Post #0227 - From pale to matte black

Dear Earthlings, 

Bought this side table some time ago, during Ik.ea sale. Was on sale less than RM100, I think. Good bargain isn't ?

Anyways, in order to match the bed in the guest room (IKEA Hemnes Collection), 

I finally have the time to change the color :

I used the easiest method, which is to spray - by using black matte spray. 

One can covers all the sides with one coat. So, if you want to do multiple coating, prepare to buy plenty of cans. 

The thing is, I was too lazy to cover the area. Hence, I sprayed directly on the wall, grass and creepers. 
3 days has passed, I think GadgetGeek still not realised about this. But I think he will freak out this weekend.

Post #0226 - Finally, we moved in! (I think)

Dear Earthlings, 

Seriously, the finishing are yet to be finished. 

Hahaha.. it was an overdue thingy because the work has been stopped quite some time already. 

Anyways, we had a small kenduri doa selamat on February 2 (Sunday), attended by immediate family, neighbors and few orang masjid. Roughly it was about 50 - 60 people. Small crowd. 

Insha Allah, if time permits (subject to i-Rajin)  we might host another housewarming for extended families and friends. Else, if i-Malas.. mintak maaf banyak-banyak lah mainly because I don't have any helper around. 

So the cleaning process took roughly about 3 days, assisted by my dad's workers, 4 hours of daily maids and my family. The last-minute fixing and wiring was done by my bro-in-law since all the Chinese Contractor has started their CNY Holiday. Quite tiring and stressful phase. 

Selected Alya Jaya Catering  as our caterer (Confirmed by Wednesday), had  nasi tomato package (RM12.50 per head) together with two waiters and additional teh tarik and teh o since our kenduri starts at 10 in the morning. A caterer (dealt with Cik Zak.iah) whom easy to work with as I requested for the additional drinks on Saturday afternoon. Truly recommended.

Post #0225 - No pain no gain

Dear Earthlings, 

Felt chest pain and feverish the moment I stepped into my house from work which I thought it was a stress from the presence of my new superior. It turned out that I have pneumonia. Muahaha.. 

Buruk sangka punya pasal. 

Anyways, 

will try to update (I doubt it) the overdue entry with limited internet. Our current house internet has been terminated because we plan to move by end of the month. Insha Allah. 

The new house is not really done yet, but all the essential things semua dah complete. So yang itsy bitsy here and there, will do slowly and pejam mata je lah.

Also planned not to subscribe to Astro anymore. Boleh hidup ke tanpa Astro? Sure boleh!
Our current Astro, subscribe to full package pon macam useless. Tapi yang dapat view cuma few channels macam movie channels and ch709. The rest mcm ikut mood nak appear or not. Like Disney Channels. Semua Disney channel ada except Channel PlayHouse Disney.

Malas nak panggil technician what not sebab nanti another charge.. bla.. bla.. Pastu kasi reason Astro kat this area memang macam tu. 
Blurghh.. whatever. 
Sick and tired of it. 

80% of the things, we have transferred to the new house. What's left to pack now is just our kitchen utensils, clothes and tv. Other heavy furniture like bed, cupboard, dining table, couch, fridge, washer & dryer we leave as is. Plan to pass to my Mom in law as her weekend/weekday house since she is working in downtown KL. 

If time (and internet) permits, I will share some tips in curtain and carpet hunting.

Post #0220 - Sorting and labelling

Dear Earthlings, 

Oh, it is so depressing when the Blue Company has decided that we have to execute the 5s thingy. Since our subsidiaries has carry out 5s long time ago,  so now it's our turn. 

Sigh.

Anyways, 

I don't think I can implement 5s in my house. Too many junks (?) All these are sentimental to me.

On a different page, 

we are now in the midst of furnishing our new home. 

Yet to move, but has started to clean one room per week. Simply because we are doing this ourselves. No maid or helper to help us out.

Like last Sunday, I cleaned the kids room and bathroom, while GadgetGeek assembling the beds. 

Speaking for furnishing, I am on closet mode. 

Currently Youngster #1 is using this closet - 

And of course, sekarang sudah padat and tak muat. 

Inspired by these pictures,

I planned to have a bigger closet since both will be sharing the same room and closet. 

So the only closet that come into my mind is PAX, by IKEA.

Reason being, you can adjust the shelves, clothes bar/rail, mix and match sesedap rasa. 

Wanted the kids to be independent. Amik baju and simpan sendiri. 

Clothes rail tu boleh adjust kasi rendah so the kids can choose and pick their own attire. 

Not only that, they also can keep their school bags, hats, accesories etc in separate shelves. At least, takde la bag semua bersepah atas lantai or bergantunggan. 

Their bedsheets, blankets, towels semua boleh simpan in one place instead of keeping it in a different room.

In future, kot tak cukup tempat lagi, this closet can be extended. Very practical isn't it?

However, my idea sudah ditembak jatuh oleh GadgetGeek. 

Out of budget and too much untuk budak umur 5 dan 3, katanya.
