Finally moved in!

Updated: Managed to take some photos yesterday. The frustrating thing is our faulty bed has not been replaced!

After more than 2 months putting up in Janet's and Duane's place in Melbourne, Johanna and I have finally found our own apartment, right opposite Albert Park. We are really grateful to Janet and Duane for their generosity in allowing us to share their great apartment.

Our new place is an apartment within a heritage building built in 1930s. But the apartment has been nicely refurbished. It is only 300m away from my workplace (AIG Life) along St Kilda Road. Come March, I may be able to watch the Australian Gran Prix from my window if the organisers do not put up high barriers around Albert Park. The apartment is very spacious, with 2 bedrooms.

We got our keys last Wednesday evening. The weekend before that we have booked our furniture so that they could be delivered within the week itself. Last weekend we bought electrical appliances, including an LCD TV and a fridge. We've rented a car so that we could buy other household items as well. Despite the hefty amount spent, it was great to shop for all these together with Jo. It is a part of marriage which I haven't experienced before as I've got my home in Malaysia before getting married.

The furniture arrived on Thursday and ever since we've been busy fixing them up. Both of us really enjoyed the DIY experience. Unfortunately, there was some defect on a piece of wood for our bed. Apparently, three holes are missing from it. We are still waiting for the furniture shop to come over to inspect and replace the faulty piece. Otherwise, everything has been put in place. We've also cooked our first meal over the weekend.

More pictures to follow soon.
