new home

I've just signed the one year contract for my new home. Going to move in this May (after graduation). Father & Mother *Damsel and *Gallant joined me for the contract signing to take a look at the place.

It is a cozy executive apartment (HDB for the Sg wizen) with acceptable ceiling height, bright airy interior, marble pinkish hue floors and comfortable-for-single-girl-cooking kitchen. I've got pretty tall demands for an apartment (especially with my meager price tag) and this place I can gladly call home.

I'm practically house sitting for the family of three with the price I'm paying. They've left whatever furniture they've got for me (very few, as they have a hyperactive two-year-old that bumps into *everything hence the get-rid-of-furniture culture) and even a vacuum cleaner. It is a three bedroom place (but they're keeping the master bedroom) and I've yet to find me a room mate. Thing is, the place suits me just perfect and I just couldn't pass.

It'll be in Ang Moh Kio, a place near town and there's a park and a library merely a few minutes walk away. I've recently discovered that a few close friends live really near so there will always be dinner companions (but I will be wanting to travel further if it is for dinner with the likes of *sheer, *fongky and *jules to name a few).

Father & Mother *Damsel and *Gallant are quite impressed with the place. In fact, *Gallant seems keen to help me fix up the place with my many decoration ideas.

I'm thinking comfortable arm chairs for reading (with the lamp over the chair too, like 'em furniture catalogues), a zen like coffee table, a much bigger fishbowl for Po, pretty curtains, mirrors to open up the spaces, folding partisan, pictures, artwork and lots and lots of plants & blooms to make the best use out of the natural light that comes into the home. And at 15th floor, there's plenty of cool breeze from the unblocked scenery yet little heat from the sun.

I can't wait till it all comes together. When time comes, there will definitely be dinner parties at MY place!
