so i got myself a new place finally. sometimes i was very excited about it. once in a while i'd still wonder if i'd regret the decision. there was this once i felt myself transported to a place in my mind's eye.. the vision told me it's just the kind of home i really wanted -- and it's very unlike the place i bought. hmm.  

i've been silent about my house-hunting in this space. it's been nothing short of amazing, the experience. it wasn't so clear initially but as i looked back, i felt i couldn't see it any other way. i viewed 12 units in 3 days and i made the decision in a week's. i almost never considered the one that i decided upon eventually. i was actually very put off by its small size and the brain just didn't give it much attention anymore. it was through an old friend (who accompanied me to the viewings on some days) and my SIL who led me back there. i was reminded what i really needed versus what i wanted. then it became crystal clear and making the decision was just so simple and painless. 

i won't be able to move in for a while more cos of the paperwork and approvals. and some more wait time depending on the extent of renovation. i have my ma to thank for this (apart from giving me a hand in the finances). i'm not going to talk about it; it hadn't been easy and i can't guarantee she won't suddenly have some thoughts in her head and then this whole thing goes up in thin air. i'll confess that the bigger issue here is about my decision to let her stay with me. i could say i didn't have a choice. but i did have a choice and i chose it easily. it's not entirely an unconditional and selfless thing to do, if i were dead honest about it. ok, i should stop here. i've left out a whole chunk of details, it just becomes too cryptic from here. 

can someone tell me what's the major difference between tumblr and pinterest? if you noticed, i've pretty much stopped tumblring. don't think i wanna follow the crowd again with pinterest. or there's something more popular now? i'm bringing this up only cos i'd need to start looking for inspiration for the new place, and pinterest seems more organised. i totally suck at home decor i really wish someone would help me make such choices so i don't have to live with my own bad choices. haha.
