House Warming
With the impending GST hike, Miss H has decided to pack her bags and find a new home before it appreciates by 2%. (1.5% after some haggling, even GST also can bargain!)
And what better time to do it than during the wonderfully festive season?
As you can see, my house is quite bare right now but it'll fill up with barang barang soon enuf!
Post X'mas flea market
After the cheery greetings, yummy log cakes *burps* and clinking of glasses, you begin to unwrap the pressies. What lurks beneath the pretty wrappers might jus dampen your holiday spirits a wee bit.
Inspired by 98.7 FM’s Muttons in the Morning – X’mas Flea Market - where you can SMS to swap your crap gift for someone else’s, I’ve decided to compile my own list too.
