Renovation : Tear it down!

Bad owner I am .. i didnt go up my love nest to witness all the transformations that are in-progress right now. However, I still insist to Hus that whenever he went up for a quick check. He has to update me with something, literally something.

Pictures helped me to explain the progress to you people.

This is the entrance of our living hall.

This is the area whereby Tv console will be place and downlight above.
Previous owner got the wall painted Pink.. can see?

This is the kitchen area. I will have my L-shaped cabinet right here. Supposely, ID's contractor were to plaster this wall and just merely paint. They accidentally hack walltiles as well. I am on the advantage side Hee, bec hacking need another hacking fee, so now its F.O.C ~

MBR Toilet. Suppose to be chio chio cos I chosen Q a "artistic" tiles to create that special feel. But it doesnt look like the one I took ( see below pic) , which "wow" me lor. Different way of creating the effects... its not bring out lor.. and i paid for extra just to have the tiles I want.

Kinda let down.

Do you think I should voice out? Its already finishing... kinda hard to say anything and besides, I CANT go up to see the real stuff. How?

Renovation : Selection of Basin for MBR

We finally gotten dining light for our dinning area. To our own surprise, we didnt choose something that we "wow" upon like those previously I posted on lightnings.

Went back to Ideal House for selection of laminate floorings and briefly re-confirm the structure of our warobe cabinet and paint colours last sat. And again, we waiting for another 30-40mins for that " alwz-never-on-time" interior designer. Would say I give up on her and expected she wil delay our appt. Whatever. As long as she get my house done nicely, I dont give a damn of her service. Went next door to spare her time with her clients and moment we walked in, looked at whats available at the light house. Set,buy and do. Wala...Done deal.

Nothing fantastic but settle for a relatively good price of $250 for dinning light. Lazy liao, dont wan to think so much. Now we have a concern on MBR's basin. Previously, hus wants something in a bowl form and BLACK. Cos he commented tat solid-surface will be white hence nid a contrast. Opted for Blackie basin, but i kinda like the resort style that is pui pui round round de.

This is the last 1 pc of accessory to fret for for toilet. Can anyone send me your comments?

Oval option, its longer and deeper in depth, but seems not classy .. I dont know..

This is more of my likings cos its more resort style, but hus concern will be it is less in depth and might splash water when freshening up.

Pre-natal blue

Boohoo!

I think I am suffering from pre-natal blue.
I had a dream last time that little one popped out earlier than expected. I was thrilled to see him cute and chubby, but to my surprise I didnt even had a single milk bottle for him !
Ended up breast-feeding and it turned out a mess. -_-"

Gosh, think i am feeling guilty abt not preparing his arrival like buying him new clothes and toys yet. Which I seen forums and bloggers that were now expecting bought tons of stuff for the little one.

On the bright note, I have $300 Robinson voucher on hand to start with.

May frens out there.. this year's sherlynn's birthday dont hv to buy anything for me k. Too old to have birthday pressie.. Buy for my little one, be it gu-ni-hoon or diapers, practical can liaoz. Thanks ah..... its rude to ask for presents but then again.. its practical lah..

Renovation : Selection of light for S&J's love-nest

For recently weeks, have being running around to look for bathroom accessories and lightings for the love nest. Boy, it is not easy. I am totally constraint by the amount we have on-hand.

Just one dinning table lightings, we are spoilt with choices. We went places like IMM, Balestier, Jalan besar, ulu bedok north, kitchener road , marsillings.. we see like all kinds of shape and sizes.Square, circular ones, rectangular, big and small ones, whats attractive will be those with crystals, but looking at the zero zeros on the price tags.. haha my pocket going zero as well. They itself has its own beauty.

Hus and I have just 8 down-lights, 1 small downlight at the vanity top, 2spot lights, 1 normal ones for two common guestroom, 2 at toilets,kitchens and two major investment at MBR and dinning areas.But we just cant make up our mind which to go to.

Here are the ones we recently KIV.

This cost about $ 470 after discount. It looks not bad but kinda too simple apart alotsa crystals lah, it blinks blinks.

This is my favourite dinning light to KIV ,hus and I saw this from various places, seems that this is commonly carried by these lighting shops. Price various from shop to shop. It was seen at Kleen for $589, after discount $520.

Then went to another one that quoted $ 480 then $ 430 and lastly after negotiation it is as low as $350.

Hus's favourite. Has three switches that changes the colours of lights, from LED then to warm light and white and/or 3 at one go. Quite chioz but ex. $ 780 going at $580 last price.

I dont know how much is this. Cos it look ugly,hee. just took a pic of it.

Tada! this is my MBR main light. Looking at the picture you simply cant see the glitters on the fabric, but i guaranette it look extremely chioest when u come to my hse and take a look.

1st quote was $300 then goes to $280 and down to $250. so-called frenship price. Like real.

This is a real beauty, and as far as i know it should be the latest design coz previously all light emphasize on crystals- sawaraski or belgium kind of crystals but right now it is this one (WITH Mercury hang hangs ) that are in trend. This alone cost 800-900 if ID were to bring their clients, but as far as concern, owner can sell us a frenship price from 589 to 550 and last quote was 500nett.

Saw this at Palace of lights 302 balestier Road. I bought my down-lights there at $16. Bestie ah ly recommended. I think it is dirt-cheap as compared to the rest we went. Damage there is about $1k. Haven have our last buy of Dinning light. KIV when i strike 4D in the coming weeks. =

Same one but in rectangle shape. More ideal for dinning area, but it is $100 more than the prev one. Super broke if to go for this.

Mummy dote mummy

Sometimes u just cant deny that MTB has its own priviledge. Ofc folks tend to pay a little more attention to me when I am ard. Well, this particularly more on a-mother-already coll and Me (Mother-to-be).

A small share of agar-agar and cup of soya bean to " nourish".
This is one kind gesture I gotten now and then from ppl ard. Thanks man...

Pregnancy week : 23 Slow life movement

I cant explain it at many times if is little boyie moving or kicking me..but definitely I am feeling his movements ard that little space of his.

Hearsay that classical music is good for yet born babies. Asking Hus to find some musicy to test out and surprisingly, litte boyie seems to response!

I will alwz tap my growing tummy and whisper things like " Hey bb~.. wat are you doing? Kick kick mummy.."

He will responses like sec later.. haa...

There was once I asked hus to talk to boyie but he placed his face over my tummie to listen. He gotten a kick/nudge from the little one, Hus was startled.Both of us laughed out loud for that funnie moment and felt it is indeed amazing that human grow human.

Even writing this entry, this little one is moving about inside me..
He is definitely my joy boy and all I wish is that he is growing strong and well...

I am not taking great care of myself as I dont take tonics or nourish stuffs. I was brought up in such a manner mah.. not educated in some sense. Nevertheless, I will take less coldy drinks,no raw food, less caffine ( Kopi-holic me leh) and eat as heathly as possible..
