Obsessions...

I have problem with obsessions, when I am interested in something, I really becomes obsessed with it until that's all I'll be thinking about. Gym, cooking, gardening... to name a few. The latest addition to the list would be house interior design. It is started when I and wife found out that our house is completed, and only waiting for CF and the key. We are not sure when we will get the key, the agreement says it is before Feb 06, but the house was launched on Oct, so I guess it must be sooner than later.

It's time. We need to start acting, no more empty 'surveying' in the shopping complex, it is time to put all our knowledge we gather in the form of quotations. My wife is the one so 'beria-ria' doing all this. But now I have taken her place. She complained a lot that I don't care so much about the house thing, but she has created a monster!!! And there is no stopping me now.

But the house is ALL I could think about now. Every page I turned in the newspaper, my eyes will scan for any furniture, kitchen cabinet or bathroom or anything related to house promotion adverts. Anjung Seri suddenly seems like a very good magazine to read.

I think this is a good obsession; at least I am spending time (and money) in something useful and long term. And it really gives a fulfillment investing in real estate. I really really can't wait to move in to our new house. I have SO many ideas now that I need to write down everything or else I'll forget everything.

Well, we first is to do Kitchen Cabinet first. We got few quotations already. And one seems really promising. We bought a hood and a hob for our kitchen cabinet, since we got a really good offer from Home One and Maybank, a real bargain that I am really happy. We also bough light for dining room since it was so gorgeous, even we haven't figure out the lighting scheme at that moment.

We are thinking of Modern /Cosmopolitan /Contemporary concept with a little (tiny) touch of Oriental taste. Well lets see how's that turns out, well, it mainly depends on one thing...budget. Wish that Casa Impian will throw me a free house make over…. Well one can always wish right?

Hey.. congrats on the new house.. dont forget to invite me to your housewarming party.. ehehe..

Actually I kinda know how you feel because I was helping a friend to move into a new house not long ago. We were obsessed with IKEA, and we were there every other day just to window shop and decide which furnitures would go best with the house. Well.. as long as you have the $$$ then there should be no problem. But dont hesitate to spend more because good furnitures will last long.. maybe longer than we us.. ehehe..

Anyway, happy furniture hunting.. and happy decorating!!
