My MIL's Wish

I am feeling exhausted as I have just returned from a 10-day Chinese New Year holidays back in Singapore. This time we finally got to see the inside of our apartments, after waited for more than 3 years. All other apartments in the area have already been completed, making ours the slowest of them all...Actually, it's not a bad deal for us as we are not in a hurry to move in and neither are we thinking of renting the apartments out for returns anyway. We get a few thousand dollars of compensation from the developer for the delay.

The very next morning after arriving in Singapore we met up with 2 Interior Designers to discuss carpentry works and some minor renovation works for both apartments. We will have 6 bedrooms, 5 toilets, 2 living(1 big and 1 small), 2 kitchens, 1 formal dining and 1 casual dining combined. In total for 7 of us in our family including the old folks, we will have 2000 sq. ft. of space. Not bad at all, considering that my hubby and I had stayed in a 380 sq. ft. apartment in Hong Kong for the last 4 years...

We confirmed and decided on one of the designers who had given us a very good layout with careful considerations for all of our family members. We will be getting the 3D drawings of the proposal Wednesday this week and I will be going back again on Saturday to choose the materials. I hope to be able to decide on all the necessary things by then and need not fly back again until the actual removal which will probably be end March.

On the 1st day of the New Year, we went praying and blessing as usual and the medium spent quite some time with D, telling him to work harder and aim higher for his PSLE. We are all hoping that he will do well and get into a good secondary school near to our new place. My MIL wants me to have a baby this year, telling me not to delay anymore and telling her son the same. I hope it can be as easy as she thinks...Hubby is doing his Masters in Hong Kong and won't be graduating until end of the year, I have a contract here in Hong Kong until end-June this year and I think it will get extended again. The only way that I can get back to Singapore is resigning from this company which is actually paying me quite well...So, it's really not so easy.
