All these started w/ when we planned to get marry, we will need a "nest", our HOME. We are blessed enough to have our parent's support. Like seriously FULL support from them! We can't make it this far w/o their love, support & guidance. As you all know that, we are in the midst of arranging and doing our new house's renovation. I have also keep this blog updated w/ "New House post". So that we can read back when we are 40years old?! haaa ;D
From the beginning of this year, we have been dealing w/ defects which mean we get to fix or re-do some of the small defects in the new house. Over the past 6 months, we have been routinely doing this and finally came to an end around May. Once this stage ended, we are entering into renovation work. Loads of planning to look into like I have mentioned zillion million times before at my Instagram or Twitter. So today we gonna share w/ you some of the planning progress of us for our new home :)
The day when we got the new house's key after the defect period came to an end! Superb happy and content!!
Celebrating w/ Sunday cone! lol
Guess we are one of the very hardworking couple that will go around all the furniture shop in KK during our free-time, comparing price and quality of the thing that we are eye-ing for. All the sweat and effort paid off when we got the furniture that we wanted w/ affordable price and good quality!
Looking back all the photos that we took during the chaotic period of purchasing kitchen essentials, room, living room, dining room, guest room, study room... Man!!! Can't imagine it is almost coming to an end soon.
Choosing material for curtain also one of a knowledge that we learnt lately. Not easy in term of matching w/ the furniture that we choose. But thank God we have chosen what we want last week and 1 down.

And we decided to do the painting ourselves, there the challenges came! We gotta scrubs all the door frames & prepare for painting. From choosing color till what kind of paint to use is also a lesson to learn.
Stepping into friend's shop also helps a load in term of tips & discount that given to us :)
The support that get from the Future-in-law is very much appreciated! This is how they show their love to us by their actions :)
Of course I can't slack but to work hard too!
We have finished painting. Tho it is not perfect perfect like the professional but it was our hard work. Even when we look at the wall or door frames that we have paint, it will b a great memories of ours.
The other day we went to the new house to have a look w/ the light, boyfren casually joke w/ me on the door frame that I painted. Superb messy and we had a good laugh about it ;)
Kitchen cabinet is one of the main thing we look into. Quote different pricy and at the end we got a special discount from an uncle of Joel. I can see my kitchen cabinet approximately in another week!
Dealing w/ the agent who helps in purchasing all the furniture from Ikea was a massive headach due to the amounts. Shipping also caused another problem to us. But none the least, it is all here and waiting the right timing to assemble it.
Lighting also playing an important role in the whole house. It can creates a different atmosphere by choosing the design & light bulb. Thank God for our electric man in giving his important opinion. As you can see in the pichass below, we choose down-light in most of the corner. It looks more classy and bright w/ white color bulb.
Never in our life that we purchased quite a no of air-cons.
Wall-light at the staircase. Suggesting you to choose this kind of light- Up&down so that it helps more and brighter.
A big mess at the dining area.
Our living room. It is kinda spacious. The grey wall that painted by the boyfren ;) So proud of him!
Remember this? We are trying to create a similar feel of this at our living room.
Checking out the air-con and also lighting and the boyfren said: 我们的家好像越来越有feel o!! Totally agreed w/ him! Can't wait till everything and every pieces of the furniture come alive together.
Last but not least, the 1st photo of us in our new house. Another month to go till
Holla, HOME SWEET HOME!
And now, we are still in the midst of getting grill, mosquito net, pipping (laundry area), flooring, electric gate, alarm system, kitchen cabinet&custom-made-build-in-vanity (coming soon), assemble all the furniture done. Of course we are also still looking some other furniture that we wanted to get here instead of Ikea. Then we are good to go!
Can't wait till everything is done but at the same time feel slightly sad because we gonna miss this process of renovation until we get another house again. After this, we can fully focus on another big project of ours- #JMDay & marriage preparation.
We wanted to thank God for His provision and blessing throughout the planning, executing & till now. He never fail to put a smile on our face at the end of the day despite of all the hassle, sweat, argument that we had. We really learn a load more than we can imagine through this house renovation thingy. May God continue look after us as we entering the final stage of renovation work and continue on on our wedding & marriage preparation. Amen!
We will update and flood this blog w/ pichaaa and video once the house is done ;) Stay tune xx
