First entry to our Flat

5 Apr 14 Sat
We collected our keys on 31 Mar but asked the Fengshui master if it was a good day to open the door. He suggested for us to do it today instead. Ok great, since it was on sat. I felt really excited when we were about to open the house door. When we did so, we rolled the pineapple into the living room and shouted HUAT ah!

Glad we took a 5 room. The living room is bright and spacious. Our living room is very windy too! We were there throughout the afternoon and didn't feel the heat. Hence we concluded that our house wouldn't get xi zhao.

The rooms are very small though. If we did not hack the other wall, I think we would have to walk about in the master bedroom like a crab. The other guest room is even smaller. I'm not sure how we are going to fit in a bed and a wardrobe if it is to be occupied in future.

 

Walkway to the rooms and common washroom

 

 

The kitchen is also small, but not really an issue as we wont really cook. I think that the toilets are quite nicely done up. Esp the MBR's toilet. The shower hose area even had mosaic tiled walls. Not bad.

They are still building the playground downstairs. View from our living room.

 

We then checked the condition of our house. We found 2 defects so far: (1) Water leaked from both toilet's sinks when we turned on the tap. (2) Rusty hinge at the front door. There are some hollow kitchen and toilet tiles, but does it really matter? We are unsure if we have to report this as we don't know how critical it is. Will ask our ID for opinion. Other residents have complained of other defects like damp ceiling, rusty main gate, bomb shelter's handle hitting the wall when it opened fully, faulty mailbox, cracks on tiles so far. Really must open eyes big big and inspect.

 

Remb to inspect other things like whether the toilet can be flushed, whether water at your washing machine area and toilets is choked when you drain it, whether the handles of the windows are loose and mechanism for hanging laundry are working.
