updates..

it has been some time since my last post.. initially when i set up this blog, i hope my close ones reads.. but now, i blog about it so that at least i have a diary?? i used to write one.. but that was years ago.. now am too lazy to do it..

have been busy with the reno plans.. finalising the quotes and design.. am glad that with the little budget we have, we were able to have most of the items we want.. my big masterbedroom, big wardrobe with sliding doors, dear dear bar top, my kitchen with a built in oven (thanks to my aunt & grandma) where i can make the finest and yummiest food! that is the most important part of my reno.. thanks to my aunt who became our designer for our cosy home.. giving us advice on the color theme and the things to avoid and buy..

went to ifc today.. dear dear commented that he did not like to go window shopping for furniture and come back empty handed.. so, we got ourselves a tv console and my fave. coffee table..

renotalk.com has been the regular website that i frequent now.. everytime i get my hands on the pc, all i go to is that website to check out the pictures of fellow people renovating their homes, sharing their views on renovation.. giving advice on the things to buy and not to buy etc etc.. i have signed up as a member but i am unable to start my own renoblog or even post comments.. it has been so happening.. those who stay nearby visit each other.. fellow renotalk bloggers.. i also want to be part of it.. sadly, do not know how and why i am unable to do that..

so, after having seen so many reno work and furnishings posted by fellow bloggers, i have thus decided what kind of style and what type of furniture i like.. but also it comes with a compromise between dear dear and my likings.. but so far been so good.. :) im glad that both of us do not like too many mirrors in the house, because we are not used to seeing ourselves everywhere?? haha.. though is the "in" thing..

have also decided on the color scheme.. await my blog for more photos of our lovely house.. i cant wait for the renovations to complete.. my lovely house..

the other day my colleague asked me what type of hdb i bought and what floor.. i said executive but due to budget constraint, i got level 7 because the higher the level, it increases by $2k.. he laughed! he said next time, say 7 is your favourite no. not budget constraint.. haha.. i never forget that

sharing with you our great buys today: making us happy people.. wanted to buy toilet accessories today.. thank God i called the contractor and he said that he has to give us the measurements to buy because is not exchangable.. and through the phonecall, i realised i do not need to buy dish rack..

i just love the glassy feel.. will buy a carpet or a rug to put it underneath..
though have to maintain the carpet/ rug but this is the only "housework" that i do not mind because i just love it.. do i need other reasons? hee..

i just love it! sleek and simple!

then we head off to dome for chilling session to reward ourselves for the great buys, to relax over the weekend..

ciao!

if i wander off too far.. what would take me home?

BLUES
been feeling rather blue lately.. thanks for noticing it.. for checking on my blog.. been wanting to blog.. but do not know where to start and how to start.. i lost touch with my blog!

MY THOUGHTS:
been immersing myself with reno forums looking at how people done up their houses.. wedding stuff has came to a pause.. finalising the design for the house is more important.. but im simply so stressed.. initially i thought was with work.. with the workload + D&D commitee to handle.. time for me to complete my tasks become lesser.. even my period was late..

MY RANTLINGS:
actually i have no complains for being part of the commitee for i think it is really fun & my sort of 1st time experiencing it.. previous companies do not have D&D except for jj but back then it clashes with my last lecture date so i had to give it a miss.. but the day for D&D is the day for my guo da li.. with the house renovations to cope, guo da li, wedding and work.. and now my convocation coming in october.. i seriously wonder how im going to cope.. i definitely need His Strengths to go on..

MY CONVOCATION:
now im only looking forward to my convocation.. something that im proud of.. finally! after struggling for 2.5years in unisim.. juggling between working and studying part-time is not the most stressful throughout my uni days.. it was also the financial concerns, coping with all the assignments and then exams.. it just keeps coming.. finally i can get to truly wear the square hat.. hee.. now my next inline would be enrolling into a baking school to get myself exposed to all the different types of baking and making sweets and finally cooking.. it is a different form of art which i always believe will make me happy.. especially if the end product is successful.. hee..

MY WEDDING:
i was pretty upset when someone close told me to engage a wedding planner to do my wedding so that i will not get so stressed up.. i had since gotten over it.. actually most of my stuff is done, just have to get the actual day schedule and things confirmed and the big headache which everyone mentioned, the dinner seating arrangement and the attendance.. so been procastinating it.. as it was still early to get everyone's confirmation now.. already some are saying they are going on holiday etc.. so have to wait till october till november to send out the cards..

MY NEW HOUSE:
Dear and I were pretty upset.. with the little things we are doing yet still a substantial amount.. still waiting for good quotes from contractors.. thanks to my aunt who spent most of her time, thinking and designing our house for us according to our preference, arranging for us to meet contractors to get the best quotations..

Thanks to my parents for being so supportive, to my mum for blessing us with a 32" LCD TV for our room.. Co-sponsor our system 3 aircon... & my aunt and grandma who bought me a built in oven.. so touched to see everyone so supportive and gave me more strength.. i will make good use of the oven after marriage.. and source for good recipes to bake and roast stuff.. hee.. await my new year count down invitation party at my new place!

Dear, i hope we can assume our roles and responsibilities in the new house and wedding plans.. & that we can have a smooth sailing house reno and prepare for the wedding together..
