House Cleaning, Part One
Sincere thanks to Hui Zhen, Ferren, Yan Po, Wen Xi, Chrispin and Sheng Xuan for helping clean the house. Every little bit counts!
Unfortunately, I left my DSLR in the new house. I will get some photos and post them up tomorrow.
Meanwhile, here’s what we accomplished today (Saturday).
- Cleaned up the store room and moved the mess in the kitchen over.
- Cleaned up all three bedrooms, kitchen, windows and grilles. Thanks ladies! Fantastic job.
- Built the Ikea furnitures – a study table, two office chairs and a side table with drawers. Some instructions are wrong, especially the cheaper furnitures.
- Installed the almighty lock that only requires one key for all! Whoopee. How I wish my car key could be used instead.
- Set up the bed in the master bedroom.
- Carpenter dropped by to inspect the work done on Friday.
Here’s the agenda for tomorrow (Sunday).
- Pass ah fen a hamster.
- Grab the side table we ordered from Defu.
- Pay the balance for the sofa and dining table and arrange for them to be delivered next week.
- Grab the trolley, TV and sub woofers from parent’s office. I left my new TV there for storage.
- Bak Kut Teh at Jurong East for lunch at 1300 hrs.
- Clean the living room, and maybe three bedrooms if they get dusty again.
- Figure out where to mount the bathroom accessories, and what else we need to buy.
- Assemble the Ikea lamps.
- Set up the home router. It’s going to a Linux box with Vyatta, then I can establish an IPsec Site-to-site VPN! Whoopee!
- Hopefully a karanguni drops by so I can get rid of the old ceiling fans.
I’m still thinking if I should start moving some old books and computer equipment. Maybe my R/C stuffs can go over too.
The audio system will go over next week before the weekend, that’s for sure!
More shopping list for next week.
- A stool, just to facilitate cleaning some stuff that’s higher than us.
- A (cheap) bicycle? Just to get to and fro the in-law’s place and Bukit Panjang Plaza.
- A mini TV console for the master bedroom?
- Another Ikea side table for the master bedroom?
