From Journey to Joy: Our Home Relocation Update🏡

                   

It's Been A Long Time Coming…

 
Dear family and friends,
 
Finallyyy! I am delighted to share some wonderful news. My family and I have officially moved in and settled comfortably into our new residence. This home upgrade gives us more space, greater comfort, and a lovely fresh start, a meaningful new chapter we welcome with deep appreciation and excitement.
 
The journey to get here was not easy. We faced many challenges, obstacles and long delays due to various situations and unforeseen circumstances, but through patience and perseverance, we finally made it! All the effort feels completely worthwhile now that we are settled in this wonderful new home, ready to create beautiful memories and embrace new chapters.

And what feels even better? Our new house and renovations are fully paid. No housing loan, no outstanding payments, no debts, and no monthly repayments to worry about. (*We prefer to settle everything once and for all.) It brings us such peace of mind and a true sense of financial stability, knowing we achieved this goal entirely on our own. 

Property and housing is pretty expensive here but through steady hard work, careful planning and investing wisely, we have reached where we are today. This is a milestone we built over years and we hold it deeply with humble gratitude. 

               

                 

If you know me well, you will know that I prefer not to trouble others, so we managed everything completely by ourselves, without seeking any help or support from our families or friends. Honestly, that is also something I am truly proud of and it's indeed the most rewarding outcome after years of efforts, sacrifices, and long waiting. Buying a new house is one of the best decision I've ever made! 😎

Our children are absolutely thrilled! They love their new bedrooms. The neighborhood is warm, friendly, and full of vibrant energy. Such a joyful place for our whole family to grow and thrive! It feels so much more relaxing and peaceful here...I have already made new friends and feel genuinely welcomed and connected. I truly believe a positive, healthy environment nurtures both growth and well-being.
 
A massive shout-out goes to our amazing and hardworking property agent, Mr D. (You know who you are!😉) Our previous house was sold within 2 months. Thank you so much for securing such a great offer and closing the deal quickly and efficiently. Your professionalism and excellent service truly deserve recognition and appreciation.
 
Our renovation went smoothly and stress-free, we are endlessly thankful that every part of the work was completed right on schedule.

 

Keep Rolling - Heng, Ong, Huat! 🍍🍍🍍

To welcome peace and blessings to our new home, we followed tradition and rolled the pineapple as part of our simple door-opening ritual before renovation. It was quite fun and rather hilarious. We found ourselves giggling and laughing as we rolled the pineapple through every room! 😄

Some of my friends have been asking and wondering if we’ve moved yet, so I think it’s time to share some updates about my relocation and why I have been so busy. Moving house is incredibly time-consuming. The transition takes so much dedication, hard work, supervision, and coordination, from housing paperwork to packing, moving and renovations, etc. The past few months were extremely busy and exhausting, but also joyful and fulfilling as we decorated and furnished our new home. (*More photos & videos will be shared in private group chats later.)

(*P.S. — Pardon me if I missed some lovely events, parties, celebrations, and media invitations over the past few months. My schedule has been fully occupied with these tasks since early this year, but I look forward to connecting with everyone again soon! 😘

Best Birthday Celebration This Year! 🎂
 
We have officially relocated and settled into our new home in early June, just as planned. Since June is also my birthday month, this beautiful new home stands as one of my greatest blessings. It gave me one of the most special and best birthday celebrations this year. Truly unforgettable! 🎁

     

Dreams Do Come True! (Slowly but Surely)

Moving home is a long and tedious process, it’s a huge commitment that needs sensible planning, endless patience, great attention to detail, and so much persistence but...Great Things Are Worth Waiting For! 😎✌️ 

To everyone working towards their dream home : Never Give Up! 💪 We waited patiently for years, with very little help along the way, but we overcame every challenge and made it happen. Your dream home, joyful moments, and wonderful abundance are absolutely worth waiting and striving for.

 💌 You’re Cordially Invited!

And hey… please mark your calendars! I will be preparing and sending out exclusive private invitations very soon, along with some sweet little tokens for our guests, so please keep an eye out for yours! We seriously can’t wait to give our VIP guests a full house tour and celebrate a wonderful housewarming together! 🥳

Now that I have completed one of the biggest and toughest projects - Our home relocation, I can finally breathe easier, take things slower, and focus on other goals. I now have more time for my hobbies and enjoy simple leisure. I am settling into this sense of stability, enjoying every moment in my new home, and moving at my own gentle pace.

 

 
  

   

     

 

        

 

     

Here’s a toast to our lovely new home, this vibrant neighborhood, and all the happy days ahead! May this fresh chapter be full of love, laughter, and beautiful new memories for my family! 🥂👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🏠

 

*Remarks :

Sincere thanks to everyone who encouraged us along this journey. Every kindness means a lot to me and we truly appreciate the reliable services that made this relocation possible and right on schedule. No words can explain how I feel. My heart is full! 🥰 -*A special announcement by Author : Mandy Law (Aka Mommywarrior77)

Fun Things To Do At Home 💡

An outbreak sucks! 😷

Since early this year, the world is dealing with a major health crisis and I know it's been a very stressful time for everyone.

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a lot of stress, fear, anxiety everywhere, it also caused many destruction and inconvenience in our daily lives. 

Some countries are lockdown, schools are closed, we see panic buying and social distancing etc...With so much tensions around, people are staying indoors now, outings and travel plans are not encouraged. Mass/group activities and social events are either cancelled or suspended and the next thing you find yourself 'grounded' at home and nowhere to go!

I'm outdoorsy, so it's kinda miserable to be stucked at home all weekends.(I miss playing Basketball and Jamming with my UkerManics) but looking at the current situation, it make sense to stay at home and avoid crowded places as a precaution.

Though the Covid-19 has put humanity to a big challenge, but looking on the bright side, it may be a great opportunity to improve relationships and strengthen family bonds.

Here's a list of fun things for you and your family to beat boredom.

Fun Things To Do At Home :

Play Board Games

Ok Mummies and Daddies, it's time to put away your phones/laptops and get on the floor to play some games with the kids. I love board games, it's fun, entertaining and it reminds me of my childhood, "Who's turn to roll the dice, now?"

Declutter The House
With the nasty virus out there, it's good to keep the house clean and tidy everyday! I have been doing a lot of spring cleaning this week. You can clean up the refrigerator, kitchen cabinets, reorganize books/toys shelves, changing the bedsheets/curtains, cleaning out the closets and donate some unwanted stuff to the charity or the garang guni.

Baking /Cooking Time

Get the little helpers to bake some cookies, muffins, making sushi rolls, homemade pizza or simply trying out new recipes.

Art & Craft

You can do simple DIY projects with the kids. It's so cool to make your own jewelry & keychains as gifts.

Read Books or Magazines

Reading is a great pastime but I prefer magazines though.lol

Take A Bubble Bath or A Power Nap

It's OK to relax & recharge...and a glass of wine shouldn't harm. Cheers!

Netflix and Chill

Let's not forget the beloved spouse. Couple time is very important in every relationship. Dim the lights please! 😄

Write A Song or A Poem

Dedicate your work to a friend or to someone special. 

Play An Instrument

Playing the Ukulele everyday lighten up my mood. You can practise your piano, guitar or drums, etc.. just enjoy and have fun!

Call Your Bffs

Instead of texting and chatting on the phone. Try FaceTime or video chats but do avoid gossips and spreading rumours. (Positive vibes ok?) 

Family Karaoke Time

Singing out loud can reduce stress. Get the kids to sing their favorite Disney songs and parents can sing along too.

Movie Nights

Watch your favorite movies together as a family. Comedies, horrors, animation, korean drama whatever...but don't forget the chips and popcorn!!! 

Home Workout

If you can't hit the gym for now. Try indoor exercise, like skipping, hula hoop or sit ups, etc..you can still have a good sweat, even at home.

Dance

If you feel like dancing, why not practice your favorite K-pop dance moves? (chumchu ja) Keep grooving!

Home Manicure/Pedicure

Try different colors and designs on your nails or try out a new beauty face mask. Pamper yourself because you deserve it!

Listen To Favorite Music

Music is a great therapy! Put on your headphones and feel the beats...

Indoor Gardening

If you love plants, you can grow some herbs and build a mini home garden.

Online Shopping

I'm an active online shopper! I love online shopping because it save time and it's so convenient! I'm glad I can get almost everything I need, without stepping out of the house. So ladies, go get that dress and the stiletto!

Spend Time With Your Pets

While bonding with family is important but don't forget to cuddle your pets and give them some attentions. Pets are family too.

For those who are serving the LOA (Leave Of Absence)/SHN (Stay-Home-Notice) for 2weeks Home Quarantine/Self-Isolation etc... Please hang in there, do your part and stay at home. Keep your spirits up and try to keep yourself occupied at home, the 2 weeks quarantine order will soon pass... 

It's perfectly normal to panic, feel worried and scared during such crisis but we have to remind ourselves to remain calm, be prepared and stay positive during this difficult time. I believe if everyone stand hand in hand, we can overcome this together and.......
Storms Don't Last Forever!

Let's all be social responsible, practice good hygiene and stay united always...Peace! 💗 #SGUnited
