Our New House @ Kallang - Moved in on 15th June

15th june is the day that we've been waiting for! Finally, we shifted out on this day as planned. It was kinda last minute that we decide on the week of 9th june to move on 15th june. Very quickly i took 3 days leave to pack my stuffs and get quotations from several movers that i found from internet or recommendation from forum friends.

3 guys came up my house and the quote varies from Citimap @ $330, 138 Professional Mover @ $280(initial quote is $330) and finally Star Cruise Mover @ $220(initial quote is $250). Besides home visit quotation, i also get quotation via phone where got 1 aunty quote me $180 and another uncle at $240. $180 is ridiculously cheap cos they only have 2 uncle to move and the truck is 10 feet long. But i still feel more reliable to get the mover who came up to view the items we have and indicating the quantity that i want to move out. Hence, i decided to go with Alvin from Star Cruise Mover who quote me $220 for all my stuffs (max 50 boxes). :p

On 14th june morning, i received phone call from Star Cruise to confirm my appointment on sunday 15th june at 9am. So professional rite?? ;) 10mins later, they called me back and say they need to schedule it to 11am instead. I was rather angry and insist why i have to wait till 11am and they explain that they have too many jobs at 9am. Well, seemed like i have no choice but to accept the timing. Looking back, i thank god for the change of time! You know why? Cos I was still busy packing the night before until 4am and work up at 7.30am to continue packing. I was still packing when the guys reached my place at 10.30am. The guys called me at 10.15am to inform me that they are on the way to my place and i told them plsssss come later.... hehehee.... :p

5 malay guys came up wearing uniform and a 14 footer truck parked at the carpark. The final count I have is 54 big boxes and about 10 loose items like luggage and electronic boxes, excluding my big items like king size mattress. The guys are rather fast in their action and they also wrapped up my mattress and furniture to protect it. Within 1 hour, everything was loaded up into their truck and they even accomodate a lot of stuffs that were not indicated in the quotation. Their guideline is as long as the truck can squeeze in, they will move for me. So nice right! :)

One funny thing was in the morning, someone passed away at my blk and below my void deck was the funeral wake setup. The malay guys were asking me is it a good sign for chinese? Well i told them that i am christian so i am not so bang-tang lah. Then when we arrive at our new flat, there is malay wedding at the community area and we can even hear the malay songs at our unit. So the malay guys commented that the wedding is to welcome us (good sign)! wahahhaa....

Overall, we are very happy with their service. The entire shifting took only 2 hours and at 12.30pm, everything is unloaded at our new house. Thumbs up for their efficiency! Let me know if you want their number. Reasonable price, fast, good service and funny people. Where to find right?

Well the next nightmare is to unpack my boxes and stuff.... zZzzzzz........
