Dad 61th birthday
Today is dad's birthday and we arrange to have dinner at the famous chicken rice steamboat at Golden Mile. Dad is a very traditional man and he doesn't fancy other cusine except chinese food. So we decided on this place. We had been patronizing this shop since I am in my primary school days. 20 over years and no change in quality of food! Tons of memories with my family there...... Now my turn bringing my children there. Lol!
Photos with the boys favourite GongGong and MahMah. =)
My loves!!!

Defect check.
This is crazy....
So much defects that it took us 1 whole day to check and still not complete...
Maybe we are too detailed... Every little things also mark as defect. Way before I collected my keys, I had been closely following our BTO FB group on the defects our fellow neighbours found. They are so nice that they even drafted out a copy of defect list and save in our group for our reference and this certainly helps a lot.
What makes me to be this detail in checking is because for this amount of money I paid, I had to make sure I'm getting quality work.
Adding on, BSC (Building Services Centre) which is located right under 1 of the blocks for this project will only be for a certain period of time. During this period of time, any defect I found, I can just WALKED over to submit and check status. So if there's any issue after they leave, I can only report to HDB and I believe it will takes them ages to retify.
Lots of defects photo I've taken and it is obviously a defect and HDB officer APPROVED them. #rolleyes

Family Carnival Day.
Busy weekend!
Lervin has family carnival today and he need to reach the school by 10am.
Leroy has his enrichment class today and it is at 10am too! How to split both of us into 2?!?!
So the hus drop me and Lervin at the school and he will send Leroy to his class and than pick Leroy up at 11.30am and back to the school to meet us. Very rush morning but that didn't affect our mood as my baby boy will be having a small performance for the parents. So proud of him!
But before the performance start, there's games and snacks for the children as it's family carnival day! Didn't take much photos as it's really very crowded.

Restaurant : Lai Wah
Gotten our bonus and colleagues arrange to have a very sumptuous dinner here!
Had been staying around that area for 8 years and I always pass by this place but I didn't know that this restaurant actually serves traditional and authentic Cantonese Chinese cuisine. It just looks like a very plain and dated eating house from outside
A table of 10pax that cost almost 1k which consist of 佛跳墙 and a few side dish.
It's very rare that I'm willingly to pay so much for a meal and I actually hesitate for quite sometime before I decided to join them. Reason is it's very near my home and I've never tried it before. Perhaps I can bring my family there if it's nice. =)
Total 3 layers with each layer of different exquisite taste and top grade ingredients!
Here's the first layer.
The 2nd layer
The 3rd layer. By this time we are already so full!
Side dish with is part of the dish from set meal and this is really nice!

Electrolux fair
The 1st appliance buy from Electrolux.
Had been contemplating if I should get this brand of washer. Considering this is an investment for long term purpose, I wouldn't mind to spend a little more on it if it's really worth it.
So I did some survey and ask around those who are using. All giving greenlight and I bought it at a pretty good deal! Delivery to be end of August! =)
Gotten a vaccumn cleaner as well since the offer is really good!
Bit by bit to form up our HSM !

The first 'Opening Door'
Finally this day has come!!!
During these 3 years of waiting for the project to be complete, we had drove here umpteen times to look at the construction progress. Level by level and only able to view from a distance by the roadside. But today, holding the keys to our place, we are going in for the first time! How exciting this is and I believe all new home owners will definitely understand how we feel!!!
We had got the date and time 'calculated'. Today is the 'opening door' date and we have to do all the offerings and leave the home by 2pm. It's quite a happening day as there's quite a crowd with us. Good as it means "人气旺" =)
Now for the process.
We have to step aside after opening the door meaning do not stand in the middle of the walkway. This is to let whatever 'things' inside to leave the place.
Rolling of pineapple. This has been a practice for many generations when they first open the door of a new house. Rolling in of a pineapple or "Ong" (Prosperity) sounds like rolling luck into the home! Shouted 'Huat Ah' when doing this procedures. I was laughing away then!
Start to doing the prayer etc....
Oh ya! Remember to keep your mind calm and say only speak positive words!
Took a video while hus roll the pineapple in but I had yet to upload. Will post a follow up post!

Waited 3 Yrs For This!
Busy settling the investment thing for the past week! Due to some issue, we didnt submit our investment on time and thus I have to keep making calls to bank, cpf and investment coy. But thank God! Everything settled by thursday and I can proceed for key collection today!!
While waiting for our no. to be called, was telling hus this had been a long wait and him holding my hands and said 'this is all worth it.' Awwwww........
No. called and we are told to proceed to level 2 to buy the flat insurance and back here again for the signing of agreement. Tons of papers to sign...... after confirming the loan period, looking at our cpf once more... and we sign on that dotted line that will make us be in debt for the next 20yrs + cpf all swipe out!!!!
