i think no need take leave but best to go every night to scrutinize whatever is done so that anything not right, u raise it up with the contractor/designer.

living in a bigger place sucks le. i've been mopping my floor every night. so tired. just finish mopping only coz there were workers here in the afternoon to do my windown film (to block out the afternoon sun)

hehehe, me work in town and stay in town (for now that is)

so is go after work then come back town like very rush loh

somemore take leave can sleep late late then go down

thinking of getting them for my windows too

just wondering if it will shrink after some time

seems that only v-cool is able to tahan the direct afternoon sun without shrinking...

that's what patrick told me loh so thinking should get normal one or go for v-cool???

no harm asking lo. try try. really more convenient than take in take out lo. hehe..

yr memory good lei, still remember yr dentist name. i only remember my one SUPER HANDSOME before i fell asleep. haha.. wa, mine wasnt hurting badly la, its just that sometimes will swell if i'm too heaty then very uncomfortable lo. then my work oso need to plan coz so many days mc so i walk into NDC straight without referral ltr. i oso don't know why my hubby subsidy so little lei. government sector shld be the cheapest ma, hor.

the aussino quilt not very good le. very thin one, i find not fluffy enough. hehe.. but really cheap la. why u nv use! 'lang fei' lei. then where u buy yr bedsheets? i nv wash after i buy lei. wanted to but too tired with the moving house part so give up la. just sleep on it. plan to this weekend lo. hows the sofa? managed to exchange? yup, silent night. i feel that its a good buy lo. not too expensive and my hubby feels very comfortable (he very fussy abt bed and pillows one). i very chin chye one, not on the floor can liao. haha..

i using my lappie in my study rm. my sofa and bar stools all not here, then havent buy study chair, so use our old chairs for the time being. too broke oso so got to hold - spent $320 (mainly kitchen stuff) at ikea yesterday, $230 (vacuum and fan) at kong tai and $50 (dustbins) at SSC. the laundry one makes me boil. install on mon, mon night spoil, come on tues repair, tues night spoil. today they came to change the old circuit board. now ok liao. pray dun spoil again. the person say my problem is UNIQUE which means I SUAY la! its their product problem lo. but its really useful le, dun so tiring to lift my head up to hang the clothes. then it comes with the light which is very bright.

haha, not hardworking la coz after the washing machine wash and dryer to dry, super crumpled, so i iron lo, anyways want to practise using the machine le. today i use to iron my dress before i go out. very good le! the dress pleats pleat nicely.. everyone should buy! haha..

i very particular abt messiness one. cant stand mess. like things to be in their place. if not i cannot sit down surf net, relax one. i siao one la. hee..

tks! only the dryer bit la. the rest average oni le.

haha, its the hairdryer le. go get ONE! sure instant hotel feel.

hmm, will see wat the electrician says ba... but i'm bt beri optimistic abt it.

ya, can still remember him... nt beri handsome but quite gentle lor.. wear specs one.

dat b-day mth thing, i nv use coz i no budget in may! super wasted rite???? i nv buy the $19.90 quilt, tink my hubby confirm nag at me if i were to get it. usually i buy my bedsheets from aussino or dept stores whenever there is discount and also my budget allows.

last evening the factory guy came to see the sofa liao... at first they oni wanted to change the 2-seater coz of the scratched mark coz they said the 3 seater is not big problem.. they push the back cushion part here n there trying to make it look even. but my hubby tink it CMI and insisted them to change the 3-seater also.. the delivery guy juz buay song buay song change the 3-seater coz he wan to rush off to somewhere else. nw got new mei mei sofa to sit liao...

i'm still bugging my hubby for the dining table.. haven mention to my hubby abt the study room chair also. dunno when den can get it.

hopefully ur laundry system will be fine. last nite did my washing for the 1st time on my F&P washer. i beri blur leh, forgotten to put in the softener. my hubby had to teach me how to hang clothes i didn't koe he was an expert on dat (he said he used to do all the washing when MIL dun haf maid). nw he expects me to do all the washer.. got ppl wash clothes as 7.30pm one meh? i really felt like a maid last nite lor... he said finish washing den can haf dinner (wife-abuse ). btw time finish washing already going to 9pm, clean up abit 9.15pm liao..

we walked to the foodcourt at rivervale mall already nothing to eat lor, end up spending 20mins shopping at ntuc until 10pm and walk home again. still no dinner! hubby said he'll get dinner for me after he bathe and it was 10.45pm by the time he left the house. my 'dinner' (or shd i say supper) appeared oni at 11.45pm coz he said the 24hrs foodcourt at compassvale link is beri crowded. i told him i dun wan to haf dinner so late every nite.. wait put on weight and our AD coming soon. next time dinner first den can do washing.

my HB will allow the hairdryer one coz he koes i seldom use... always go out with the hair wet from washing unless i'm going for dinner or something special.

my laundry hanger ok liao.. hope dun give me problem again.. i tell u i can wash clothes at 1am ok.. at first i very scare neighbours complain coz the washing machine noisy.. but for the last few yrs no one came knocking at my door le. hehe.. coz sometimes i after work go class then come home eat dinner already 12am lo.. but nowadays i try to do during sat or sun.. esp now got dryer even better, dun need hang a lot of clothes to dry, can fold and keep.. faster.. or else last time not enough clothes to wear le.

if i got class, i oso eat dinner at 11pm.. sometimes is not enough time rush to school, sometimes is too lazy, sometimes is too sians to eat alone lo.. so i very used to supper.. it doesn't make me fat overall, ONLY MY TUMMY! i hate it.. but i used to the timing, kinda hard to change le..

tks bro!

ai ya, 'long kang' view nia, just that with the curtain cannot see clearly.. haha.. but it was love at first sight for this unit coz of the unblock view la.. and the fact nobody can see in lor! last time my unit so near with next block until i can even see if they are digging their nose! haha..

now just move in still a lot of dust so i cannot tahan.. u twice weekly already very hardworking lor.. for my old place, my part time cleaner comes in bi-weekly to clean.. if not, me and hubby can procrastinate and only mop once a month! haha.. but now new place, u know la, when things new, more excited will be more hardworking (initially i oso mop twice a week for my old place den the frequency just depreciate over the yrs until hire part time cleaner ).

hahaha, me civil servant lah

pay very little that's why leave so many loh

most of my colleagues leave for private sector coz they are tempted by the 50%-100% pay increase

but me being the lazy person, i rather have more time to do things i like than have more money

my course is a sponsored one so 1yr got 12 days exam leave

usually take 5 days exam leave during exam week loh

before that take my own leave

my colleague one is no brand type (or at least she dun remember)

she put think two years only, and not in direct sun somemore

she say all shrunk, got 2cm gap

i was like

maybe got to go for vcool afterall...

My MBR wardrobe.

Having a headache on where to put my bags though. Will reorganize over the weekend. Its finally Friday tomorrow. Yippee!

Any mess you see belongs to my darling hubby. Haha~ He has yet to sort out our cables/electrical cords/plugs/modem/charges/tool basket mess as he hasn't gotten the extension cord/multi plugs/tool box. So I'm leaving all his mess in that corner which, is supposed to be my MBR display shelves, for the time being since nothing to display anyways.

Totally out of point picture. Hey GIRLS, Zara having sale lei! Hehe.. I mean not say cheap until where la but at least got discount lor. Today first day, I went in the morning already super crowded. Try got to Q like 15 mins, pay $ even worse, 30 mins. Then afternoon went again second round, the whole place was in a big mess. But I think they replendish their stock every now and then coz afternoon I got see some stuffs not out in the morning one. But I swear I'm not stepping in again. Morning go spent $80. Then afternoon thinking should be nothing to buy le since morning go liao but coz colleagues want to buy somemore, accompany them and end up spending another $90. Best buy of the day $39.90, good for weekends le:
