Renovation

After the flood,parents have been considering about renovating the house.It was also time for the house to be a little bigger as everyone is growing up now.So,for months we have been planning,designing and thinking of ways to maximise the space.

Around April,the renovation finally started.It is really a MAJOR renovation neither is it a minor one.Mummy really became a super mom.She moved and arranged everything to fit into the space that will be available during the renovation.Cupboards,tables,drawers,beds...In a family of 5,you know how MUCH things we have.So ya,she did all those by herself cos my papa was busy at work while we (my siblings and I) were in KL studying.

Finally,when the semester ended,sis and me came back to help my mum a little.We didn't move that many things cos most of it was done,only the choosing of materials(tiles,doors,paints),those kind of things left.Though it seems easy and simple,but it still took us a lot of time,especially when sis and me were having exams.But somehow,we managed it.

A little about the renovation now.At first,we had the whole house to us,the work only started outside.But still,the rooms could not be used and the toilet.Slowly,the rooms were sealed and then upstairs and now we are left with a living room,master bedroom and also a bathroom.

Living in this 'apartment' (won't call it a house now cos of the space) is pretty interesting.Though there are some inconveniences such as using the bathroom and also privacy,but we still managed it quite well,maybe even got used to it.There is a joke now that maybe we might just continue to seal the house this way and rent out the back of our house.

Some photos to show we are living...

Everyone would never imagine,us being able to cook without a kitchen.But guess what,my super mummy doesn't believe that renovation can stop her from cooking.

How are we sleeping?There is only a bedroom and a living room.So,mummy has arranged for my siblings and me to sleep in the living room,right in front of the television.The first few nights were difficult..mosquitoes biting,dogs barking,the small space..

Hmm..what else.Our things are all stored under big plastic sheets,to avoid dust collecting.Still there are when we opened it the other day,but slightly better than not doing so i think.It will be a massive cleaning and arrangement of things.

That's all i can think about right now.Will blog more about it maybe,when everything is complete.

Where?

Oh where,

Oh where,

Can my IC and driving license be?

I have search for you,

All over the place.

Day and night,

High and low,

But not a glimpse of you,

Can be seen.

SIEN!

2

Almost the same situation,

Happened twice.

How is that possible?

Didn't i learn my lesson after the first time?

Why torture me twice?

Why test me twice?

Now wondering if there will be a third...

Feelings

What you say and what you do is NOT the same.

Happy YET unhappy.

One less thing to think about.

If it's not meant to be yours,it will NEVER be yours.

When it's beyond your control,then just let it be.

Ahh...Just stop all these nonsense and get back to my books.All the other things will not ensure that i pass my exams,secure myself a job and start earning $$$.

My darling doggies,please don't let me have a heart attack when i open my eyes in the morning.

Committed

The person whom you choose to marry

is perhaps the single most vivid representation of your personality.

Your spouse becomes the most gleaming possible mirror

through which your emotional individualism is reflected back to the world.

....that choice tells us,to a large extent,who you are.

~ Elizabeth Gilbert~

Glad

Back together.

Happy that everything is solved.

And hopes that it will last.

Answer

I wish i can see the future,

then i won't be so uncertain now.

I wish i know the answer,

then i won't waste your time.

HEADACHE!

A break

A break is what i need.

I think.

I feel.

But i am not sure.

This word

What is..

'LOVE' ?

I thought i know what this word means..but only to realise that i actually don't.

It always seem so easy to tell whether other people are in love or not but why when it comes to ourselves,it is not as easy?

Is it possible for friends to become lovers?Is it possible for love to start growing from nil?

Why is it that there are people who can ignore the inner beauty and just judge from the outer?Is that ALL that matters?No wonder there are girls who go for plastic surgery.

Just hope that i can clear this mess in my head and heart and get it sorted out.Don't want it to bother me for my exam which is coming SOON.I am NOT going to allow myself to fail again.NOT NOT NOT...

Masak-masak

I don't know if you girls played this game before but as a kid,i surely did.Sometimes it would be with my sister only and sometimes it would involve my brother and cousins (boys) as well.The boys usually are there to ruin the things that we have collected.At home,in the garden,we would gather grass,flowers and little berry like fruits.If we were at my grandparent's house,then it would be more fun cos there are actual fruits and more types of flowers.These will be our 'ingredients'.Using little colourful,plastic cooking utensils,we would chop up those things,'grate' them to produce juice (i remember plucking little guavas,grating them and got green paste),squeezing flowers in the water to get the colours out and 'cook' them in our pot or pan into imaginary food.

But now,as i grow,my little utensils have grown too.No longer are they plastic and colourful.No longer are those ingredients plucked from the garden.No longer are they imaginary food.

Study life have brought my sister and me to KL,to see the world and learn to be more independent.And one of the things that we had to do is cook.Our used-to-be a game now is a reality.It started off with a small rice cooker and a water boiler.With that,we cooked rice and instant noodles (that's for sure) and noodle soup,(fried and boiled) egg sandwiches,baked beans,steamed veg

etables,french toast...

But we were not satisfied as there are many things that can't be done with the rice cooker and also it takes a long time to cook a meal.So,we extended our little kitchen corner by getting a pot and also a portable stove.With these two,we are now able to practically cook anything we want.The meal that tasted the best out of our kitchen was the nasi lemak.I invited a friend over for dinner and my sister and him took second helping though there wasn't enough sambal and fried chicken left.He even asked us to cook it again.That's a real compliment especially for my sister and me who don't really cook when we are at home.

These are a few photos of my little kitchen,the process of cooking and also the end results.

Hoping to try out more new recipes and impress my parents when we are back at home =) (But have to remember to spend some time to study too cos cooking won't help me pass my exams and coming to KL is to study,not learn how to cook)
