Spring Cleaning Weekends

2 more weeks and we will be celebrating Chinese New Year, welcoming the Year of PIG...this is MY YEAR !!!

In order to welcome the PIG Year in style, i started Spring cleaning the house on the weekends.

Item 1:

Change cushion covers - adrian will take out the existing covers and sent to the laundry shop, then take the new one to cover the cushion. This is his annual duty.

Item 2 :

Balcony windows - as the balcony windows are too high, i usually tell Siti not to climb on the chair to clean them. There are too many cases of maids falling off while cleaning windows, so i am very concerned. On Saturday, i used the Magic clean handle and with a wet clothes , i managed to clean the outside and inside of the windows. Now the windows are sparkling clean.

Item 3:

Curtains - I managed to buy a set of ready made curtains from AMK Central shop. Cost $49.00
On Sunday, i changed the curtains in Anders room and our sleeping room, now with new curtain, it feels good. The old curtains are all washed and clean, now kept in my wardrobe.

Item 4:

Dusty corners - i bought a car vacumn for the car, so i used it on dusty corners of the house, since it is just a small area. Adrian was impressed with the vacumn cleaner and said that the next household item we can consider buying is a Vacumn Cleaner, since Siti is going back and there will be no one to sweep the house daily.

Item 5:

IN the plan - After watching too many episodes of the variety show "Home Decor Survivor 2 ", i got this urge to try DIY...haha. Painting the wall of the Living room. I am toying with this idea as the walls are 'dirtied' with all the children's creativity. Will go to the paint shop this week to check out the details.

On Sunday night, we had dinner at a Korean Resturant at Amara Hotel by the name of Hyal To Go . The reason for going to this restaurant is i received a SGD 100 voucher from my colleague. So it was a good chance for us to discover new venue. The food were delicous and service was good as we had a private room. Very good experienced.

Well, looking forward to this coming Sunday for our advance Reunion Dinner at 253 as Lao Pa and Lao ma is going China to celebrate Chinese New Year.
