We finally moved in................!!!!

We finally moved in , in the eve of awal Muharram, kira hari baik le tu.

My in laws came and we had dinner in the new house. The house still empty, no furniture yet. Only kitchen cabinet and the inflattable bed is there.

The worse part is there is no TV, me and my wife realized that live without TV can be pretty boring. We look at each other after dinner and went to bed at 9!!! Imagine that!
Anyway we were all tired cleaning up the house.

No matter how much we clean up the house, next day they will be a layer of dust on the floor, just give !!!!

Frinz keep on asking when they can come visit, so tensed la, furniture pun xder, nak suruh duduk atas apa?
bersabar jer la................

p/s: I realise that my entry is getting boring................... :(

Married men can't go to gym?

Some people ask me questions that really make wonder that I am speechless that I can't answer it?

Why do you go to gym man?....you are already married waht? No need to go la........


I really don't see the connection? What one got to woth another? I really dont get it!!!

We only shape up to attract the girls? Is that all? How about keeping fit, overall fitness, health concious and I can give million reasons to go to gym.

FOr me it mostly hooby, it keep me occopied, whenever I feel really tensed, I'll go to gym to relax, it is really satifying.

I am been going to gym during lunch hour nowadays, easier, at least can go back straight home after work. Gym is empty during lunch time, which is just perfect!

Paal Katchran

We have successfully performed the paal katchran (paal=milk, katchran=cook) It is our culture to do this first before moving in to new house, before moving in any furniture to the house. Followed by doa selamat. We had that on 21st Jan 06. Reached new house before subuh, prayed subuh there and followes by reciting yasin and doa selamat. The imam later azan in the house twice, upstairs and downstairs.
I didn't know it would be big hoo haaa just to move in. I thought it would be simple only. Only my family and my in laws family were there. This is not a house warming. That one I have no idea when to do, even now I am way over the budget to do anything else.
Planning to move in during long weeken during Chinese New Year next week, and gonna spend the first night in the new house on Awal Muharam eve. It is a good date.
Hope things goes well.

I think I'll never ever do curtain with aunty Nadirah again, what a cut throat price! Better do in Tee Wah or normal shop.

Ok Chow.......................................

Kitchen cabinet ohhh kitchen cabinet......

To make long story short....

The microwave oven (panasonic brand) doesn not fit into the cabinet hole.
Macam nak pengsan after I tried to fit the micro oven inside...tak muat!!!!

Macam ni............. Before they started doing the cabinet I told the cabinet fellow from Welco Kitchen (this guy quite blur sotong type) that my microwave size is 600x400 (mm). Then he said ok la, can fit, then afterward I called him that the oven doesn't fit, he said the size he mentioned was including the wood at the each side, so it less than 600. So tak muat la....

Feel like crying only, called the electric shop, they said cannot change the oven already, sebab the box all dah koyak because already soaked wet in the rain.

Gaduh punye gaduh, at the end the kitchen cabinet fellow agreed to change it with charge (initially they requested to pay a bit)

Baru lega sikit.........................







Pict: Cabinet before hud and hob installed....

This house is our house........

This House

Where do we go from here?
What must we do to make that change?
It's time to understand, understand one another
In a world so cold a place of disbelief
Where will the people go without enough to eat
Let's not give up hope
We have to find a way
Search within our soul to make a better day
Chorus:This house is our house
Let's do it for the people
This house is their house
Let's give it back to the people
The people of the world today
I see hurt in their eyes
I hear the sounds of voices cry
It's time to open our eyes
Time to help one another
In a world so cold a place of disbelief
Where can the people go to find a place to sleep
Let's not give up hope we have to find a way
Search within our soul to make a better day

Chorus
Bridge:You-Me-We can make the difference
And you know no one, no one likes to be alone
We got to face it heart to heart
We have to make a brand new start
We got to change the tears to smiles
We have to go the exta mile
(you-me) It's time we face reality
(We can make the difference)
Give them hope and set them free
I think it's time we say goodbye
To all the homeless people's cry
Rap:We've got to take the time to search the mind to find
This house, our house
(It's all in the hands of love)
(I said it's all in the hands of love)
Chorus


LOVED this song when I was a teenager (Hmm whatever happend to Tracie Spencer?!!! Loved her)

Anyway, below are fer shots of the renovation progress of my house..............
Cant wait (eager and worried) to see how the end result going to look like........

Meanwhile...... here it is.........
