First Day Pics

Ok, some people document the first steps of their babies, we document the first day of our new home...


One of the main reasons for buying this place, the "lakeview"!! :)



View of the living room from the dining area.

Windows in the master bedroom
Kitchen...




Homeowners!!

Yay!! We finally got our keys!! :) More like we finally got our access cards and keys!! The condo comes with pretty nifty security devices, you need a access card to be able to get the lift to move to your floor...

We actually got our keys on the night of the 23rd of June, obviously we went there to celebrate us being homeowners lah... took some pictures of the nice and empty place...



So there you see us both taking photos of our new home :) HB is standing in the living room, with his back towards the windows. What he sees from that angle is shown in the photo of me standing there taking a photo of our lift door :P The dining area is behind me...

Sigh, my poor camera, something is very very wrong with my battery :( it keeps complaining of no battery even though i charge it for like 10 hours...

Today, we went back to the house to show this interior designer around. She was there to look around our place to see what she can do with it. Briana (not Briyani!! :P) looked pretty credible, so hopefully she will do a good job and give some good ideas at a good price... I think what is important to me at this point is definitely the bathrooms. I spend a lot of time in there, so its gotta look good :P The rest of the house looks really good, I am glad that the previous owners kept the place well, i only hope that we can keep it as well maintained as it is now...

Am still mulling over what i should renovate. The kitchen and yard have floor tiles that are a little bit old fashioned... So the question here is, can i live with it? Also have to decide if we want to do any extensive reno to the kitchen area, i.e. hack the wall and create some sort of glass wall so that we can see what is going on inside... hopefully, this will also allow HB to watch TV while cooking :P

We had our first visitors today :) i am going to keep a list of people who have visited us so far...

List of Visitors:

  1. Alvina
  2. Briana
  3. Karen & Eric
  4. Cecilia (housing agent)

Not too shabby for first day of homeownership, i reckon! ;p
