Yes!

Alhamdullilah... at last we got a house. After a week searching, we finally found one that we like. It has 5bedrooms, 6 toilets and 3 stories.. Sounds scary ah.. The scary part is the “3 stories”. I don’t think that I would last long climb up from one stairs to another.

Anyway that top floor we dedicated to our maid, since dia muda ganteng.. It will be her room + laundry room as well. The house is actually not too small or too big, it’s just nice for all of us. Furthermore it is located at Al-Khuwair, which is our favourite area - easy access to anywhere in Muscat.

The house will be ready by end of the month which I do really hope that I can move in before Ramadhan. We met the owner yesterday. A very nice guy who are too really keen to have us at his house! There’s nothing much actually need to be done at the house except the owner wants to repaint and do some cleaning.

We too asked him to install curtain for us. Through my experience last time, curtain here was so expensive. We spent so much on the simple curtain which at the end we just left it behind once we went back for good. So this time around, dah pandai.. so demand ah kat landlord tu. We’re lucky that he agreed on this term.

This morning I’ve started buying some electrical goods. Later in the evening, I plan to survey on furniture. Buying furniture here is not like back in our country. The delivery might take 4-5 days and that if you’re lucky. Sometimes though they have promise to deliver on certain date, they can just tend to forget and the delivery will be delayed. Annoying right? But this is seems t be norm here..

Well.. let’s just hope that it won’t happen to us and it turn out better. So for this next few days, I’ll be very busy shops and spend goods for our new home. Excited ni.. And also at the same time, I do hope that the house will be ready soon.
