the sweetest present of all...

we officially got our home keys yesterday - boxing day!!! that is the day after christmas when traditionally people open up all their gifts and unveil the exciting presents wrapped in them... although now we dont have sooo many gifts to open that we cant open them on the day we receive them... =Pp

so yeah!!! it's the bestest best present we have received so far, thank God for this! ^_^

our potential contractor told us it is very possible to finish renovation before chinese new year (he finished renovating a home within 10 days) and that is extremely tempting... but we want to make wise decisions cos this is for a home, not just buying some book/shoes/etc... the materials, colors, texture, furniture, etc chosen would have to stay with us for at least 5 years or even much more, so we don't want to rush into anything...

but it is all so exciting!!!!! speaking to a few contractors/interior designers, learning from them, going through the quotations, buying interior design magazines and getting ideas, designing our own place (cos we decided not to go with the ID who would cost us 10k more), going to see the tiles... and so many many more things to do!!!!!

though we are unsure of what is ahead of us, one thing we know, God is with us and will guide us as long as we are sensitive to His voice... so excited to do up our home together!!! =))) will let you all know when we firm up the dates to start work and finally to shift in ^_^

next week is another shiok week!!!!! woohoo!!!!!~~~
