random quirks

July 29th, 2009 konstrain No comments

there’s some quirks on the site.

the wall-o-chat area needs some tweaking. before, one would need to click on “write something” to be able to post. now it’s jus straightforward there for you to fill it up.

next when you post a comment, you are redirected to a white page listed with recent comments. the correct flow should be: 1) type comment ; 2) post comment ; 3) submit comment ; 4) wall-o-chat refreshes automatically. somehow, either ajax or js doesn’t seem to work properly after updating some files for wordpress. so, oks bear with it for now until someone fixes it. =\  or i could jus use another shoutbox script and start afresh.

of wcs and bathrooms

hdb’s contractor should already be at my home now, hacking and slashing every bit of the floor tiles in my common toilet.

another contractor should also be at my master bedroom toilet, installing water heater and changing a new toilet bowl too..

apart from all these reno talks, i’m basically jus too tired to do anything else. i wanna catch a movie, but it’s long overdue and we don’t have the time for it. as time has always been a luxury, it seems even more far-fetched now.

oh yea, is anyone playing the new remake of secrets of monkey island?

kitchen cabinet done!

July 23rd, 2009 konstrain No comments

kitchen cabinet is done today! except the marble top which we have yet to choose from the samples. the whole feeling is really nice and kinda blends in well with the current white tiles which i thought it was ugly.

camera ran out of batteries and i can’t seem to find my charger anywhere.. so i guess i’ll leave it to the end and compile a whole gallery. shall post all the pics taken from day 1 whenever it’s ready. lol.

next week will be doing more finishing touch to the cabinet and installing the 2 wardrobes for my master bedroom! seems like this weekend will be a good time to paint the new cornice and clearing out the space in my master room for the installation.

oh! tomorrow the hdb people will be coming over and let us choose floor tiles for the common bath/toilet. why? thanks to my neighbour downstairs complaining of water leakage that hdb need to come over to my unit and install some water sealer and thus gotta hack the current tiles and change my toilet bowl too. and all for a fraction of a cost! i mean like a quarter! lucky~ but the downside is, we won’t be able to use the toilet for 3 DAYS! omg.

inching closer

July 20th, 2009 konstrain No comments

haven’t got the time to sit down and update on the house reno progress.

we were glad to have greg and gin coming over to help us painting on saturday. with more hands on the job, it was less painful especially with painting, touching up, cleaning, moving stuffs around the house etc. thanks buddy!

also, my long-awaited home theatre system has finally arrived! but alas, there seem to be missing hdmi cable that was promised to be free. sheesh. quite pissed with the way courts staff handled my purchase.

on sunday, my parents came over to help out around the house as well.
over the weekend, we managed to paint the kitchen and master bedroom as well as cleaning up some of the kitchen sink area and mending the toilet sinks.

more things to look out for this week as there will be installation of cornice, speaker wire routing and hang up the fans on tuesday and kitchen cabinet installation, bi-fold toilet doors and fixing up the remaining of the switches.

graduation ceremony, out!

July 10th, 2009 konstrain No comments

another item striked out. after the long awaited convocation, i’m finally proud to be the first graduate in my family. fulfilled my dad’s wishes at last.

apart from that, came home to a huge mess after day 2 of lighting and rewiring works. today was even more messy due to more drillings in the kitchen and living.

it will continue again the next day, with hopes that the works could finish before I can start painting. *pray*
