      Another Step Closer - Loose Fitting Installation.. & Permission to Renovate

      At last after many of times pressuring the developer, i've managed to get the joint-loose fittings installation. The delay were caused by slow defect rectifications. Like many new houses, my house are amongst those which need repairs. Lucky us, only minor rectifications needed such as re-painting and re-aligning vinyl floors.

      The 'big' bunch of keys we got on the first day

      Loose Fitting that were given to us


      Why we want to this as soon as possible? The answer is, only after loose fittings installations, we are allowed to do renos.. This is the rule set by our developer. To avoid misunderstandings and finger pointings. Only after knowing that the house is free from defect, we are allowed to proceed with whatever renos we want.

      First renovation will be grilles.

      Simple design.. a standard metal grille with powder coat.....
      Our partial complete grille
      1" x 1" metal bars..
      To be honest, i'm satisfied with the designs.. But still have to wait for the after installations finishing .. crossing fingers..xxx..


      Grille Design

      We got a great deal for whole house grille installation from the grille contractor...

      He was the contractor for my parent's house before.. you can check his workmanships from the pics below..

      My Parent's Wrought Iron Grille

      We choosed this design to maintain the simplicity and modern concept of our house.. O.K ke?

      The metal bars that will be used for our grille..
       
      The 1"x1" and 1"x1/2" steel bar

      I really hope it will turn out nice..

      Visits to Our New House..

      The Actual house after completion..

      Paramount did a great job by completing our phase two month before the expected schedule..


      The photos around our house;

      Top: Entrance view. Bottom Left: View from Master Room. Bottom Right: View In front of house


      Both of us dah start asking for quotations, a lot to be considered;
      1. Grille
      2. Plaster Ceiling
      3. Wiring and Lighting
      4. Kitchen Cabinet
      5. Aircond
      6. Sofa
      7. Wardrobe
      8. Oven, Hob and Hud..

      These are items that we have listed as PRIORITY.. depends on financial and practicality, it might change.

      We are trying our best to move in before Ramadhan, InsyaAllah and celebrate Aidilfitri there..

      Finally, the keys to our new home...

      The Name of my G&G Community

      After a year of waiting, finally today is the day. I'll be going there this afternoon to collect the keys.

      We are so excited to step into our new home. I hope there are no major defects...

      Our Very Own 42" LCD Tv..~!!

      Our Brand New 42" LCD Tv

      After i don't know how many times we went into various electronic stores reviewing many types of LCD, Plasma and LED Tv, finally we got what we want. Alhamdulillah, ini antara hasil-hasil usaha part-time business both of us.

      The store that won our heart and manage to convince all doubts was Harvey Norman, Pavilion. At first there were many brands and model in our list, lucky us, the sales person was very helpful in giving information and we got what we need. Siap bagi 2+3 years warranty lagi..

      Channel 105 on ASTRO

      Obviously 32" Tv was so yesterday. Since size does matter nowadays, 42" seems to be a better choice (tahan dugaan tak payah tukar tv baru lama la skit). The 42" Tv is from Philips. From our many visit to electronic stores, Philips will always be in the top 2 brands recommended by the sales person.

      It is a LCD and not a Plasma. Though many will go with Plasma if to be given a choice. We have our own reason. First and foremost, the basic reason owning a TV is to comfortably watching it and compared to Plasma, there are no/less reflection on LCD. Yes, they might have a slightly clearer image (since Plasma is using analog) but if the reflection keep on bugging you during your movie, it will definitely be very annoying. LCD will catch-up eventually when astro switch to digital (well, it might take 1-2years). We can wait..

      The 42PFL7409/98 LCD Philips Tv is categorized as 'high range model' in terms of specifications in its' kind. We have on our Tv a built-in USB slot that can play videos (including pictures and music of course). Not to forget the 'Natural motion technology' that eliminate juddering effects that are visible with movie based picture content. HD Natural Motion estimates motion in the picture and corrects juddering movements in both broadcast and recorded movie material (such as DVD and Blu-ray Disc). The resulting smooth motion reproduction and excellent sharpness take the viewing experience to a higher level.


      We got what we wanted..and will enjoy it~! 

      It's Party Time!!!!

      Yeahhh.....as I mentioned in my previous entry..yesterday afternoon I had Christmas party at my office..I mean my ex-office...



      *Before the party @ home*


      I went out early to have pre-lunch with my ex-colleagues. We had to wait all the bosses then we could start the party.

      *My ex-company*

      *I'm freeee!!!!!*

      *My ex-colleagues & ex-room*


      *My old table :(..miss u!! sorry not the guy ok..*

      *With my best ever colleagues & friends*


      We started the party around 4.00pm. Everybody was getting really hungry as they didn't take the lunch and have to wait the bosses...pity to u all!!! Can see the food below....


      And the big boss was cutting the TURKEYYYY!!!!!...I didn't eat it as all of us (Muslim) didn't know whether it's 'halal' or not. I just ate some curry puffs, peanuts, cakes and fruits. Lucky I've already take my HL shake before went out...


      After that, everybody was talking and eating and taking photos. After a while, they started drinking 'wine' and I went out of the pantry and went to the support room....


      *We were gurldixing the pose, posing with the big boss!!!*


      Around 6.00pm, party's over for me and i'm back home as at 6.30pm I wanna watch my favvy story>>>>SPA Q 2.
      As of today, I did nothing cos I'm super duper lazy..hahaha...aku tak tau kenape!!!!!!! Actually have to clean the house, still haven't finished yet...I'm trying really hard to clean bit by bit...:D
      Ok...have to work hard for it!!!!
