The 1st days in LV

It had been a week since we shifted into LV. With the shifting nightmare over and packing mostly done, we are also starting to settle in. There are still random things that we buy now and then, here and there. How come so many things to buy de? The most recent delivery is this.

It is a manual washer and dryer! Really, no joke! Popo has this habit of manually washing random pieces of clothes despite the washer/ dryer that we have. Then the clothes will be dripping dry on the drying rack. In the process, she leaves a wet trail from the toilet to the balcony. Haiz. Hopefully this will not become a white elephant. I had thought it will be fantastic for spin drying the handwashed pieces or to wash floor rags and socks that she will NEVER put in the washer. Anyway... I have done my part. 

How are the kids settling in? 

Lil Shauna totally loves her room. It is so difficult to see her now bcos she is constantly in her room doing her stuff, watching Netflix. She loves her loft bed too though I thought it was a hassle to climb on and off. Maybe this is the difference between young and old bones. Haha. The kids are also utilising their bean bags despite them being so gigantic in their tiny room. Often, I find them flopped on the bags watching their phone. 

Lil Shauna had been enjoying her room for the past week until when she had been discovering small little worms/ caterpillar on her study table! Yes, really worms/ caterpillar! Daddy Lim and her spent the whole afternoon and evening trying to find the source and finally found a nest of eggs stuck to the window grills. The eggs hatched and the worms fall on her study table directly below. Luckily, not her bed and mattress! Yikes! We all had goose pimples from the worms/ caterpillars and eggs, which we removed and I am not going to post pictures to irk myself silly. Hoho. 

Zaky is also settling well into his room and most importantly, in his bed. He had been sleeping "alone" after I tucked him to bed and I have been "keeping watch" by sleeping on a mattress on his floor for the past week. He has learnt how to count to 10 and fall back to sleep should he wake up in the night and my presence gives him great assurance. So far, he had done really well except for one night. As for me, I am really missing my bed. Hahaha. The night light is always turned on in his room and fortunately I sleep totally fine in bright rooms. Hoho. 

Daddy Lim had been enjoying the big bed on his own for the past week until Lil Shauna jumped in last night bcos of the creepy crawlers. I so missed my bed. Zaky says that he will be finally ready to sleep on his own 2 years later. T.T

As for myself, I am definitely enjoying the new space. The balcony is always good to enjoy a nice cup of coffee. We now have ample working/ studying areas and plenty of tables and chairs; no lack of working space. For now, I yearned to one day (soon) be able to reclaim my bed. Hoho. And to try to recall where I have kept the stuff, I can't seem to find a number of them when I am sure I unpacked them. Old age.
