Amy Choon 1 Report post Posted July 20, 2010 well, you have your mum's maid too leh.. kekeke.. so lucky you too. for my first house, i clean until my back break and my hands ache. so i told hubby this time we hire help lo. keke. oh ya man, sometimes scared to come in lor. so many poisonous darts flying around! now i'm trying to siam them. haha. i think i'm gonna throw out more things during unpacking wor. so i hope after seeing more things go to waste, i will take care of my wallet more and won't buy things i don't need? well, i have only one friend who was so nice to take leave and help me do the unpacking. other than that it's just me and my hubby. oh yeah, i get what you mean. don't know where to put what, that's why my previous house is like a pig sty. so this time round, when i unpack, i will put two boxes beside, labelled "unsure" and "maybe don't need".. i will throw stuff i don't know where to pack inside these two boxes, stuff it in the store shelf, and 6 months later, if i don't need anything inside, then i dump them. wahaha.

Amy Choon 1 Report post Posted July 26, 2010 hey samgalz, not so good wor. actually supposed to move in my boxes in storage last Thurs, so that I can unpack on Friday. In the end, my house still doing carpentry on Friday lor. all my plans haywire. kitchen counter top done in the wrong colour and they will only be back to change tomorrow and because of this, they didn't install my kitchen tap too. I already moved in officially on Sat. I can't unpack properly cos some of the carpentry still not done. very inconvenient. but it sure is good to have my own place after a few months. been staying at rented for the past 5 months. lounging in my hall watching tv and falling asleep is such a luxury. keke.
