So we made the move to a bigger house with 2 bedrooms and the living room alone is already bigger than our previous room.  Papa said so I can get a helper and more comfortable when he has to leave for NZ again in mid March, for longer period.
The offer came on 5 Jan (if I remember correctly), just a few days before papa had to leave for NZ so we asked the housing officer if we could move in Feb. At first she said ok but later on she said she had to charge us something for the long delay. Oh well.
So we moved on Sunday 17 Feb 2013 to ST5. We requested some repair works in advance and papa came to check several times, I cleaned the room on the day of the move. We booked two khun who usually work as gardener here. But we hadn't expected that our friends would come to help us. They really made the move faster, at first we thought that we had to do it the next day. Tio played outside with our friends' children (Devan, Farrell and Bimo while Dewi played with Jeremy).
I offered some Yuppy candies around and Jeremy asked me for biscuit. But I didn't give him because he just finished lunch. So Jeremy approached tante Intan and said "tante Diah, I want biscuit" ;)) tante Diah is our friend who is so good in baking that we ordered cakes for special occasion  to her. Tante Intan is our next-next-door neighbor. Both of them wear hijab ...so everyone was laughing because of Jeremy :D
The first day we only stayed in the kids' room and ate on the floor inside the same room but it felt normal :D  after more than a year living in a studio apartment (first Latphrao Dec 2011-Apr 2012 then AIT May 2012-Feb 2013).
The first time I cleaned the house it's so dusty, but now after several days it is getting better. So tired with the cleaning coz usually it takes me only max 1 hour to get everything cleaned but now it is around 1.5 hours or more. The boys are happy they can run around.
It is lot hotter and dustier than the house in ST 7 and lots of small bugs on the floor :( and Jeremy had some raised red bumps almost every day after we moved here. But not too much and seems he's not bothered. Hope it won't be like Tio before. Perhaps Tio 's bumps were also caused by these small bugs (J's bed is our own, it's a play yard but can be used for sleeping, so it can't be the mattress).
So I don't know whether I can hire maid. Maid wouldn't bother to smash the small2 bugs when sweeping or mopping and I don't want the children to be bitten. But I am also tired everyday and my heels and bottom of my feet are already cracking and so ugly :P Oh well...
