weekend sat..

was pretty tired after a full week of moving stuff.. at least now my basement is 90% cleared!!! great achivement i must say... one person moving...

a beetle of a colleague from SGP.. lol.. wanted to post in FB to comment about how she parked.. decided i will do it later..


Weekend Sunrise... taken from our current rental place we are staying now..


came upon this trucks on trucks method to tow... unique..!!



snow flurries.. and asked Marcus for a pic... he does not smile!!!



This was amazing...the price i paid for this item ... we were looking around for a piece of ceiling light for the Living room as this was the only room which did not have a standard light.. it came with a switched outlet.. but the builder told me they could throw in a light box instead of a switched outlet.. we went along with the light box. They had only a normal light bulb holder installed... we had to get our own lighting.

Went to Lowes and HomeDepot .. and found what i was looking for at Home Depot... the offer price tag of ~7.50 was like a fair price to me to pay ..so i took the ceiling light happily to the cashier plus a drain tray for the washer... guess what happen when the cashier scanned the price of the light.. it came out to be 1 penny!!! ... i was like WTF.. and the cashier says.. it seems to be 1 penny... i replied.. sure thats a good price...



Shovel we picked out from Target.. for the coming winter season... normal 29,90.. cleared at 70% off.. came out to ~9USD


The washer and dryer was delivered on Sat afternoon and guess what when the guys were installing they asked me did i get the 4prong wire for the dryer.. i said No.. i tot its suppose to come with.. they say no.. you have to get it when you order or i can go to Lowes to buy it...so i was like ok... and also the flexible exhaust tubing for the dryer.. i had to get it too.


The SS fridge... had to get a water hose for the water to be connected to the fridge from the wall outlet.. again this was a item you had to pay separately..strange without these items.. the actual appliances will not work...

Watercolored pic of the house

a nice gesture from the bank, they presented this watercolored painting to us when we did the closing... tot we still owe them money for the mortgage , but it was a nice gesture.

Pics of the new place

We received the keys on Monday Feb 13.. and we have been moving stuff daily on our own.. till next sat... getting office ppl to help me with the bulky items..

So enough of talk.. pics first... items that we moved after Tuesday night... but now if you take another look at it.. its filled with items..That little corner there on the right is filled up now.. i will need time to re pack some of these boxes seriously... i have lots of stuff.




Pics of the house now... upon entering fromt he Garage , you come into the Laundry room , where our dryer / washer will be installed..


Upon exiting the Laundry Rm , you will see the stairs going up to second level rooms.


Going past the stairs , you will come upon the corridor to the kitchen/family room at the rear.


Here you can see the main entrance the the coat closet.. the doorway from the Laundry Room is on the right of the closet..


The Living Room , need to change that bulb holder to a ceiling light so its more presentable... this was the only room which did not have a STD light fixture. The entry way you see there is the entry way to the dinning room.

Running the fireplace to ensure its working fine..


The corridor to the main entrance from the Kitchen.. Door on the right is the basement entry.. and door on the left is the Kitchen's pantry.


The 1/2 bath on the 1st floor.


Now lets venture downwards.. to the Basement... the doorway to the basement... i plan to finish this area up in Spring / Summer.. a lot of work to do.. but i have a rough idea of what i want to get end of the day.


Various views of the basement.. not going to be go too much into this.. just look at the pics and you will roughly able to estimate how big the basement is.






Onto Second floor!!!.. the view from the second floor down to 1st floor.


Our corridors to the rooms


The 3 bedrooms , Marcus's rm on the right , Rachel's room in front and Spare Guest rm on the left, for relatives when they are visiting.


Marcus's room .. its bigger than what he is sleeping in now where he is sharing with Rachel.. he is excited about having his own room.


Rachel's rm.. she too is excited.. but not too worry we have CCTV cams in all rooms


Spare Room cum Guest room


turning around... Left to right , Master room entry , Closet outside Main bath and Main Bath entry


Main bath on the second floor... i need to have the border of the mirror and window frames colored to a rose cherry color to match the cabinets.



Master Room .. this room is much bigger than our MasterRoom back home..


Another view taken from the corner of the master room


Master Room closet..not huge but its enough.


View of the Master Room from the closet..


Master room bath sorry for the blurry pics... my hands were shaky. I have to do the same thing to the border of the mirror and window frames.



Small closet in the Master Room Bath..
