Living Amidst the Dust...

Gosh, I'm so tired. Sleeping on a 5cm thick mattress is really taking a toll on me. I'm a dead beat by 11pm every night and still felt like I've not slept when I wake up at 7am. I need a bed!!!!!
Aaron has already given up sleeping on his mattress and is now sleeping on two beanbags joined together. So now, I'm sleeping on two 5cm thick mattresses stacked together, and it's not any better. Oh well, 3 more days, just 3 more days, and the bed's arriving...
On with the updates:

The carpenters came last Thursday and Friday to fix up the the carpentries. So now, we have our feature wall, kitchen cabinet, study table, and bathroom cabinet in place.
We're happy with the result. The workmanship is actually good. And the thought that everything's gonna be over soon just feel so great!!
Thursday went rather well, the study table, wardrobe, and part of the kitchen was fix up in no time at all:

Our study table in the Mochi Room. It's now messy like nobody's business. Aaron and Dave immediately set up the desktop and the laptop as soon as the table is set up.

My wardrobe. It took some time getting over the so much white on the door. I expected less white and more dark brown. But I quite like it anyway.

The light switch on the side of the wardrobe.

On Friday, the feature wall, toilet cabinet and kitchen cabinet are completed. While fixing the feature wall, they drilled two big holes into my study!!!

The holes will be plastered up by the painters who's coming this thursday. Anna asked me how could I be so calm about it when I saw the holes. Well, I don't see the point to yell at the carpenters, things can't be helped when it has already happened. As long as they fix it up...

By the end of the day:

The feature wall in the living room.

The bathroom cabinet. Looks great huh...

And the kitchen cabinet... I simply love the colour!! Solid top's expected to be fix today.. will update on that again.

Yesterday, the carpenters came again to touch up on rest of the carpentries. Ah Teck, chief of the carpenters, were kind enough to fix up Anna's wardrobe and the mirror cabinet in bathroom:

The mirror cabinet is from Ikea. The length is exact the same as the wash basin.

Anna's pole system wardrobe. She initially bought a longer pole, but it couldn't fit into the wardrobe. Now she have a shorter one and more space.

Ah Teck fixed up the mirror for Anna as well. Notice the two holes on the left side of the mirror? Courtesy from Ah Teck... two more holes to be filled up.. lol.

Just realised I've yet to show the pictures of the shower screens in the bathrooms:

And also the dining lights...

Me and Anna chose this. It reminds us of Malt candies. The electrician had a big problem fixing this up. He broke two of the 'candies' even before it was fixed up. In the end we had to call the shop to have their electrician to replace the 'candies' and to fix up the lights.

We have a bad news too.. After much calculating, much to me and Aaron's dismay, we realised we couldn't afford our 42" plasma!!!! Mistake on my part. I've not anticipated all the bills that we need to clear and all the smaller stuffs to buy... yepz, we've overspent. We'll need to wait a couple of months more to buy the plasma now.. Haiz..

Aside from that, I think everything's going great.. When you think of the BIG picture.. not having the plasma... yet... is not such a big deal after all. We have a new house.. a place to call our own.. I'm counting my blessings for that...

Updates soon.. ciao..
