothes I can’t fit into, the poor/orphans get pre-loved clothes in good condition. Me – 1. Charity – 1. Oh might also be selling some of our stuffs so watch this space for that.

Packing. Cleaning. Unpacking. Cleaning. Oh my, oh my *shivers*
