Our nest – updates on the renovation works. [Part 2]
if you are new reading this blog, you can read about how the house looked like when we first collected our keys and about my previous post on the renovations. someone asked about my kitchen counter top from the previous post, so i just do a quick mention here. the counter top is marble. i honestly didn’t compare the price for the various type of top but i do know that i wanted a counter top that could last and based on the few material samples that we saw, we chose this. the husband also feels that i should do my sink some justice and give it some mention. haha!…

Our nest – updates on the renovation works. [Part 1]
i know. i have kinda been spamming everyone bits and pieces of the house on IG (and also FB since its crossed posted) and everyone have been asking if i have moved in. so, i thought an update would be due since the last post on it was in feb. FEB! has it been that long? honestly, we weren’t the most diligent folks on this renovation thing. we only have the weekends to work on it, sourcing for the electrical appliances, deciding on the plans, working out with the ID and whatever not. It’s really one massive project and i learnt a lot out of this experience. Sure, it could…

my labour day.
i started the labour day holiday early in the morning making a table and chair out of the boxes of my water heater and sink in the new house, dicussing the details with the husb and my ID. it went a lot smoother than i thought it would and guess having spent hours the day before discussing with the husb helped. the floor has been levelled! living room master bedroom toilet half wall done! now missing the glass piece and a tiny kerb. kitchen looking really messy at the moment. the other part of the living room.. Its really quite fun seeing everything slowly coming into pieces..…

the works finally started.
the husband and me popped by to check the house out and the works have started! mega excited. it was dark and most of my pictures turned out in a funky green tint, looking like some night vision images. the toilet half wall is up too! looks like we’ll be swinging by the house pretty often now.

random tidbits about building a new home.
i am sooo tired lately, and have been getting bad dizzy spells and headaches. am dreading the coming weeks for a couple of reasons: 1. My mum would be away for a ear surgery in 7 days, which means i need to stake out alone with 2 kids for at least 4 days (non-stop) while she is at the hospital. 2. The same week that my mum is away, my brother is travelling, which means, i don’t have anyone to help me buy food either. 3. der just told me that he won’t be able to take leave/come home earlier that week because he is rushing for launch. major BOO.…
