All I can think about is our new apartment. I spent the whole day while on call dreaming about my new flat. At least while walking in between the wards. We bought a coffee table last weekend but have not made any other major purchases. I called my father’s cousin who is a contractor to come and fix up the lights after we get the key. Speaking to him is like talking to my father, he’s warm and really caring. The flat is in move in condition with all the finishes done including cupboards, cabinets and air conditioners. We are just going to do the lights, fix the fans (u know how it feels to live in a tropical country) and put in some floor to ceiling full length mirrors to give the illusion of space! The curtain guy will come soon to fix up the blinds in the bedrooms and simple full length curtains in the living room. We are lucky enough to have a few offers from family to fix up the place. My parents are going to buy my living room carpet, I love Persian rugs. Grandma will get our fridge and dining set and mom in law our bed. You can check out the other blog for updates.
I want my dining table to be the color of driftwood like the one above from simply breakfast. I was really sad to hear that the blog will end at the end of the year! On a happier note, chockylit of cupcake bakeshop is back with a new blog!
I’m off work on New Year’s Day and Eve! I’ll be haing breakfast at Jones the Grocer with Quizas tomorrow, she’s off after working the night shift at the Children’s Emergency tonight.
Congrats on getting the keys to your new home, Farhan! It must be all incredibly exciting!
I was just at Jones the Grocer this afternoon after a fantastic lunch at Au Petit Salut- love the foie gras and duck leg confit there!- and couldn’t help but drool over the variety of cheeses they have. Anyway yay to Chockylit’s new blog. Thanks for sharing that!
What a great way to start your New Year with! Congrats on your new apartment.. I’m sure you’ve lots of fun renovating it
I finally went to buy some vanilla pods yesterday at Chip Bee Gardens. I kinda detoured to Pantry Magic before hitting the Poon Huat branch there. And was shocked to find out EACH VANILLA POD at Pantry Magic was selling at $15! *faintzz* so ate my humble pie, stepped out and went into Poon Huat as quickly as my steps could take me. heehee..
Going to make some home-made vanilla ice cream just by hand-stirring and double cream. Wish me luck!
Happy New Year to you and may it be filled with lots of mouthwatering spread and healthy people
Congrats on getting the keys to your new flat! I can’t wait to see how you’re gonna do up your new place. Don’t forget to post up photos
Happy New Year to you and H! May the new year bring greater joy to you both
Laureen: I love the high ceilings at Jones, it gives me a sense of space. wow, all that dining must be expensive, hope someone nice has been footing the bill
Brenda: you gotta be kidding me!!! Anyway its cheaper and organic at Mustafa then Phoon Huat. But Phoon Huat is still good value. Can’t wait to see your vanilla ice cream! Will it be an egg based recipe?
Zhullie: Thank you!! Remember u’re invited when its ready!
