October chills

Wahey.. I'm back!
Been to nowhere and here again... *winks*

Well just an update, I'm currently serving notice at my present company.
It's been long overdue and finally I will be on the path to higher development.
Dun get me wrong, current company is still alright but honestly I could do more with more money.
That packet of nasi goreng has probably increased by one or 2 dollars ever since I joined current company (3 years ago) but not my salary.. My salary still remained pathetically low. And sometimes I ever had to ask myself whether eating that nasi is worth it?! (Hahahah okies a bit OTT but..) How in the world is a big girl gonna ever enjoy nasi goreng again?! And I love my food, I love nasi goreng laden with lotsa "hao liao" lor (ingredients)!
Thus yeah, I'm moving on to better opportunities and higher pay. : )

More good news, I'm gonna to get my new flat soon!

BTO Punggol 21 4-Room The Probable Completion Date of your new flat is end Dec 2011. HDB will invite you to take possession of the flat when the construction of the flat is completed.

See above?! I got if off HDB website and I was really excited when I discover about the latest update.
And guess what, whilst I'm smiling crazily to myself and surfing the web for more info on my house, I discovered that the other blocks within the project are completed. And some of the owners are in the midst of renovation now!
WHAT?!
A bit more researching on the web and I realised my block is actually the last to be built thus we plus other owners will definitely be the last batch to collect their keys.
WHAT WHAT!
SO whilst other blocks could be completed in time for CNY 2012, I merely could only collecte my keys and wait until the season has passed before I could do anything. Hmmmmmmmm.......

Ehhhhhhhh kinda sucky, no?!
And the best part is even before I had gotten any keys, me and Law is like "bickering" (my term, his version is "sharing ideas") forever on how we are to do up the house. He want something along the lines of "simple and minimalist" which I do not understand. I'm no "less is more" person. I don't understand how the bare essentials could express me? I'm complex and flamboyant (I believe so, *firm nods*) and I like colors. A house is more than a space for me, it's my space (okies and Law's) so I believe we should do it in any way it pleases and reflect us. But Law's kinda resistant to brash, raw ideas. DANG!

Anyway we are still bickering or sharing ideas and taking time to research online, magazines and friends' ideas. Next up, perhaps we are considering to visit showflats and gather more inspiration. It's really tiring, having to consider a million and one factors for the house. *bleah*
Luckily Law's sister has offered to design our house. And she's an architect so I'm guessing the house will come out great! : ))
Tats.. til next time then!
