Mattress!

After some weeks shopping for a suitable mattress, we came across King Koil Serenity and Spring Air (forgot which model) during our Courts walkabout, which we both like. One cost more than 2.4k and the latter cost close to 1.8k. Just earlier this afternoon, while walking around Causeway Point, we saw Courts having renovation sale. Furniture sale! The mattress are less $380 on top of the discounted sale price. Actually I think Courts discounted prices for mattress are forever there. Anyway, we came across a comfortable mattress that is around the King Koil and Spring Air comfort level, the Sealy PosturePremier. Selling at $2299. Less $380 and is $1919. Still within our budget range, and we thought since it is a Sealy, it shouldn't go wrong. After all it feels comfortable. With a pillow top, and layered with memory foam, King size, is quite all right. Queen size is selling at $1619. King size is good for us since both of us are not the normal small size people :P comes with 2 free pillows and a mattress protector too.

Preparing for our place we call Home

Today, we went to Ikea, Courts, Giant. Went around to look for some renovation ideas and furniture price survey. Wanted to start buying furnitures but we still have not gotten our house! HDB is slow in processing our AHG. Hopefully they don't let us wait for more than 3 months for a $0 grant.
I dreamt about us gotten the AHG and Ting Ting told me that dreams are always opposite :/ No!!!
We got 2 memory pillows cos it was on sale. Well, there's a few sale in a year, but we do not know when, so might as well get it since we were there.

While looking for mattress, we both love the King Koil Serenity. However it exceed out budget by quite a bit. Priced at close to $2.5k is way too much. Tried 4Stars but it doesn't feel any close to King Koil. Then there came Spring Air. Not bad actually! We had decided to put this as our 1st choice. Priced at less than 1.8k is still within our budget for comfort back support.

We headed to our new place hoping to see if there are any units doing renovation. Sunday, of course there aren't any. So we walked around the area and found that there is a good running path just behind. 

Our unit at Strathmore Green. We are very lucky to get the unit of our first choice. Feeling excited but tired from waiting for HDB to release the keys. I guess we are not the only ones. There are still many units yet to be renovated.

Avocado Pasta

Avocado pasta is easy to make. Just need some salt, garlic and onions to do the job. I think just avocado alone is too thick so I added abit of fresh milk to make it smoother. Taste good!

Then, here is the avocado seed I prepared to let it grow. Day 1.

Wedding Band

We finally got our wedding band searching high and low, from Tiffany & Co, Love & Co, Lee Hwa, SK, to those jewellery shops that sells pearls and jades,we settled for a pair at Sookee.
We did not like the idea of having a ring with rose gold, but this particular ring struck us. Both of us finally found a pair that we like. To our surprise, a slight bit of rose gold is not too bad at all. It is not obvious and blends together very well. Something that we will have for the next journey together.

Love Nest

So exciting! We finally got our queue number that does not exceed the quota! The last BTO exercise was bad. Not only we did not get out queue number within the quota, our queue number exceeded by only approx 56 numbers. When the high floors were mostly taken up, and by the time it was inching near to our scheduled selection date, only 2nd and 3rd floors were left. We gave up in the end when HDB called us if we are going down to select our flat.

Good thing we gave up! I think our prayers were heard when we visited Guan Yin Temple and the Big Buddha at Phuket together. Can't wait for the selection! We have went to site and roughly know what we wanted, and I have done some research on the room types.

A present

Yesterday, I had the most sumptuous dinner. Esther treated me to Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant. We had pork knuckle and a chicken and ham pizza. It was great! But quite expensive though. I shall try to make pork knuckle next time for her.
I got a Burberry Touch perfume as a present. Smells good! I like the bottle. Very unique shape, especially the cap.
Love you lots my dear!
