Covid-19 has made everyone's life changes, locked down, face mask, sanitizer and etc.
Not able to go out freely. Locked down a home, then become movement control order. First time in my life, need to go to police station due to the need of returning to hometown. First time in many years, not able to go travel. I even failed to travel to Penang and have cancelled my flight several times. First time, Singapore has become so near yet so far.
Soon, 2020 will be ending.
Look at the brighter side of this year, this year is also first time in our life, we learn to calm down and get to adjust the lifestyle.
I have been moved out from home since university. Has mastered in renting a room. Of course, with my good luck, I have meet many good housemates and roommates in the past, with Daisy being my first chosen roommate during my final year in university and last staying with Thong Thong.
Thanks to my sisters, directly and indirectly, I have settle down in my own property before the lockdown. My sister and brother-in-law have been traveling to JB many times in first half year of 2019 to help me to view houses. And the last one that I chose is also found by sister. I didn't want to view it at first due to the asking price. But after view many and almost give up in buying one due to the view conditions. My sister help me to search online and persuade me to take a look.
Decided to get the apartment in last year June and so first time in my life on the long process of getting a property. Find banker, lawyer etc. Spent my savings. And waited for four months at least.
Not knowing how to design the house, so the best thing is almost everything is already available there. Ready to move in after get the keys. The only thing I do before move in was to go to TNB and the management office, to get the electricity and water. Move in during Nov/Dec 2019.
All things are already in the house. 👼. Oh, the washing machine is the only thing that I need to buy before moving in. After that only start to look at the details. Get my internet supply in Jan after surveying a few and ask opinion from Daisy who stay at the same area. Get a new bed for myself. Get ready for the other two beds ready for rent. Then the lockdown started.
Mar to May, it was a blessed to stay alone in the house, being the most freedom and crazy me. But many friends and colleagues were all keeping an eyes and to message me to ensure I am alright physically and mentally.
Lucky enough, managed to rent it out in May/Jun, so that I am no longer staying alone.
After too long staying at home, so the minor things were all cannot be unseen. Changed the fan due to it turn slower and slower until no longer moving. Changed the dining table from round to rectangular. This is thanks to the home office based, the round table has become very inconvenience as the pens keep dropping. Thong also give a good inspiration on upgrading the home, I changed my kitchen table top from black to whitish using the adhesive and waterproof wall paper. so it looks brighter.
The only issue with the home is not bright enough as most of it is the warm light. 😂
And now, still in the progress of decluttering, after a year moving to this house, put on Carousell due to too much furniture at home.
Managed to sell one of the sofa out and it now safe and sound in its new home.
Times flies, now it is already a year in this house! Due to the lockdown, I really appreciate the home environment that I have. It is not the best, but blessed enough to be able to come at such a good timing.
p/s: This is to answer the queries that my colleagues might have in mind. 😂A few of them got shocked that I move out so quickly from Thong house within almost a year and thought we had a big fight staying together.
With the fact that I still occasionally still go to her house staying overnight to get to play the Nintendo games or before the hiking morning since I moved out last year. XDDD
