JoeandLereen: Key Collection

Finally, after the long awaited 2½ years, we have received the TOP confirmation! Initially we were really disappointed as out of the 3 blocks we were the last block to collect our keys which is after 2011 CNY. The other blocks were able to collect their keys before CNY.

We were still extremely pleased and excited about the collection of our keys. Even though we were schedule to collect our keys in the morning, both of us have taken the whole day off, so to have the entire day to plan, verify the defects and of course, enjoy the view we long for.

Many thanks to the modern technology of internet, there was a forum dedicated to the building of our new flat and I believe many have benefited from this forum. We were informed of various details of our flat even before we collect our keys, which we were able to note and verify the defects effectively. What’s more, we have also taken advantage of the bulk purchases organised by the forum, e.g. solar firm, electronics, lightings etc.

I thought it would be nice to view our empty home, as well as the progress of some simple renovations and finally the end result including the furniture.
