Good day folks. I have been busy,packed with assignments at the moment; or else I would have been able to find the time to write. There’s this thing which I’ve picked up recently,wouldn’t call it a skill because it is highly achievable wtf; I kinda got a hang of imposing some form of self-discipline to fully focus on work. Trust me, I was equally amused when I happily shut down all the windows of distraction.

First things first,I’d like to congratulate my brother Wen Zhi for scoring a string of straight 11A’s for his SPM. You’ve done all of us proud,for whats worth; you’re growing up into an amazing fine young man! You know your sister loves you very much rightttttt

The man of the night wtf, dinner at Pizza Uno.

The Keeper who now reads my blog! YES HE DOES NOW,OH EM GEE.

Proud Mum & Dad.

I hereby declare, I am a proud sister!

Thursday was a really tiring day, having an early 8am class; met up with the Keeper for a Spicy Pan Mee lunch & he drove me to the National Library! I don’t know if this ever occurs to you,but a huge library gives me goosebumps at times; walking along the aisle imagining how old those masterpieces are. We both enjoyed our first experience at our very own run down National Library,and caught a movie after! Anyway,as you’ve been reading about the Keeper‘s room make-over and I can’t seem to find the slot to get it up; here you go.

Here’s the story.

It started off with me wanting to get a notice board from IKEA, which lead to the crazy idea of giving the Keeper‘s room a total makeover in two days. A room is any distinguishable space within a structure, a personal space where you spend most of your time in; and most importantly that sense of belonging. Due to the size constraint of the room, (moved from another room) the challenge was to get everything he had in mind to fit within that given space.

The obvious answer was to find a new bed,preferably like the one I bought to further maximize the area. The only thing he highlighted was to have a spot for his desktop and I needed a workspace for myself. So the challenge was the time frame & budget allocated! That makes things a whole lot more interesting right?

A new floor lamp,I ran around IKEA all by myself on the second day snapping photos of the items then MMS-ing it over to the Keeper at work to choose. I am thankful for one thing though, I’m pretty decisive with things like this. If I wasn’t, my three hours at IKEA would have been extended to eight hours wtf.

The bed was bought on the first day with the help of Karlson, loved the light-weight structure. Had it delivered to his place in the afternoon,but I bravely disassembled his previous bed; and rushed to give the Keeper his surprise because he had no idea how it’d turn out to be. The look on his face when everything was put together was priceless, perhaps a tear in the eye or two?

All that the Keeper said to me was, I trust your taste because you’re an architect to be and you know me. I obviously had fun doing up the room,because I knew how long he’s been longing for a proper comfortable space of his own. Now whenever we enter the room,its like this little love nest wtf. Then he said;

Just imagine when we furnish our new home!

Us.

Instead of painting the walls,I bought a black rug and hung it against the bed’s bottom horizontal frame to give the sense of intimacy. Bought a long horizontal mirror which was placed at eye level so that can look at ourselves all the time wtf; it was at my eye level though.

My workstation!

Do-It-Yourself !

Hope you loved this as much as I did. There are many things in life which are self-thought, some through the easy way and some through the hard way. There are no shortcuts to success,but its often the values that you carry with you that gets you through all the way. Always remember that you are the writer of your own script of life. Don’t let others dictate how you’d be or could have been because in the very end; you’re gonna be dealing with the consequences.

Live is worth living to its fullest,even if isn’t full; be as happy as you can with it.
To end this post, let me tell you something funny okay,well its funny to me!

The Keeper had futsal last night,grabbed dinner with me and oh my god he smelled so awful wtf you know the very disgusting sweat smell. Poor boy forgot to bring an extra T-shirt. So,as we were leaving the dinner place; he said that I’m so gonna get it when we get back to the car because he’s gonna give me the tightest hug and transfer all the bad odor over!

I managed to stay as far away as possible, the windows were down and I was literally gasping for fresh air! The funny thing was how miserable I looked taking very deep breathes and him blasting the air con moving his hands to annoy me! Thats it for now,have a great weekend.
