Too much to do

Around one more week to go before our OZ Adventure huyeaahhh! Will be all jakun going into Business Class of MAS - thanks to dear SRB's extra Enrich Points muahhss muahhss! Since AU Dollar turun from 2.9 to 2.5, the notes in most banks in KLCC dah habissss. I can't believe it. Guess I have to go to some small, cikai but licensed Pengurup Wang hehe. Lil bro said weather in OZ is a bit unpredictable, so better bring a jacket. And I'm thinking...let's shop for a new jacket!!! The ones I wore in US mcm ntah kat mane. Hehehe...

On another note, we are now entering a whole new world of home renovation bebeh. Honestly, I dunno a thing about it. Clueless beb. Growing up, I never really amek tau whenever my parents did renovation to the house. Tau2 jek voila, dah ade bilik baru, dah ade dining area baru. Yup, life as a kid is soo straight-forward hehe.

So now baru nak belajar sikit2. Magazines, internet, Casa Impian series...are all part of our research. How much does sekampit simen cost, wiring we need to consider if nak cabut tiang, structure we need to consider if nak pecahkan dinding, different type of tiles, different type of papan, where to find cheap but good tiles, papan, cat, type of rumput carpet yg bagos, where to find cheap and beautiful stuff for landscaping...omg pening. We are sooo amateur in this. But it's a whole new adult thing to do I guess. It's pretty exciting and at the same time, mencabar kesabaran renovating and decorating our house together (trust me, we don't agree on the same thing most of the time hehe).

Also a new world we are entering now is apartment-renting. Finding reliable agents, deciding type of tenants to consider (students, pak arab, pakistanis - have to be careful with them), finding cheap but durable air-cond to install in some of the rooms, finding cheap but decent TV-set, bed, etc to leave behind for the tenant. Quite a lot of things to manage there, while also juggling with the ever-so-demanding office work huwargghhh.

So, ade sape2 nak rent semi-furnished apartment, 15-minute drive to KLCC? Give us a call okeh?

I think by next year, we'll be soo damn broke that there'll be no money left for vacations isk isk isk. Well...if after all the renovations work our new home turns out to be this little piece of heaven in our world, we'll just go for vacation and relax dalam rumah aje pun dah best hahaks!

Rina, kitorg pun tgh research on renovation stuff and that includes and extension of one floor above, an outdoor patio, a mutiara grass garden, perimeter fence + corridor lighting + piping + wiring. Oh my gosh pening ok. So care to share your finding. Indeed it is a new world and aku serious takde duit for any mistakes.

Yup, will definitely go to non-klcc kedai pengurup wang hehe.

Lana, kami baru sekali dua discuss with our contractor. So the info belum byk sgt lagi. Once we get more findings, will share of course. But one tip by our contractor which I think is absolutely soo right - find materials kat kedai2 yg nearby to your house. Since harga minyak naik ni, transportation of materials also costs a lot. So jangan beli materials from kedai jauh2 sgt. Unless, your contractor boleh kawteem baekkk punye dgn the supplierlah, like FOC transportation ke hehe.
