The Move on 25th May to....a belated post

One fine morning on 25th May, got up early. Together with Lina, we went to the new house to perform the traditional 'red cloth' hanging ritual for the main door. I suppose traditions are hard to break. A ritual which is a must for some families. Might as well follow the tradition....for good luck, health, wealth...........all good things!


The front portion of the new house taken @ 6.30am


The traditional 'red cloth' hanging over the main door.



One minute, the sky is blue.



Finally, the arrival of the big stuff. Got Lina's brother, Ah Chang's help together with 7 of his worker to help carry and move those heavy stuff. 4 lorry loads! Plenty of help from her aunts and cousins. Henz and Jordan, both are a great help. Many thanks to all. Must 'belanja' all when we settle in. Note the sky, thought it would rain but it was all sun the whole day.

This is one furniture you will not find in the market! It's custom designed and made by Alan of Century Decor. Notice the square hole in the center of the table? There're 3 of these square box which can be turned over to create a flat surface. Otherwise, just leave it as it is and use it as fruit basket or some temporary storage for cutleries. And the stool, a very traditional design, too. This dining table can accomodate 12 people!

In fact, the whole house interior design is done by Century Decor. It cost a bomb for all these but it turn out very well. Very satisfied!

A few days after we moved in, an afternoon thunder storm came through. It flooded the front section of the road to the house. The developer didn't mention anything about a 'swimming pool' being included in the project. How kind of him!
