Fixed?

Seems the sound at the back of the car is finally fixed this 3rd time .... the rattling sound at the back seems to come from the door catch at the back. Seemed to have gotten loose over time. It also only occurred when the car has been on the road for about 15 min, probably need time to warm up, which cause the chassis to expand ... VW put some grease over the catch.

Monitor mode right now .... hope it doesn't come back.

I shop with the keyboard and mouse

I like shopping online. It's comfortable and easy. The disadvantages would be maybe the items didn't fit sometimes or damaged during shipping. In any case, I found that my online shopping probably takes up 70% of all the shopping that I do!

Newest buy, I'm a sucker for keyboards ... Looking forward to this new Logitech.

The existing gas pipes were all rusty so the technician decided to change them. Forgot to ask if I'll be charged ... but it's for the better. Looks great.

I'm talking about the wrought iron grilles at the balcony area ... I was quoted $1,200 for just the replacement of the corroded bar at the top!!!

My First Prada

I used to hate totes but I absolutely love them now. A messenger bag slung across the body always cut me quite uncomfortably at the neck. A shopping tote is quite handy actually ... well, you hold with the hands. Nice and trendy :)

This for a steal at $734 at Reebonz.

Got this swivel TV mount from Homefix for $79. The TV would not be facing the bed.

This laundry rack hanger actually cost $35.90 ... bought from a neighbourhood shop ...

False ceiling is up.

I never like going into Malaysia Johor Bahru. The long queues at the causeway is a turn off, so is the high crime rate over the other end ... However, I had to make an exception this time.

We went in to JB on a afternoon to buy KDK fans. Indeed, the savings were huge! 4 ceiling fans for about S$630. That would cost about S$1200 - $1500 in SG.

Today, we met up with the id for a discussion on the carpentry. As with all discussion, it's never a half hour thing, especially when we have the two kiddos with us ... it's a weekend, can't possibly leave them with our parents. Parents need a break as well.

It took us one and a half hour ...

More costs ... the electrical and additional items like windows, false ceilings for the bedrooms. Wants vs money ... wished I had more of the latter.

I do hope the end result is worth it.
