Toward The End IV

Yesterday, Keng got me to flip an email to our builder regarding the leftover brick paves in the garage. Guess what, we're able to keep them up for our own use. How blessed we are, right?

To be frank, we still need to work out on 2.7m * 3.6m of the crossover (that need to pay upfront)
Now, we do not need to worry about the bricks as we'll be paying for the labor only!

Toward The End III

Someone was working on-site, we then took the opportunity to 'sneak-in' the house (with permission this time >,<). Here's the progress...

 The front view-
still need to work out with the crossover!

that's the en-suite-100% completed

(supposed to close the lid of the toilet)

kitchen area- 100% completed 
fyi, table is white in color not green

closer look of  the cook-top and oven
(pretty small one)

 alfresco- 100% completed

laundry area- 100% completed

中间人 Middleman

你曾当过"中间人"吗?

Have you ever been a middle man before?

我试过,感觉不好受...

更何况,他们是我要好的朋友

有点可惜

但我相信有一天, 我们会如往一样

因为我们是好朋友

I tried and I felt really bad

Furthermore, they're really my good friend....

It's pity

I believe one day, we'll just like the good old days

because we're good friend

那当然, 我也当过媒人

凑合一对男女朋友

Of course, I matched make couples too...

becoming so-called a 'middle-man'

haha..

不好意思,忽然有点感触

可能时间多了点

I'm sorry, all of sudden I felt so emotional

might be due to I have plenty time today

*@*@*@*@*

Just before I left, yesterday I bought 4 medium-size pillows to be placed it on the lounge...

Now I'm regret of choosing grey color the lounge

At first, I thought of having a dark color for the lounger- perhaps dark grey or black

Guess what, we'll be having sort of white painted on the wall

Besides, my TV unit and coffee table is all white

I can't make any changes anymore as the lounge is ready to dispatch

Now the only way to get back White-Black combination

is to put a black rug on the floor

Do you think, will take look better?

Progress Watcher

Here's the progress of the house in chart

* Due to the rain, there are certain job can't be carried out....

That's the reason, they have to skip and proceed with others! 

 

Shopaholic?

Last Friday was my last day in Complaint Team.

Again, I'm back to queue on 20 June onward.

What will happen then? I can't tell....

Frankly, there is no certainty at all  to work in a call-center

I have a colleague who's in wireline now is going to cross skilled with unwelcome call and vice-versa

So, I might be going back to Complaint soon

or some new job might be awaiting me to grab...

Who KNOWS?

Let's just change our topic for today....

FYI, here comes the financial year end stock take

Everywhere is now on SALES.SALES.SALES

Nothing much to do @home...

Besides, we're thinking of getting some bar stools.

Therefore, we're heading to A-mart again!

Undeniable, we bought two of them and a coffee table

 

The coffee table is exactly the same as my dining table

It's a all WHITE with a little rough surface (not glossy type)

Supposedly, they are ALL IN ONE including TV unit, cupboard and etc..

Without second thought, hubby bought a new laptop. Running on AMD processor

Guess what? The price is much more cheaper than I expected

On the other hand, WII is on big bargain too

It's about AUD177 including one game

I did ask him to get one

Unfortunately, my request was declined :(

Anyway, that's not important at the time being.

Just wanna tell you that in summary, everything is on sales now!

just lucky that I'm not a shopaholic

or else definitely I will shop till drop!

kekek...

P/S: We're soon to submit our tax for 2010/2011 in July, I just can't wait to get some money back!

Yipee >,<

Toward The End II

Additional photos... (* We sneaked-in the house because it was unlocked on 15/6/2011)

so called "water-proof" socket and 

that's our brick known as 'Hamelin'

Electrical testing is finally completed!

closer look of the wall tiles and range-hood 

An even closer picture of the wall tiles and range-hood

Bath-tub is now completed!

Toward The End

It's almost toward the end of construction (completed at about 85%)

I guess they still left:

- Painting

- Brick paving

- Electrical Testing

- Carpet and blind installing

- Cleaning-up

NOTES: Neighbor just left brick-paving process, they will be moving in earlier than us even we started the construction first! Honestly, I can't waiting for the inspection and handover....

Water heater system 

 

That's the en-suite (still waiting for a closed bathing area)

This is the kitchen area (just a small one)

Still waiting for the cooktop(top) to be installed

It look weird (without putting the whole wall with tiles),right?

 As they had charged AUD1200 for this 'look'

It will be very costly to put the whole wall with tiles

Thinking of DIY later  (* 1 tile=AUD44)

Mixed Feeling

From 20th June, I'm back to my nominal position again!

Foxtel on TBOX will be released on that day too..

Oh GOD

It's a pain now..

AGAIN with all those KPI- AHT, FCR...

Furthermore, I'll be on a rotating shift..

:(

I wish I could just stay in COMPLAINTS Team

....

..

..

.

How do I feel?

Today, I'm incredibly high up in sky

feeling a little exciting, not because I won lotto or anything.

BECAUSE tomorrow I won't be calling the customer as 

I'll be in the training room, attending refresher course for TBOX and THUB (8-4pm)

In truth, I love training a lot!

>,<

*@*@*@*@*@*

Finally, the solar heater was spoil 

and I'm taking cold shower everyday

Even in this cold weather (6-19°C)

(for your knowledge, it's winter now! (June-Aug))

Can you imagine how cold the water is?

Just imagine when a monkey was thrown in the water

Haha..(I'm the monkey- kept 'dancing' in the bathroom)

*@*@*@*@*@*

Previously, I was on 3 THREE cap-plan and I'm paying AUD29/month for my mobile for 24 months

Now, I had changed to Vodafone PREPAID- Recharge 365

and of course, I still have my mobile no# remain

Nowadays, I'm using SKYPE to make outgoing calls to Malaysia * AUD0.03c/min for landlines, AUD0.084c/min for mobile and AUD0.13c/sms (unfortunately, I haven't activate to receive sms)

*@*@*@*@*@*

Going to bed now

Sweet dream

Zzzz.

zzz

zz

z..

cming

8.58pm

6.28am. Cold. Dark.

It's still dark outside.

Hubby is still sleeping while I'm now totally re-charged, blogging in this freaking cold weather..

Waiting for '怒火街头'Ep 5- still in the progress of downloading! (a new TVB series)

Can't sleep now since I have used to wake up at this time, will have my nap later on.

I'm happy because AGAIN I'm on a break, Monday is Foundation Day (public holiday in WA)

Any plan for me? I'm thinking of getting some small appliances or should I just wait until the house is ready?

Perhaps, I might just wait as we have insufficient space for those stuffs.

Eventually, I will be staying at home! (I guess..)

How nice if I had moved in to my new house, right?

At 6.41am, I hear the bird chirping and crow crowing..

Life is so beautiful. Don't you think so?

................

Can't think of what to say

Have a lovely weekend

Ta.

Contruction still going on III....

Here you go...

Ours and neighbor one..

Still working on the tiles...

That's the food storage

The table was still covered (supposed to be white one)

The empty area mainly for gas cook-top(top)

and electrical oven (below)

Still working on the bathroom & en-suite...

Today, we visited Good Guys in Cannington (an electrical shop) because they are on "end of financial stock take sales". We went there 2 weeks ago, as they are having 40% off for selected item. At that time, we had decided to buy them but not allow to keep stock for more than 6 weeks. At last, we bought them and keeping them in warehouse:

- A 9.5KG washing machine

- A 610L side by side refrigerator

- A 47" LED TV

Moving to a new house is a pain! You'll need to spend lot of $$$.

I just love new house. What to do? 
LOL

Contruction still going on II

These photos were taken on 27 May 2011...

 This is my house...

 This is the laundry area

This is the bathtub (partially completed)

The house is finally locked up on 29 May 2011. Both of us are no longer able to access the premise. From tomorrow onward, we're only able to view the construction from the window. :(

Another thing to share out with you guys is that, we had finally bought our lounge(sofa). AGAIN, I ordered it online (ebay)- Sydney Lounge Specialist. This is what I'm going for (but GREY in color with chrome feet). The price is reasonable, just because we're located in Perth (the delivery charges is a little expensive!). Besides, it's a reversible chaise and the dimension just fitted to our small family area.

Did you realize that nowadays I've hooked to online purchase? Honestly, if I can't get whatever I need, my alternative solution is ebay.com.au! Most probably, you'll get what you want to. Recently, I bought a Doeromon 4GB USB memory stick too from ebay too. My husband wants to connect it to his car, listening to his songs instead of the repeating one from radio!  I used to pay them through my PAYPAL account. ;) and I found no problem of using it at all- in the sense of reliability and security!

Try it yourself and you'll know...

Awesome Friday

Friday is always awesome to me! Since I started working, I'm always looking forward for Friday night...

Though I'm not the party type-I'll be 'FREE' from hassle for at least 2-days. >,<

Yesterday, my husband and I had a discussion what color to be painted and we decided to go for some soft color (total of 5 difference color). Finger crossed that all the colors will be just perfect-matched to the house.

- 2 colors for the 3 bedrooms as they'll soon be carpeted in BROWN color (something that will contrast to brown color)

- Only 1 color will be applying to laundry, en-suite, bathroom and toilet.

- 2 colors to be applied to kitchen, meals and family area as  I need to get something that will match to the floor and wall tiles in kitchen.

Guess what? I'm now streaming to Mix FM Malaysia AGAIN ~because of the 'MANGLISH ' that I  used to????

I'm back to queue today for just the 2 hours ~due to high volume I guess! I thought that I must had forgotten what to do because I had not been on call for 2 months. Luckily, the customers were pretty fine and kinda happy. On the other hand, I'm kinda worried too as there are some changes that I might not be aware of!

Before I knock-off, I found that I haven't really show you the exact house plan. Therefore, check out the following attachment (It's just a baby lot- I don't mind sharing!)

Have a lovely weekend and spend them wisely, OK? (Note: I'm talking to myself)

Contruction still going on....

Today, we visited the site and here's the progress.....

Entrance door (waiting to be colored)

Grano for the garage

wardrobe in bedroom 2/3

Walking wardrobe in bedroom1

Construction continues...

Since we're off and free at home today, we decided to visit Super Amart (furniture store) in Cannington. We had been to the store for a few times and still undecided which to go for. We got three of them that caught our eyes. Check out as below: 

Unfortunately, the third one is not available in their website- the one we bought.. It's 1.8m*900m, white in color with 6 black chairs and it's made of wood with a little rough surface (not glossy type as in pic1). The four stands are much more thicker compared to the second one. At first, we thought of going for the pic1 (about 2m, AUD900). After consideration (length issue), we decided to go for the third one. The second and third one are exactly the same price but TV unit is white.  Besides, we decided to go for ALL WHITE in family, dining and kitchen area. 

Any thing is, we're absolutely lucky. Guess what? We got AUD200 off purchasing the third one. ;)

* photo source: Amart website

Of course, we never miss visiting our house...Here's the progress!

Glazing- 100% completed 

(Next week, I guess they will be locking the house after installation of the door)

 

I'm so HAPPY!

I have bought the TV unit as showed in my previous blog. Finally, the seller allowed it to be dispatched in July and I will be collecting the item from their warehouse. Just to recall your memory, this is the TV unit I'm looking for...

Frankly speaking, there is nothing special about the unit. It's because we just own a small family area whereby they can't really fit-in bigger/longer TV unit. Besides, I can't find something about 1.5m in any store (most of them are about 2m). 

Freaking Cold Shower

I'm not sure what happen to our landlord recently,

He switched off the solar whenever it was not been used...

We understood his intention, he might want to save $$$.

Did he know what is exactly SOLAR about?

I guess he's not!

Just to let you know that,we're now in autumn and it is about 10-25°C

It was freaking cold every morning (with the wind blowing from windows) and guess what?

I had been taking cold shower for about 3 weeks already

(switching on/off the solar made no difference)

(luckily, I didn't fall asick)

Anyway, I was totally awake after the shower

:)

Finally, he had the switch on all the time now

His girlfriend and husband were complaining about it

I didn't wanna talk to him at all

That's the reason why I'm so eagerly waiting for the house to be completed!

Even if I need to move in during ghost festival,

I don't care anymore

Hahaha....

Contruction continues IV...

The house now had been plastered...

We're being informed the house should be handover to us in mid July.... 

2 months to go...

Waiting, waiting & waiting...

(Waiting is always the hardest thing)

Besides, they are going to install the window and shall have the house lockup for cabinet installation and tiling and we might not able to show you the photos... :(

Contruction continues III

Long time no see. How are you doing? I'm absolutely fine here.

At the time being, I'm still working out with customer's complaints...

>,< (15 outstanding cases left in my basket)

Time passes fast! Perhaps, let me AGAIN share with you the progress of my house..

a. Roof - 100% completed

The other side- that will be guarded (with fencing) later 

b. Wall- 100% completed (will be plastered soon)

wardrobe in bedroom 3 (cabinet & door will be installed later)

c. Ceiling- 80% Completed

 Family and dining area

 

  Walking wardrobe and en-suite(left)

* All the house pictures were taken by my hubby!

Bad.Good

Last Friday 29.4.2010 was my last day in Complaint Team!

We have nothing much to do as the outstanding cases will be handed back to NSW to follow up

As a result, all of us were kinda free while I was busy chatting with a bunch of friends at the other table

But all of a sudden, one of my colleague approached us exclaiming that, T will be getting rid of 35 casual staffs! (FYI, I'm a casual staff too)

After-all, my heart pounding fast and my hand/feet were so cold

Frankly speaking, it was absolutely terrible!

Fortunately, I was not been kicked off this time.. (Not sure what will happen later)

Today, I'm back on call again and I'm in Donkey Kong team (under Matt Butler)

It was kinda hard as I had not on call for almost a month

Of course, still I managed them well >,<

At about 3pm, I received a call from Marie Claire that I'll be joining the Complaint Teams again tomorrow. Gorgeous!

P/S: On the other hand, I'm looking for other opportunity too!
