and the slight renovation on the house starts..

not really a renovation, but I don't know the exact term for this :

• additional tiles to the backyard, outside the kitchen
• awning at the backyard as well ( hunny wanted the skylight or whatever it is called.. but because that will make the kitchen panas dengan humidity yang terkumpul , we decided on a normal plain awning..lagipun kurang sikit cost)
• plaster ceiling for the living room and dining hall.. hunny wanted that circular thing with engravings to place a chandelier.. tapi macam tak sesuai je, so we opted for normal plaster ceiling and lights yang tenggelam dalam ceiling tu. dunno what that is called.
• grille for the whole house..

all in all, it initially costed (ada ke such a word as costed? ) us RM7.3k.. which I think is quite all right memandangkan banyak jugak benda that we asked the contractor to do. Tapi masa tu i was being so chatty that I usik usik the guy to give me discount and make it RM6.5k.

hmm, he didnt give me that.. tapi he punched the calculator and showed me RM6.7 k.. okayla tu kan? berjaya ! Berjaya! I just sat there without moving a muscle after i mintak kurang.. lepas tu lama sikit baru dia kasi.. yeahay! boleh tahan..

hunny during that time buat buat jalan jauh nak cari cheque book. rupanya after that meeting, he told me , he gave me space to get the guy to reduce the price. tak sangka mr hubby percaya that I could do that..hehehe..

Lepas ni banyak lagi to do..kena kerja keras kumpul duit. To do list :

1. kicthen cabinet - which may cost around 5 to 6k depending on the style. I just want a simple one that would not injure me in any way. I ni kan clutz, asyik nak langgar aje any bucu that comes across.
2. fridge - ini nak kena tengok pintu bukak arah mana, nak sesuaikan dengan the kitchen cabinet layout. budget dalam 1.5k
3. sofa, katil for master bedroom, furniture lain lain - malas nak fikir dulu. Bujang jela yea..
4. pest control for anai-anai.. this shd be the first thing in the list sebab rumah baru memang sepatutnya we make sure that we call the pest control people. somemore our place used to be a ladang if i'm not mistaken
5. etc..
6. oh yea, MOT belum bayar lagi..that's going to cost us about RM3k.. macam mana ni?

It's okay, we shall start slow. Alhamdulillah yang basic macam grille tu semua dah dapat bayar. Yang lain lain we still have about 2 years to complete.

So peeps, our homecoming , eh bukan, housewarming will be when all of those items have been completed. Lama lagi la nampaknya, memang betul kena tunggu i balik.

Tapi macam mana couples lain yang beli rumah kat situ boleh buat reno habis habis? Macam mana they all kumpul duit cepat sangat? Amazing!
