Our new house~

We finally collected the keys to our new house (on 21 February)..

Headed down to hdb office early, signed our cpf savings away, and collected this bunch of keys packed in a pretty cool organiser.. The day we became proud owners (or permanent tenants for 99 years =p) of this humble unit tucked in the east of Singapore~

There.. Can you see where Mr. Koh is pointing at..

We entered the house excitedly and did what most couples would do.. We rolled our beautiful ong lye (pineapple) and Huat kueh (how do you translate that? Haha self raising cake? =p), as part of the house warming ritual, upon entry to our new house.. Haha

Ong lye and Huat kueh.. Huat ah!

As part of the ritual, there were other things we did too.. Which was to sprinkle some items all over the house.. salt (to 'cleanse'), green beans (to 'sprout' for house full of kids and grand kids in future) - which it did, I mean the sprouting, but I'll share on that abit later.. Some rice too, so that we have enough to eat in future.. And tea leaves, which I'm not too sure what they signify.. Haha.. You'll be surprised that such info can be easily obtained through some internet research.. It's supposedly a belief passed from generations before~ we are not overly superstitious, but did all these to inject some fun as we entered our new home.. Rather than just plainly stepping into it.. Haha..

As usual, he got his wares ready..

A proud grown-up boy~

While he was meddling with the equipments.. I took a short stroll around~

The kitchen.. See the green beans littered everywhere =p

The view from the master bed room window.. A primary school~

Guess we'll have the kids singing the national anthem as our additional 'alarm clock' in future too.. It could also be a sign to us that we are really late for work if we are still at home when we hear them sing.. Haha

We swept the house before we call it a day.. And it was also time for our well deserved dinner~

Our first dinner at the new place =)

More updates coming up soon~
