Tersenyum

Okay...okay bila dah luahkan semua yang tidak berkenan di hati, marilah ceriakan diri dengan kata2 yang mencuit hati di hari Rabu. Bukan pujian yang dipinta, tapi sebagai pengubat hati yang kecewa, motivasi diri dan sedar akan potensi diri juga...Yang kureng di mata kita, mungkin lebih di mata orang lain. Cuba tengok bagaimana orang bisnes yang non muslim buat customer tersenyum happy (not that happy lah) dan bersyukur dengan apa yang dia dapat.

"Wah!!! You pandai pilih colour. Nanti nak minta you bagi suggestion lah"

"Oklah design ni...nanti I nak tiru sikitlah"

Padahal dia tak tahu, betapa pada hari jumaat tu I sakit kepala dan jadi tak tentu arah hanya kerana nak pilih warna cat rumah dan gate. Dia tak tahu yang I meronda2 di kawasan perumahan berdekatan untuk melihat warna yang berkenan di hati. Dia tak tahu betapa I agak kecewa pada hati Isnin apabila melihat warna cat sebenar tidak seperti yang digambarkan di dalam katalog. Dia tak tahu betapa I sibuk beberapa minggu sebelum ini surfing the internet searching for gate design. Dia tahu yang I tak cukup budget untuk buat design gate idaman hati. Jadi perlulah tukar material dan design yang mengikut budget dan menepati keperluan.

Perlu ditelan juga.

Case 1
Pagi semalam I dapat salinan surat kelulusan. Tapi I pelik macam mana orang lain boleh tandatangan borang yang sepatutnya I tandatangan. Yang I bengang dan tidak puashati ....
1. apa2 yang berlaku kelak I yg perlu bertanggungjawab kerana itu memang tugas I. Bukan tugas orang yang pandai2 turunkan tandatangan.
2. Does not matter whether I was not around or that is really urgent matter... someone cannot just simply sign the form.
3. Why that someone easily believe what other people say about me? If it really important, people can contact me by email or phone or just leave a notice.
4.When that someone assumed that I do not mind. Seriously???
5. Whatever it is that someone should contact and inform me before doing anything that involve me.

I learnt my lesson and hope that someone learnt her lesson too. The most important thing was that someone got the courtesy to apologise. I felt a bit relief too once I express my dissatisfaction to her.

Case 2
A bit irritated when someone came to my house and asked why I did not make certain design to the fence wall.

Bebelan rahsia hahhaha

Teknik Penyapu

Bukan teknik menyapu lantai ya ;)))))).
Itu kalau tak tahu, memang nak kena babab hehehe.
Ini teknik penyapu hahaha.....
untuk apa?????
Untuk kemasan lantai la.

Yes!!! Broom finishing for concrete floor as slip resistant.

Mula2 macam biasa ratakan bancuhan simen dan pasir....

Then taburkan serbuk simen kering atas bancuhan rata tadi. Renjis air dan ratakan serbuk tersebut sehingga licin. Ulang 2 hingga 3 kali proses menabur simen, merenjis air dan meratakan/melicinkan.

Akhirnya, silalah menyapu di atas concrete itu. Gunakan penyapu begini hehehe..plastic bristles.

I memang gelak besar bila contractor kata kena guna penyapu. Rupa2nya memang teknik ni memang dah lama dan di luar negara pun memang guna penyapu juga. I je yang tak tahu. Bersungguh I tengok, nanti balik kampung boleh buat. Si Indo tukang cat tu gelakkan I, katanya dia lelaki pun tak reti buat. Yang tukang buat lantai tu katanya dah biasa buat rumah/bangunan di Taiwan. So what??? Pls do not look down on people just because they are woman. Whatever lah kalau contractor tu ada pengalaman buat rumah di Singapore ka, Japan ke, Europe ke....ingat orang biasa macam I tak boleh buat ke????? Rasa semua orang boleh buatlah. Either cantik tak cantik,  Kemas tak kemas, or kukuh tak kukuh la...;))))))).

Expect the Unexpected....

Be prepared for any unexpected thing.
Do not expect that everything should be perfect.
So when thing happened not as what we want it to be, we won't feel too disappointed.
When there is nothing else that can be done....
Accept it and move on ...

The progress

On 4th March

On 6th March

On Thursday 12 March .....

On Friday to Saturday

From sketch...

To reality....

On Friday too.

It was hard to imagine and make decision. I felt like my head was gonna explode...

Finally

Cermin dan limau dan macam2 lagi.

Ada apa dengan cermin dan limau????

Tengahari tadi pi ambil cermin yang ditempah ikut ukuran yg I beri...custom made kononnya. Unfortunately tak siap lagi..cermin ada tapi without frame. I guess it was purposely done like that since salah kira. The price should be RM120 instead of RM75. Eleh...I beli cermin lebih kurang saiz tu di Nilai 3 RM40 je. Tapi frame dark brown in color. Bersungguhlah si penerima tempahan pujuk I untuk bayar lebih. Maaflah, I would only pay what is on the bill, the price that we have been agreed on Saturday. Why should I pay the price due to their mistake??? Lagi kelakar si pemotong cermin kata owner kedai marah. Macamlah I tak tahu she is the owner haha. Macamlah I tak pernah tempah cermin dulu2. Kata si penerima tempahan gaji dia kena potong, dia rugi harga cermin, malah rugi dua biji limau juga haha.....I tak beli limau tu, jauh sekali nak minta...dah orang nak beri ;)))).

Lepas tu pi kedai ludah jilat kembali. FAHAM?? Macam ni...I have made a promise to myself not to go this shop any more since the sales girl called me something unacceptable in her language. Unfortunately my contractor has made a deal with them and I need to choose the tiles combination that suit my liking. Banyak fenin la....yang mana satu???

Light brown + dark brown

Light brown+dark grey

My contractor has suggested the two colors on the right. Light grey+dark grey

Balik rumah, I had these for lunch

No. No. No....definitely I can't finish it all at once. Menjadi dinner juga tau. Tu pun ada leftover lagi.

While surfing the internet, tiba-tiba ternampak Sofina@FashionValet. Klik klik hanya tinggal satu warna. Klik klik tetiba dah tiada huhuhu. Tiba2 mentol bersinar atas kapla. Cepat2 browse.......Klik klik tiba2 problem with Maybank2u. Klik klik tiba2....

Alhamdulillah......can't hardly wait...la la la

While updating this blog, tertengok hlive...terdengar lagu ada lirik Marry me...terlihat videoClip@SydneyHarbourBridge...Owh how I miss Australia....

Oklah nak tgk si sotong...walaupun haritu nyampah coz ada unsur tak bermoral ...terlanjur etc, tapi terakam dan terikut jugak siri ni....

Current Project

I have been rejected thrice by the contractor (mac, may,oct/nov 2013). He claimed that he was busy with mega project such as school and huge banglo. Out of sudden, last month his wife asked me whether I want to renovate my porch or not. When thing happened unexpectedly, I didn't take a long time to agree ....

I paid the first instalment on Tuesday noon and really surprised when later in the evening I received a phone call from the contractor that he would start the demolishing work on Wednesday. I only managed to snap photos of my blooming pink and purple flowers in the morning...they were all gone by late afternoon huhu.....

Actually this is my fourth project.
My first project started about the same time last year and completed on July.
My second project started during fasting month and completed on sept 2013. Then the third one completed last month.
Nak terus buat semua idok le mampu.
Sikit2 jadilah rumah yang selesa diduduki dan sedap dipandang dek mata sendiri.

Apa yang penting, semua kerja perlu dipantau dan sebarang ketidakpuashati perlu disuarakan dengan segera kepada kontraktor untuk mengelakkan kekesalan di kemudian hari.Jika memang tidak boleh diubah lagi, perlulah redha dan terima seadanya...Thing happens for a reason...yang penting be grateful.
Contoh:
Kitchen cabinet yg dibina tidak mempunyai penutup atas walaupun telah dipesan kepada installer dan juga telah dilakar. Walaupun nampak tak kemas, hikmahnya resapan air dinding dari balkoni rumah jiran boleh dikesan dan segera dibaiki.
