Another Milestone

The whole flat was dead empty. The quitness echoed and every step i took  on the parquet flooring seem to reverberate through the whole house by the time i clicked open the main door knob. Gush of air breeze swallowed my face as I opened the sliding casement window for that 5th floor unit. I inspected the Master’s bedroom and the two other rooms. nothing there but the built- in wardrobes. The whole house looked really spacious but I know it will be cramped by the time we finish shifting all our things in here. The dining area looked ok, with the bar counter on its side. it’s also empty. The kitchen I guess still needs a bit of work. the cabinets are too few for Jean’s liking and i know she will bug me to fill every place with things she can use. Well, this will be her castle and the kitchen her throne room. the bathrooms works fine and all the accessories were in place. i sat on the living hall floor and i looked around. Its a good feeling to really be in a home you can call home. Especially if it’s in your adopted country. Yes, the home is not fancy.But never the less a fruit of long hours of hard work. And if you’e in Singapore, you will know how hard it is to acquire one.

Tonight I will be bringing Jean here. I want to see her reaction as I give her the key to this flat… kept in a small box inscribed with “Happy 9th year Anniversarry”. I hope it will be a happy one. Fingers crossed.
