Almost-moving in

The title says it all. After all the worries, I'm finally at the stage of almost moving in. I'm really grateful that I have my mom & dad & cousin brother to coordinate all the efforts for me. Cous Bro got the painter, floor-guy and plumber in. Dad supervised the daily work by the guys. Mom made sure the cabinets/wardrobes are cleaned properly and the curtain is done correctly and various other stuff. Still some to worry, but the place is habitable...

My almost-moving in checklist:
1. Curtains for living room done. Mom showed me her work yesterday and it was pretty good.
2. Gas installed and the kitchen sink tap and outside water filter changed. Still need to test the gas tubing for leakage - paranoid me.
3. Painting work done. I went with Rose Petal from Pentalite Easy Clean for the living room and all other places. and Orange Creme also from Pentalite Easy Clean for my room. The painter uncle advised against going for my initial thoughts of Pearl Glo for reasons that the glow will go off after a while. Anyway, the walls, ceilings, door frames and balcony grills are all painted. Still need to air the place and get rid of the smell.
4. Floor polished. I'm glad this works. The floor is just so lively and pleasant after the w0rks. After all the work, need more cleaning.
5. Mattresses bought - pending delivery. Finally decided on DreamLand Posture Guard Mattress which cost RM599.
6. Sofa bought - pending delivery. I'm getting my leather L-shaped sofa! Yay!
7. TV table bought - pending delivery. Something simple but fits into the allocated area.
8. TVs - transfer from parents' & bro's houses. Cost saving.

A place to call my own

The phrase sounds so, so good. But the work that's required to prepare that place is really trying and stressful, at times.

Still, this is a recommended endeavour.

In the mean time, I worry. I just finished worrying about colour schemes, but now that the painting is ongoing, more worries cropped up. I worry that I won't get the right fridge. The right TV. a TV table that works and matches with everything else. A sofa that is just right and comfortable and a good buy. Mattresses that are good yet reasonably priced. Which washing machine to get? Should I get the dryer fixed? Do I want a top-load or a side-load washing machine.

Sigh!
