So u want to renovate your toilet?

If you think you want to renovate your toilet, please make sure you meet the following pre-requisites. Especially for those who want to renovate all the toilets in your house at the same time, please prepare yourself to meet the pre-requisites. This is essential if you do not wish to go thru physical and mental sufferings.

1. Unleash your psychic powers to know if your contractor is one who plans b4 he works.

The contractor was not very thoughtful I must say. I know I want to renovate both my toilets. but that doesnt mean you have to carry out works at the same time. What is going to happen when ppl in the family needs to go to the washroom? use public toilet across the street at the coffeeshop??? Well for me, you can still use the toilet if you chase the workers out, walk carefully so that your foot doesnt end up in a cement mold and pick an auspicious hour when they are not working on activities that absolutely does not allow your presence in the toilet. Oh and all that is assuming you are not changing the toilet bowl. If you are..... make sure there is a public toilet across the street at the coffee shop.

2. Have a strong bladder if pre-req 1 fails.

Seriously. U need a strong bladder. tried and tested.

3. Highly adaptable to different living conditions.

my house looked like a contruction site when they left. having a slab of half dried cement doesnt make it more homely.

felt even more like construction site when the renovation was going on. Super noisy and dusty! my house looked like a riot just took place. or it just survived an earthquake. my black chair turned grey and i almost couldnt recognise it. Thought it belonged to the contractors. Had to mop the floor everyday so that it is more live-able.

5. Make allowances for your budget.

Exceeded budget! turned out the original invoice did not include alot of things and the total bill almost doubled at the end. feel cheated.

6. Alot of time to spare.

They were very slow in their work. Dont know what are they up to. Work for less than an hr will go out and take a puff. back to do abit of work and out for a puff again. good thing we are not paying them on daily basis. too bad for their boss if that is what their pay is based on.

Final pdt not quite ready. shall post pictures when they are. oh but i have hotel like taps now! haha.

corgis singing happy birthday

corgis are too adorable to not like them. only thing that makes me smile now. the last dog didnt sing his one and only note! SO CUTE!

no good day.

Today is a bad day. sigh..... results sux. really bad. no more 3.9... dropped a fair bit. NUS trying to remind me things dun come easy. Problem is i dun understand y i did so badly. Not like I cant do the paper.. sigh sigh sigh.. bad bad bad. so easy to drop.. so tough to go up by 0.1. wth. Had an internship interview actually. But mood is bad and confidence level is low. cant even convince myself i can do some kind of work properly.. what more convince the interviewer.

2007 is not a good yr. I can only remember bad things now. maybe because i'm not in a good mood thats y everything i recall is bad. Always believed everything happens for a reason... where will the events of 2007 bring me to?

Has been a very bad academic year. Really. confidence level hit new few times this yr. Seriously got no exam luck.. Shall still graduate with a 2nd upper. will work towards it.

academic, family,love,sports. Nothing goes well huh... damn 2007.

Hope 2008 will be a better yr.

Merry Christmas!

Its Christmas! love christmas! but dun quite feel the ambience this year... something is missing.

went training on the morning of christmas eve.. had to drag myself out of bed after receiving a sacred mission by valarie to pass some secret msg to the coach! haha... but coach didnt believe a word i said. so too bad.. so much for the sacred mission.

went mel's place for the much anticipated home econs lesson. haha.. made ondeh ondeh! but wasnt a very successful attempt cause we didnt really get the authentic ingredients. nonetheless, it was so fun! SEC lives up to the name once again.

We didnt have green colouring. so we made do with the red and blue we had. Being creative ppl.. that's what we ended up with! before i left, we had purple ones too.. but the most creative award got to go to zhenrong... for his badtz maru ondeh ondeh!

too bad there was too much steam and didnt manage to take a better shot of it. can only see part of his creative work.

Had to hurry home for my sumptuous christmas eve dinner. tadah!

enjoy christmas everyone... there are 12 days of christmas! haha...

the day i lost to a 13 year old kid.

Sigh... had a friendly match with some primary sch kid and lost! haiyooooo... my pingpong is hopeless. How to play ivp... Anyway the little kid is from china and it didnt take her too much effort to win me 3-0. haha... kind of saddening, feel so lousy! Pri sch! they are still studying abt Ahmad, Ali, Mary, Jane, Sue, John who are forever exchanging marbles or apples. booo...

And... i need to improve on my doubles. My inability to control the ball properly has caused alot of defeats. Feel sorry for my double's partner... hmmm hmmm. 1 week to ivp, can salvage the situation or not?

Dunno when gonna have another friendly with some other sec sch. gonna lose to 小朋友 again! i heard some kids there train under the pingpong association. woooo... but since they are not in primary sch, maybe i'll feel slightly better. haha. jiayou jiayou!

Eventful day!

Did alot of things yesterday... enough to keep a pretty bored person not so bored for 3 days. actually there are only 3 events. but if u spread out 3 events over 3 days then a pretty bored person wont be so bored for 3 days right?

1. Went to cut hair
finally went to cut my very long fringe. so xinku. always have to clip them up and i dun seem to have the ability to clip it up and make it look good at the same time. sooo.. since my mum was saying she need to cut her fringe too.. i psychoed her to go chapter 2 with me!

when we're at the mrt station, i thought i saw sign saying the train is coming in 1 min. but i waited and waited for 1 min+1min+1min..... no train came. finally some announcement came to say it will be delayed for 10 mins. mum n dad speculated that maybe somebody jumped track at the previous station! so exciting huh. i speculated that maybe got suspicious article in the train! but nobody can be bothered with my speculation.. they are more convinced somebody jumped track. :( but no news abt that though...

anyway went on to cut my hair at chapter 2 and say maggie!! we got so excited.. kept asking each other y are we there. actually quite apparent right.. meet at a hair salon what else can we do there. got so carried away talking i forgot to flash my matric card so no discount for me.

2. Went to queensway to buy my shoes!

my sport shoes are disintegrating. falling apart. under the supervision of my dad... cannot buy nike, cannot buy the weird weird you-sure-these-are-sport-shoes kind of shoes i always tend to buy. Got the normal running shoes.. havent got these normal ones for a long long time.

this pair of shoes just give me the i can run very fast feeling. hahaha.. havent ran for a long time. maybe i'll wait for result day. When u are not too happy, ur brain doesnt function very well. best time to do not very rational things like... go jogging. ok if nus decides to be very kind and give me a surprise belated 21st birthday pressie on the 26/12, maybe i'll be overly happy and brain doesnt function well agian...

3. saw christmas lightings at Orchard!

Mum was very sweet! i was saying "aiyah keep raining how to see my christmas lightings at orchard!" so she suggested we take a long long bus home, which will pass by orchard and i can see my lightings while i'm on the bus! sweet sweet. :)

bus moved when i was taking the 2nd picture. the raindrops on the window made things look more spot-ty than it shd. anyway still looks pretty. shall be there another day, minus the bus.

after rotting at home for so many days.. i consider this a very eventful day already!

Next event... cooking lessons by Miss Chua Yi Rong?

Always look on the bright side of life - Monty Python

for those who dont feel too good and want to chase the moody spirals away...

holiday most frequently asked question.

Most frequently asked question durings hols: What do you do at home?

A: Valid question. The rotting organism at home is also thinking what she should do at home. Oh while thinking of that question, this human with the usual high functional efficiency, is transforming oxygen into carbon dioxide so that the plants can make more food. Hmmm can see that the plants downstairs are growing well.

<<< pretty ar? i want to be couch potato on a pretty couch. dun mind being pretty couch potato on a not so pretty couch either. i'm very flexible. :)
