Well ....

Hubby & I still prefer the first movie, Sex and The City 1.

Nevertheless, we enjoyed the close to 2.5-hour show.. the very familiar characters.. the fashion... etc .....

And we'll still buy the DVD when it's out to complete our set. :)

SATC 2

YAY......!

We've booked tix for the long-awaited Sex and The City 2!!! Hubby & I been looking out for online booking every single day since 2 weeks ago.

Really look forward to our movie date tomorrow evening!!:D

Facelift

Finally.......... finished compiling the pictures of our new home:) It's our first major project... we literally revamped everything. So voilà! Here're the Before & After look.

The previous owners painted their whole living hall yellowish brown, with yellow wallpaper. But we saw the potential in this unit;)
The color throughout our new home - black/grey/silver/white was first conceived back in last July, when we purchased our flat. We only got the keys 4 months later, in Nov, it's definitely a long wait...
Our bombshelter is hidden behind the mirror and next to the mirror is our 3-door ceiling to floor shoe cabinet:D

The previous owner tore down the wall between the kitchen & the yard. We reconstructed it & added a frosted glass door to hide the miscellaneous items. And mum can still cook while we dry our clothes.

The common toilet. We use lots of white as it's preferred by most people especially old people...

... like mum, since she's the one using it

The old kitchen cabinets were pretty run down & the wall was filled with brown stains which we believe were accumulated from years of cooking.

Gone was the ceiling fan & thin wooden strips (in the middle) nailed onto the walls surrounding the living room

The walls that formed the bedroom next to the balcony were first tore down by the previous owners to have a much bigger living room. But later they wanted back the bedroom so built the false walls (seen in the top pic). Part of the wall was already shaky when we bought it & the bedroom sliding door's mechanism was no longer working. The area without door was a dining room.
We re-erected the concrete walls (hollow blocks)... we converted the previous dining area into our study with a clear swing door. The bedroom behind our tv is mum's... we gave her a bigger bedroom by shifting the wall into the study
In fact we've rebuilt a number of walls around the house & paid quite a sum just on that.

Our bedroom. We hacked the wall between the MBR & bedroom 2. Bedroom 2 is turned into our Walk-in Wardrobe. Till now we still can't believe that I got my dream Walk-in so soon! :)

Our bedroom

The wall (where the fan was hanged) was hacked.
Bought a bar table as my make-up counter... prefer this height as it saves me lots of standing/sitting movements when in a rush. Originally wanted to custom make but due to budget constraint, we gotta put it aside.

Our all-black toilet!:D

Our Walk-in Wardrobe. Everyone visiting it thought they'd walked into a boutique. That's exactly the feel that we wanted!;)

An all-glass showcase in the middle of our Walk-in Wardrobe.

Mama has a Walk-in Wardrobe too!

The previous owners' dining area.. now our study room.

The balcony flooring was retiled too.

More pix here .....

My (Day) "Saver"

This saves my day:) Especially there's once after I sneaked out for breakfast with hubby (& of all the places we chose Ah Mei), we smelt like a dish of Indian curry. Glad we'd this to kill the evidence!:P
It's a Christmas gift from an ex-colleague & is meant for the hair only. But I find it as good for the clothes but just need a few more sprays to rid the unwanted smell.

Lunch @ Hog's Breath

My farewell lunch (Again!!) @ Hog's Breath, Chjimes.

The pretty lady on the right (in the pic) is a Lebanese. But I've always forgotten & treated her like a French as she speaks fluent French. She & her siblings studied in a French school in Lebanon since small. We often chatted as we sat opposite each other. She's a very nice lady & shared with me a lot about her hometown & others as she'd worked in Libya, Dubai, UK & Paris before being transferred to Singapore.

Just 1.5 month with this company and I've made some very nice friends there. My experience working there was a good one too.
A company that does interesting business and has a big mission - after almost every disaster occured (mostly the natural harzards like earthquake ...), they will be there. When travellers onboard or in foreigh land need immediate medical attention, they are there .....
The bosses were extremely great to work with. The CEO said it's a pity I wanted to leave and even on my last day of work, the GM was still asking if I could change my mind. I felt it's quite flattering though and am glad I left very amiably.
Well, most probably I would have stayed on for some time if it's not because of the time zones issue.

So will I regret giving this job up? Till now, nope. And I hope not in the future too. Regrets won't reverse any situation.

Started my new job without any break. It's another trying-out period.

Let His will be done. Amen.
