Visited VivoCity yesterday afternoon & we had our lunch at the Subway outlet there..

It was an afternoon of shopping @ VivoCity, followed by a trip down to Audiohouse @ Liang Court..

And we finally purchased a 42" inch latest LG Full HD Hard Panel LED LCD TV from Audiohouse for our new house's living room! :)

Bought a 22' inch one for our bedroom a few weeks back..

So there's 2 TVs in our new house.. :)

That evening, my mum, aunt & grandma came by to visit our new house & were very impressed by how huge it is! :)

After which we all went for dinner together at Fuli Seafood @ Hougang :)

Speaking of food...

This afternoon, I visited the ever-popular 328 Katong Laksa shop located along East Coast Road..

Had their hot, steamy, yummy, Laksa & Otah for lunch on a cold, rainy day..

Lovely! :)

I also happened to be @ East Coast Road this morning cos' I was there for an appointment

Before I left her office, she gave me this..

A HUGE "diamond ring"!!!

Wahahaha!!! ;D

A "Thank You" gift..

It's actually a Crystal Key Ring.. :)

Sweet... :)

The person who gave me this is the director of an advertising firm for wedding magazines, wedding shows etc..

So doesn't the above gift look familiar... like a "door gift" or "thank you gift" one receives at weddings?!

Cool, right? :)

That afternoon, I visited The Mattress Centre to check out mattresses for our new home!

We bought a queen sized Sleeptronics mattress, 2 single sized mattresses for the boys, 1 King Koil Therafirm Pillow, 1 Sleeptronic Memory Foam Pillow & 2 fibre pillows in total!

The sales lady decided to give us the King Koil Therafirm Pillow & the Sleeptronic Memory Foam Pillow as complimentary free gifts! :)

So nice of her! :)

It all amounted to more than a thousand dollars.. :P

All that we bought will be delivered to our new home on Wednesday evening.. :)

On half day leave yesterday! :)

Was on half day leave yesterday & went up to our new home because a few pieces of furniture were to be delivered to our new house.. :)

It was such an awesome feeling spending half a day resting @ our new home.. :)

Home Sweet Home.. :)

When I arrived..

Our new dark wood TV console & our new dark wood coffee table just arrived @ our new home! :)

Then 2 hours later..

Our new black leather L-shaped sofa also arrived!

Lovely! :)

Super comfy.. Love the feeling of resting on it & looking out of the windows, enjoying the view outside.. :)

Our dark wood dining table was a gift from a friend - Weston.. :)

"Hello earthlings! We have migrated from Cybertron & have landed on a small beautiful island on earth by the name of Singapore! We are currently putting up our residence @ Compassvale Beacon!" says Optimus Prime, Iron Hide, Starscream & Bumblebee..

*Hey! I thought Iron Hide & Starscream's dead!!!* LOL.. :p

Vain me..

LOL..
My hair is getting so long that I can tuck them behind my ears.. It's time for a haircut!

Hmm.. Should I trim them as always or grow them long?

I used to have super long hair years ago..

Can't imagine myself with long hair again! :/

As I was bathing @ our new home, I took a closer look & realized that these interesting looking tiles in our new house's bathrooms are actually made of glass!

That afternoon, I also stopped by McDonald's @ Rivervale Plaza which is just across the road from my residences..

Happy Meal time again!!! ;D

This week's toy train design that comes free with a McDonald's Happy Meal..

Again my boys will be elated.. :)

This is the 2nd design so far.. Gonna collect all four for them.. :)

This week's Hello Kitty watch design that comes free with a McDonald's Happy Meal.. ;)

Random photos from the weekend.. :)

Knocked off early from work at 4 plus pm on Friday, thus I dropped by the nearest McDonald's outlet @ Boat Quay & purchased 2 set of Happy Meals!

I also had a McDonald's Happy Meal set for lunch that day..

So why the sudden craze for Happy Meals???!!!

Here's the reason why...

It is because of the toy trains that came with it! :)

Both the boys love trains, thus I bought the meals, which of course, came with the free toy, just for them! :)

Stickers included.. :)


The completed product after I had pasted the stickers! ;)

Bought a Happy Meal for myself too & even though I'm not a Hello Kitty fan, I accepted the free Hello Kitty watch that comes with it because of its color!

Red & White!

National Day's round the corner!

Happy Birthday, Singapore! :D

I also tried these during the weekend.. :)

Magnum Mini Liquorice Irish Cream & Limoncello! :)

Yummy!

Magnum Mini Liquorice Limoncello..

Magnum Mini Liquorice Irish Cream..

Also visited Denny's shop - Popcornpop @ Esplanade Mall on Saturday afternoon..

We were there to purchase these..

The Polar Express movie poster!

The boys' favourite movie.. (In fact, they have a few favourites..)

Bought this movie poster & (changeable) frame from Popcornpop..

Gonna hang it in our new house..

So coincidentally, the color of the poster matches our house curtains!

Thank you, Denny, for the discount! :)

Here's another one of our boys' favourite movies.. (In fact, they have a few favourites..)

Toy Story 3!

Bought the (changeable) frame from Popcornpop too..

Gonna hang it in our new house, together with The Polar Express movie poster..

Thank you once again, Denny, for the poster & for the discount! :)

The long awaited sneak peeks (pics) of our new house @ Compassvale Beacon. This is our 2nd new house in Sengkang!







Service Yard after the kitchen..

Bathroom tiles..

Interesting designs..


All water pipes can't be seen as all are hidden under false ceilings such as these..

Bathroom mirror in our master bedroom bathroom..

We chose this design to match the bathroom tiles..

Bathroom mirror in our common bathroom..

It's fixed lower specially for the boys..

Water Heaters were fixed some time back..

Living Room Ceiling Lights fixed & so are our house's window grilles..

Specially ordered for these made-to-measure "Doraemon blue" curtains as blue is my favourite color!



Our kitchen..

Everything's ebony & ivory..

Black & white..

Beautiful.. :)

The dish drying metal rack is hidden behind the black panel above the sink..

Cool design.. :)

The contractor did it wrongly at first & it was not the design we wanted..

We insisted he amended it, which he did..

Our fridge, so coincidentally, is white as well..

Our hob..

Guess why I chose this color & design?

Look closely..

The black surface has colorful specks on it! LOL.. :p

Our Kitchen Ceiling Light..

These beat those ugly-looking colorful bamboo poles used for hanging clothes to dry anytime! LOL.. :p

Vanity mirror by the main door..

Given by my aunt & it'll come in very useful for vain people like me to take a peep at ourselves before we step out of the house! LOL.. :p
