a bit of background... we( my parents) applied for the new flat 3 yrs ago... was told dat will only be ready in 2007, next yr. so ok. we take. den dunno wad happen, HDB says its ready this yr. so in jan, they send letter come tell us to take. we dun want, cos they said was only ready in next yr. so is their problem.
den delay delay until now, HDB fed-up. tell us if we dun take in nov, they cancel the flat and forfeit the 10% deposit (abt $17,500). so we took the keys and happily go and open the new house door...
a lot of rituals, must pray, roll orange and pineapple. den go in the house is quite well done... floor, windows and toilet all done up. but damn dirty. ended up we wear shoe in.
so now, nearly 1 mth after the contractors were let loose on the flat... this is wad they managed as of last wednesday...

wall was painted... this is the dinning area, just outside my sister's room... is painted red...

the sliding glass door for the kitchen... they haven install yet.. its sitting in the store room with the bikes and pails etc.
the sliding window dat we install for the service balcony... initially don have one. many people also din install... but cos going to have washing machine and the water there, we decided to install it... the clothes on it do not belong to any of us...
