Building a home, away from home.

Hi you guyssss. Lol.
I have been very busy. Doing nothing exactly. Just came back from KL visiting A for about a week, he is doing very well there la. Got people to do his laundry la. Food all eat nice2 lah. Bed all people make for him la. Sleep in aircon room la. So i have nothing much to worry actually knowing A's daily needs are cared for.

So while i was there in KL, we managed to view a few units for our home while we are there in coming years. Of course taking into consideration the price and space. We were pretty much stoked about finding a new home cause it seems that it was just yesterday we were going around tampines n pasir ris looking for our home.

Scott Gardens SOHO caught our eyes even before we viewed it physically. Duplex unit. 1 fairly huge room, making it just enough and cosy for both me and A. Of course we know we are bound to have visitors but in comparison to 1 or 2-3bedrooms, the price range are pretty high up. Thus, we decided that OK, we will get a unit enough for us, and cosy and comfortable if our family come to visit. We have to be accomodating but not too much because the rental isnt that low. And thats only because we decided in an area near city, actually just outside of city. 5mins to mid valley so thats good enough. To top off the icing on the cake, they actually have a mall below our apartment, they have starbucks, tesco, some fashion outlets, so really it is quite a good bargain 

Because we decided on a partially furnished unit, meaning what is provided are aircons, heater system, cabinets, cooker hob and hood, lights fixtures, we literally have to start from basic, meaning we have to purchase our housestyle items.

But of course buying brand new furnitures just doesnt make any sense considering the fact that we wont be in KL forever?, and i have emphasised to A on how we have to save as much and not waste on furnitures, i have came up with a fantabulous idea. As always, DIY lahh.

Wooden pallets. Really underrated those things. I will share with you a few design ideas that i plan to build, really ah ni bukan sangat 2 minute, maube if it works well, i might consider on having it at our spore home. Of course tak lah semua pakai wooden pallets kan. Much to be precise, i intend to have my bed frame & base, tv console, sofa bench (by e window for extra seats), coffee table. Pretty much tt.

But for now, im excited to show you some.of the pictures i took of our apt while viewing last week.

I will blog soon.
