Finally. New Locks!

sheesh... I've been asking Hub to change the locks of the house or to secure it properly to the metal gate.

The metal lock's bracket is too big for the gate so it was always moving and sliding along. I've been having problems with it for a long time. And the lock on the wooden door was misaligned for a long long time. And hub just din bother coz his key no problem mine has!

So finally after the tenant shifted out, on the reason that we cannot be sure that she has not duplicated another set of keys, we SHOULD and MUST change the locks.

It took me another 1 month of nagging to finally get Hub to move.

And he still did not.

I can't take it anymore and I called our renovation contractor and he told me easy thing la. Just change the lock. He'll fix it for us. Bring hub to buy and then fix for us.

YAY!!!

So on Saturday, he came, took out the lock, brought hub with him to Geylang (I think) while I stayed home to guard the house waiting for them to come back.

All was done within 2 hours!

It looked so easy for him to do it lor.

Come, take out lock, bring lock to shop, get a new one, come back, Fix.

He also fixed the store room door lock for us at the same time. I'm happy.

I just don't understand why Hub forever have to wait for me to loose my temper before he finally moves. *sigh*

I also don't want to nag him lei. But tell him nicely, he don't want to listen and keep insisting that the tenant will NOT have a duplicate. How come he so sure lei? Just to be on the safe side ma. No?

Then have to wait for me to loose my temper, argue with him, then he happy and ok lor. change.

Cannot take it.

Anyway, the wooden door's lock change. The store room's lock changed too. And coz I was complaining that the metal lock does not sit nicely on the gate, after mass last evening, we went to home fix DIY and he got 2 metal rings and secure it.

So now, I FINALLY have my locks sitting nicely and changed! At the expense of $100. A little heart pain yes. But I feel safer now though.

Almost 4 years to get it done.

U say can die or not?!

*SIGH*

Mooncake Festival!

The Lunar Eight Month has arrived!

I'm glad. So. VERY. glad that it's finally the 8th month. Not coz of anything, but hey! No more burnings at the void decks! No more additional smoke caused by our own local people! No more dirty footprints, no more strays roaming around for leftover food!

YAY!!!

Best of all, mooncakes are here! Not that I am a fan. I don't particularly like mooncakes. In fact, there's only 2 kinds that I eat.

Yam or Durian.

The rest. Thanks by no thanks. I truly don't know how to appreciate these small round/square expensive little of whatever-sar in them things.

I've always like Crown Prince, Orh Nee (Yam) mooncakes... but after Crown Prince closed down, don't know where to get them anymore. But this year, my girlie told me it's now available from Peony Jade. The 4 chefs of Crown Prince went to them and hence, I've been on a quest to look for Peony Jade.

I finally found it at NTUC, AMK HUB.

My first box of mooncakes this year.Peony Jade - Crispy skin Orh Nee Mooncakes!

No egg yolk. (Those with egg yolks have a red dot on it)I don't know how to appreciate that golden 'moon' inside something sweet as well. And since, its meant for my own consumption, I don't need to get it with yolk. It's already sinful enough without that 'moon'.

This 4 pc of yummies just cost me $39! That's almost $10 a piece. But oh well... once a year, and I do like it. Heart pain pain buy and savor 1 box lor.

All in, I will need to get another 2 boxes of some mooncakes. Parents and parents in law. My family likes orh nee mooncakes as well but Peony Jade only has it in 4 pc... my family prefer the 8 pc kind so that they (or rather mom) can split up the box and offer it to the deities and ancestors.

I don't exactly know which kind my in laws like. The dilemma is I know FIL likes mixed nuts, but MIL is diabetic and have high BP... I try to get those low-er sugar ones for her. But 2 boxes would be too much... so, I guess, I shall just go for something that's low in sugar. After all, there's only 4 of them in the household now, if I were to get them 2 boxes, OBIL would be getting a box and I'm pretty sure PIL will also get a box, then there's like 4 boxes!

Way tooooo sinful for 2 old folks and 2 young and healthy men nevertheless!
