BREATHING FROM A NEW NEST...


I've been busy lately and still am.. I just moved to a place I called my own home now. Walking distance from my mom's and definitely not a new house.

The house is actually in a good location, but not so good condition. Ray and me decided to remove all wooden parquet on the 1st floor and the tiles on the living room. And it was not easy to make decisions... on new tiles, the stairs, the gate( yang lama dah nak tumbang) then the floor at the porch was not level... that has to be done too..

Then I've to decide on the pebbles for the porch. lightings indoor and outdoor. Urghhhh... it was stressful back and forth to the suppliers, hardware shop... decide on the colours of the wall... I was not happy with the workmanship... rasa nak cat sendiri aje..

Suddeny Ray nak buat plaster ceiling pulak... decisions lagi... furniture? appliances?..
We had some arguments on the interior concept, at first Ray wanted all white. then he changed to glass and stainless steel.

But we managed, to compromise...and some decisions been made. We moved in last Friday. It was so hectic coz that was the day the furniture was delivered, air-cond installed, my in-laws arrived from Perak.... Fuuh...

The works on the porch and gate was not done yet. Some of the rooms has no light. But we all managed to sleep in and cook the very next day... It was tiring but it's all worth it. To have a place you call your own, having your family, in-laws sitting and eating together helping you out, setting your house.

While I was writing this post, the electrician is fixing the new ceiling fan and lights in the room, Wak Mastor is doing the pebbles on the porch... Ray is having teh tarik with his siblings...

Couldn't wait to have it all done...
