Almost finalised!

The sale of our flat is almost finalised. Today was the last day for the buyer to exercise their option to purchase our flat and at the very last minute, we were told that the buyer was still trying to get the bank loan approved. For a while, I harboured hopes that maybe the sale will not go through, but on the other hand, I also wanted it to go through as we had plans for the money...fortunately (or should I say unfortunately) the agent called us in the evening and told us that the bank had approved the loan at the final hour and the buyer will be exercising their option to purchase. Well, at last we have the answer and will start to plan the move as well as packing/selling/giving/storing our stuff. We will have the whole of April and May to do this and hope after this, things will go well for us. It seems like since the start of the year, things hadn't move very well to our advantage and we'll been in a really bad luck. As for myself, I've already prepare myself mentally and crossing fingers that things will work out well. Maybe it's a good start, maybe it's not, but we won't know till we try things out.

Final countdown!

Been really busy since it's the school holidays and everyday I have to juggle with 4 kids at home. Not me with 4 but 3 monkeys of mine plus little cutie pie XX or Ashlynne. She's a total gem. Totally different from my 3 monkeys who are full of energy and FIGHTING spirit haha...
Big decision this week. Finally stopped procrastinating and decided to sold off our HOME. Sigh long story but in short, we signed off and agreed to sell off our flat to another family. The good part is we will be able to get back our hefty renovation costs dumped into the house. Bad part is we have to move back to in laws place till further notice. Hubby hope the private property prices will cool off and we can start looking around for our next home, and the worse case is to get another EA and start all over again. Although I am not totally convinced, but I decided to step back and let him make the decision this time as he's been really down and quiet since I told him NO, and I wouldn't want this episode to send our relationship to the rocks. Anyway, since it's been decided and signed off, we'll just see how it goes. It may not be as pessimistic as I think...who knows maybe I can live with in laws in peace and can continue to stay with them and take care of them. In any case they are aging and need us to take care of them sooner or later..
For the next 1.5 months we'll be busy sorting out issues and clearing our stuff and rearranging our routines so that when the school starts after the June holidays, we will be able to live life normal again without minimal disruptions to the kids. BUSY BUSY BUSY!

A tiring month...

If you'd been wondering why I haven't been updating my blog for so many weeks, it's because the kids have not been feeling too good lately. Weather here is so HOT with the temp hitting 34-36 deg everyday and there hadn''t been any rain. Its rather unusual for it to be so hot here in the month of Feb and resulted in bush fires all around Singapore. This resulted in plenty of haze in the air too. With all these adding up, its no wonder the kids are falling sick one after another, and all over again after they've barely recovered. Finally they seem to have stopped falling sick and it's rest time for mummy dearest here!
Anyway, I've been tired out so will update more later when I have the energy...
