home sweet home

my new Khatib home is undergoing high-gear in renovation.

It has been a rather hectic 2 weeks... after work & weekends it's go around and see furnishings time... discussions over the phone... choosing wall paper...choosing bed, lights, tables, sofa, tv, fridge, ...... Overcoming frustrations & thinking of solutions when what you planned is not feasible...

Last Sat we brought Ken & Qin along with us for furniture shopping. We really hope they weren't bored ..following us around... Actually I don't think they weren't. They seemed like they were enjoying themselves & projecting into the future... Kenneth had this "Hmm... in deep thoughts" look all the time.... And I kept hearing Qin say "Next time... next time..." Hope you had fun! We bought our dining table & carpet that day! Thank you Kenneth for "geng"-ing the carpet to Bruce's car. This is what you call a friend in need a friend indeed. He's supposedly trained to carry heavy, log stuff ... so that was chicken-feet for him.. haha... when you need help next time, you know who to find.

There are reno works going on every other day.. Thank God for Bruce's flexibility with time when it comes to work...Poor dear has been making daily trips home to oversee the works. We try to visit the house everyday to see how things are... it's highly satisfying to see our new homey getting into form day by day. Wanted to post pictures of it's progress on my blog actually... then again... i would rather you have a pleasant surprise when you drop by our home sweet home in the future!

Looking forward to the day that it's fully done up! Hmm... i can already see Bruce and myself sitting in the sofa.. looking around the house... and going "Hmm... this is the house we've build". =) I guess that's the fun part when you buy and do up your own house together... every part of the house has a part of the 2 of you in it... it's in the furniture, the tiles, the walls.... even the sink & tap!

Love is everywhere! Maybe that's why people coined the phrase love-nest.
