Anything & Everything Under The Sun

I can’t imagine a world without friends… I would have gone crazy if my friends weren’t there to help Ken and myself with our new home. Our new home is in Puchong and it’s about 85% completed (renovation done, most furnitures in, only a few more bits and pieces to go).

For the past few Saturdays & Sundays, we’ve been busy with overlooking the renovation works, buying tiles, sourcing for fixtures for the home, moving items from Kelana Jaya to the new home, cleaning, installing fixtures & fittings and most dangerous of all installing the air conditioners. Ken & myself definitely did not do any of those by ourselves but we got A LOT of help from our friends, Nigel, Felix, David, Small Pang & Chris.

Two of our air conditioners (the one in the living room & the one in the master bedroom) actually came in the package which also includes installation but the compressors were suppose to be installed WITHIN the wet kitchen area and we didn’t want that. So we asked the appointed installer to install them outside, against the wall. He made a HUGE mistake when he tried to hard with the pricing. He first quoted about RM250 and it increased gradually over a few days to about OVER 1K!! So Ken decided that he’s gonna install them himself with the help of his fellow technician, Small Pang (that’s what we call him).

To cut the story short, Ken actually had to climb out and stand on one of the wall mounted brackets to secure the last bracket which was a bit out of reach. And that actually scared the living daylights out of me when I saw him outside, with a safety belt secured around his waist and 3 fellows (Nigel, David & Small Pang) holding on to the rope attached to that belt… and that’s because we’re on the 8th floor!!!

These friends of ours actually helped us installing most of the fixtures & fittings in our home, taking the rubbish down to the ground floor for disposal, carrying and transporting stuffs from different locations to our home & many more. Moving in to a new home is not really that easy. It would have actually taken us a few more Saturdays & Sundays to get those things done. I actually mopped the whole house 4 TIMES!!

Well, to Nigel, Felix, David, Small Pang & Chris, thank you SOOOOO MUCH for your help & contribution. The whole process would not be that smooth without you guys. Not forgetting our fellow sponsors, my mom & dad, my sisters (Yvonne, Adelene & Ruth), my grandma, aunt Lisa, uncle David, aunt Daphne, my cousin Esther, Ken’s mom, Ken’s sisters (Lilian & Evelyn) for furnitures, big & small appliances as well as some fittings to the home.

I’ll publish some photos of our new home when it’s done.
