Are you arriving soon?
10:10 AM
We recieve news that our boxes might be arriving soon! I really really can't wait. I missed my bed sooooo much.
I'll might do a blog post of our house next time with the cost of items we bought ( if I can remember)
It is really expensive setting up a house omg! We are running dry on funds & that's why we are holding back on some furnitures and appliances. So the post might come very late, maybe till I feel my home is what I want it to be?
But it's very fun to set up a home with someone you love. Buying stuff bit by bit & within our means. So now, I have a space allocated for microwave and it is still empty haha! My sofa is arriving next week. My bed headboard should be up next week too. YAY!
I have no other pictures to offer, but my dining area is the most decent place in the house. So here you go... Expandable tempered glass dining set & hanging 3 piece ceiling lights.

Officially in my 3rd trimester!
8:52 AM
I am officially in my 3rd trimester (27 weeks) on Friday. This pregnancy seemed to zoom pass really quickly because I am so busy most of the time. I'm not as marveled by the little movements as my 1st, is it normal? Haha!
Anyways, baby quek is still as active as ever & seem to be always right under my boob. I'm guessing I'm carrying high this time. Baby also reacts to sound and gets startled by drills and knocking which is ADORABLE.
I'm seeing Dr lawrence ang now, and he did a 3D scan for me and assured that there's no cleft lip etc. Thank God!
My next appointment should be 2 weeks later and I can't wait! Hehe!

Our little Faith
10:35 AM
She brightens my day. Our life will probably be very dull & different without her.
Having a child means you need to sacrifice and compromise a lot of things, but at the end of the day, it is TOTALLY worth it.
I love you, my little Faith.

Kitchen reno is complete!
11:16 PM
Yay!! My sink and faucet is up yesterday thanks our experience plumber! Finally our kitchen reno is done. Oh yeah! Currently surviving with 3 bowls, 3 plates, 3 cups and few other necessary items that we got from Ikea last week. Can't wait for my boxes to arrive to fill up my kitchen!
Anyways we got our kitchen faucet from the States, and because it isn't manufactured locally, it's really hard to find a bolt that fit! Thankfully my plumber is very experienced and knows a shop that sells it. (But that small, tiny bolt cost alot!)
He told us he felt a pinched when he purchase it for us lol. I just really wanted my kitchen to function leh, how much we still have to pay up right?
So people, just buy local faucet, save you the trouble.
Currently waiting for the sealant before I start washing all my stuff! Yay!

More things done!
3:59 AM
It has been almost a week since I last updated. The house is more or less complete. Our citygas and dining lights went up today, now what is pending is the master bed, wardrobe, kitchen sink and bathroom fixtures to be up.
I use to be confused why people's renovation got delayed, but now I understand why... sometimes the things that is delivered is faulty or the carpentry have defects or some designs that my ID propose just wouldn't work out. Thus, I would say that my house will only be done with the reno at the end of July.

Day 2 of carpentry
8:32 PM
Day 2 of confining myself in the room whole the reno goes on. I literally eat and read the entire day away...
Anyways the carpentry is up really quickly. The men work from 10 to 6 and my kitchen, shoe cabinet, tv console, wardrobe and bed frame are up! That's very amazing.
They are not sloppy with their work and took about 2 to 3 breaks in between. They clean up after they fix a compartment and make sure the tiles are not scratched. Occasionally they leave black prints on my wall but I'm sure it can be clean off easily.
My ID, Lisa, is a very meticulous and detailed woman. She sees things that I can't see and try not to shortchanged me. For example, she inspected the bi- fold door and told me she spotted defect and want it exchanged. I didn't see anything but since she want to change a better piece for me, I don't mind lol!
I hope all these end soon. Quite sick of the dust arghhh.

Hello bump!
9:33 PM
My bump is officially Baby Quek. That's how hubby & velle calls it now.
Baby quek is very active, always kicking, pushing and there are nights I just couldn't sleep because of the movement. I can't imagine what will happen in the 3rd trimester.
My first check up in Singapore will be this coming Sat! I hope everything is fine!

Progress!
8:55 PM
We have been living in our new home with the bare minimum. Our house is almost empty with no wardrobe, kitchen, bed and hot water. Many times I just shower in cold water because I'm so sick of waiting for the hot water to boil haha!
Chlovelle have been really cool with all changes and I know it's not easy on her to be always on the move with us. Thank God she's adventures and not so much a complain queen.
I'm happy because we are having progress on the house today! Our Internet/ tv cable will be up today which means velle get to watch cartoon! Feel so guilty towards her awww..
Men will be coming to replace our WC and bathroom doors. We have chosen to switch our wooden doors to foldable ones, because the moisture have gotten into the wood. It is disintegrating every day and everytime we close the door.
And today it is Chlovelle's first day of school at K2!!! The schools here works differently but I do hope she had fun! She will be attending half day for the time being & the happiest part it is only 3 mins away. Hehehehehe!
I'll be back to update more!
