Stirling HDB Terrace - #258 Plant Markers

Nifty products for gardening!
Bought these pretty plant markers from Daiso, $2 for 3 sticks. Or i suppose you can always make them yourselves too if you have the time. Now i can put their scientific names to them

Stirling HDB Terrace - #257 Vanity Cupboard

WEEKEND UPDATES
2nd last piece of carpentry works to be done for our home - vanity cupboards at the master toilet area.

Think the whole thing took pretty quick to be done up, wasn't there personally to supervise the works cos when we got back to our HDB, we realised that there were some dust and paint shavings on the floor, so we knew that someone has been in the flat to do some works.

And so we looked around, and saw that this newly erected work on the wall.

So now it's leaving the mirror pieces to be stuck on before i can see my pretty reflection!

~hee hee~

Stirling HDB Terrace - #256 Life before the SpinMop

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog...

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log....

Stirling HDB Terrace - #255 DRILLING!

KITCHEN WORK
After some spinning mop! It's time for some noisy drilling!!!
Hubs sure enjoyed his drilling fun since it's the first time for him. *zoom zoom* I think he feels like a very capable handyman, climbing up and down on our IKEA 2 step stool, a big drill in his hands, looking all very busy and important. Yup.

Yes...I need you to drill 2 holes in the wall to put my curtain up. Yes yes, without you, I'm really lost.
Hmm, have you ever since a male bird fluffing up his chest feathers, trying to look big+fluffy and important. I think it appears to hubs chest now!

Look at the tools he has spread on the floors. Messy! Oh wells, as long as he gets the curtain up, cleans and tidy up his tools, have a good time doing all the manly work. YAY for me!

Stirling HDB Terrace - #253 Bedframe

FRAMING OUR ROOM
here's another shot of our bed frame. Though it's nothing much but we still love it. And plus it's made from raw teak without any finish gives it an au naturel look!

Teak is also a very hardy wood thus you needn't fear about termite problems.
Also it will last for a really long time if you take care of it.

Finally it's the simplicity of the design that we fell in love with it and bought it immediately. Now it's just moving our mattress over and to dress our new bed frame with sheets, pillows and fluffy quilts to make the whole bedroom complete.

Stirling HDB Terrace - #250 Kartell Ghost chairs

Hi! it's us again and here is a series of us with our huge kartell carton box before we sent it for recycling. sob sob. Yes we are throwing it away. Or rather to put it in a better way, we are sending it to a greener reincarnation. whatever. reuse.recycle and reduce.

and as it is most likely that we wouldn't be buying anymore such big items from Kartell... here's our way of saying goodbye.

thanks for keeping our chairs from dust. hope the garang guni takes good care of you.

Stirling HDB Terrace - #240 Herbie

ONE MONTH of babysitting my herbies
here's my horrible experience..only the mint plant survived.


Anyway, mum told me not to buy anymore plants before i officially shift in. She said that since i do not stay there often, it's very likely that i have no time to care for them too...well she's right. So i shall stay clear of plants for a while now...


Care for mint
Lots of sunlight + water (and pruning in my case!) Still surviving!!!!

Care for Rosemary
Rosemary should be grown in full sun according to online sources.(for my case, i think it works better in a sheltered area with sunlight like on a window sill or a balcony). When i put it in my yard, open to sky without shelter, it started to dry up even though i water it once a day. And I thought perhaps I over-watered it. Eventually I think it wasn't over-watered but too heated up from our singapore sunny and hot weather! It dead eventually. SOBSOB.

Care for Thyme
This one is a weirdo. I think it doesn't require full sunlight at all and do not over-water it. Let the soil dry before you water it again. It prefers well drained soil. And don't let it dry too long without water too! It's damn difficult.
Verdict: dead.dried.withered.
COD: heat (think CSI and you will know what COD stands for!)

WHOA. comfy.

Stirling HDB Terrace - #238 Zanotta Alfa Sofa

As we have asked the furniture store to hold on the delivery for almost half a year, they called up one day and said that they cannot hold it for us any longer. At that time, our place was really so not ready but not everything goes smoothly. So they delivered the sofa but couldn't fix it up for us as our place is too messy. So now, we have to do it on our own. Fortunately, it's pretty easy with 2 men in the house, and in no time, our sofa was up standing on its own 2 feet!


first we got to turn the sofa on its belly, screw on both its feet, one on the left and one on the right.


use of alan key to screw it on tightly, you don't want to plonk yourself comfortable and soon it goes a-poot right?


Now we need to align the sofa to face the tv console and guess who is the first to sit on our sofa??? Ritey it's spongebob kitty!
