my home in foreign ground

a small bungalow to ourselves, hehehaha (our housing agent say we r rich here now, since we told them onli rich ppl in sg got their own yard) I cant be bother w that much lawn moving, but will kena fine... ass come here to be gardeners. i counted the rooms we have, three of them.. this is an old estate compared to new ones (two-storey). my hubby bought those solar lamps, kinda of eerie at nite no street lamps, plus i got 2 trees one infront, one in my backyard.


we bought curtains ourselves as the house comes w/o them. the curtains are for own privacy n our hse direction got glaring sunlight shone upon us morn n evening. n simple furniture mostly from walmart. the sofa is from a second hand store, we bought cheaply. but it reali veri old, so we shop for gd sofa slip covers. end up, the covers are more ex than sofas itself.


We waited almost a wk to get our house ready. Alot of documentation work need to be done.
I must say setting up a new home is quite difficult. Everything need to buy... everyday we drove outskirt town to buy, mostly buy frm walmart. Walmart( a big supermart like our Carrefour / Giant) is our daily routine there. Here everything is tax abt 6-10% tax..... somehow like our gst, sian... nt included tips.... Now I must start cooking for our meals cos my hubby veri sick of fastfood n angmo food. Frankly speaking, i too get abit tired of eating that stuff... we had been eating out for a wk. Eating out here is nt cheap... also abt 10+ each meal, for both of us (we share, portions is big).
Here dun really got healthy eating habits... you need to watch yr diet n conscious of wat u eat. no wonder ppl so fat here...

i hope fervently there spring come faster, so cold here with that blasting cold winds. im totally ill prepared for it, cos i tot is spring time here, i even ship my winter clothes here (which takes time to arrive). *** Cross my fingers..***
