Anggerik Perdana: house repainting


Salam Aidiladha for all readers..
Yesterday I got a comment from an unknown reader, requesting me to update my blog. For how long i am not updating it ha?Owh... more than two weeks!! ok, its too bad.

Actually lot of thing happens within this two weeks that limit my free time to update the blog.

Since I moved to my new house, I planned to do repainting. The original dull yellow colour makes me feel bored.. :( Even though my mom said, " Kan sayang cat asal tu.. cat baru tu..", I still stick with my plan to paint it with my self-picked and favourite colour..hehe.. two colours flew into my mind...


So, 15 Nov 2008 (Saturday), my sister and I go to a hardware shops. We also looking for tikar getah actually.. My house is not built with tiles, low-cost.. And I am short of budget to put tiles now. So, tikar getah sounds ok. Then, we found that there are one hardware shop in Taman Pinggiran Putra selling paints at a price of lower than i used to buy .Lucky me! I bought four different colours, a couple for bedrooms and a couple for my living hall. For a 7 litres, it cost me around rm30 - rm 45 each, depends on the colour and brand. I chose Walltex from SeaMaster and Maxilite from ICI Paint because they are economic and provides a range of colour i want. If you have a bigger budget, of course you can buy a better paint, a premier paint by jotun or dulux maybe..

The repainting works started on 22 Nov 2008, Saturday at 2.00 p.m. Alhamdulillah, my mom, my sisters Sitie and Itah and my brother-in-law, Zahim came to lend a hand.. becoming a good and skillful painting team, chewah...

For a 7 litre paint, when i painted the feature walls of the two bedrooms, there are still less than half left. But for a non-feature wall, it is just enogh (almost not enough actually.. hehe) for the two rooms. Then, for the feature wall of my living hall which includes the dining area, still less than half left. The same goes to for a non-feature wall paint for the area. This means that, I need to buy another paint for my third single room and my sister, sitie can take away all my remaining paints for her new house in Kuantan! What a good news to her.

Actually, you can do the painting by yourself. No need to hire someone. You just need enough paint, water (if you need to thin the paint), enough rollers for all team members, maybe one or two small brush or small rollers for the small areas, the 'bekas utk gelek' (i dont know what people call it) and a stairs. If you not expert, u may need masking tape to cover the boundary so that the painting boundary looks nice.

Excluding the kitchen and the 3rd room, we completed the painting works on 12.00 pm on the next day. Because after that, Sitie, Zahim and I rushed to few furniture and lighting shops because sitie and zahim want to do shopping for their new house. I also have a makan-makan invitation at Anim's house.

(hey, anybody want to borrow me digital camera? i want to take few snaps of my painting works result and put it here..)

Risiko pinjaman dan jaminan sewa

Semalam saya ada menerima satu soalan cepu emas susulan dari perkongsian saya mengenai Terminal Pahlawan DI SINI . Soalan dari tuan Derok, iaitu Salam, Saya ada beberapa persoalan 1. Bagaimana jika loan pembeli tidak diluluskan oleh bank setelah unit siap, adakah pihak pemaju akan pulangkan semula wang 30% tersebut atau beberapa % ? 2. Beberapa bulan yang lepas, saya ada ditawarkan program seperti ini, unit kediaman di Serdang, pemaju menjanjikan beberapa % hasil sewa, segala urusan sewa, pemaju yang uruskan, tapi saya tidak terima pelawaan itu, kerana "takut", apakah yang menyebabkan Cik Rohaniah membeli unit pahlawan ini selain dari hal persekitaran? apakah yang menyebabkan Cik Rohaniah percaya? Apakah dokumen2 yang harus kita teliti untuk mempercayai "program" seperti ini? saya tak reti bab2 under construction ni..mohon penjelasan. tq Pertamanya, saya nak ucapkan terima kasih kepada beliau kerana sudi mengunjungi blog saya. Walaupun blog ni tak bera...

Seni Mengimbangi Attach dan Detach dalam Hubungan (Termasuk Friendship)

Dalam hidup, kita akan jumpa orang yang buat kita rasa selesa, seronok berbual, dan terasa ada connection yang baik. Tapi tak kira dalam hubungan cinta atau persahabatan, ada satu perkara penting yang kita kena faham—bagaimana untuk mengimbangi antara attach dan detach .  Kalau kita tak kawal keseimbangan ni, kita mungkin akan terperangkap dalam hubungan yang tak sihat atau merasa terlalu terbeban dengan perasaan sendiri. 1. Fahami Kenapa Kita Attach Kadang-kadang, kita tak perasan yang kita terlalu melekat pada seseorang. Kita seronok berbual, berkongsi cerita, dan akhirnya kita letak harapan bahawa mereka akan ada untuk kita setiap masa. Ini normal, sebab manusia memang suka connection . Tapi, bila kita terlalu attach , kita mula letak expectation tanpa sedar—contohnya, kita harap mereka akan balas mesej cepat, selalu ada untuk kita, atau tak berubah dari cara mereka sebelum ni. Tapi realitinya, manusia ada hidup mereka sendiri. Bila mereka sibuk atau tak dapat b...

Orang yang tidur sambil TV on. Ini sebenarnya berlaku dari segi psikologi manusia

Tidur kena senyap? Mana boleh... Nak senang tidur, kena pasang tv. ---- Aku la tu… jenis yang lagi senang tidur bila TV menyala. Kalau tak ada TV, bukak je iPad, pasang YouTube ke Netflix ke… janji ada bunyi. Hahaha.  Siapa geng? Rupanya ada sebab tau dari segi psikologi, kenapa agaknya perangai macam ni wujud? --- Lari kejap dari topik travel... tadi saya terbaca satu artikel psikologi, katanya orang yang suka tidur dengan TV on ni sebenarnya ada 8 ciri personaliti tertentu.  Bila aku baca… Iskkk… macam ada kena. Meh saya cerita semula 8 ciri psikologi untuk orang yang senang tidur atau memang selesa tidur sambil tv on ni. --- 1. Kita pandai “adjust suhu emosi” sendiri Ada orang bila stress, dia melenting. Tapi kita… pasang TV. Bukan sebab nak tengok pun, tapi bunyi TV tu macam aircond emosi. Bagi rasa selesa, tak terlalu sunyi, tak terlalu bising. Just nice. Balance. 2. Senyap tu sebenarnya bising gila Bila semua senyap, otak kita jadi makin bingit. Lagi tak sele...
