Dream home - Part 10

Hi again...

Another update on the project mentioned above. Many changes done so far. Some of the areas done successfully. Giving and sharing ideas and informations with the contractors and then combine them into one make it a very good outcomes. Designing tiles arrangement and drop down ceilings in the kitchen was a success.

Still plastering outside of the house. A long way to go.

Rasa-rasa nya sempat tak raya tahun ni????? Time still clicking.......time will tell though

This photo was at the back of the house. Almost finish. Looks stable after a long hard work....good job

A finish touch of the kitchen drop down ceiling. Nice isn't it? The carpenter has to think on how to make this happen. Combining ideas between the contractor and the owner provide this awesome finishing touch an excellent job that can be proud of. Job well done.

Similar goes to this....lot of ideas make this bathroom looks stunning. Hope don't sleep in the bathroom....heheehehehe...

Another photo of the other bathroom's wall. Score A+ for this design.

Not sure if we agree to have shower compartment....still thinking. The other two bathrooms and one living room toilet still in progress at the moment. Each bathroom will have different design. I will upload the photos of the finished projects.

Waie & Arif with Upin & Ipin

A three days exhibition show held early June this year. There's also the famous Malaysian cartoon character i.e. Upin and Ipin during that time at the show. Took a photo with the kids...sayang ehhh only one photo. I wonder where is Ipin's brother, Upin.

Hmmmm....is this Upin or Ipin??? Ohhhh...the shirt itself tells him that he's Ipin.

Dream home - Part 9

This photos were taken to be updated in the blog. A slight progression from time to time due to not enough men as well as raining last month.

Double stacks of rocks in thick wire mesh. Marking so as to line up straight

Plastering the windows in progress

This is the design so far. Still far to go. Purchased the tiles outside Brunei, just to taste a different environment.

Dream home - Part 8

Latest update after a long time missing in action....hehehehe.....

This was I think one month ago. The staircase ceiling showing 4 small square drop down ceiling design. This is to make it nicer rather than no design at all.

Dream home - Part 7

Hi again. Unable to update my blog due to busy month. But here it is. Plastering or cementing the the house almost done. Not all actually but boleh lah. Approximately 70% done. The contractors are now levelling the floors since it was a bit rough and uneven. Putting tiles when it's level will be very easy for them. Brilliant ideas.

One of the contractors is attaching a cement plank for the window

Gypsum board already attached to the ceiling. It's time for me to start looking for cornice.

Below: lots of rocks placed in the wire basket to prevent water eroding the sand. Still in progress. This also has cost a lot of money.

Car Show in Miri

We went to Miri on 18th March 2011, stay overnight at Miri Plaza Hotel. As usual, looking for new items for the new house. Bought ceiling fans with remote for living room, and 3 new bed covers. Spent around RM$1000. Funny.....actually we're looking for lightings but ended up with buying different things.

Check out from hotel at 10.20am, to go to other shop and zoom back to Brunei. On the way back, went to E-mart (quite a big supermarket in Miri). While searching for parking, noticed lots of cars with sticker designs and boom..boom, the car audio sound too. Lucky, got one car park. We make a quick round on what's going on. Car shows such as new car, car audio and many others . There's a stage at the right hand corner, and a live band starts kicking in. Looks like 'May group' a rock legend performing on the stage....sorry no picture on the live band

Old school car..classic isn't it. Still functioning

Another old school car displayed

Fully loaded subwoofers, I think it's a Cougar brand...very famous in Malaysia

Won so many prizes on sound system...not sure on how they're being judged. According to IASCA, based on db sound and style

Wandering how they drive this car without rear view mirror.. Guessing that side view mirror will do

bling...bling....nice big rim

No way that this car will be on the road

Lizards

While visiting the new house, noticed so many wild lizards climbing the mango tree. Others were seen on the gate and wooden planks. It ran away if I got close to them. So, manage to get some photos of the lizards from far away. Unfortunately, I have no DSLR with me at that time so I snap shot them with my iphone.

Sorry...not a very clear picture

Crawling on wooden planks
