Almost Done!!

2008-02-23T18:14:00.003+08:00

We went to check out our house just now. It's almost completed. We saw some workers were fixing the wiring at the car park level. Now I eagerly waiting for the keys to be handled to us. We thought of going inside to take a look at the work done on landscaping. Too bad, the security guard disallow us to. Yeap, the guard house has security guard already and I think the design of the guard house is cool. I really can't wait to get the key and take a look of our unit. Let's keep the fingers crossed that everything will go smoothly.

Super Duper tired

2008-01-24T20:44:00.001+08:00

I slept 4.5 hours today and got to wake up at 6.30 in the morning to go out before 7 to beat the morning traffic. Gosh... I didn't know I was able to make it until 5pm. It was not that easy. I was really tired and sleepy and yet I got to supervise the attendees of the trainees until the end of session. Phew!!! Thank God that the remaining 2 days postponed to next week. It was all because I didn't prepare enough. *sigh* I am deprived of my beauty sleep. *sob sob* Let's just hope, this coming weekend I will guai guai finish the teaching material. I really do not want to burn midnight oil again. It's so suffering.

10000 and more to go

2007-12-25T21:32:00.000+08:00

Piggy babe had reached the 10000 mark on Christmas eve. *sigh* It's a sign to tell that she is not young anymore. Yeap she is 5 months old now. But she looks older than her real age because I don't take good care of her outlook that great. I am such a lousy owner. *sigh*

Mix Feeling

2007-12-22T22:10:00.000+08:00

The J training was over and it's already 1 week since I went back to office. After 1 week off my task, the past 1 week was like picking up my task from where I left behind. I was trying my best to finish off whatever left so that I can officially start getting my hand dirty on something new, something I learned from the training. At least that can add some spice to my current task. Not bad also rite?

2008 is approaching soon. I shall hope for a good year coming ahead. Shall I come up with a resolution lists this round? It's been quite sometime since I last did some self-reflection kind of thingy. I guess it's time to sit down quietly again to do some thinking and to virtually map my route.

最浪漫的事

2007-12-09T22:29:00.000+08:00

背靠着背坐在地毯上
听听音乐聊聊愿望
你希望我越来越温柔
我希望你放我在心上
你说想送我个浪漫的梦想
谢谢我带你找到天堂
哪怕用一辈子才能完成
只要我讲你就记住不忘
我能想到最浪漫的事
就是和你一起慢慢变老
一路上收藏点点滴滴的欢笑
留到以后坐着摇椅慢慢聊
我能想到最浪漫的事
就是和你一起慢慢变老
直到我们老的哪儿也去不了
你还依然把我当成手心里的宝

J Training

2007-12-01T13:44:00.000+08:00

I was informed by my PM that there would be another colleague who is based at a client site all this while(and I haven't met him before), is going to attend the training with me. Good! At least there is a ka ki lang there. But I was wondering why he needs that training course as I am going to attend a beginner level course. *scratch head* Or maybe he is attending another course? I will know it soon...

S&P in hand finally

2007-12-01T13:39:00.000+08:00

Finally got the S&P and loan agreement in my hand now after 10 months time. I don't exactly know the time needed for them to complete the thing but it was only recently that I realized I didn't get my copy. Thus I made a trip to the developer office to enquire. The girl was very helpful and promised to help me check on it. Few days later, it was confirmed that the docs were still at the law firm. Great! At least they are in somewhere safe and not lost! Dad was asking about the when I can get the key.....

Thank God for giving me such an arrangement!

2007-11-24T10:22:00.000+08:00

I am so happy when the training provider center called me to say that they have a class on the 2nd week of next month. Hooray!!! I was supposed to attend the Nov class but some attendees last minute withdrew and left me only. Thus, they cancelled the class. This training is something that I have been longing for and never thought I would really got the chance to attend. Somemore, it's sponsored by company. My company has played it's part by training me up, thus, I have to play my part by working extra hard to master it. Thank God for everything..... This training definitely helps me to progress further in my job. I am so looking forward to it.

Mixed Feeling

2007-11-18T09:49:00.000+08:00

I have mixed feelings. I was not very emotionally stabled recently. Small small issues were enough to drive me nuts and made me cried so pathetically. It must be the hormones or it was just that i was bursting because of i have been suppressing all these for awhile which my conscious mind didn't realize? I was crying the other day in the car while driving alone. It's a real cry which I just can't help to stop. I find it more a relief after crying. I do wonder if I was not placed to be at this point of life now, what would my life be? Do I have alternatives? Do you wish to have a second chance to opt again at a certain point of your life? I do sometimes think impractically. What if this and what if that. *slap* girl, pls wake up.....nobody is gonna help you if you choose to live in the past.

First Paid Shower for Piggy Babe

2007-10-13T20:30:00.000+08:00

I brought piggy babe for her first shower in KL last Sunday. She needed that very much. Howver, it started to drizzle right after the shower. Hai~~~

Health, please be with us!

2007-09-08T23:04:00.001+08:00

Lately, I have been paying attention to home furnishing. Ikea had just distributed it's yearly catalogue. What's more, of coz I will read through every page of it (macam lah I banyak duit beli).

I have just bought 2 female magazines last night. Ironically, I only simply glance through them. It seems that I lost the passion already ever since I got a new company which is Internet access! I start to feel scare reading female magazine. Cancer awareness ads are everywhere. I hate to face the reality that human is so vulnerable. Why don't all these terminal illnesses leave us alone? Shooh! Go away!

Health is very important. Real important! I wish everyone can live a healthy and happy life.

此言差矣

2007-09-02T21:23:00.000+08:00

All of a sudden, I sang this line '我很丑~可是我好温柔' in the car.

Then TY uttered, '此言差矣'.

So I asked, 'The 此言 refers to which part?'

TY replied, 'Of course the 我好温柔'

So I said, ' That means I shall sing, 我很丑~可是我好不温柔 is it?'

TY LOL!

The conclusion is, he thinks I am ugly and not gentle as well. Gals, can you take this?

Am I happy?

2007-08-31T18:32:00.000+08:00

Yeap, I have a fair share of fun times at work. Colleagues are great! They are great in making you losing blood at a very extreme pace. I might be complaining of having iron deficiency, but deep down, I feel happy working with them. Less stress! Eventhough the expenses of working there higher and to be increased(parking rate increased to hourly rate), I started to feel comfortable working there. Every now and then, there will be makan sessions. Yes, most of them are kaki-makan. They know where to dig for nice foods. I never been to Klang for BKT, they brought me there. I never been to Teluk Gong for seafood, they brought me there. Looking forward to having more makan sessions with them. Yummy!!! Btw, TY still have another voucher in hand. That means we are going to King Crab again this weekend! Yes!

Four-Legged Shrek

2007-08-30T00:08:00.000+08:00

Well Well Well, I have brought my green stool to office already. It is staying overnight there for like a week already. I guess it is doing great. My colleague who sits next to me, said it looks like Shrek. So there it goes, Shrek! Sometimes it's kinda cute to name things around us. Aiksss! I have yet to name my laptop. It's not cute thus I didn't have the tendency to label it with a name. But I have an idea in mind regarding the cosmetic things of my laptop. Hehehe!! How about label it with stickers? Nyek Nyek Nyek!!!

Oh ya! I had my piggy babe's butt smacked last Friday nite. With what? A big 'tong'! Yes....I was blaming the sensor but in fact I ignored the sensor's alarm. So the consequences, a small spot of paint came off. LOL! Last Saturday, I had my piggy babe's body covered with SPF-60. Finally, manage to apply sun block lotion to my piggy babe before her full moon. Piggy Babe, I hope you and I will be the best partner! Muaks Muaks Muaks

Trip to IKEA

2007-08-20T23:10:00.001+08:00

We went to Ikea last Saturday. I was tricked by the Ikea sales advertisement in the papers that showed plastic bins on sale at RM9.90 each. Before we even enter the upper floor, I saw a "SOLD OUT" sticker pasted on the plastic bin printed on an advertisements there. "Gig sei ngo lah". It was my third time there but my first time that I bought something. Haha! Asking why I went there the previous 2 trips? Eat-Full-Nothing-Do and get some inspirations loh... This time I bought 2 items only.

I have been thinking of getting myself a small stool to be used as my leg rest at office. But this Mammut stool I got from Ikea is just too cute that I reluctant to bring it to office. It's only RM19.90. It's still sitting nicely in the room. Let's wait till I got bored of it, then I may consider taking it to office to be left there over night. But hey hey hey...it's really cute...I'm thinking of buying another 1 or 2 stools as collections. You may think I'm xiao but cannot meh???? Somemore, they do sell the chairpads which look so cute on the stools. Getting crazy edi!

I bought IRMA throw, a very soft light blue material at RM15. Have been eyeing on that throw for quite sometime. Finally made the purchase. A throw can be very comfortable for me when travelling in the car, as a blanket and also something for me to hold on. I'm thinking of getting a cushion cover to store my throw so that I can just leave it the car like that. I know I might not have used the throw as a throw but who cares.

Q & A

2007-08-12T18:57:00.000+08:00

I don't know about others, but my very own dad has the habit of repeating questions. He can keep asking the same question from time to time until the case is closed. Why am I talking about this issue in my 'Home Sweet Home'? Because I realized that in every phone call conversation we had, he definitely will raise this question, "When will your house be completed?" Eventhough I had told him zillion times, I will still give the same answer without fail, "Beginning of next year". See?? Because I know he has this habit, therefore I didn't kick up a fuss. It was the same when I bought my car. He asked several times when I will get my car. So, I answered several time, 'End of next July'. When I got my car, he never ask about this again. So, I guess I need to repeat the same answers right until I got the key of my house. LOL!!! No...he's not very old nor has any Alzheimer disease. He's just 55 only. If he's under the influence of alchohol, situation got even worse. During 1 dinner period, he can ask the same question 3 times. Can you imagine that??? But we already knew this. That's why things that he promised or said during night time might not be valid. LOL! He tends to forget it the next morning. I bet it's because of too much beer all these years. No wonder he kept telling me that drinking alchohol will cause my brain become 'lembap'. And I always defend by saying, you haven't become 'lembap' also after all these years of drinking. HAHA!

Air-Cond

2007-08-12T16:29:00.000+08:00

We may delay the installation of an air-cond unit. I don't know why but I was brought up to think that sleeping in an air-cond room is something very luxury. I guess I haven't feel secure that we can have the luxury yet. But I did do survey on the air-cond unit. Air-cond is notorious in making the electric meter jump rapidly. So, getting a unit which claim to be able to reduce the energy consumption is expected. Panasonic has been promoting this Panasonic Inverter unit which claimed to be able to reduce energy consumption by 20%. Its more environmental friendly and has the ionizer functionality. The price is a bit more expensive than other brand but if it really can save our money on the electric bill, I don't mind paying extra at the very beginning. I have even learned from a forum on choosing suitable HP of air-cond for your room. My room will need a 1.5HP air cond. They said if we use a lower HP air-cond for a bigger room, this may cause the energy consumed to increase. How true is this?

Paints (Part 2)

2007-08-09T01:57:00.000+08:00

Correct Painting Flow

STEP 1: CeilingsAlways paint the ceiling first to avoid dripping on walls and floor. For an even coat, paint across the short width of the ceiling.

STEP 2: WallsPaint borders first and work downwards. It is advisable to start from the brightly lit areas near to windows and paint away from light. This makes it easier to see where you have just painted.

STEP 3: Window and DoorBefore you start, mask areas not to be painted like hinges, knobs or latches. For windows, paint the inner frame fisrt, the other frames last. For doors, paint any moulding first, then the panels, the horizontal and vertical segments and the edges last.

STEP 4: FloorPaint the floor last, after the walls and trims have dried thoroughly. To get the best results, ensure you vacuum and wipe the floor clean of dirt before painting.

Little Reminder

2007-07-27T11:15:00.000+08:00

Wow...It's only July. Our house only ready next year but we received the letter on application for electricity and water utilities. What does this mean? More $$ needed... Yes...deposits have to be paid by mid of August. I am now experiencing what my dad experienced which is find ways to dig for money. Prioritize the expenses. Expenses that can be delayed may be postponed whereas the super high priority ought to be settled first. I shall set a reminder to remind me to visit the developer office.

A Golden Piggy

2007-07-24T10:34:00.000+08:00

I paid the $$ as preparation to bring my babe home. Now I don't own this babe yet. I temporary adopt it or I can commercially say it as I hire my babe. So....my babe shares the same chinese animal sign with me, the cute lil piggy. Oh my piggy babe. Moreover, my babe is a golden piggy. Nyek Nyek Nyek...I have a piggy babe eventhough I am not married. I don't have to carry it for 9 months nor endure the labour pain. LOL! Sorry...a bit dramatic here. Pls forgive me. A bit haywire.

p/s: My babe share the same birthday month as me....will it share the same horoscope sign as me???

My Babe

2007-07-23T12:24:00.001+08:00

My car has arrived. But I have yet brought my $$ to drive my babe home. Coz the sales agent only called me around 4.30pm on Friday. C'mon, bank already tutup kedai lah. Me very lau yah one....Only can withdraw $$ from bank counter. Coz I don't have ATM card mah....Cannot meh? So...most most probably I will get my babe within this week. What will be my car number le? Sorry la kawan...my budget very tight, so cannot afford to pay the runner for special plate number. I can only afford burger ayam special. Nyek Nyek Nyek...Why today I talk like a 3 8? Must be the disease I got from my new job....Babe...I'm coming~~~Pls wait for me..

Paints (Part 1)

2007-07-09T13:59:00.000+08:00

I was surfing the Internet for sample paints available in the market weeks ago. I chanced upon this ICI Dulux Paints website and went in to have a look. They do give free brochures and all you need to do is fill in your particulars at their website. I was surprised to received their mail a few days later as I didn't expect to have such fast response. Enclosed are the ICI Dulux Colour Inspirations 2006 and ICI Dulux Colour Concept Book. They apologized that they have ran out of Home Painting Guide and Duette Special Effects catalogues. Eventhough they sent in the 2006 copy, it is sufficient for me as reference for the time being. There are a few tips on painting that I learned from the booklet they sent to me. Here are some that I would like to share in my blog.

Visual Effect With Colours

1) How to Heighten Low Ceilings

Use light colours
White paint on a ciling is widely used to add height to a room, although any light colour wull work well. Contrast with a dark, advancing wall colour on the walls.
Extend the wall colour
Create the illusion of height by continuing the wall colour onto the cornice and skirting. Complement the effect with a ceiling in a light tone.
Camouflage details
Architectural features such as dao rails can shorten a room's proportions. Hide the problem by painting them the same colour as the wall.

2) How to Deal with Awkward Rooms

Try a one-colour scheme
With sloping ceilings, it is often difficult to decide where the wall ends and the ceiling starts. Solve this problem by treating the whole room with one colour.
Alter the shape of a room
Emphasize walss with strong advancing colour to alter the room's proportions. Make an L-shaped room feel squarer, for example, by linking opposite walls together with colour.

3) How to deal with uninteresting rooms

Highlights any features
Create visual interest by picking out details such as skirting or window frames in a contrasting colour.
Paint one wall
Alternatively, throw the proportions out of balance. Paint one wall in a different colour

4) How to add light and space to a small room

Choose Light tones
White is not the only colour to bring light and space to as a small dark room- cool light tones have a similar effect.
Paint the wall facing the window
Choose a light tone colour. A light tone colour will allow light to reflect more effectively to create a bright and airy room.
Make a flat seem larger
Small flats can appear more spacious with a single wall colour throughout. Use soft sheen finish to reflect the light and create space.

Ceiling Fan

2007-06-28T12:52:00.000+08:00

Nice or Not??? From Panasonic. 5 plastic blades with LCD Remote Control. Is plastic blades safer in case the ceiling fan goes crazy wanna chop our heads off?

Booking had been made

2007-06-28T09:29:00.000+08:00

I made a quick move by making the booking last nite. Yes...at nite. Salespersons nowadays are working freakin' hard. I paid RM500 for the booking and handed the necessary documents to Anthony. I simply put Silver/Gold as my choice of colours. Let until the loan approved then only think about it seriously. My bank account will be totally dried up this time. Real dry this time. Like a draught landed. Big Bro teased by saying that I'm just like a rich woman. Buying assets in a very short time span. It's not that I'm rich. It's just it happened that I need this 2 assets now and luckily Dad is able to provide the sponsorships. Big Bro added, I even booked a car without having any test-drive. Is that a problem? Is there anyone who didn't test drive before buying a car? I would like to test drive but I don't have the time. I am only available during weekends. So I simply 'tembak' loh. Let everything be in God's hand. HE will guide me through.

So, now I'm waiting for calls from bank, if any. Whether they need guarantor or any extra documents to prove that I am capable of paying back the debt. The truth is with my current debt in hand, I am not capable of paying the car installments. Luckily, someone promised to co-pay the installment. Nyek Nyek Nyek....But then, I still need to 'ikat perut', live on a tight budget with my meagre salary. Hope that I can get through tough times like this. Just keep my fingers crossed.

Curtains

2007-06-27T11:24:00.000+08:00

I have been spending some time surfing the Internet for beautiful curtains that suit my taste. Still the same motto, "Simple is Beauty". Is it appropriate to buy online???

For kitchen window

p/s: I'm wondering if my apple green wall still applicable. Shall I change to earth tone??? Seems that earth tone is much more easier to match. By the way, sample pics shown in this blog are just some nice stuffs that I like and find it blogable. Besides that, they help by giving me inspirations on my new home.

Dining Table

Round Dining Table like the above picture is ideal for me. Simple and yet elegant. I don't like over decorated item. I am wondering whether it's tough enough for every use. How if I pair this dining table with chairs like below?

Kitchen Cabinets

2007-06-25T13:04:00.000+08:00

Kitchen cabinets can be very expensive. We may not be able to afford 1 set right now. I guess getting standalone kitchen tables may be sufficient currently. However, I saw in IKEA catalogue this whole set of white color kitchen cabinets & interior fittings & worktops & hinges which cost slightly less than RM1500. It's a very simple set of kitchen cabinet. That is what I have always wanted! Simple yet nice! If next year IKEA still have such low price kitchen sets, I will consider getting it for my kitchen. I supposed the price includes the installation. Besides that IKEA gives 10 years warranty. I would love to have my kitchen in white color. I have soft spots for white. I am planning to place my gas hobs and hood and do my heavy cooking at the yard. Shall I have the kitchen cabinet installed at the yard as well or just get a decent kitchen tables for it? Hai~~~Should go for window shopping more often to collect ideas on this. Will I need put place another gas hobs in the kitchen for light cooking? I definitely need sinks in both the dry kitchen and the yard. The best is to have 2 sinks+2taps at the yard side and 1 sink+1tap at the dry kitchen side.

A hard decision to make

2007-06-25T10:03:00.000+08:00

I am going to move to another new workplace which is not very convenient. I need to inter-change train. One of the commuter services is not punctual. So it may cause me to late to work. I have been thinking of getting a car. Dad prefers me to buy new car as it's safer. Dad offered to pay the down payment. Yes...I definitely needs his sponsorship which at the same time makes me feel so useless. With limited budget, I guess I have either a Malaysia or Korea made car. TY doesn't agree to get an Atos cause we don't now the maintenance will cost a bomb or not. Thus we are left with 1 choice which is our nation's beloved Perodua. Perodua is undeniably a good buy for its proven fuel saving engine. Now that Perodua has launched the new Viva model, I have headache. Myvi or Viva??? TY doesn't agree to buy Viva. It's too small. But to me, it's cheaper. But..I also worry that I may regret later if I need a bigger car in future. I am still indecisive. If not that TY agreed to co-sponsor the monthly installment, I definitely cannot afford it. During this time, I blamed myself for only earning that few pennies. Again, I felt useless. Shall I go for a test drive before making the booking?????

Dining Table

2007-06-22T16:29:00.003+08:00

I grown up having dinner at a round dining table. Rectangular tables look very appealing but to me,but its not very convenient. Food may need to be spread on a rectangular table like a buffet dinner. One on this side may not be able to reach the food on the other side. It may end up having to split 1 meal into 2 dishes. If I have maid to wash the dishes, then it should be okay. But I don't have. So I guess I shall check around for medium-sized stylish round table. Will glass table be reliable?

Fridge and Washing Machine

2007-06-22T16:28:00.002+08:00

I have been eyeing on this 350Litre LG Fridge which costs around RM1450. Its a very simple 2-door fridge which I find it very suitable for us. It won't be too big or too small. Just adequate for our consumption. Many hypermarkets and electrical appliances outlets have this 0% installment scheme. I guess we would be 1 of the customer who will swipe our credit card to bring the fridge home and later on pay the installments faithfully. I guess 6 months is will be alright. Washing machine is a must. I am not very sure about the type of washing machine that we need. Is 6.5kg sufficient? Or 7kg? A fully-automated machine is what we are looking for. I haven't decide on the brand. How about LG? I guess we should set our budget for the washing machine to anything lower than RM800. Should go to outlets other than hypermarkets to check out the price. Will there be any difference?

Ceiling Fan

2007-06-22T16:28:00.001+08:00

I have been checking on the price of ceiling fans lately. I checked the KDK brand. It costs RM269 per set. It will burn a hole in my wallet if I were to install 6 sets in my house. Carol who just moved into her new house pointed out that her set of ceiling fan cost only around RM120. Not bad... If we can afford it, I plan to have all 4 bedrooms intalled with 1 unit of remote-controlled ceiling fan. And another 2 units for my living room cum dining corner. Eric said he would give a ceiling fan unit as gift for us. Hahaha!! Thank u! Hope you won't forget your promise. I guess we will opt for the silver metal type color. Modern and simple. 1 thing not sure is how to have the unit installed. Can DIY? Should ask dad about this. Might as well fly dad over together with his tools to help us!

Sofa

2007-06-22T16:27:00.001+08:00

Sofa is a very important item in the furniture list. There are leather seats, cottony slipcover seats and etc. I don't necessary need the whole 3+2+1 sets. Previously I fancied the LShape type of sofa. It seems very comfortable to me. But my core criteria for a non-leather seats is it must be a slipcover type. I want it to be washable. If possible, I would like to avoid anything leather or leather-like material. For me, it's not as comfortable as cottony cover because my feet have a weird habit of liking to brush on cloth thingy. So anything rough is a no-no for me. I was thinking of having a mix&match sofa sets as it adds more color combination to my living room. It would appear more lively. I may get a 3 seats sofa, either LShape or non-LShape. Then another 1 or 2 units of 1-seat sofa or lazy chairs. I don't have any particular sofa designs in mind right now. Might as well go get some home design magazine for ideas.

Curtain

2007-06-22T16:26:00.000+08:00

Curtain is another item that I have been paying attention to. There are either ready-made or custom-made curtains available in the market now. It has been very easy as we can actually DIY. Just buy the rod supporter, curtain rods with finials and ready-made curtain. All you need is an electric driller and a handyman. Screw the supporter nicely at the pre-marked spot. Hang your curtains onto the curtain rods and put onto the supporter. ta deng~~~ Mission completed. Curtain rod itself comes in many different color and style. Some come with dual rods which are meant for dual layer curtain. This is the type of curtain that I have always wanted for my home. I don't mind the laundry part. Just dump into the washing machine. How much effort does it need? Modern curtains nowadays are a bit different from the traditional type where we need to put on the metal thingy that looks like a fork onto the slim pockets sewed along the curtain. Then we are to hang the hook of the metal thingy unto the rails of rings on the metal curtain rod. Then you can slide your curtain smoothly. For some modern curtains, they are sewn with an extra piece of cloth which are meant to be put onto the curtain rod. You can hardly slide your curtain with this design. Some plastic curtain rod does come with plastic rings for you to hang your curtains. I haven't come up with any preferable design or theme colour. Of coz, it must match my apple green home.

Eyeing on Furnitures

2007-06-22T11:56:00.001+08:00

Ever since we have the SPA signed, I started looking around for furnitures. I checked on the styles, the price and tried to come out with a rough budget for every piece of furnitures that I may need in future. Every now and then I flipped the IKEA catalogue for ideas and also advertisements in the papers for promotions and offers available. With these simple market survey, I may more or less get myself updated with the pricing of each items. By monitoring the advertisements, I got to know each item of furnitures' lowest price being offered. Then I may buy the item only when it's at its best bargain value. Someone told me that I can get certain item at very good price at Nilai 3 ie carpets and chests. Can't wait to pest TY to bring me to Nilai 3 for window shopping. But still, I haven't decided on the theme.

Theme Colour

2007-06-22T11:42:00.000+08:00

All this while, I have no idea of what colour shall my home's walls carry. I always tell people that my right brain is damaged as I am totally clueless about art and creativity. Unlike other people who definitely know what they want for their home, I have no idea at all.

Few days ago, a light bulb suddenly alighted from somewhere. It was actually I walked past this home which had its wall painted pink, a bit solid pink. Then, my mind started to crawl to my own home. I imagine painting my own wall pink - No way...too girlish. Then I imagine painting my wall light blue - No way....too boyish and too ordinary. Then I imagine painting it apple green, very light apple green - Yes.....its neutral and natural and green is good for eyes. So I told TY about my idea and he agreed. Ai....whatever not very bad he also agree gelah. Pointless asking his opinion also. If I suggest to paint our home "ap shi cheng" (duck sh*t green), then he may have some opinion geh...

OK....right now I shall search for this light apple green colour and think of what other furniture that can match this theme. Shall I come up with a theme for my house decoration like classic, oriental, bali and etc....?

Our home, Our nest

TY and I bought a new house in Jan 2007. It is estimated to be completed by the end of this year and most probably we can get the key early 2008. Coincidently, our unit is A20-08. So easy to remember. Since both of us are very young, thus we don't have much savings. We paid the 10% down payment with the sponsorship from parents. We didn't think much about budget for renovations or furnitures. All we want is a house to be our home. Both of us have been living away from home for nearly 6 years. We think that we have had enough of renting of rooms. Renting a room will never make the house your home. Some may feel that it's not a very wise decision to get yourself in a 30-year debt at an early age. But our thinking is, houses are getting expensive day by day and saving of more down payment from our fixed salary is almost impossible. I personally feel that the prices of houses hike much more faster than my money-saving rate. We are so looking forward to moving into our new home eventhough the budget for simple renovations and basic furnitures is no where to be seen. Hahaha!!

Happy 2nd Anniversary!
