After several search, we landed up in the neighborhood were we stay, a vehicle agent (more trustable than car owner but have to pay price lor).
Olds mobile caravan. A gold color one. Very nice and good condition. Got side doors can open. One auto and the other manual. We have TV inside and video (but not working) and cassette player (but who plays that).
When we were at the agent place, we witnessed to a fight with commission for the purchse of our car. Poor agent that lost the fight coz we saw his sad face. & here again we witnessed how fortunate Singaporeans are that they didn't have to fight for tips from customer coz it is all shared end of the day.

Found 2nd Car
We found a 2nd car after 3 weeks I guess and lost track of time. Couldn't recall the what model car was it coz we were viewing so many cars already by now! Actually, I don't really care what car we get just have four wheels and can run, can already. However, my hubby keep on hunting for a caravan. Sigh.....
This caravan cost us $1600. Cheap hor.. not agent... transfer was quick. This man was real quick to get rid the car and we didn't suspect it at all. Took us to a 3rd party title transfer and the car was ours. Then what happen? Into 1 week plus, the car broke down at the highway and had to be towed away. Repairing it would cost $1000. I like WHAT! Now down goes the drain our money! Suddenly I felt so angry with that CHEAT! Engine got problem also sell! We are back to the drawing board for the hunt again. This is history and scrap cost $300. ROTTEN LUCK!

There but not really yet!
We have settled our boxes and most of our stuff in 1 week. Everything is almost settled except for some other details below is still outstanding.
1. Another car for me to drive the children to and from school
2. Register them for school
3. The tuition
Ok.. we planned to start off with the register my girl for her elementary school here coz that can't wait. Planned to have her in Palm Valley Elementary coz that is the good school and good teachers there as so I heard that their reputation on internet is good. Then, I called the Litchfield Elementary that day and they told me no she belong to Corte Sierra Elementary. Drove over to Corte Sierra Elementary and check the place out. When I finally went down to Litchfield Elementary to register my girl, she ended up in Rancho Santa Fe Elementary which was the school hubby's colleague told us about before we came here. I like, what is this? Don't they know their school and district? Sigh... but never mind... I am so confuse that I don't know if I wanted to request for a transfer. Then, transfer procedure was I can only put up next year. So in the end, my girl still have to study at Rancho Santa Fe Elementary until my request for transfer have been reviewed. Sigh .... sad! Then, I think FORGET IT!
Second, I wrote e-mails to the Chinese tuition teacher Ms Oh to find out details of schedule and procedure. My hubby submitted the tuition registration to the admin and we are all set with the children's tuition in Chinese. It will begin 1 Aug 2011 for both of them.
Meanwhile, we are also looking out for a 2nd car. We haven't been having any luck with it. Hubby kept looking out for another second hand car at the craglist. Going up and down and burning our weekends to find the other car was tedious especially in the very hot hot sun here. Then the ads that were put up are also not sincere. The words they described were always condition is good and when we view it, it wasn't as per described. However, who can blame them? They want to get rid of it and if you say this no good and that no good, would you even come see it at all? Don't think so! & the search continues!

Box Arrived!
The boxes finally arrived early in the morning! We were all so glad that our things are here! The big truck pulled into our driveway and I was shocked to realize only one person working. Poor man! In Singapore, we had 3-4 for man to move the 40 boxes we had. Wow.. we are fortunate and I suddenly felt that somemore Singaporeans can complain life no good. Sigh.. this man have to carry boxes after boxes all by himself without any help and still have to move on to other houses once he is done.
Now our house is in a mess with boxes here and there. Once complete, we waste no time by first setting up the computer coz the poor laptop really have been stretched to its limit for the past almost 1 month plus. I was tired during this time coz I busy unpacking the stuff with hardly any rest coz we just need to have to settle down soon.
