The obligatory pineapple roll for the new flat! Huat ar!

What a hectic month it has been! I've collected my keys to my flat last Friday.

The key collection from HDB was unfortunately marred by the incompetency of my bank loan specialist from a "neighbours first" bank. To cut a long story short, we ended up taking the HDB loan instead to prevent a delay in key collection. 

Moving on to the fun bit - Actually opening the doors of your new flat. From viewing the 3D renditions of HDB more than 3 years ago, to watching our project grow from the ground up - Finally! We get to step into our very first property. It was a very special moment for us when we stepped into our apartment.

Of course we had to do the oligatory 'pineapple roll' to bless my new flat with good fortune. (see this for an explanation - mine was a variation)
HUAT AR~~~ (Good Fortune!)





With the keys in hand, we are now beginning in earnest to do the furniture hunt. Yes, HUNT! You have to hone your bargaining skills, trust your instincts and go for the jugular! We've been making our rounds at Tai Seng, Sungei Kadut to look for furniture and bathroom wares. So far its 'all look and no buy' as we are still looking for the best deal that can fit our style and budget.
