hamarė ghar.

done with #projecthun, its #projecthome now.

i am excited as much as worried seeing the estate being stacked up like lego blocks.

of course i am thrilled - getting the keys, designing the house to our taste, deciding ourselves what color we want for the rooms, what to buy for the house etc. basically, a place to call our own with minimal interruptions from external parties. (i say minimal because i know that there will be people who might just insist for us to take their opinions and way of doing things. and if we don't, they'll sulk or take it to heart etc. ohgerddd.)

at the same time, i'm nervous because of the amount of money that we're likely to fork out again, this time for a bigger investment. we are not from Atas Heights, hence we don't have the luxury to purchase very atas brands. abz and i hadn't even think about the house yet. but silently i do think about the finances.

i suppose this is one of the worries that's to stay in our minds, yes?

the pic update below was taken a few weeks back.
and its not our block too. heh.


the last site visit showed that most of the blocks had been stacked up to somewhere above the tenth floor. a few more stories to go before all blocks are completed!

abz and his cousin did timeline calculations to estimate when our unit will be up, when the blocks will be done with all units piled up, when they'll start painting and finally when we're likely to get the keys etc.
i'd rather to just wait.


abz and i hadn't really talked about the house, but unknowingly we are s l o w l y prepping for it.

we have some basic stuffs for #projecthome - some were given, and some were bought for use now but ended up saving for later. and these items are stored either at my current place or my parents'.

so far we have:
- china (glasses and mugs): balance carried forward from my sister's wedding and from #projecthun;
- china (plates and bowls): not much, but my eldest sister left us some before her famz moved to Qatar;
- floor mats: also from sister, just a few so guests can sit on the mats when there's no sofa upon moving in;
- hand blender: because we redeemed from Cold Storage but i can't bear to use brand new items;
- hand mixer: abz bought at expo for me to use now, but again i can't bear to use brand new stuffs;
- bedsheet cover / wall light: wedding gifts from my famz;
- juice maker / cupcake tray: wedding gifts from our friends;

getting and buying new stuffs makes me happy,  so i guess its not a bad thing totally.

but for now, until the official letter comes in and the keys are in our hands, imma take a chill pill and take it as it comes.

keep calm and ... ... ... wait for it.
