fifteenmay 40 Report post Posted September 26, 2010 Today, went down to FV - did alot of things 1. officially join the mopping and cleaning club - cleaned all day, now back aching liao, tomorrow continue - I standby 2 sets of broom and mop, but luckily, not broken yet 2. officially made FULL payment to contractor, even though there are still work pending. After thinking through and through, we are comfortable that contractor can be trusted, so made full payment. 3. was expecting delivery today, with timing staggered. However, no one turned up at their scheduled timing. BUT all decided to show up after 6pm - so it was somewhat chaotic, having 3 groups of deliveries together - * Brandt washer and dryer * 1 Queen storage bedframe and 2 singles * Girls' study tables, computer table, wardrobe, bookshelf, mattresses - this is the BIG one! Despite being late, all 3 installation went through smoothly. Staff were very courteous and apologetic, everything done up nicely, so we are a bunch of happy folks today ! 4. Bought pineapple and oranges .. get ready to HUAT AH! tomorrow! Tomorrow will be another tiring day - mover coming in the morning, expect to be packing, packing, packing, and cleaning, cleaning, cleaning till Sunday - Singtel will be coming to do line relocation Monday - TV, curtain, Hyflux delivery and installation and my house will be complete! albeit short of the living hall furnishing .. 2 months wait, but never mind, we can enjoy the cool cool marble first! Congrats congrats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember not to strain ur back and drinks lots of water. ha ha .. very true about walking around FREELY! We love the new place, very cosy even though still got things not done. But yet to start cooking leh, so it's still eat out, coming to 4 months already. imagine the amt of wei jin in our bodies now! thanks thanks .. luckily we got mover .. was intially contemplating moving ourselves! I could pack easily and carry boxes fully laden with stuff few months back, but now I feel so easily exhausted - hiaz, must be getting old liao! gulp, gulp, good thing you reminded me about water - I always forget to drink - would you believe this? Sometimes I only drink at meal time, so that's 3 cups of kopi-o per day, and that's it. Hubby thinks I'm a camel .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

froggy 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2010 Last evening, wanted to try to take the LRT to Compasspoint for dinner. OMG, so super confusing leh?!?!? Went up the platform, don't know train coming from platform 1 or 2?? Luckily, one kind soul explained to us that one platform is taking route in clockwise direction, and the other anti clockwise. So ok, we managed to get to Compasspoint after some wait. Wah, come back is really classic! Even more confusing - now not just platform 1 and 2, some more got east and west loop? Took us quite a while to reaslise that ours is west loop - suaku lah! But there is no blxxxy signage! Then macham like chasing the train -- went to platform 1, saw train going to east loop. ok, we thought wait for next train, but still east loop!!! Then heard announcement that train coming, waited but none came, only to realise that it has departed on the other platform - and that's the west loop train!?!?! Very jia lat - think the direction signage got to be improved, if not first timers sure to be caught!! In the end, we just stood in the middle and have to look at both platforms to see which one has the west loop train approaching. But I think I will still face the same prob next time, still unable to understand?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I think I will still face the same prob next time, still unable to understand?? haha.. it's normal. the 1st time i took oso confuse. before 3pm the train is wat loop at which platform, after 3pm another pattern. then like u say lor, wait here train no come, turn my head saw a train juz left and realise i missed it liao. haha.. but now ok la, juz look out for the red wordings which is the west loop, and remember to stand at a place where u can c both directions! lol.. ** as long it's west loop can liao. cos clockwise or counter clockwise, it's onli a diff of 1 stop.

fifteenmay 40 Report post Posted September 29, 2010 The prob isthat fernvale can take both sides cos distance almost e same.both 4stops..but I think the west loop renjong comes more often and is abit faster,so I always wait at1 platform only. Go work always take lrt from the platform left when enter stay Toon.trains come more frequent.1st time I take also blur even took wrong train before!!

gals_mama 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2010 Last time when i used to stay near tongkang station, i always check the time. Leave hse at ard 1 plus to take shorter route to compass point. Then i will take lunch, buy grocery and stuff to cook for dinner then take the train just after 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
