Home Sweet Home
There are a number of chinese customs to take note of when shifting in to a new house but we skip most of it. Chinese Customs And Culture For House Moving 8 Oct 2005 -- 1. Find a suitable auspicious day and time according to Tong Shu/Sheng (The Chinese Almanac); the selection of auspicious date should take into consideration of the birth data of the family members, but priority is given to the house-owner/patriarch. **We did not check any calendar but instead we chose a...
Wedding Updates
We went for the food tasting with our family on 12 Sept 09. Thank goodness we made a reservation in otherwise there probably wont be any seats. We stepped in and found ourselves back in time to the 1930 - 1960s where nightclubs were the in thing. Everything from the lightings, tables, chairs, lamp shades, dark wood flooring were reminiscent of a typical nightclub. Pretty much like those you see on TV when Shanghai Triad was aired. Completing the picture were the live band and...
Sept's Latest Update
A busy yet happy month with lots of new addition to our house. We had great fun after we setup our broadband - MIOtv.
The next addition to our house is the laundry system we installed to hang our clothes after wash. It is much safer and it really modernize the old concept.
One of our favourite addition came in after some squeezing at the Comex is a new family member - Timba. It is somewhat like a pet that feeds on electricity, but it does sweeps our floor while we are not at...

House Updates
Our kitchen is more complete now with the electronics items and cutlery. We got some from the mega NTUC mart @ Ang Mo Kio Hub & storage containers from Ikea last week. Buying items for our home is very differnt from the usual grocery shopping, We take more notice on the functions, design and budget rather than buying on impulse. It's fun to buy and select items that we like just like piecing a mega jigsaw puzzle We also been meaning to decorate our living hall...
Hao's Update 3
Hi all, here's a small update from me. Recently we are busy with our house renovation, furniture purchase and house cleaning. On 13th Aug 2009, it was our first night at our simei home. The feeling was refreshing as it was the first time waking up with XY and going for breakfast then work together. On sat, our washing machine, fan and rice cooker arrive finally. We were very happy that Estee, Nick and Kaixi came over and visited our house. Special thanks to Kaixi for her sweet sweet...

It's starting to feel more homely with the furnitures coming in.The 6 of us were really shag by the end of the day but it feels great to see much progress. We will be staying there occassionally to give it some human presence as the Chinese 7th month is round the corner. Internet access will be up...
