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..

Pregnancy week 20 : Baby's development

By 20 weeks, the top of the uterus is at the belly button. The baby weighs about 300 grams (10.6 ounces) and about 16 cm (6.5 inches) long, and is covered in a fine hair called lanugo. Fingerprints are developing as well as permanent teeth buds behind the baby teeth that are already formed. Gender is usually visible through ultrasound by now. The baby can suck a thumb, yawn, stretch, and make faces. You may be able to feel your baby move, which is called "quickening." Loud noises may even cause your baby to startle.

So cute...



During my last checkup, my bb weighs about 302grams. which is pretty align with normal progressment though i have not put more much weigh, yet. Besties are saying my tummy grows bigger and which is rightfully this way and I am contented with my current progressment.



God bless that I was quite an active person before expecting, guess that ease me from feeling tired and legathic. I would encourage frens whom want to conceive to build up the body, by eating nutrious food and regular exercise to strength the body. And I hope I will receive pieces of news that any of my fren is expecting..so that my baby boy has company ! Waiting for u all ya... =)

Announcement to make

Its time for me to make an important announcement.


Perhaps there are some nosey people around but I alwz feel there are people especially my loved ones whom has the truest and sincere concern of me.


Indeed my wedding is kind of short notice. But I am absolutely glad it happens. Man of my life was all along there, but I am just too stubborn to admit the fact that everyone is imprefect. I wish to do all sorts of things before I turn old and wanna grasps what is so-called my time to compensate those years which i wasted with my previous bf. I dint notice his cares and dint realise his presence.


What to say. He is nice and patient on me. I would not ask for more but basically be the woman of his too and be a less-hot-tempered wife. =)

Gladly things had finally true out well for me and it looks like dark clouds finally moved away.
Right now,NEW phase of sherlynn's life.


Back to my main point of this blog entry.


Sherlynn right now cannot go on to attempt dangerous or agressive sports. She missed her iving trip this year however in return... I have a new JOY in my life.

Yes. I AM PREGNANT.

I am going to be a mother real soon at good age of 27. My family and my hus's are superly happy but both besties are ones that are excited all over for me. Ever since Day 1 , I am receiving alot of attentions from everyone and even bestie's hus hada total change of attitude towards me. ( He alwz suan me one mah, now is a 360 degree change and he cares to bring me a chair while i dont need one lor).

One Small discovery to add on......

Random

Sorry for the lacking of posts.. seriously I was very busy with my wedding preparations..finally.. everything had being smooth. And here goes my next phase of journey - Marriage life

People have be asking me :" How u feel about marriage life

I was stucked with this question. How I feel? I,personally thought it should be the same as what we were in the past perhaps equally same, also, what I imagined how two life has become one shouldnt be very much difference from how I spend my time with my partner previously when we are as couples.

So my final answer to everyone is " Same leh"

Perhaps what surprises me will be..and also thinking to myself with whoever askes me this qns would be " Dont tell me u dont know your partner well meh? after marriage will be drastically difference meh?"

Well.. thats individual i guess. Cos some couples dont stay overnites at partner's hse, so the tendency of knowing " your partner's habit" becomes a NEW change.

As mentioned as title, this is a random post. I am going to show how i feast last weekend

The always kaobei si bei nice " bah ku teh" and " 排骨rice" and " 咖喱鱼头"

one word

IT'S YUMMY CAN!

Here is my 1st recommended goody goody nice food if u are a curry, can-take-spicy-stuff person.

Amazingly, I am now a person that can eat chilli padi with my food. Previously, i just drip the soyabean with chilli thats all. I think I can fight with my silver years bestie 40 now. =D

**咖喱鱼头**

I am not a fish lover sad to say, but I indeed like the gravy alot and it has alot alot alot of "Dao ji" given to u and u can add it into the gravy and soften it.... My guy is a "dai ji" lover though. So he highly recommend this if u are a lover of beancurd skin

2nd recommendation

** Bah Ku Teh**

Left pic - Soupy kind . This KL Bah ku teh isnt like Singapore's peppery soup based, it is gravy-based and with alot alot of dao ki again =D. And they usually have it with lean meat... I think wist meat which is very tender than singapore will be pork ribs that are of little meat. On the Right pic - this is dried kind. i personally like this! most cos it is cooked with dired chilli,dried cuttlefish,lady's finger and lean pork meat with dark sweet sauce. *Slurp!*

3rd recommended

** 排骨rice**

I like this the most most most most most lah! Missed it missed it missed... Thinking to franchise to Singapore some more.. hahahaha..

Pictures taken outside the shop..it was previously a side hawker and has prosperous to a big shop. =)

The boss in fact is indeed the one on this menu and in the shop walking around man.. the guys patronize this shop ever since they are in secondary days.. The boss knows them well wor..

1. 排骨 - You cannot imagine HOW INCREDIBLY nice is this freaking plate of pork ribs lor. It is tender and freaking juicy and the sauce it is something i wil die for man...MUST TRY LAH Girls...I promised to bring u to eat this when its August. My favourite leh...
2. Roasted Chicken - I guess this can be found in Singapore but it has this own local tasted kind of feel. I swear it is slightly ~ diff from our side.. I like roasted than hainanese one though..
3. Meat-balls - Keke I seldom find this in the hawker but perhaps my auntie cooks it everynow and then..its meaty meaty big big balls.
4. Curry Chicken - Gravy is tough and chicky is tender. The guys like it man ~ Slurp
5. Mr Bruce Lee - We giao him up to have breakfast with us ( side note - all these are taken in the morning cos this is their style - dont ask me why, they just take heavy meals in the morning which is their culture loh)
6. Mr Levy Tan aka Mr ONZ man - He is alwz there for us whenever we summon him. Last to call first to arrive. Whereas Bruce is the opposite. Hee.

To be continue Part 2....

Final gown fitting

Yday went for my final gown fitting to select one lasr round for my wedding gown.

Damn.. many times went to Julia and keep forgetting of taking some pictures back..* boo*

Suppose to pick one of the gown to try on as I missed it out as it was sent for dry-cleaning and was wore by some Taiwan celebrity " Wang Ren Fu's wife Ji Qin"..

Here is the pic of that EG I mentioned:

Oh boy .. it was taken up on my actual day.. And I didnt get to wear it neither last night.

Waste of a trip down to try it on on others again...

Angels & Demons

I am gonna watch this , on Friday , Anyone?

The team behind the global phenomenon The Da Vinci Code returns for the highly anticipated Angels & Demons, based upon the bestselling novel by Dan Brown. Tom Hanks reprises his role as Harvard religious expert Robert Langdon, who once again finds that forces with ancient roots are willing to stop at nothing, even murder, to advance their goals. Ron Howard again directs the film, which is produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and John Calley. The screenplay is by Akiva Goldsman and David Koepp. When Langdon discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati - the most powerful underground organization in history - he also faces a deadly threat to the existence of the secret organization’s most despised enemy: the Catholic Church. When Langdon learns that the clock is ticking on an unstoppable Illuminati time bomb, he jets to Rome, where he joins forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and enigmatic Italian scientist. Embarking on a nonstop, action-packed hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra will follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that mark the Vatican’s only hope for survival.

Time more plz

So many things to do, so little time left.

There were many hiccups during these period.Quite disappointing. However, to look deeper into the whole picture it isnt that bad, to be honest it was quite a smooth-sailing path when come to selection of venue,bridalshop,getting enough JM and of yday's food tasting.

Some good some bad. However, I am easily contented with nothing exaggerating , boils down to simple and basics. Leave me no headaches.

Everything like a breezes.

In another 23days is my big day. And all efforts will be rewarded with a Happy Wedding Day.
*Yeah*

Say Cheese~

Candid shots with frens I can.. doing all sorts of funnie facial expressions , i can go all out for it...

Boy.. right now just to stay focus and treat it seriously for phototaking & it needs to capture moments beautifully...there are many times I failed and smiled til my cheek trembles...

1st time so tough to post a natural phototaking shots in front of professional..

This evening I am taking a peeks and see the end results.

I am praying hard for a series of good shots... (which 40 and ly ensures me it wil definitely turn out well)

Will it be?

BFF

Recently I am pretty tied up. Apart from work, all my time just goes "whoosh" just like that.

Many things to prepare, many things to liaise and co-ordinate... I guess I cant do much if it is just me alone without my besties around.

Especially shilin and lyana.


Its a bless to have them around. They touched my heart with their gesture in helping me, provide me advise, links,contacts and their presences.

How would I survive this well without them leh?
