Lights and books everywhere

We’ve been busy the whole day today.

Dari pagi tak berhenti rasanya (but still ada selingan makan kat luar and pergi window shopping though, hehehe.)

Pagi2 morning, we reorganised the fridge and freezer. We had to empty out the old fridge and freezers and then transfer the stuff from there to the new fridge and freezer.

Sambil tu buat ‘spring cleaning’ the freezers jugak.

Punyalah banyak benda dalam freezer tu yang tidak dapat di cam intipatinya, hahahahaha.

Mostly they were leftovers and I put them in ziplock bags but forgot to write on the bags what the content is. So, bila dah berbulan2 duduk dalam freezer, you tend to forget what they were Open-mouthed smile.

But nowadays I dah ‘rajin’ sikit, I will usually write straight away on the ziplock bags what’s in them and the dates so senang lah nak cari and nak guna and nak buang kalau dah lama sangat.

Then we went light hunting in the morning.

Since we moved into this house, we haven’t changed the light fittings and fixtures in this house.

The previous owner ni loves roses so a lot of the lamp covers on the ceilings were glass covers with roses/ flowers prints.

We really do not like them!

But we were too malas to change them and just left them there. Until a few days ago we sort of said since we are going to have new stuff in the kitchen, we might as well change the lights in the kitchen as well.

So, tadi bila pergi the lighting shop, terus teruja nak tukar the covers for the whole house.

These are the lights that we got.

We got this for the kitchen.

The Other Half kata, senang 1 lampu tuju the stove/ oven area, satu lampu tuju the sink, 2 lampu tuju the bench Smile. So, boleh nampak segalanya dengan jelas, hehehe.

And this one sits over the dining area.

And this glass light fitting pulak for the rest of the house (except the bathrooms, toilet, hallway and Miss 8’s room).

Why not in Miss 8’s room?

Sebab dia nak yang macam ni untuk her room.

A purple glass shade in her room! hehehe.

The Other Half tadi spent the afternoon tolong I kemas the fridge and freezer and also pasang all the lights as well.

Pastu, after dinner kat luar, we came back home and sambung kemas bookcases pulak since we have to rearrange the family room to accomodate the freezer.

Ini selonggok recipe books that I have (the recipe magazines I tak longgok lagi tu, hehehe).

Pastu, masa tengah2 kemas the recipe books, I terjumpalah these 2 books….

Mak mentua I bagi 2 buku ni ke I as hadiah Christmas about 8 years ago…

You rasa lah kan, apasal dia bagi buku ni ke I eh?

Dia nak hint2 ke I about something ke?

Hikhikhikhikhik……. Winking smile.

For the next few days, our house memang macam rumah orang baru pindah, penuh dengan kotak and stuff everywhere!

whitecappucino,
macam ni lah kalau beli rumah second hand, fittings dlm rumah ni semua ikut selera previous owner. Baru skrg we all tergerak nak tukar macam2, hehehe.

Sue,
MIL I tu nak ckp depan2 tak berani agaknya, tu yg dia bagi buku tu kan, hahaha.
Nasib baik lah menantu hantu dia ni skrg dah rajin sikit kemas rumah :-P

Amie,
buku aje banyak, recipe yg dah di cuba seciput aje, hahaha.

Adeeya,
Miss 8 pun seronok sgt dpt shade lampu kaler purple, hahaha

Cik Mat,
rumah MIL dah konon2nya spotless lah, tu yg dia bagi buku tu ke I so I boleh jadi mcm dia, hehehe. Tapi dia takkan nya tolong bekerjasama, heeee

June,
lepas habis semua installed, boleh I buat 'house warming' party on the blog, semua orang boleh tengok, hehehe

Kak Kasih,
betul tu, tersangat lah sayang nya kan, hahahaha.

ibu,
I pun suka kumpul buku recipes tapi recipes yg I cuba maybe ada lah setakat 1-2 per book, hehehe.

pendragon,
I dah awal2 suruh hubby tuju2 kan all the lights to the righr places so I tak payah susah paayh panjat tangga tujukan sendiri :-).

Messy Mummy,
Memang meriah kalau semua lampu dipasang but nanti I lah yg bising sbb tension tengok bil electric tinggi, hehehe.

Azra,
buku2 ni pun I kumpul sejak 20 tahun dulu kot, tu yg banyak, hehehe. Tapi kumpul buku aje pun, cuba recipe malas sikit I ni :-)

blu4sky,
hikhikhik...nanti I share 1 tip a day ye so berbaloi jugak lah buku yg MIL hadiahkan utk I ni, hehehe

Fatimah azzahra,
We love the sleek glass look, definitely makes the house a bit more modern looking :-)

Rdimple,
Masa dapat buku tu, I buat muka ceria sungguh walaupun terasa sikit. But skrg I dah tak kisah, hehehe.

Mulan,
tu lah, masa we all duduk rumah sewa dulu, memang guna aje lah apa yg dah tersedia ada kat rumah tu. Bila pindah rumah sendiri, baru slowly tukar benda2 yg kecik2 mcm lampu ni :-).
