A sad visit

I visited a friend in hospital today. She just delivered a baby but the baby had no chance to see the beautiful world. When I heard the news I felt shock. I don't know what to say to console her and I was totally speechless. What can you say to the person?

Before I visit her, I thought she will look stunned, not talking, crying and stuff. But to my surprise, she smiled at me, talked to me, and even describe to me how her baby looked like and what actually happened. I feel so touched and amazed. She is such a strong girl and have accepted the fact so quickly. I guess family support is important. She has a loving husband, and wonderful family members.

May God bless R, and I hope she will recover quickly, for the body and soul.

油 漆 未 干

We painted our apartment this weekend. Well, we managed to paint the masterbed room and one wall in the living room only but I think it's a good start. (Seriously, how many weekend we need to finish the painting??)

By the way, we are doing the painting ourself. When we got married, my FIL painted his own house. So this time, he offered to paint for us and I have always been wanting to do some painting myself (just for fun) so we agreed to it.

It's fun. I like it. But it's tiring. FIL seems to be having unexhausted energy. He never complained that he is tired and wants to leave. He can stay there to paint till don't know what time if not MIL rush us to go home. I got backpain, hand pain, leg pain. Gosh ...

But I am happy and proud coz I painted my own room ^_^ (well, at least part of it .. kakakaka)

And here's some photos of our plaster ceiling:

不听老人言,吃亏在眼前

I went to inspect the house progress yesterday. I noticed the paint on the masterbedroom door frame has fallen off and it's obvious. So I called the plaster ceiling contractor and ask if he will fix it for me. He is the only contractor doing work currently. In the past 2 weeks, there were contractors for air cond and electric point also. But they finished their work early last week.

If the paint has been gone since last week we would have noticed it coz it's at the entrance and it's such a long deep scratch. So I am pretty sure it's an accident by the PC contractors. Then they also made drawings on my wall all over the house on how the PC should look like. And scratch the wall, left plaster ceiling material on the wall. So it's a must to repaint the wall now.

Anywayz, when I call and ask the PC contractor, he said no he is not going to repaint the wall and clean it for us because if you do PC then memang the wall will be dirty and scratched and stuff. Then I said oh I wasn't aware of that so okay. But the door frame you have to repaint for me. Then he said "How can you prove it's done by my people? You got evidence meh?"

I got so frustrated. But this is exactly what WCB told me when we decided to have different contractors to do different stuff. He said if you engage 1 main contractor then he will settle everything for you. Otherwise if anything gone wrong, no one will admit they are the culprit for the issue. And WCB said the person will surely answer you "How can you prove? You got evidence or not?" BINGO! Exactly what the contractor say now ..

But it's okay. We will repaint the wall, and also repaint the door. I always hate the door so it's good that I can at least change it's color. Yeah!
