Shifting house day

Yesterday was my shifting house day.
Shifting to the house of me and my hubby..
The night before we were already very busy packing our remaining stuffs there have not been empty into our trash bags.

The day has finally arrived, waking up at 8plus, after a quick wash up, we went market to purchase items for praying.
For chinese tradition of Buddhism/Taoism, we will purchase fruits, joss sticks, joss papers, as such to pray for peace, safe and of coz good luck.

And also, for the beauty of my house, we also rush down to my old neighbourhood to have my curtain alter. And well, 4 pieces cost $20.00/. Husband asked whether it is cheap or expensive, actually I also don't know, therefore I just said,"eh, think its reasonable ba.."
Hope this is a good answer.

Feeling hungry, both of us agreed to have our breakfast first before continuing to hunt for basin, den hubby recieved a call. His auntie called and started her power tongue and continued on for nearly 1 hour.

Since so, I started to call SPC to order gas for my new house and den I realised it is not cheap for a bottle of 13.5kg gas. 1 bottle costs $27.00/. Deposit of $20.00/. Pipe & Cap cost $50.00/. And there goes my $100.00 bucks/. (But later on papa give me some cash, which ended up is papa paid for me)

After the hung up, my hubby told me about his auntie said to buy a stove + charcoal, this is to put outside our house door, start the fire and when the fire is strong & fierce, we have to move the stove into our kitchen and start to boil a kettle of water. The purpose is to gain wealthy. Next to bring a fan to our house first, switch on the fan while we're starting the fire, so called,"风生水起".
So, we did followed as said, no harm trying if this is going to improve our lives.

When the preparation is ready, we set off to our new house. Upon arrived, we started to organise our stuffs and proceed to collect our table for praying. And actually the previous night, mama passed me some cash to purchase table. I went to check out the price and realise a red top square table cost $65.00/ while a mahjong table costs only $39.00/, therefore I proceed asking uncle this,
"Uncle ah, I ask you hor, can I actually use Mahjong Table to do praying?"
The answer is good.
"Of coz you can when its a brand new one."
So, mahjong table is purchased with me smiling happily. I love to play mahjong!

After collecting of table, hubby went to buy some flowers & thailand lemon. These are also items for praying.

Proceed home and fridge, washing started to come in.
Follow by, the furniture also arrived, but problem arised.
They sent 2 left arms sofa, which consists of 1 left arm of 2 sitters, 1 left arm of 3 sitters. Which is totally wrong. Hubby demanded them to exchange it on the same day but delivery come not compromise his request therefore hubby get very angry and quarrelled and them. I also feel it is very careless of them not to check probably their stocks before they come over. Of coz after many rounds of quarrel, request, co-ordination, they finally tried their best to slot in our delivery today at 7.00pm. And of coz, I hope this time round will be good and prefect. I dunwan anymore problems to arise.

Den the real moving start, manpower of mama, me, hubby and my primary 6 cousin. It is very terrible and feel so tired. Mama has ache on her legs, cousin teck is young, but strong. Me is lousy, big in frame but no strength, my hubby super skinny but strength super big. After round and round of up & down the stairs, finally we're on our way to new house. Unloading is better, got Papa, uncle jimmy, me, mama, cousin teck & of coz hubby. Not become of them, i can't image me moving only consist of me and hubby. I will faintz on the spot.
Really appreciated their help so much.

After settle down abit, unpacking, mama & papa brought me to supermarket to purchase some house use stuffs, like rice, sugar, detergents, washing powder as such. And mama paid for all the stuffs which costs nearly $100/. Actually mama also bought 2 fans for me, 1 at the price of $56.00/.

Back home, Papa treated us for dinner. He ordered crabs, claypot fish, veg...etc, and we had a good dinner and thank papa for that too.

They went back about 9plus, den we continued unpacking until 11plus, I also dunno what happend, I started to miss my mama. You know the feeling, I havent start to stay there yet, and its only 1hr I never see my mama. My hubby for a moment thought I was crazy but I'm not. I just dunno why I miss my mama so much. Spoken to my buddy and she said this is normal. Heez.. ya.. I think I'm really a "Big Girl" who can't live without mama.

So after yesterday, I realised mama & papa loves me, and I love them too.
I also dunno why I want to talk back to her, dun obey her and I think its not too late to regret.
Mama, I really love you.
