I am now feeling better but on Thursday (the day I just got back), I was nursing an upset tummy, got sunburnt patches on my face and thighs, felt so grimy with sweat and sand and was extremely extremely tired after a whole day of travelling.
Seriously, it was a WHOLE day of traveling. We woke up at 6:45am to check out of the hotel and have a light breakfast before catching the 8 am taxi to the pier. There is only 1 taxi in the morning. Look at the picture of the taxi below. I know.....not exactly 4 star....
And we had to get on this one to catch the 9 am ferry to Trat (mainland) in order to catch the 11 am bus to Bangkok. (This was the worst part of the trip) It took us 6.5 hours to reach the Bangkok Bus Terminal by which time, my butt was sore from all the sitting.
Then, we had to rush and grab a taxi (cos the bus was late in arriving) to take us to the airport where the last flight to Singapore leaves at 7:40 pm. Finally reached Singapore at the fine time of 11:10 pm........whoops, a total of 15 hours or travelling. I do not recommend this for anyone.

Our renovation is finally done. Now, I just need to wait for the furnitures and move all my stuff in. I can't believe how much stuff me and RH has. Its ridiculous. Time to throw out stuff which we do not need.
Anyways, my sofa came......its kinda small and we were totally ripped off by the salesperson because we changed the size of our sofa. But at least we have something to sit on now. Hee Hee.
We also bought our washing machine and vacuum........so happy. We bought a 7 kg Panasonic foam wash machine for $429 from Best Denki and got a Karcher wet and dry vacuum from Parisilk at Holland Village. Really happy with our purchases. Just realized that my fridge is also Panasonic adn we should totally have gotten a Panasonic Vacuum so that all our electrical appliances match....hee hee (totally irrelevant).
By the way, the karcher wet and dry vacuum is having a promotion and only costs $160 instead of $225.

I tried out the vacuum last night cos RH complained that the apartment was still very very dusty and it was super great. Whether it was my imagination or not, I felt that the floor was less dusty......brooms totally cannot compare to vaccum. Only complain is the noise of the vacuum but I dun really mind as I dun plan to vacuum everyday......maybe RH will.... Hee hee

After visiting our apartment a few times, I am really thankful for the breeze. Our apartment (although on the 2nd floor) is really breezy. Anytime of the day, its breezy and its great because it cuts out the need for unsightly fans......hee hee.
The breeze is really unbelievable. Even with a magnet door stopper, the breeze can slam our open bedroom doors.....(yes, it has happend several times).....gotta remember to place a stronger door stopper at all the doors.
