Day 1

This evening...

Found store room / mbr / mbr toilet lights NOT OFF!

Found cigarette butt on bedroom floor!

Two bags of biscuits offered to them during lunch - ALL GONE! Thats A LOT A LOT A LOT OF BISCUITS IN HALF A DAY! They must have took it HOME.

Bangaladeshies....argh

Called Henry and feedback that they can use our wall fan but not waste electricity + no smoking in the house

Henry's reply - Dont need to pity them or be nice; Seal up all the wall fan; I will punish them.

Wor...in the end we wrapped the fan plugs with masking and marked them.

Morale of the story: Check your renovating unit REGULARLY!!!

That's my living/dining hall partition. It is a backing for the sofa and prevents pple from sitting under the beam.

Stripes will be painted white - same colour as main wall to help blend it into the whole environment.

HTB and I wants min holes drilled...so there's no wall mounting of tv...so no intention of tv wall feature YET.

Will concentrate basic needs...afterall we are eating dinner @ my future-in-laws' place every weekday and sundays.

Day 2

We have ordered tiles from both Hup Kiong and Hafary.

Hafary has delivered our expensive tile c for the MBR toilet floor.

BUT they delivered the wrong tone because the salesgirl wrote down the wrong code!!! OMG!!!

Luckily there's a stage (tomorrow) whereby we will check all the tiles with Henry and discussing tiling.

*Exhausted* Wedding Photoshoot is next week =.= Need to look pretty ah!!!
