Good Tidings..............

I got a letter from Sunway saying that the house is completed and the house key is ready to be collected. I couldn't believe it at first. So fast? but I was overjoyed, really really was happy. Sometimes we wouldn't realize how happy we would be about matters like this. When I booked the house, I was like, yeah..a house, where am I going to find money to pay and all those things, but as the house builds up and taking up shapes, it all turns into excitement.
And when you finally receive a letter requesting to collect the key, the financial problems seems too small, it worth every damn penny I am paying, if owning a own house feels like this!

Well, apart from that, when I came to office at the evening (nite shift), my team lead told me another good news. Hmmmm seems like my career going one right path after all. I can't disclose the proposition here as it is not confirmed yet, but I am happy nevertheless. I was worried after I left my previous job to this one. I was wondering whether I am making a right decision. Leaving a 8-5 job to a shift work. And I was wondering until when I need to do shift work, it seems SO routine, same old thing over and over again. And don't have to wonder no more I guess. I am happier here, away from "Mount Doom" (that's what we call the dept in my previous company, away from evil Souron...) any place other than Mount Doom is a better place.

Well back to the house, we have booked for the kitchen cabinet, and got a quotation for plaster ceiling and there are tones of works to be done................. yipppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obsessions...

I have problem with obsessions, when I am interested in something, I really becomes obsessed with it until that's all I'll be thinking about. Gym, cooking, gardening... to name a few. The latest addition to the list would be house interior design. It is started when I and wife found out that our house is completed, and only waiting for CF and the key. We are not sure when we will get the key, the agreement says it is before Feb 06, but the house was launched on Oct, so I guess it must be sooner than later.

It's time. We need to start acting, no more empty 'surveying' in the shopping complex, it is time to put all our knowledge we gather in the form of quotations. My wife is the one so 'beria-ria' doing all this. But now I have taken her place. She complained a lot that I don't care so much about the house thing, but she has created a monster!!! And there is no stopping me now.

But the house is ALL I could think about now. Every page I turned in the newspaper, my eyes will scan for any furniture, kitchen cabinet or bathroom or anything related to house promotion adverts. Anjung Seri suddenly seems like a very good magazine to read.

I think this is a good obsession; at least I am spending time (and money) in something useful and long term. And it really gives a fulfillment investing in real estate. I really really can't wait to move in to our new house. I have SO many ideas now that I need to write down everything or else I'll forget everything.

Well, we first is to do Kitchen Cabinet first. We got few quotations already. And one seems really promising. We bought a hood and a hob for our kitchen cabinet, since we got a really good offer from Home One and Maybank, a real bargain that I am really happy. We also bough light for dining room since it was so gorgeous, even we haven't figure out the lighting scheme at that moment.

We are thinking of Modern /Cosmopolitan /Contemporary concept with a little (tiny) touch of Oriental taste. Well lets see how's that turns out, well, it mainly depends on one thing...budget. Wish that Casa Impian will throw me a free house make over…. Well one can always wish right?
