Home Sweet Home

This post is brought to you by popular demand. 

So we found an apartment! Flat? Not sure what we will call it yet. We secretly enjoy calling each other 'my flatmate' because we think it sounds cool. {Singapore was a Bristish colony until the 1960's so there is heavy British influence} 'Michael quit trying to make flat happen.' 

Long story short - we are thrilled. We ended up finding a place in the River Valley / Robertson Quay area. After consulting anyone and everyone we knew or kind of knew (websites, co-workers, friends of friends, siblings of friends, random Pinterest posts) everything and everyone pointed to the Robertson Quay. It's popular with expats, has great restaurants and nightlife, shopping - everything! We are very excited that we (aka Michael :)) spent the extra time and effort to find the perfect place.

This post will be the first in the 'getting our lives together series.' This is will be the before shot - our rental furniture stage will be the during - and whenever our shipping container decides to show up at some point between 4-8 weeks after we leave NY, that will be the after. Presto!

[Disclaimer: Michael took the pics. Obvi if I were there they would be a little less blurry and at much better angles and staging, but you get the idea. Sigh. Why don't guys understand the importance of picture taking?! Just kidding - love you Michael. But seriously...]

WELCOME! Walking in the front door. 

Main room + mini fratio + the new view. We are on the 12th floor of 13.  

Looking to your left: common bath at the end of the hall. Master bedroom and study to the right. Kitchen + guest bedroom to the left. 

Kitchen (not enclosed) 

Through the kitchen, outside, washer/dryer + semi sketchy toilet and bomb shelter/maids quarters(?) 

End of hallway to bath + bedrooms. 

Guest bedroom. The best view in the house!

Office/ 3rd bedroom/ mini man cave. 

Master bed + master bath INSIDE the bedroom. Say whaaaat?!?

Master bed. 

One of the pools. Michael says we're going to start swimming laps everyday. (He DID hold a 10&U backstroke record until just this summer after all). 

Confession: this post was pure propaganda. Now who's coming to visit us??
