The New Day Has Come Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Friday, June 27, 2008

The new day has come!

We waited exactly three months and 12 days to get the keys to Reiki Sanctuary.  And when it is finally here, the wait didn't feel that long.  It feels that time moves rather fast.  We are yet to finalize the design nor have we decided on the contractors. 

There are still things that we have not purchased - the air-conditioning system, living room sofa, dining table and lights, TV and many many other things.

Electricity and water supplies start today.  It is a transfer from the previous owner down to us.  As such, renovation can actually starts anytime.

Mr Monteiro, the previous owner, moved out yesterday.  He was able to renovate his new 3-rooms flat in about two weeks.  Am glad and happy for him and his wife. We had arranged for the handover and inspection at 11 am today and agreed that it should be done without the presence of the house agent.

It is such a great joy to see our new house.  Mr Monteiro does a very good job - he had really cleaned the house!  What left are the fittings and build-in cabinets.  Geez, and all the interior of the cabinets are clean too!

Earlier, we did a simple cleansing and blessing in the house.  It was a similar act that we did when we got Hertford too.  Basically, it was just the sprinkling of rice and salt all over the house.  Importantly, we needed to verbalize and internalize positive thoughts and prayers as we moved from room to room.

Some pictures of the house today:

The main door

We will hack away the wall next to the door and replace it with a glass sliding door.  It will also be the entrance to the kitchen.

As you can see, the house is like sparkling clean!  We appreciate what Mr Monteiro and his wife had done.  Thank You!  And may God Bless the two of you!
