House Cleaning - Day X

Weekday, switch my house keeping time to morning, before I go to work. Normally, morning will be my work out time - jog at park or go to gym. Now, spare 45 minutes to 1 hour for house cleaning. This morning I had done the living room, quite easy, cause no furniture yet. :P Kitchen will be hectic, need to clean each shelf of the cabinet. I need to spend few days on it, I guess. Hopefully, in next post, I can put up the cozy home photos to share with you all. ;)

House Cleaning - Day 2

The day began at 8am. Cleaning the room.. still... sigh.. Although yesterday I had clean once, but still got dust. :( Contractor said help me to clean, but didn't really helping a lot. I have to redo, I found out he just simply wipe lo, not really make the stain away. Done for 3 rooms and 2 toilets. Argh... still got living room and kitchen. I really wanna quit, too tired. My shoulders, hands and thighs very painful now. When can all the chaos will finish?? The day end at 6pm.

House Cleaning - Day 1

The day began at 8am. Cleaning start from the room, once started cleaning, I found out that no matter how hard I clean, the dust still flying around. :( There was a worker still working at kitchen, sharpening the mosaic produced dust. Sigh... the schedule slipped. The works have been delayed for a week, the contractor promised to be done before today, but still can not complete. Tomorrow still have things to be done. I can not fully clean my home if their work not finish. But somehow, I have to clean some corners, get ready for furniture and electrical that had been arranged to be deliver today. So.. today, I got bed and mattress, dining table, curtain, washing machine, TV and refrigerator. Yeah yeah... don't know when I can get my sofa to be deliver yet.. Oh ya.. I got a surprise free gift, a vacuum cleaner from electrical shop. That day I was just kidding and asked the salesman if I can get it as free gift, but he did not promise anything. Haha.. glad when saw they del...

Slow It Down

I need to slow down my pace. I almost fainted today. I was busy with my house thingy, till no time for lunch. I felt sudden blackout when stand up from squatting, then only I realized I need to eat and have rest. Since morning, took some kuih , till 3pm only took my lunch. Went to few places in town with my renovation contractor, final shopping for renovation to the completion. After this, I have to slow down my pace, since I have one month before I can formally move in. I can slowly shop for others. Counting down for a month...

I Have to Talk About it

The house renovation and moving preparation really very hectic and tiring for me. I know no one can help me on this matter, I have to settle every single thing by myself. I feel the pressure of doing decision. First house, no experience at all. When facing the multiple options, don't know how to decide or worried if my decision correct or not... Always talk to myself, like this not bad ar.. if do like that also can wor.. err.. then which one to choose??? Luckily my renovation contractor is quite helpful, give me a lot of suggestions, analyze the cons and pros. Today, I went to check out my house after work, stayed there for 1 hour plus, chatting with contractor. I feel relief a bit after chat. Owning a house, is a very big matter in my life, too big for me to keep it to myself. I need to share the story or what have I been thru with someone. Thanks for you who have listen to me. and share your opinion with me. :)

One More Month

No more mood to deal with my new house thingy now, after mom ordered me to move in on mid May. Initially, I am very keen to settle all the necessary stuffs, every weekend out from home early in the morning, go here and there, seeking household things, all I wish is to settle all in time, for me to move in before May. And now, I have to pay and setup everything, but can not stay there yet. 15 May... A long wait for the day to come..

Why So Long??!!!

I hate it!!! Mom just called, said I can only move into my new house at mid May.. sob.. sob... why need to wait for so long wor... I bear the payment, but she just can not understand it. Every bill or interest is on going for the house, but leave it empty. Such a brilliant idea to ask the "ang kong" !!! May be I will just move in when everything ready, no need to let her know.....

Almost There...

2nd week of house renovation. Good progress, most of the things already in place. Wiring, painting, doors has been done. I went to workshop to check my cabinet too, in finishing state, coming week will be install in my house. So many things to do. Although I am getting the basic stuffs, but it has caused me super exhausted. Spend most of my weekend outside, whole body aching at night. :S Today think of continue shopping after lunch, but I am too tired, give up the plan. Need to have some rest... Hope the chaos will end soon!!

Shopping for Home

A very busy weekend again. Settle the things for my home. On leave again on Friday, so that I can have 3 days to do my stuff. 3 days in a row, I visited Homedec, till the sales person there greet me, "oh, you are here again today.." :P The timing is just so right for me, my house is having renovation, and here come the exhibition. Yeah.. I bought lots of things for my home, and of course, spent A LOT TOO!!! Worth the spend, feel so GREAT, able to hunt for so many stuffs: big or small, hard or soft, color or plain, long or short... Oh.. help me, how am I get thru all these decision making??!!! This routine started since last weekend, I also took leave last Friday and had 3 days to do treasure hunt for my home. :P So, this is second week. It is amazing that I still can have time to blog. heee.... Actually, I am very very exhausted, weekend but no rest at all, daytime hunting around in the island and mainland. Night time checking the info and evaluate what and which ...
