Happenings in March

The Elections in Malaysia came and went and it was more interesting than the politics in Singapore. There were campaign billboards splashed with black paint, challenges thrown to opposition parties to step down if they lose their bets on the race of the next mayor, print advertisements asking the people to vote for the ruling party (admitting that they may not have understood the sentiments on the ground previously but have now done their homework) and even TV adverts! The Oppositions won more seats this time, a total of 82 while BN won 140 seats. Sarawak still remains a BN bastion, although it won with reduced majority. Now that the election fever has subsided, it's time for work to be done.

I made my second attempt at the slope for the circuit driving test and failed again. This time, the Head Instructor says he will personally go through with me to see for himself where I went wrong before the next test. By the way, I scored 19 out of 20 for the road test, the 1 point being I didn't adjust the mirrors before driving off.

I also scrapped away on Jonathan as I was inspired by a new ring album bought in KL (smaller size). Apart from the first LO which is a 12" by 12", the rest are the smaller LOs. Do give me feedback.

New living room

The living room is very large and spacious after extension project Part 1. Part of the old living room has been made into a study cum sleeping/play room for Jonathan (it's behind the door on the right). I like the study room coz that means I don't have to stay in my bedroom the whole day. And I have my work table so I can scrap away while keeping an eye on Jonathan.

Here's the another view from the spilt level part of the living room.

Now. we're into the second phase of the renovation, which is to extend the split level area of the living room to meet the patio area, with an access to the patio. And good news, the cats will have an area there. There's also work behind the existing kitchen area with a door access to the current dining area. This is so when we cook, the smells will not permeate the whole place, making our clothes smell. Looks like it's going take another two months of renovations...
