  • House Cleaning, Part One

    Sincere thanks to Hui Zhen, Ferren, Yan Po, Wen Xi, Chrispin and Sheng Xuan for helping clean the house. Every little bit counts!

    Unfortunately, I left my DSLR in the new house. I will get some photos and post them up tomorrow.

    Meanwhile, here’s what we accomplished today (Saturday).

    • Cleaned up the store room and moved the mess in the kitchen over.
    • Cleaned up all three bedrooms, kitchen, windows and grilles. Thanks ladies! Fantastic job.
    • Built the Ikea furnitures – a study table, two office chairs and a side table with drawers. Some instructions are wrong, especially the cheaper furnitures.
    • Installed the almighty lock that only requires one key for all! Whoopee. How I wish my car key could be used instead.
    • Set up the bed in the master bedroom.
    • Carpenter dropped by to inspect the work done on Friday.

    Here’s the agenda for tomorrow (Sunday).

    • Pass ah fen a hamster. 🙂
    • Grab the side table we ordered from Defu.
    • Pay the balance for the sofa and dining table and arrange for them to be delivered next week.
    • Grab the trolley, TV and sub woofers from parent’s office. I left my new TV there for storage.
    • Bak Kut Teh at Jurong East for lunch at 1300 hrs.
    • Clean the living room, and maybe three bedrooms if they get dusty again.
    • Figure out where to mount the bathroom accessories, and what else we need to buy.
    • Assemble the Ikea lamps.
    • Set up the home router. It’s going to a Linux box with Vyatta, then I can establish an IPsec Site-to-site VPN! Whoopee!
    • Hopefully a karanguni drops by so I can get rid of the old ceiling fans.

    I’m still thinking if I should start moving some old books and computer equipment. Maybe my R/C stuffs can go over too.

    The audio system will go over next week before the weekend, that’s for sure!

    More shopping list for next week.

    • A stool, just to facilitate cleaning some stuff that’s higher than us.
    • A (cheap) bicycle? Just to get to and fro the in-law’s place and Bukit Panjang Plaza.
    • A mini TV console for the master bedroom?
    • Another Ikea side table for the master bedroom?
