one of the first few things i did was to download a couple of podcasts from mr brown’s site. the speed amazed me. i was speechless.
apologies if i seem so excited about mundane things which 95% of Singaporeans already have. it's been excruciating to live without cable TV (especially since my folks subscribe to cable and i've had the pleasure of surfing through the various channels) and i must be one of the few mountain tortoises left who still use a dial-up line to access my email from home (in-laws' home, that is).
only dampener is that i've yet to move into my haven@arif. yeah, horrid right? our moving-in plans hit a snag. we'd already made arrangements for the house blessing, but missed a crucial piece of furniture: our bed. that's extremely important as the bed symbolises matrimonial bliss and harmony, and without the bed, the blessing is incomplete. unfortunately the bed will only arrive next month, earliest on 20 december. and i'll be shifting in only after another auspicious date has been selected so that could be months from now!
and yes, it's no "ordinary" bed. the hub's been dreaming about owning a king-size 4 poster bed for ages, and we've scouting around for quite a while for the "perfect" bed. we both fell in love with one at ierus living (kaki bukit road) which costs about 3k+ after a generous discount. the staff did tell us that it would take 3 months for the bed to be ready because of the intricate hand carvings on the head rest.this means, of course, i'll only get to enjoy the benefits of massive downloading and speed surfing during the weekends when i'm relaxing and unwinding. the kids can enjoy disney playhouse channel and this big kid couch potato mumsy can watch cartoon network with them too.
arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! i so WANT to move in now... :(
