Curtain

Got it! After been looking for so many places. Yeay!! Before that, I already went to several shops, only 2 to 3 kedai je that have TURQUOISE curtain, but the price is ridicolous! Ada yg sampai RM65, RM88, and even RM 98 per meter. Crazy! Takkan la aku nak buat curtain on one floor sampai RM3-4K pulak.

At first, I wanted to go to SSF Curtain, but asyik tak berkesempatan je. But last Thursday night, hubby ajak aku pergi ke Globe in Jalan TAR first, then later baru pergi tengok kat SSF Curtain. Aku dah nekad time tu, if ada je kat SSF, confirm aku akan beli, dah penat round KL including VIVA Home kat Cheras. But luckily, bila sampai je kat Globe, Wow! At first masa kat level 4, semua curtain cokia je kat situ. Frust jugak aku.....tapi bila aku pergi ke Level 5, huh.....sungguh banyak curtain yg cantik2!! Aku yg tak berapa berkenan dengan curtain berbunga-bunga pun, boleh tersuka pulak ngan curtain bunga2 kat situ. Tapi memandangkan aku dah set my concept and nak only plain curtain, so I have to stick to the plan.

Ada curtain yg exactly the same colour as what I posted before, aku OK je, but hubby tak suka the material, nampak murahan katanye. So we ended up with a better material which is RM35 per meter walaupun the colour is slightly different from my initial plan, but I LIKE!! Alhamdulillah, with the negotiation skill yg ada, org Globe tu bagi kitorang RM27 per meter. Ye lah....we are the last customer, tak tahu pulak yg Globe tu tutup pukul 9.00 malam. Kesian cashier tu terpaksa balik pukul 9.20 malam sebab kitorang. Apa2 hal pun aku dah rasa relieve sangat sebab dah settle hal TURQUOISE curtain aku ni.... For my other 2 floors, aku nak beli kat Nilai 3 je. Dah jumpa the right material and colour...tapi belum close the deal je lagi. Tapi seriously, memang murah harga curtain kat Nilai 3 tu. With the same material yg berharga RM35 in KL, kat situ aku boleh dapat RM17. Seriously murah!!! So guys, don't waste your money buying curtain in KL unless kalau you all tak jumpa the right material or colours!!

Rumput hiasan

I never had any interest to know about the type of grass suitable for my lawn .... because am currently staying in a condo. But since my new house got some areas to be filled up and of course I won't be converting all those area into tiles, therefore I need to learn a little bit about rumput. My hubby did some research and there are 3 common types of rumput. These are the info that he gathered so far....

1. Cow grass - this is the type of grass that can be found at padang sekolah. Senang nak jaga kot, tapi takde lah cantik pun.

 

Cow Grass

2. Pearl grass @ Rumput mutiara - macam cow grass, tapi kilat, cantik dan mahal. Senang dijaga, tahan lasak dan takkan panjang, sebab dia memanjang ke tepi..... Very low maintenance. Sesuai utk org yg busy a.k.a malas like me. Harga RM1.80 utk 2 kaki persegi in Sg. Buloh, without installation.

Pearl Grass @ Rumput Mutiara

3. Rumput carpet @ Japanese grass - I like rumput carpet, but susah nak jaga. Cepat panjang dan perlu penjagaan rapi. Will it suitable for me yg tak pandai hal pokok dan rumput ni? Serangga suka duduk bawah rumput ni because it's cool down there. Harga is RM6 for 2 kaki per segi.

Japanese Grass

This is Philippine Grass, not Japanese Grass. RM1.80 for 2 kaki per segi, same as Pearl Grass.

Below is my backyard. I'm thinking to put Pearl Grass here, and Japanese grass Philippine Grass at my front lawn....

Kitchen Cabinet Part 0

Why this post is Part 0? It's because I would like to share the lessons that I learned from my kitchen cabinet job for my condo.

1. My biggest mistake : Only went to 1 kedai/showroom in Seremban (and my condo in KL) and terus close the deal! Biasa lah...masa tu takde experience pasal hal rumah ni....so bila I compare the price with what I'm getting now was far far far most expensive that I got today for a better material! -- Now : I went to 7 places and end up for the most bargain price.

2. The design of the drawers/compartment was left to the designer which in deed did not know our own kitchen requirements. So end up, the drawer for ketchup, spices etc is so big that the requirement! -- Now : I make sure the number of drawers, doors are following my kitchen needs.

3. Heavy load drawer is a must! I did not aware of this, therefore my drawers where I kept my plates, bowls could not properly closed because it did not design for heavy loads.

-- Now : BLUM drawers, designed & guaranteed for heavy loads.

 Kitchen at my condo : Before solid surface was installed

4. No stainless steel baskets and swing basket were installed which made it hard to reach some stuff inside the cabinet! -- Now : I have my stainless steel basket for bottle, swing basket and for my ration storage :-)                                                

 Complete kitchen

5. Standard height cabinet looks nice and modern, but limited storage area especially for a house that only has 1 kitchen. -- Now : I installed ceiling height for my wet kitchen for ample storage area and it does look modern too.

6. Without all those above, I had to pay RM16,300 for the kitchen which I think it could get me my wet and dry kitchen for the new house with a better material and accessories.

 

 

My condo that soon will be missed :-(

Learning through EXPERIENCE is the best lesson!!

Curtain Hunting

My friend had once told me, if you want to buy curtains, go and buy in Nilai 3. His friend wanted to buy curtain last time for his house from a reputable shop in KL area, and for 3 storey house, was 12k. Then he ended up bought his curtain at Nilai 3 for RM3k....

So I went to Nilai 3 last weekend and went into several shops. It is cheap in deed! But the only problem is, I could not find the colour that I was looking for. I was looking for turqoise colour but could not find any! I even went to Nilai 1 but still could not find it. So anyone......please let me know if you had seen any turqoise colour curtain like the photo below (btw, I took the photo from google image)....let me know the place please....

Thank you Mr. Google for the photo :-)
