Single Orphan Buying 1St Home

[sherting 5]

It was a crazy 2012 for me.

Still can't believe I have my own house at the age of 26.

And I don't have to be married to own a house.

Or wait for 35.

Bonus was not too bad for me. A slight 0.03 drop.

But nonetheless, I'm grateful.

Went to Ikea the other week to get Stenstorp Kitchen Island.

Waited for my friend to come back from Maternity Leave.

So I got 15% discount!

May I know what card entitles to 15% discount at Ikea? Staff purchase card?

Had to remove my bicycle pole to make way for the island.

Wanted to put it in the middle of the kitchen, but doesn't look good.

And recently, there was an upgrading. It is still ongoing.

They changed the waste pipe, door, gate (optional).

I love how it looks. A little like condo.

Door cost me $50. Wrought iron gate cost $55.

Oh, I also bought TV console from VHive. Cost me $368.

Not much option for me.

I wanted a white console, must be 180cm long, and cheap.

And this is the cheapest. I want to get ikea ones.

But I have to bring home and assemble. So lazy.

Vhive have free delivery and installation. *Thumbs up!*

I got myself a 42" 3D Full HD Smart TV.

Cost less than $1100 from Harvey Norman.

Then added the extended warranty. That cost about $270++.

I also top up $199 for the sound bar and sub woofer.

That also put extended warranty.

All in all, my entertainment set cost me: $1441.

Don't ask me about the maths. But it's a good deal!

Comes with 4 3D glasses.

Watched Transformers 2. I tell you, Megan Fox's *** and breasts really round round one.

I also got a projector screen. Not sure if you can see from the above photo.

There is a screen over the TV on the ceiling.

To buy list:

1. TV Console

2. 47" LED 3D SMART TV

3. Coffee Table

4. Mirrors for the Bath rooms

5. Microwave Oven

6. Rice Cooker

7. Wardrobes

8. Bed Frames

9. Projector

10. Volkswagen Beetle (Lol)

So long never update here.

Well... I've bought a projector for my house. So can watch movie on the big screen. Too bad cannot play my 3D movies. If I want to watch 3D movie, then just watch on my TV loh.

This is me watching Life of Pi...

Now you see it...

Now you don't...

Anyway, who thinks my bed is too small for me?

When I have people over, they ask me how do I sleep on this bed?

I'm not that tall, so why need to get a bigger bed... Haha

Sorry for not updating my T-blog in a very long time.

Loving the life, man.

About 2 weeks ago, I bought a Cosmo 7ft Pool table from New Nyew.

Got it at a very good deal of $500.

Thank you!

The table first hand cost $1300.

Then I bought the dining top from Ron of Pool World.

That's another $200.

End of this month, I'll be getting 2 benches from Ikea.

Woohoo! Can't wait for that.

You know, I have spent all my savings. And every month, when pay day comes...OMG.

I just buy more things!

Really living the life. Have to start my savings from scratch now.

So many more things I haven't buy.

1. TV Console

2. 47" LED 3D SMART TV

3. Coffee Table

4. Mirrors for the Bath rooms

5. Microwave Oven

6. Rice Cooker

7. Wardrobes

8. Bed Frames

Hi Sarah,

Yeah, I am proud of myself… To-buy list left with Rice Cooker and Volkswagen Beetle only. Lol.

You must be thinking, RICE COOKER?!! Yeah, somebody promised to get it for me. Still waiting after 3 months.
