Worst Tiff with Sis to date

Last night, I believe I probably had the worst tiff with my sister to date. It was over her insults at my decision to accept a Nepresso coffee machine from my bro and sis-in-law as a house-warming gift. She said it was a white elephant gift and ridiculed my poor decision calling me my mum's "baobei laoya" daughter in mandarin which kinda just threw me in a rage, and made me spew venom at her. The incident made me realise how evil I am and can be when antangonised and aggravated.

In any case, it was good to have poured out my woes to D and she treated me to lunch just now. Also, I drove her to Yishun St 43 to have a sneak preview of what my renovation works in progress look like. She also said she wanted to get me a housewarming gift of a few hundred dollars. I suggested a set of WMF cookware that is $100plus. I do not wish for her to spend too much. God has given me super generous friends and family. Praise Him indeed!

New Home on the way

I have become a proud new home owner on 1 November 2018. My dearest mum and my childhood bestie bore witness to my key collection event at the HDB Hub. On that afternoon, three potential contractors have viewed my flat. The very next day, God sent Matthew, a church friend, an interior designer who is also an actor and singer to consult with the layout and design of my flat.

I pray for wisdom to work with the right people for the right home that will glorify God the most. Yet, I also pray that I will keep to the $15k budget that I had. If reno package with contractor is $11k, ID fee is $3k, I only have $1k left for miscellaneous items.

Lord, I pray that I will enjoy the process of doing up this home for your glory. Amen!
