New cupboard for Claris!

25 Dec 2013 (Wed) - We bought a new cupboard for C from IKEA! She chose the colour of the doors and legs herself. Very decisive. It took less than 1min for her to make her decision. C loves her new cupboard so much she helped to hang up all her clothes, haha! With her new cupboard and King mattress, she sure is a very happy little girl!

Decorative flowers

20 Apr 2013 (Sat) - Finally did something to make our home more cozy-looking! Bought this at Chinatown Point a few days ago. Nice right? $25.90. Expensive. That's why we only bought one, haha.



Welcome my new Tefal oven!

20 Feb 2013 (Wed) - Kitty and I had a challenging debate for 1.5hours late last night which lasted until 1am. He insisted that my Tecno oven can work. I insisted that it cannot bake good cakes and wanted to change a new set. He finally agreed to let me buy the Tefal oven! So before he change his mind, I decided to bring it to JP myself which he was at work. Unplugged the unit, packed everything nicely, tied the string, hauled the humongous box onto C's stroller and made our way to JP, haha! Topped up $181 for my Tefal oven! The promoter helped me carry it to the car park. Super happy!

The sad thing is, it cannot fit onto the new rack in the service balcony! So we had no choice but to place it on the kitchen countertop.















And because the oven takes up so much space, we had to shift most of our kitchen counter-top things to the rack at the service balcony instead. And to prevent C from her itchy hands, had to buy plastic drawers from Muji.

Welcome to baking!

18 Feb 2013 (Mon) - I baked pineapple tarts successfully last Friday and Kitty agreed to buy me an oven!

Went to Ikea yesterday to buy a shelving rack to put in our service balcony as our kitchen was too tiny to house an oven. Next, we went to Harvey at Funan to buy the oven only to find out that the model I wanted was too big to fit into the shelve. My second choice of oven was left with the display set.

We ended up going back to Jurong Point Harvey. Went to Courts too. Had a hard time measuring dimensions and realised that I don't have much of a choice no thanks to the small space I have. Bought a Techno TEO 2500. I hope it is good!

Bye bye clock

8 Jan 2013 (Tues) - Our clock of 5 years died on us today. Changing batteries did not help revive it. We decided to put it to rest. Kitty wanted to repair the mechanism as he felt throwing all four panels away is very wasteful. I on the other hand, feel that we need a change. Thus at night, I asked Kitty to remove all the panels, screws, fill in the holes with putty. And since he is already doing minor "repair work" to the walls, might as well paint the strip of lavender (known as Evening Tide) wall on the left of the kitchen door to Orchid White so that it blends in with the rest of the LVR.

And also since he already took out the paints, might as well also do minor touch-up for parts on walls that paint has chipped off due to "accidents". I helped too!
















14 Jan 2013 (Mon) - Went to Molecule at Great World City to buy a new clock. $69 and after 15% discount, paid only $58.65. Yay now we have a new clock!
