Our WIW Big Mirror Collapsed!

10 Mar 2025 (Mon) - Our WIW mirror collapsed today! 

We wouldn't have known if Clara had not gone into the room and asked me why I tore down the room mirror. We were shocked when we saw the huge mess.

I quickly went to Pioneer Point to buy anti-cut gloves and thick trash bags while he started clearing up. Haiz, such a big mess but thankfully we managed to get everything cleared and cleaned by 7.30pm. It was tiring clearing up all the glass shards. We filled so many bags of glass pieces! My goodness, I was just standing in front of the mirror this morning and it collapsed 2.5 hours later.  

11 Mar 2025 (Tues) - Aircon uncle Ah Peng came this morning to fix the trunking that had been torn apart. He did not charge us for it. Such a nice uncle!

12 Mar 2025 (Wed) - Mr Kok arranged for his workers to come and help us fix the wall. The top panel mirror was removed, the wall fixed and repainted. I am so thankful for the quick service rendered.

1 Apr 2025 (Tues) - I ordered a new mirror on Shopee over the weekend and it was delivered this morning. Gold frame. 180 x 100cm. Engaged a handyman to come by in the evening to do wall mounting. It's so nice! So happy to have a full-length mirror again!

Aircon Overhaul and Repainting Walls

6 Feb 2025 - This the day we bade our 5-year old LG System 4 goodbye. It's a massive project that includes changing of trunking, piping, insulation, wiring...etc. We tried to cover up our furniture with plastic sheets as much as we could in the morning but the house was still super dusty. I banished myself to one corner of the sofa and binge-watched drama. Clara returned home at 4.30pm and I also banished her to sit on her chair in the LVR. We could not access anywhere else in the house, lol.

I decided to escape to JP again and brought Clara along. We had dinner at Malaysia Boleh and C joined us after school. We got home at 8.30pm but the aircon was not done yet. Haiz, it will have to drag on to tomorrow. Started cleaning up after uncle left. Sooo messy and dirty. I tried cleaning the MBR and gave up. Luckily daddy can clean very well, wahahahhaa! 

7 Feb 2025 - Our aircon installation continued today and was done around 1.30pm. Thankfully it wasn't too dusty, phew! Now we have a System 1 for our MBR (15000 BTU) and a System 3 for the LVR (18000 BTU), study (9000 BTU) and kids' bedroom (9000 BTU). Dyson-ed the house 3 times throughout the day and cleaned some of the furniture that I felt got especially dusty yesterday. Furniture such as the wheels of our 4 study chairs, haha. So happy our new aircon is finally up and running. The final step would be to buy paint and paint parts of the walls that sustained ugly marks in the process.  

9-14 Feb 2025 - Daddy repainted some walls over these few days. 

New Bed Frames for the Kids

10 Oct 2023 - The two sets of Berti Super Single bed frames that I ordered on 9.9 were delivered today, yay! Bought it on Shopee and paid $659.65 each. 

New Ceiling Fan for Kids' Bedroom

9 Sep 2023 - Wow can't believe that I bought a ceiling fan exactly a month ago on 9 Aug and now bought a second one from the same seller to be installed in the kids' bedroom! Got the same model - Fanco Tributo 56" but in white. $223 after applying discount vouchers on Shopee, haha.

As there were holes and ugly marks left behind by the old light, I bought putty and he filled up the holes. Painted the area around it the next afternoon and now it looks nice and clean, yay~

New Ceiling Fan for LVR

9 Aug 2023 - Ordered a new ceiling fan yesterday for our LVR and it was installed today!

This is our new FANCO Tributo 56" ceiling fan. Love the much bigger and brighter 36W light and wood colour! I got it on Shopee for only $230!

Installing Roller Blinds

11 Mar 2020 - Two weeks ago, we decided to remove all our curtains and install roller blinds instead. Sick of having dusty curtains! Today, we have our new roller blinds installed at the LVR and MBR, yay!


The selection of roller blind materials is so much less office-like now!

New LG Aircon System 4

20 Dec 2019 (Fri) - Installed new aircon system today. Manx, it took the entire morning and afternoon! Bade goodbye to our Mitsubishi of 12 years. Hope this change will be the last of all home improvement problems for 2019. Big hole in pocket!
