New Home, What Next


Congratulations on buying your first property; you’ll be excited and ready for your future ahead. It’s no secret that moving is right up there with potentially some of the most stressful life situations you’ll ever experience. However, (believe it or not) moving day doesn’t have to be a terrible time, and it is possible to feel confident and positive when it comes around. Firstly, look at it as an exciting fresh start, and keep remembering that you’ve worked hard for this apartment or house, and you should enjoy your achievement. Secondly, understand that with a little hard work, planning, and organization; the day will go as smoothly and seamlessly as possible, and you’ll wonder what all the fuss was about.

So, it’s time to get your first home and moving day ready so that you can write a list of everything that can be done before the big day arrives. From things you can complete yourself, to jobs that you’ll need to call in the professionals for; there’s no time like the present to start preparing. You want to remember your move positively, and, you might even make some fun memories along the way. The following are some ideas, tips, and inspiration for those who are about to tackle their moving day with the power or preparation, for a stress-free and smooth experience ahead.

Protect Your Items

You’ll probably have collected an array of things that you want to keep in the future, and take to your new property. Therefore, you’ll also want to protect them, and insurance is your best option to do this (apart from being careful on moving day). Take a look at companies like One Sure Insurance who will be able to provide home insurance and cover the things that matter the most; both financially and sentimentally. You’ll have peace of mind that your precious cargo will be taken care of for the years ahead in your new abode.

Book The Right People For The Job

Unless you’re the proud owner of a removal van and a lot of heavy lifting doesn’t phase you; you’ll need to ensure that you’ve already searched for moving companies. Finding a reputable removal company will become more difficult the longer you leave it; great teams get booked-up fast, so don’t get left with people that won’t take care of your delicate smaller items and your favorite (and expensive) furniture. You’ll also need to ensure that you’re hooked up to everything you need when you’ve arrived in your new home. Therefore, try to arrange for someone to come and install your internet, gas, electricity, and ensure that your plumbing is running smoothly so that you can enjoy a hot shower after all that heavy lifting.

Never Stop Organizing

You’ll want to make sure that you can find things with ease when it comes to unpacking in your new home. Therefore, ensure that all your boxes are labeled with the room you want the removal team to put them in and the contents of the box. Wrap-up fragile items well, and again, label them clearly so that you don’t open a box full of smashed or broken objects.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
