Collection of Keys

Finally after 3 years of waiting, we finally gotten our keys to our new flat !

During this period of waiting, we visited countless number of new BTOs, studying their structure, criticizing the workmanship etc. It gave us an activity that we can do together and gave us inspirations and heads up on what we want or avoid at the new house.

We arrived at HDB Hub an hour before the appointment time and sign up for fire insurance and open an account with PUB before key collection. 

So for the traditional Chinese families, there are some rituals that needs to be done to bring "good luck" to the family. Although we are not superstitious, we thought why not just do it for the sake of doing it !

We prepared Pineapple (Wealth), Salt (Spirits), Rice (Food) and Green Bean (Growth)
1. Roll the pineapple to the middle of the house and shout "发啊“
2. Throw salt and rice to every corner of the house 
3. Plant green beans in the house 


*PS: Do not scatter the rice and salt if your house doesn't have any flooring unless you don't mind laying your tiles over it. 


We then proceeded to look for defects in the house and submitted the defects list within a week later.
