The Big Big move-in
Sunday, August 06, 2006
OOOoooo we've finally officially moved into our new home.. i love my new house!!!
103 Coastal Woods Circle,
Kittery, Maine
United States of America 03904
Really glad all the hard work of searching the newspaper, calling, making appts, viewing hses everyday ended off well. Been learning something new here everyday.. like reading the map (i'm a total direction idiot last time), finding apts, planning the move-in, budgeting.. the list just goes on.. oh yes we have to pump petrol into the car ourselves!
Okay so after some confusion (yea was a real headache..-_-"), we got to view this hse in Kittery, which is another state, just like New Hampshire's also a state.
We were enthralled when we saw this hse.. it's soooo many times nicer than ALL the rest we've seen and the price was rather reasonable.. Has 5 bedrooms, 3 toilets, 1 living room, 1 kitchen, 1 porch area and 1 garage. All carpetted and the paint looks new. Even the toilets look hotel-styled. Got to get and pay for electricity, gas and water though.. This one really got to thank the guys for securing the appointment for this hse, so that the 7 of us can stay together in this big n spacious place... we can even play baseball and frisbee outside in the carpark. Even the surronding serenity has drawn me to have the urge to start jogging regularly.. something i've not done ever since i had my last NAPFA test in JC2 -_-".
For the rooming, SC and Ben in 1 room are on the 2nd floor, WY and Alexan are in 1 room on the 3rd floor & me, melis and SM each occupy 1 room on the 3rd floor. Haha the 3 of us drew lots to select our own room, in the end i got the one facing the trees, hehe good thing melis dun mind so swapped with me and i got the brighter (but smallest) room.
Then came the paying of 3 mths worth of rent (yes.. i'm broke), buying of furniture ^^, cleaning up n moving in. I'm impressed.. we are so damn efficient! Though really v tiring, but all of us were really cooperative (yes.. i must give 2 thumbs up for the guys here..) and it took us just 2 days to settle everything.
How can i forget abt our treasurer cum spiderman WY, with his breathtaking stunt.. haha to suck out the cobwebs made by his competitors.. haha..
And we even drove back our own matteresses (7 in all..) in order to save the tpt n taxes..
Taken from inside the car.. mattress was tied on top.. was quite scary cos the winds were rather strong on the highways. We were so scared if the mattress shld slid backwards. So lak seh to have to go down n pick it up.. haha. Were horned by some cars too.. apparently the mattresses flipped backwards a bit so they were afraid if the whole thing will fly onto their car.. o_O What an adventure.Finally today, we moved all our barang barang from the hotel. Thank God again for the guys haha.. for helping us with the luggages.. wah liew one of my bag is like 27kg lo.. (yea was fined at the airport..). Yea.. i can finally open up all my luggages and locate all my "missing items". And i realised i bought quite a few unnessary things (like 5 bath towels..) and forgot to bring along so many other impt things!!! (hmmm how on earth then did i exceed the weight limit..)
Tutu finally has a home!Wah i love my room can.. haha mine's the pink theme.. See the curtains.. I cut and sewed the top part of the curtains to fit the rod cos the loops were too long initially. The "table" Tutu's lying on is actually my large check-in luggage bag, drapped with that pink piece of cloth.
Design coutesy of Melis.
Ya la Melis, li xiang gao la.. haha.. Yepz and Melis's room's green n blue, SM's simple with purple and pink, the guys's rooms mainly has a
Zen design (according to them.. ahha).
One
bad thing is that we currently have
no hot water! Bathed in the
icy cold water after a game of frisbee.. regretted sweating it out..-_-". Was practically running in and out of the cold water while bathing. Looks like i won't be doing any running either till we have hot water too.. ^^. The weather here is hot during the day (but it has become better, not as hot as last wk when temperatures soared to 95 degrees farenheit), and gets quite cold at night.
Just had a game of bridge and Zeus with the rest.. hehz sure doesn't feel like we are starting work tml! Hope i won't fall asleep when they start trying to feed us with too many new scientific terms and theories. Yawnzzz.
