Friendship

As I grow older, got married and have a family. I wonder if I will still have my friends with me?

I not the kind of person who have alots of friends.. those who I called good friends (aka sisters kinds) are just a handful. I'm thankful that I have 2 good sisters whom I've been contacting since Secondary School days.. they are my oldest friends.

Next batch of friends are the ones that I've made during my working days. These group of girls are the only ones who are I really hang out with and meet up often. But recently I felt that one of them have fall out of grid.. Felt sad that best friends has become strangers.

Well, life still lives on. At least now I know who are my true friends.

Motherhood vs Just Me?

Now that I'm a mother.. I can start to feel the difference when I'm single and when I have a toddler on my hip.

Things are different. My weekends are spent mothering that little human that I've created. I spent time playing with her, bringing her out and do some mother daughter bonding.
Time actually flies when you're out.. well for my case cause my in law place isn't really baby proof and D is super curious that she will touch EVERYTHING! (Itchy fingers and itchy backside cause she can't sit still)

Trust me, I love our weekends like this. But at times, I just wish have a day to myself to do things that I want.. Stuffs like, going for yoga classes, manicure / pedicures, going to hair salon to get my hair done and etc. I'm able to do these "my errands" on weekdays which means that I will need to apply leave.

This year.. a big bulk of my leave went to house renovations. I need to take leave here and there to ensure that delivery is on time, to check out works are done according to our preferences and etc. This leave me with having to think carefully whenever I wanna apply leave to run my own errands.

I just wish that I can split myself into two.

Home Renovation {Part 4 - Handover & Home Styling}

Our renovation has finally come to an end!! We were pretty excitied when our contractors are ready to handover our place!

Our Living Room. We super love the IKEA Chair & our mini Sofa! They are sooo comfortable!

Kitchen area.

Super loving the komplacpus top!

Shoe Rack @ the entrance. 

Study Room

Kids Room

Finally purchased our TV! 

More pictures to come and these are just the initial stage where we start to do our decorating!

We have unofficially moved it.. well maybe just the weekends only. More like a staycation house!

Thus far.. all carpentry stuffs works fine (In terms of cupboard, drawers etc). Both my parent in laws claims that our contractors did a pretty good job.

The only spoiler is our aircon! Damn it!! Firstly aircon was not cool at all.. got the Panasonic guys to check and realize that the condenser gas is leaking. So the aircon contractor got this team down to repair and that was 3 weeks ago.

Last week, again the aircon isn't working! Not cold at all.. have to get them to come down to service.
And they even have the cheek to say to me that hopefully this is the last time they service our aircon!! Wah lau!! In the first place, if you do a good job, you don't have to come down to my place numerous time!

More furniture are coming in this weekend so take the chance to tidy the house and post up more pictures!

Have a great weekend and make a wise choice during Polling Day!!

Home Renovation {Part 3 - Carpentry Works}

So here's a little update on my house renovation.

We are pretty happy with the outcome! Finally we have a home to call our own.

A heaven for us to return.. 

Carpentry works are up for the whole house as well as lightings that we purchased from Taobao.

It really pay off to read the reviews of the items carefully. Cause those lights that we carefully purchased are of good quality.

When I first know about Kompacplus, I tell myself.. I'm so gonna do this for my place and there is my dream come true.

I love the woody grains and how sleek the kitchen top looks.

It's really a pity that due to space constraint we couldn't do a mini walk in wardrobe. Cause it's my dream to have one! But still, this is good enough.. And I think I make a pretty good choice to have 2 different laminates  shades together!

Another piece of work that my contractors did for me that I super love!

We are pretty happy with the workmanship from Mr J&E. You can see that the quality is there. We have no complaints about this duo! Thumbs up!
Though Mr E is the only project manager and they have at least over 10 projects on hand thus a little reminder as and well is required.

And right now, they have handover the flat to us. So we can't wait to start decorating and move in real soon!!

See ya next time!

Friendship

For me, all along I dun have much friends. Those friends that I'm constantly in touch with are the ones I truly called Friends.

Friendship are also a test of time. After sometime.. Friends get distance away to the point where they only contact you when they needed your help. Now I have become "friends with benefits"?

So I wondered why did I bother to send occasional tects to see how are you and stuffs. But the other party just never send those kind of text and yet can find excuses. Saying things like, they are busy with work, kids and stuffs.

Hello.. Don't I have to work and have a kid? So if I can spare that little moment to text you.. Why can't you?

Bottom line.. If they truly treat you as a friend. They will always send a text as and when just so you know that you were on their mind. That they value this friendship.

Vanity Me

Life has been pretty busy for me. I am just done with "hellweek" from work as the new intake commences.

Renovation are on going and thankfully my contractors are pretty responsible so I didn't have to bother much. It's the nitty gritty things that I need to co-ordinate. Eg, Deliveries of appliances etc..

So recently I managed to sneak out abit of time to get my hair done!! I've always always like to have perm hair.. but somehow the normal perm technology always make me look so auntie!!
So now that they have Volume Re bonding + Setting!!! I have been itching to try out since my last failed perm during my confinement last year. Did my homework and head down to the salon for my volume re bonding.

my failed perm hair in 2014. Makes me look like an auntie

After 3 hours later...

My Volume Re-bonding + S curl Perm

Somehow the hair stylist did a good job in blow dying my hair and that I left the salon with a smile on my face cause finally I get the perm that I wan!!!

3 days later when I tried to blow dry my hair.. I just can't get the same effect as above.

Somehow it seems alot more curlier... and of course the ends of my hair is very dry!! I'm dying to squeeze out time to head back to the salon for their hair manicure treatment.

In case you're wondering where I did my hair...
Cost me $320 for my hair length and I top up another $50 for a normal treatment.

Didn't get a chance to take a snapshot of their pricing.. should do that when I'm back again for the Hair Manicure + color.

Got it done at Hairplus Salon @ Far East Plaza.
It's really a Korean hair salon as all the stylist and even the receptionist are Korean.
