It has been a crazy month getting the house ready for CNY. For some reason, close friends keep asking if they can come to our house. We hosted the first group of friends last week, it was fun and exhausting. I did an 8 course dinner for 11 pax. Most of the food turned cold and everyone couldn't eat at the same time as there was an ongoing mahjong game.
Good experience though. 2nd batch of friends this week, going to take it slow, so we are having steamboat!
Looking forward!

Closer to a real home...
We moved in on 31st Dec 2011. Yes, New Year's Eve.
Unfortunately, most of my carpentry were done halfway, hence, we couldn't unpack. There were delays and hiccups, furniture delay, and worst of all, they forgot to wire up the storage heater. Almost had to shower in cold water on NYE. Lucky for me, toot, not wanting the last day of 2011 to be miserable, we bought a pail and boiled hot water to shower. Very kampung style.
Anyway, here are the unfinished stuffs, lots of touch up to do. Amazingly, I have not really flared up with the contractor. We are flying off to Taipei tomorrow, everything will be completed by today and they will do the touch up next week. I hope all goes well!
