on monday we collected our keys! mingyao picked the keys up from the lawyer then he fetched me from hong kong street, after which we drove to the place and parked the car at the sheltered car park and walked to siglap for dinner - had lovely chicken chop zhi char albeit the long wait and had a lovely walk back to the place where we went upstairs and scuffled about in the dark (no electricity, yo.) with torchlights and measuring tape and after opening the windows we discovered brilliant cross ventilation - and it was a really hot humid monday night yo - and we both agreed the study room was our favourite room because of the windows. and before we left we dipped our hands in the pool downstairs - as a customary gesture of hello and ours now. can't wait to fill it up. meanwhile i'm in love with a certain suspension lamp which i shall not reveal until i save up enough to get it.
