9th - 11th Sep 2007 - Never been so hardworking in my life before~ Hb and I spent about 3 days cleaning up our place and now its spick and span, yay!
While people are relaxing at home or going out during National Day, Hb and I spent the whole morning and afternoon cleaning up our house. Bought one of those brooms that people use to swipe water, lol. Oh, and karpo some of Mdm Yik's Amway multi-purpose cleaner, very effective at cleaning anything!
We started off with me vacuuming the place with my aunt's old Bomba (that's the name of her vacuum cleaner, lol) and Hb cleaning all the windows. Then I mopped the whole place a few times while he cleaned all the internal shelvings of the WIW, kitchen cabinets, shoe cabinets and oh, both toilets, haha~!
The above pic shows the still messy state of our corner. Our bathroom mirrors finally came in on Wed and were mounted on Friday~!
All thanks to the toilet manager for cleaning up the toilets so nicely~!
The guest room and MBR respectively. Spotlessly clean after a few rounds of vacuuming and mopping by yours truly~! See the shine on the floor? We even cleaned the feature walls~!
Our furniture came in on Friday, and you'll be surprised the guys actually came 1 hour early except for Courts... they were late by 30 mins, lol. Our sofa set from OM came in first, followed by our dining chairs from BHG and boy, I'm so glad we decided to change it to this instead of the original heavy ones! Kinda excited and went around taking videos of the process, I bet the delivery men must be thinking I am crazy or something~! Cellini came after that and brought in our bed, coffee table and complimentary table lamp and 2 fibre pillows. Biang, we didn't expect the bed to be so big... it took up so much space that there was no room to walk between our MBR Tv feature wall and the foot of the bed frame! Haiz, we gonna get Ah Hua (our carpenter) to chop off the portruding part of the Tv feature wall to make room for walking across. Looks like it can only be done in a few days time. Sianz... the room will be messy again with all the dust...
Enjoying the rest of my lunch while waiting for Cellini to finish unpacking the bed frame outside, haha~
Our king size bed from Cellini~
Our coffee table and sofa~
Our dining chairs from BHG and dining table from Mondi~
Courts finally delivered our plasma TV and after that the Panasonic guy came to install it for us. Was kinda afraid that our TV feature wall tiles would crack in the process as we have been told that would happen cos of the drilling. I told the guy beforehand over the phone about this problem and he said he would see what he can do. Guess what? The tiles didn't crack!!! In fact, they did a wonderful job with the drilling by adding water on the tiles first (dunno what's that for) before drilling the holes to contain the Tv bracket and the workmanship was good - no cracks at all!!! Superb~!
The guys from Panasonic hard at work. Will post up pics of the completed job soon!
Our Toshiba washing machine, Mitsubishi fridge and Philips vacuum cleaner came in on Saturday evening~! The delivery guy from Kong Tai tested the washing machine for us and there we were, 2 idiots standing there wondering why nothing happened until the guy told us there was no sound cos its an inverter unit and true enough, I looked down and saw that the machine had indeed started on its washing process! When they brought in the fridge, I wondered out loud how come the design looked nicer than the one we had ordered, then the guy told us that there was no more stock and they are replacing it with the new model (same capacity) at no extra cost! Wahahahaha so happy! Will post pics of these items up soon!
I love my new Philips vacuum cleaner - FC 9150. Really very good suction power! The old Bomba died and revived several times during the cleaning process and it was kinda annoying. I'm so glad the new one came in just in time!
Now we are left with our easy chair from Barang Barang not delivered.... no more stock until 29th Sep!!! Liew.
Personally, although this whole cleaning thing is super tiring, I got to admit that it is actually kinda fun in a way and we really feel a sense of satisfaction after all the hard work and seeing our house spick and span. A small crisis happened though - I accidentally flooded the living room while cleaning the balcony! Biang... there I was, happily pouring pails of water to wash off the detergent and the stupid water went through the bottom of the glass doors and got onto the laminate flooring as well as the living room! Hb and I rushed like hell to clean up the water on the laminate flooring as we were afraid it might be damaged. After we cleared the mess on that area, we focused on cleaning up the mess in the living room. We had 2 mops. Hb stationed at the toilet while I mopped up the water and ran to the toilet to pass him Mop 1 to rinse off and took the nicely rinsed Mop 2 to clean up more mess, then took the wet Mop 2 back to the toilet for Hb to clean while he passed me the cleaned and rinsed Mop 1 and the process repeated, haha. Was kinda frantic during those moments and fed up too, especially when I was yelling at him to bring more pails of water to the balcony and he couldn't hear me cos he was in the toilet refilling the pails and the door was closed! Ok, so now we realise that glass is sound proof. Liew. Took more than 30 mins to clean up the mess and boy, it was so tiring! After that whole thing, we finally had time to take the grapes out of the fridge and slumped on the sofa watching Tv while munching, lol.
