Drama in Singapore...

...



Yes I know I don't think I have ever said anything negative about Singapore... and I am still not going to... but there is some drama in Singapore... specifically in our condo... regarding our furniture.

Most of you know that we have rented furniture (all our stuff is still back in Houston)... the owner of the condo picked out the furniture before we moved in... and that owner sold the condo in Dec. Since the new owner has taken over... the new owner and the old owner could not come to an agreement on the price of the furniture so the old owner moved all the furniture out on Saturday (the day before Easter) and the new owner was here to help and he moved all the new furniture in over the course of a couple of days... so that is a little of the drama... just a big mess and lots of cleaning and moving.. more drama to come... keep reading.

Ok here is what our placed looked like after everything was moved out... we have bought a couple of inexpensive pieces to put our computer and lamps on...the big box in the middle you will see again in another post but it was the box for the new frig... to see what our old place looked like go here you will see the old glass coffee table, the white couch and dinning table...

And yes we even got new beds and curtains... they took everything... even the clocks on the walls and my only drying wrack... but they left the weight scale... oh please why couldn't they have taken that...

Here is our new frig... which I like better.... score...
Ok... here is real drama... so after the old owner packed everything up, he sat outside for a couple of hours with his big truck and then him and another guy carried one of the bed frames and mattress' to the trash... you have got to be kidding me... after all that and the fact that we did not have a sofa or dinning room table at this time... and we watch this guy take one of the beds to the trash.. it is just crazy what some owners will do... they would rather give to the trash than to someone else... crazy.... I had to get proof and you know I sent this picture to the new owner... oh I am so bad...

The next day the couch came... we were hoping for a darker couch yes... but this one is a bit small and hard... but looks nice... no more napping on the couch for us...
And today the dinning room table came... I think the color scheme is much nicer and homier feeling (if that is a word)... but I am still ready to get back home to my furniture... but we are still thankful...
Here is our table... yet another marble top but so much better... and the chairs are better... if you want to see the history of all our tables here in Singapore.... go here...
Thanks for listening to the drama in Singapore... we are getting back to normal around here... and every time Pierce comes to the living room he says.. "we got a new TV, we got a new mote (remote), we got a new couch, we got a new chair, we got a new table"... he tells me every time... and I just say 'wow... that is awesome'... and then he thinks all this new stuff is awesome... so easy...
