The 2nd appointment was a simple affair. Typically home owners do not have to be present for this appointment. But in our case, we wanted to be there to receive the keys immediately so we could go 'open the door' right after since it happens to be the 1st day of a lunar month.
We were on leave anyways to check out marbles so it mades sense to make a trip to HDB Hub too. Since we were there we also setup the SP services account for 405. The whole process was pretty quick. We had our hands busy trying to sort out the marble flooring.
We spent our time talking to Norman about the 90x90cm tiles we saw this morning and getting a confirmation from him that his tiler wasn't going to do it. And the better part of the time was contacting Edward for a installer reference and then calling him to tie down a quote for the marble works.
Eventually Julina (our agent) came over with a single set of keys. Its rather odd that the ex-owners were handling over one main door, the master bedroom key and the letterbox key. I would have thought they will be passing us a whole bag of them but no ... just 3 keys. What about the bedroom doors? The window and window grills? The main gate?? Very odd ... I wasn't going to be fretting over this and tasked Julina to sort it out for us. We settled the commission cheque with her and immediately made our way to 405.
The 开门 was a simple affair, we are not the type to go into overly complexed rituals. Papa and Mama were there too to join in the event. Meimei rolled the customary pineapple and we all shouted "Huat Ah!".
It feels very comfortable in the unit. I can already feel like its home. Now to look forward to the next big event, the renovation. Hope there are no major hiccups along the way :-)
