The First Week

So we’ve moved into our new home, and over the past week or so, it’s taking shape. The curtain man came in over the weekend to install the drapes and blinds so we don’t wake up at 6am anymore, and we’ve started stocking up the kitchen with some decent food and the necessary apparatus to prepare them. There are still some inconveniences here and there that need to be fixed, and we haven’t entirely moved all our stuff from our parents’, but I’m sure it’ll work out slowly somehow.

Sorry, can’t post any pics at the mo, cos there’s no internet connection at home, and I’m posting via email on the blackberry. But we’ll hopefully fix that tonight when I get the router.

On a separate note, the haze has been really depressing. We woke up on Sunday morning feeling like we were in Genting Highlands when we looked out the window. Comfortably ensconced in our air-conditioned room, wrapped between luscious sheets and looking out the window to Fort Canning, it looked like mist, but as soon as we opened the windows, the sharp smell of smoke hit us. It was so bad, the PSI reading hit 140 by late afternoon, and we couldn’t even see Swissotel. We really need some rain here…
