Finally and finally the house is done. Not 100% done, but atleast is in a condition that we can live in. I like my house because it bring wealth to the people around when we first selected the house and also when we took the keys. To chinese like us it a good sign, but im just happy that people around get a little fortune out of my house.


After moving in for about 2 months, my wife presented to me a gift. A new life! A new family member! Yes, i know, i play apart in this new life, but was not to expected to have him/her sooooo soon. Yes, of coz im overjoyed! that is y till now, after 1 month of knowing the news, and settle down, thou i still smile to myself from time to time, im now able to come back to my blog.

Actually, i think i was the first to know that my wife was pregnant. i had a dream one night. In the dream i was carrying a baby, i assume it's a boy as the baby have no hair, (but most baby have not much hair to began with. In the dream there was also 3 other person, both my in laws and my wife.

I must be carrying the baby in a weird or dangerous way, as i saw my in law faces were like they seen something horrible. i remember change from carry to holding the baby hands straight up and make him walk, that was when the in law faces changes. There faces give me the, "what the  hell is he doing to the baby!!" At this time, mummy was busy shopping as usual. the next thing i know i woke up. I told the story to my wife and i told her that i think she is pregnant, then she just "hahaha" and went to bath. As it was not the time of the month yet so she didnt care much about it, and think i was trying to be funny.

My wife went for a short business trip and came home telling me that she miss her, (u know lah), so i told her i knew my dream was truth, which was verified and confirm with a test kit, which is not cheap thou!

This took place like 1 and half months ago, but im still very happy and high.

It's not easy to example this excitement and happiness in words, especially when im not good in language. it like drinking lots of coffee plus lots of sugar, u cant sleep, u keep smiling, u cant do yr work, u start thinking what yr next Gen will look like, how he or she will behave, boy or girl. I still find myself suddenly "stone" and smile to myself, some people caught me doing it, but i cant of dun care.

i lost quite abit of sleep after receiving the news, in fact, quite a few weeks of sleep. I find the whole pregnant thing very amazing! Im not a science student, nor someone interested in how human came about, but im amaze by how a baby is form! i something stop to wonder that this can only be done with the help of God. For someone who have not been to church (a place where i found my wife), for quite sometime, i am truly amaze by what God can do. Truly thankful for the chance to be a father! How to make liquid turn into something so solid? and we are not talking about ICE! Anyway, to deep for me to understand.......now i can only protect the "factory" and our "product"......! 

This blog is not to share how happy im but to share how much i like to thank my wife for willing to have our child. I know it not easy, not that i have gone thru it, but what i can see! My wife stop eating meat, which is not normal, (please dont become vegetarian) im bit prepared for that change! the physical change, the also tired look, the :P""  (vomit) almost everyday (whole day). Sure dont look easy to me.....Salute to my wife! ........Its a new day, its a new life......and im feeling Goooood!!!

10 Weeks Feels like Forever!

It's been a long while, been so so busy with packing, studying working and the Reno works......now let's back track the works that have been done.

 We visit the house when ever our ID inform us that new things are up, so are able to take some progress photos. It seems every slow when you are very eager to see the end product, and it sure feels like forever. Somehow we just feel like "y cant everything just be fix at one go!?", hahaha, then we can move in within 2 weeks. But maybe if they can do it in 2 weeks i might expect them to finish in 2 days. 

Thou we come out with the concept we wanted, but the ID was there to make sure we dont go overboard with our "weird" design or thinking. Somehow, our parents are always thinking that we will doing something silly and weird......my father would think that im going to paint the wall black, and make the place like a cave. Or my In-laws will think that we will buy cheapo dining table that can only sit 2-4 pax and it will wobble.

Sometimes i would think are we really that weird? or issit just that all parents would think their children are alway doing something silly.......maybe it's just our track record......hahaha

I wanted to have a purple wall in the master room, but i think it does not really feel right for my wife. im also fine with pink.....but i think im pushing my luck too far.....wahaha





When we start see these things we know we are see the ending soon! yapee! Glass door up, wardrobe and cabinet start coming in, hopefully there are enough storage space in the house. 






To be continue..........

It's been a long time since we shop like crazy people, from 10am till 12 midnight. We did not plan too much for this trip to Bangkok, so we got lost a few times, but my wife was patience and was there to keep me calm.

Let It Begin! - Hacking!

Long time no update, as we are busy-ing finalising our design, our wants and don't wants for our house. Building our house is really, lots of thinking for the future, predicting how to maintain, emotion, negotiation for better deals, choices for everything, time taken, places to go, things to see.....etc.

Kitchen Window remove

Bi-fold Door remove

Basin Remove



"Public Toilet" - Remove

Wall hacking completed

Master Toilet Sink Remove



































































All things that needs to be remove have been removed, Walls that need to hack have been hacked.

Finally, renovation have started. This process is really long. Somehow, when the reno have not started, we would wish for it to start "NOW", but when it start, we would wish it finish "Now"......cant wait to move in. Life is a journey, so is building our dream house. Choosing everything from taps, tiles, door, lock, colour, wall paper, lamp, table, chair......etc, we did it together. But the good thing is we have the same thinking and liking.

Thanks my wife for all the patience, as she can have the stamina to finish choosing the right items for our house. Let's Go Reno!!
