I think the two main things we will miss from our old house is the convience of Toa Payoh across the road and the view

As it turned out my conspiracy theory turned to be correct.
The story we got told as why we had to move out of the house in Toa Payoh was that the owners son was getting married and was going to live there. I thought they just telling us that to get us out of the house so as to rent the place out at a higher rent.
We left the kitchen ikea shelves up as the kitchen had no storage space at all, but when we were handing over the owner said no she didn’t want them and we had to remove the units. So we cam home to get the tool kit to take it apart to remove it. We were about 3/4 the way through taking it apart when the owner came in and gestured us outside, she didn’t speak english but we got the message she wanted us out NOW We were both thinking silly lady grrrrrrr. But then as we got outside it all fell into place up came a real estate agent with a couple to view the house :-)we had caught them out in their lies.
When I went back upstairs to return the keys to her that we had forgotten about the real estate agent was leaving, I asked him how much she was asking for, he says “$2″ I found it very hard not to laugh. $2k for that she must be mad” so my conspiracy theory was correct. Makes our new place seem ever better And thankfully it happened now and not in September.

We are slowly  but surely unpacking and getting settled in. 
We arrived in Singapore with 2 suitcases and ~4boxes, we now have over 100boxes
plus lots of bookshelves, desks, chairs and a bed

We are getting there

Attended the World Internet Mega Summit over the past few days, The highlight was the challenge where Stephen Pierce raised over $100,000 USD in 64 hours and donated it to charity. In the past they have given the money to a participant, but Stephen thought it was far better to give the money to “Feed the Children”.  He is amazing man to be around, and is about opening your eyes to the good that can be achieved on the internet and that making money money on the internet involves relationships and helping people. How he he did it is using http://foragreatercause.org.

After a month of sending emails and submitting tickets and trying to find a contact phone number to contact my old hosting company(Speedhostingz) and recieving absolutely no reply I have given up on them and moved my blog to another hosting company.
Unfortuantly I have lost all my past content from my blog :-(  but I am back up and running, and I have the technology to rebuild it bigger, better, faster than b4
