aneboda done

another tired day. i have just dumped the laundry into the washing machine and now am waiting for the machine to do its job before i can hang the washings.

before that, i had thrown the rubbish in the house outside, threw the dog's unfinished food so as not to attract rats, washed the pots, boiled drinking water and locked the doors.

i hope i did not miss anything. tomorrow, the list is going to be lloooooonger. yup, mom is not here in the house already. she has left for melbourne tonight.

i am not worried about the house chores. it is the food supply that i am worried about. we tried the caterer today and we noticed that the amount of food given was really little. we ordered for 4 persons, but the amount given seemed more suitable for 3. what do we eat for dinner if all the dishes are finished at lunch?? i will have a big headache. i hate cooking. i really do. another alternative would be to go and buy the dishes ourselves in town instead of relying on the caterer. that would be slightly troublesome, but at least i can estimate the amount of food needed myself and it might even be cheaper!

it will be trial and errors these few days. plus, my uncle from germany is here, so i am sure i will perform my duties better. well, i can't embarass myself as part-hostess of the house. and thank god it is the durian season now. worse comes to worst, i will just have durians for my meal and let the others eat whatever dishes there are. i am pathetic huh?

ok the biggest satisfaction today is the assembling of aneboda chest of drawers from ikea. i got some outside help from quin who stopped by on her way back from kl. she helped me with the last few steps. sigh, and i thought with my brother being around, my job would be as easy as pie. he could not care less and was just reading the papers in the living room while i was assembling. hmmh....it was a great 'sauna' session though.

here are the pieces of loose boards and the base of the drawer already fixed at that time.

and ta-da the final masterpiece. it was really not that tough and i had fun doing it. now all the drawers are already full. i just couldn't wait to fill them. the last drawer is filled with all my hello kittys and remaining beanie babies, the second drawer is occupied by my brotbers' clothes and the top drawer is taken by all my bags. kakaka.

there is still work to be done in the storeroom. i still have to tidy things here and there but as of today, i am very satisfied. the room looks much more spacious now.

the next big project will be the kitchen. the cabinet is going to be one hell of a work and what am i going to do with the sewing machine there? yes, you heard me right, we have a sewing machine in the kitchen! whose house has a sewing machine in the kitchen??? uuurrrggghhhh!!!!
