Yea yea yea…..We have just “moved” into the new house.
Hence, Mamarazzi no time to blog hop. Really Big Big Project …have to pack and
unpack. Packing is easy but unpacking was a headache. Have to think where to put the things.
Moreover, no internet line yet over here. Mr M's data line is practically non-existing. Gotta buy 4D if got data line from Mr M.
Need to go to McDonald or one of those free WiFi places to get online. So, jangan marah ye if I didn't drop by your blogs but will sure try and drop by if there is line.

Everything was a bit rushed. Kitchen Cabinets ,
air-conditioning and some things not fixed on yet, went we moved in on 19th
August. Ah Mah was coming on 22nd August. Have to get everything on
track lor.
Initially I wanted my room to be “rainbow” colors but then I revised it to be blue. Two shades of blue. One dark blue and one light blue.
Thank you Jie Jie Diana Diane Teo for this gift. It arrived
just before we moved.
Two days before we moved, Auntie S and Auntie Florence came
over to help with the packing. Fuiyoh…very syok leh coz they “tapau-ed” Sri
Petaling’s famous Nasi Lemak for us. Yup…It’s located opposite Lucky
Restaurant. This Nasi Lemak stall very syok one leh. They give you the packet
of rice and you can take any “liu”(cucumber, peanuts, anchovies, hard boiled
eggs, chicken and etc) as much as you like.
Thank you very much to Auntie S and Auntie Florence for all
your help .
The day before we were scheduled to move, the contractor
were still busy at work. That evening
after they left, I get to make a mess.
Yup, you heard me right. According to certain Chinese
custom, before you moved into a new house, you have to sprinkle Rice+rock
salt+tealeaves all over the house. This is in order to chase away any evil
spirits residing there.
And according to Uncle SK, also on the day when you moved into the house, must turned on the fans full blast and boil water…hence adhere to Chinese saying “Fung Shan, Shui Hei” (Wind Mountain, water up) which means good luck will come to the house.
Nah…Papa does not believe in all these mumbo jumbo…what look for good dates to move house la…or cannot move house during Ghost Festival month la. But Mamarazzi thought what the heck. Since everyone says must sprinkle those things lor…just hentam do la.

The night before, I had fun sprinkling the Rice+rock
salt+tealeaves at all corners of the house. While sprinkling I say “Go away! Go
away, please. I want to move in”.
Well, as kitchen was “Work-in-progress”, Mamarazzi did not
boil water in a big pot in the kitchen. Instead she used electric kettle to
boil water in what formerly was the “kitchen”. Hope it will work just as
well …..
Meantime , as MeCoy says..."Happy Blogging!"

Great news!! HUGE news!!! I LOVE the beautiful pale yellow room. And you looks so cute in your room holding the drink! The two shades of blue will be awesome!! I had not heard of this tradition about what you do to the house, but Auntie must have gotten a house with crying spirits living there, very depressing! I hope her next house was a happy one!
ReplyDeleteYeah she had since moved to a new house
Deletehaha, yea indeed the ang moh ghost will glide.
ReplyDeleteai, it's just superstitious.
don't think about what I say. I shifted to an old house but yours is a brand new house. So should be no problem shifting in.
I also sprinkled rice mixed with salt all over my new house before we shifted in.
Keong si jump :p
Deleteguess salt and rice is usual over here
Congrats on moving to your new house! Very nice! I moved to my place during chinese 7th month too. So far is ok. So no need to worry lah.
ReplyDeleteOpposite Lucky restaurant, got nasi lemak like that? I have been there many times but did not know this. Thanks for sharing.
Yes...opposite restaurant lucky. But by 9.30 the stall would be closed.
DeleteOpposite it - you mean across the road, near the same "field" as the wet market and car park?
DeleteYes at the road side by the "field" there.ngum ngum oppisite lucky.
DeleteNow I see they hv built some small glass "shop" at the field. They hv wet market there? I've not been there in the morning for more than 10 years.

ReplyDeleteI only like to move in once all the contractors done with their job otherwise it'll be endless circles of cleaning! O_O
No time for headache pun....still hv some more drilling to do I think....
DeleteAda ke patut cilaka contractor make balcony senget sebelah....now when rain...water bertakung one side of the balcony. I hv to mop up the excess water coz the water going out punya hole is the the side. If leave it, later licin I fall dwn lagi teruk.
So, everyone settled in nicely now?
ReplyDeleteok lo...
DeleteWah! New home!
ReplyDeleteSmall Kucing must be very happy with the new home, especially his bedroom and library. Happy moving.
Yeah, a lot of works in new home. All those cleaning and unpacking. Never ending. I actually take about a month and plus to finish unpack all the stuff.
he manyak syok leh running up and down
Deleteooh, this BIG PROJECT is even bigger than what i guessed earlier on, hehehe!! i maybe that big project i have been thinking was already denied by that trip to the mooncake warehouse sales the other day, haha!!
ReplyDeletemooncake punya is after this...:p
Deletereally a HUGE PROJECT i would say, not only big.. moving is indeed something huge since you've got lots of things to do and to follow up.. three weeks passed and i supposed more or less settled everything already?? of course i still think there are still tiny little chores that has not been done yet lah, those slowly slowly entertain them lor.. :)
ReplyDeletestill have a lot to be done.....this and that...some more drilling need to be done
Deleteso nice of Auntie S and Auntie Florence!! they went all the way to your house to help with the packing, and also brought you the nice nasi lemak!! wow, i would like to try that lah.. everything self-service that sounds interesting, but then i also worried i will overdo (because too excited) and take too much i cannot finish~~ haha!!
ReplyDeletethat nasi lemak really syok..you can take what you like...if you dont like bilis and like kacang,.you can take more kacang and no bilis
Deletehaha, paparazzi sure has only one goal in his mind lah, which is to get the house ready ASAP.. but then no harm also to do all those traditional rituals, for peace of mind mah.. and i am sure small kucing had lots of fun doing that, first time ever mamarazzi allowed him to "throw" things onto the floor, haha!! :D
ReplyDeletehe sure love "making mess" LOL
Deletechinese ghost walk and angmoh ghost glide?? haha?? are you sure.. i've watched lots of movies, those ghost can walk can jump can glide and even can fly!! ooopsss, luckily it's already past the 7th lunar month now, else better not talk about all these, later Anay will nag us~~ :D
ReplyDeletehaha..so funny! You made me laugh..
Deleteah moh ghost got jump meh.....fly got la...or those kejap ada kejap hilang

DeleteYour grill doors really attracted my eyes. It is simple and nice pattern!
ReplyDeleteAnay,
DeleteI love those old style grills. The ones in homes built in 1960s and 1970s. To me they are beautiful and has character. :)
simple coz orang malas mah.
DeleteI like the old grille pattern too but when think of it need to paint...headache.
I heard that the spirits will eat those rice, water and salt etc before going away. I am not sure of the beliefs that they are not able to step on them.
ReplyDeleteeat ka? But they have not been cooked wor.
DeleteNow you have a bigger home, so your barang-barangs are easier to fit inside the house.
ReplyDeletethat is true. easier if small house move to big

ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteSo this is your big, big project. Heartiest Congratulations! I always enjoy moving house because I always like a new environment. I'm sure you would enjoy your new home too.
ReplyDeleteYour Mamarazzi must be loving the room for all her books - a new library no less. And your blue room must be breezy and cool.
Good that you and your M followed some suggestions on 'cleansing' the new environment. No loss but plenty to gain in the long run. Enjoy your new home!
Thanks :)
DeleteWow, very nice new home. Congrats ya! Show more pics la ;) We also moved in (PJ home last time) during the 7th Chinese ghost month. As long as you are not superstitious, ok one la ;)
