Getting Ready...

Last night I finally set my hands on getting the timetable and breakfast menu ready for Ethyl.

Yes, I will be preparing her breakfast, meaning I will have lesser beauty sleep, but I am all ready!

Here will be one convenient meal a week. I call it convenient meaning there is not much preparations needed. Like cornflakes and such.

Her school starts on 1 July. She is excited, and more so for me! Haha…I am not sending my daughter for her first lesson, but I hope she will love the new environment, Principal, teachers and friends.

We are all prepared for her new start! I got her a new school bag from Sanrio, got her a pair of Puma sneakers, a new princess water bottle and of course, I want to see her donning on her new uniform. I am sure she will look just as good!

I told her I will prepare breakfast for her and she was all excited! I will ask her if she prefer to have me prepare bentos for her instead if she wants. She mentioned she once shared the food I prepared for her in a school outing. At least she appreciates. I am really consoled.

Updates

This space has been neglected for a while. We were all busy shifting, cleaning, unpacking, and packing.

The new place is more or less done, finally we can call it: Home Sweet Home.

The kids love the new space, the actual space is actually 154sqm instead of 152sqm in the valuation. 2sqm, not a huge difference, but to us, compared to our first 90sqm, this is really a difference.

Kids love going up and down the stairs, loves going to the foyer and walk on the pebble wash floor, goes to the balcony that links to kitchen and hall, loves shuttling from room to room, Ethyl loves her toilet and makes an effort to climb up to the toilet and does her very business despite another is at L1.

She loves my rain shower and wanted to bathe under the rain.

Brayden darling is always amused by the ceiling fan whenever we switch it on. He is still cruising…we let him take his own sweet time. He is able to tell us he needs to pee and poo! So Mom actually let him wore shorts if she is free, else he’ll be in nappy.

Unpacking and packing is 95% done as of yesterday. Left with mine; one big luggage and one box of clothes.

There are some minor rectifications going on. So far I am happy with the workmanship. People who came likes the simple and clean look. The bright and airy feel. I have achieved what I wanted for my house. If I have more budget, I would have changed the stair railings too!

More updates and pictures of the kids will come later…stay tuned!

Final Phase of Reno

Ok, since Eileen, YL and Jan were asking about the lift system from Blum. Here is the picture of the system itself.

This system itself will stop the glass door at anytime when you let go :) It also closes softly. Just a gadget lah...I am so always into such gadgets :p

Here are my S4 drawers. top drawer can carry the weight up to 30kg, and bottom can carry the weight up to 50kg.

Sneak Peek

Ok, I know someone will not be happy to know the progress, BUT...she is the one who kept asking me the progress of my house. Here are some peeks before we shift in on 16June *smiles*

I so love the foyer actually...my fave part of the house so far!

Indeed exciting to see the transformation of the house, but the reality of packing...I better not think about it now!

The 2 Sundays

 

Two Sundays ago…

swim-reno 004

See how my little babe is enjoying? She has not been going to the pool ever since Brayden had his operation.

swim-reno 005

Besides the “big” one is enjoying, the 2 little boys enjoyed them selves too! Hitting the pool is the way to enjoy ourselves outdoor without having to bear with the heat.

I actually forgone the opportunity to go and select wallpaper in exchange for some family time. This is definitely more worthwhile.

Last Sunday…

The 2 kiddos are overdue for their haircut. We had the cut at Junior’s League, Suntec City.

Their little treats.

We really miss the time at home to ourselves, baking, cooking, lazing and playing. Just bear with it and we are shifting in in another 2 weeks’ time!
