So we got the unit’s key at the end of last month, which was last week. Instead of rushing and move in one go, we did it step by step – luckily the new place is quite near from current one.
Here’s the progress:
- Last Saturday: clean up the whole dirty unit, just the 2 of us. Very tiring, a sign that we seldom do exercise = no stamina
- Last Sunday: paint the unit, just normal white paint, along with hubby’s friend & wife. More tiring than cleaning day, guess we all gained some muscle after that as if we had best creatine supplements.
- Last Monday: Went to Giant & Carrefour to buy some items and placed them at the new place.
- Last Tuesday: IKEA day, mainly to buy kitchen & dining items. Luckily all can fit in our sedan and no need to use their delivery service. Went back to assemble all parts together. Start to fill up the unit already.
- Last Wednesday: First, bought electronic stuffs from a shop within our area, delivered within one hour, fast service, we like! Second, bought curtains for 2 rooms, the other 2 will be from my Mum’s (our old curtains). Both of us are pretty shock with the ready-made curtain pricing, so expensive, let alone the custom-made one.
- Thursday/today: Went to buy more items from Carrefour.
Things are shaping up nicely. We’re moving the small size stuffs like books, office stationery etc day by day. Now waiting to move the rest of the huge size stuffs there by lorry and then wait for internet service. Our back-up P1 doesn’t work well there, so slow like dial-up, major turn down.
