New chapter of our life journey - Hong Kong

It had been more than a month since our arrival on 25 February 2011. We had the most hectic moments in the past month, from homeless to a fully furnished home, from school-less to a happy boy who enjoys his school everyday, from a non-cantonese homemaker to a homemaker who "survived" the "chicken & duck talk" in the markets (though there are vast improvement needed to be a fluent cantonese speaker).

Tiring is for sure but i am feeling very accomplished. We rented this apartment at a very good price and most importantly, i love my new home so much! It's just beside the Tolo Harbour, overlooking the horse-racing course and the Fotan area, a clubhouse with good amenities especially the indoor children playroom that my boys always go crazy there, the accessibilities to ben's office, dry & wet market, library etc..  And we built up our little nest with a minimal budget of less than S$5k, including all the furnitures, electrical appliances, curtains, lightings etc, and all these settled within our 1st 10 days in HK! :)

The boys sleep in their own room and we finally have our bedroom just for hubby and me. Though it so much smaller compared to our previous apartment at Beijing (half of the previous size), but i love the coziness of it, and housechores are more manageable as we don't have a helper now. But we may get a part-time cleaner that comes once or twice a week though, i still need to keep my sanity and spend my quality time with my boys, that's the priority!
