Updates!

I'm so sorry I haven't been updating lately. I don't have any excuse, well except that I'm lazy! Haha! Anyway, I promised you some pictures of our not-so-new place. Here they are:

Poang chair & Klippan sofa from Ikea

No, I'm not going to post pictures of the bedrooms or toilets. Leave something for the imagination. Hehe. As you can see, we have HEAPS of spaces left but we're a bit skeptical about buying more furniture/home stuff. You see, in my husband's line of work (he's an Engineer), we tend to be assigned to different projects all over. Just like what happened when we moved to Tamworth for 9 months last year. Right now we only buy things as the need for them arise.

On other news, I've started to look for a job, albeit online. I've been sending my resume on online job sites. Hopefully something turns up soon. I'm beginning to feel restless staying at home, all alone and I'm running out of things to do. In fact I've resorted to experimenting on different toppings for vanilla ice cream! So far I've only tried lingonberry jam and fresh rock melon. Yummy!

For news back home, one of my brothers got involved in an accident two weeks ago. He was on his way home from a night out with friends when he (while riding on his motorcycle) was hit by a tricycle. The driver did not even stop to help him. Good thing a good Samaritan did. He was rushed to the hospital where they found out he had dislocated his right shoulder. Apart from that he had heaps of wounds and bruises. Thank God he did not sustain more serious injuries. I felt sad and helpless when I found out about the accident through a text message from one of my sisters. He's recovering nicely and he went back to work a couple of days ago.

On a lighter note, my birthday is just two weeks away. I don't want to turn 31! I want to be stuck at 30 forever. Haha! If only! I still haven't decided on what we're doing. Either have a small get together/house warming here at home OR go on a road trip to Canberra to visit friends.

New House. New Home. New Hope

We have a new house! It's not technically ours because we are just renting but you get the picture. It's been a week today since we moved in. The house is pretty nice (considering we didn't get to inspect/see it 'til the day we got the keys and moved in!). It's still pretty much bare, no furniture yet. Our bed frame, mattress, dining set and TV stand are all still in storage. We have yet to buy a sofa, coffee table and whatnots. We still sleep on the floor, in the lounge where the telly is. Hehe. We bought a washing machine (thank God!) and a fridge, which is pretty much empty save for water. There are still heaps of things to buy, I get a headache just thinking about it. MOVING IS REALLY STRESSFUL! Hopefully this is our last move before buying a house of our own.

I'm still not used to the place but I like it here. I just noticed that every time we move houses, we move to a bigger one. Our first rental was just a teeny-tiny studio near the city. Then we moved into a one-bedroom unit in Tamworth. Finally this one, which is a two-bedroom unit. I am now wishing we get to buy a three-bedroom villa or townhouse in the near future. :)

P.S. I will post some pictures as soon as possible.
