Renovations

our renovations are still underway but at more rapid pace these days. we have so far completed all the hackings, plumbing, tiling, wiring, plaster ceiling and half way through the painting ... somewhat, choosing paint colors was really painful and frustrating because of the seemingly infinite options. i chose a few colors from the paint chips, but when the painter tried them on the walls and some of them just looked NOTHING like i envisioned!! the painter almost gone crazy after a few trips cuz i really couldnt get the "right tone" of GREEN!! (we need to use green in many areas due to geomancy reason.) GREEN?! omg, how nice can it be?? i really dont know. i can tell u, it is really hard to choose nice green tones for so many different areas. i had a tough time getting just right after all the jumps.

here are the rooms when we first entered the condo.

entrance

living room

kitchen

master bedroom

Little Chloe

ok, here are a few more pics as promised.

last evening, when we were in bed ... our neighbour at the back on their kitchen lighting ...

chloe: mommy ... lightning ah?

me: no, chloe, there is no lightning. it is not raining now, so there is no lightning.

chloe: 没有 raining ... no lightning ah? ...

me: yes, we usually see lightning when it is raining. there is "no" lightning now because it is not raining.

chloe: "no" lightning ... 没有raining ah?

me: yes ... it is "not" raining now. when it is raining, you can hear the rain pounding on the window and the roof. listen, it is not raining now.

chloe: 没有 raining ...

Updates

k ... it is fairly obvious that I haven’t been around here much lately and it has been quite a while since my last update about little Chloe. i will try to post more pics later.

i was back to kindy again, teaching k2 now. phew ... cant imagine, being a kindy teacher is much harder than most people could imagine. the work is hard, and there is so much to do, and never-ending lists. however you are never bored, the people who work in kindyland are all lovely and the kids become such an important part of your life. well, of cos i wont want to do this forever, but it is a learning process that i m pretty much enjoying with. the fun i have had always outweighs the stress! while busying with the kids, i m busying with our reno too! i m getting very paranoid and sick of renovation ... our reno has been ongoing for 1 mth plus and still not done. gosh ... i really need a break and i am hoping that time will pass faster so that i can have my new home very soon!! will try to post some of the reno pics soon.

need to apologize. i know that many of you keep visiting my blog and hoping to receive updates on Chloe. well, little Chloe is fine. very naughty as usual and she has learnt this yago pose recently (hubby really likes it). hubby said i MUST post this picture. hahaha, isnt she cute?
