Exciting Moment

This is what total excitement means to me....After a long awaiting 2.5 months, finally this is it !!

At this point of time, I won't said everything is 100% perfection, but at least it's not too far from our expectation.

Overall speaking, I think we have made more right decisions than wrong decisions.

There are too many details involved before things turn out the way it is now...

As the construction part is generally good, we pray the furniture part won't fail us.

Our bedroom...

Kid's room...

The main doorway...

Husband's choice...Although this electronic lock system is more expensive than the traditional one, he thinks it's worth it, cause he doesn't need to carry key with him anymore.

The shoes cabinet...

The kitchen...yet to be completed.

Tomorrow is going to be another exciting day, cause we will get to see the furniture in real apart from the drawings. I keep my fingers crossed....

Just can't wait to move in !

311 Catastrophe

Every now and then, the world just won't remain as peaceful as I wish it to be...

I do feel sad to see other people's pain and suffering, but I will normally back to my usual self fast. Yet this 9.0 magnitude earthquake, followed by tsunami, followed by nuclear leak, is too much for me to let it go easily, especially when I have colleague, friend and customer whom I care, living near the affected area.

My colleague who has stationed in Tokyo for more than 5 years, refused to go back HK even though HK government had badly urge all of the residents to return home immediately. He said he just can't leave his girl friend and her family behind. I'm so moved with his "you-jump-I-jump" heroic decision, and I'm proud of him too. There is not much I can do except to provide him as many latest information as possible from here, and pray for his safety.

Anyway, life goes on. I received some emails from some customers, inquiring about the material's supply-chain situation from Japan. I understand those customer's worries, but really, people are having their biggest turmoil in life, is this the right time to ask them this difficult question and seek for immediate answer? Come on, be considerate, I think that's the least we should do.

As the radiation leak crisis seems to get worst from worse, people from China and HK started panic-buying salt in very bulk quantity on yesterday. There is rumor saying that iodine content in salt can protect one from radiation. Little do they know that they need to consume 2.5-5 kg salt to accumulate the iodine content which is equivalent to 1 iodine tablet. If they really do this, their kidney will most probably damaged and collapsed by then .

Tonight, I just want to pray for WORLD PEACE .*

Construction Stopped (before CNY)

The day before we fly back to Malaysia for CNY holiday, we went to check the house again...

The construction work had been stopped by then, would resume work after the 8th day of CNY.

The windows for the whole house were ready, just waited for the scaffolding to be set up to get them fixed.

The tiles were all ready too.

The main switched box was done.

To me, I saw debris everywhere. To sons, they saw things to play with everywhere.

I would like to bring the boys to the construction site more often, so that they will remember the house as a whole, right from the beginning to its completion.
