Home Sweet Home - Finally!
It's been a while since our last update, so here's one that is pretty long overdue!
We've finally moved in to our own place last 2 weekends, on Sunday,
15th March 2009. In fact, it's taken almost 5 years for this house to be ready and we finally can say that we now have our own place to live!
Our little living room, furnished as simple as possible!
For the past few months we've been furnishing it to make it our own little cosy pad. Now, we're proud to say that it's almost ready and just nice to fit in the 3 of us. But, the process was pretty long!
Our house in D'Rimba, Kota Damansara was supposed to be completed late 2007, but due to delays and a lot of dilly-dally and incompetence from the developer, it was only completed early 2008.
(warning note: please don't ever buy from Jerneh-Matang PGMS again!)
The house were full of defects and Ed had to go though the whole process of complaints, getting the defects to be rectified and do the necessary renovation and furnishing. Thanks to everyone, from families and close friends, we managed to pull it through. Syukur!

We're still waiting for some stuff to be installed such as our wardrobe and study table, but all in all, it was a fullfiling experience. Moving in is one thing, maintaining the house is also another challenge all in itself.
We hope our refinance issue would soon be completed as well.
Hence, on Sunday, 15th March, we had a small gathering of families from both sides over for hi-tea to celebrate the moving in! It was a pot-luck event and Alhamdulillah, we're pleased that we had plenty of choices that day! We were honoured to have such a great turnout that day and we really thank everyone for coming to our little place.
Before we enjoyed the feast, Papa led us to a short prayer to thank Him for this new place we now call home and for all the rezeki He had bestowed upon us and our family. From starters to deserts, even little Nadyne had her tummy filled of variety of food. By the end of the day, we were glad that there were not much of leftovers and even if there were, they were just enough for us to have it for breakfast the next morning.

The next day however, Nadyne was unfortunate to have caught the flu. Thankfully, Nia was on leave so she stayed home to take care of little Nadyne. She also extended her leave for another day and had to go on Medical Leave on Wednesday after she, herself had caught the virus from little Nadyne.
So, our first few days at our new place were spent with the Influenza virus. We have yet to take little Nadyne swimming at the pool since she's been sick and furthermore, it's been raining for the past couple of weeks now.
