Spring cleaning

For the past few weekends, we’ve been trying to rearrange the deco inside the house.

Our house is quite small so there’s not much you can do without making it too cluttery.

In order to make it look more spacious, we are trying to throw/store stuff away yang memang dah lama we all tak guna.

Some of the things that we threw out semalam are some of my cookbook/ cooking magazines collections yang I dah kumpul since 2001!

Sedih giler nak berpisah dengan the cookbooks and the magazines itu!

The Other Half memang takkan sentuh my collection tu so it was up to me to cull it.

Betul2 kena cekalkan hati semalam, hikhikhik.

And now the big rubbish bin is half full of old magazines and unused cookbooks.

And the lounge room is now one bookcase emptier.

This mid September, we would have been living in this house for 3 years. And sejak masuk, memang dah macam2 rearrangement we all buat to the interior deco of the house and a bit on the outside as well.

Nak renovate the house, tak mampu lagi so tukar deco aje lah.

Like The Other Half kata, “a change is as good as a holiday.”

Hahahaha .

Msa the first year masuk kat rumah ni, this area at the front door memang kosong aje.

Now I rasa makin bertambah berseri2 bila dah letak flower pots here.

And the Everlastings ni pun has made the postbox area berseri2 jugak kan .

And sejak dari pukul 3 tadi, I’ve been sitting in front of the computer trying to sort out photos that I want to print so I can put them up in photo frames and also on this cork board yang masih sangatlah kosong nya!

So, I can start decorating the empty walls in the house.

Sebab corkboard tu masih kosong so I rasa that area tu sangat lah kosong nya jugak so I pun pi lah beli this wall deco to brighten up that area a bit.

Geleng kepala aje The Other Half bila I kerah dia pasang the wall art tadi, hahahaha…..

Takpe, before I asked him to do that, I made sure I made him a special breakfast.

Hari ni is Father’s Day here in OZ so I pun buat lah scones for breakfast pagi tadi.

And sebab Father’s Day, I cut the scones into heart-shapes and serve with strawberry compote and whipped cream .

And ini pulak our dinner a few nights ago.

Rice with chinese style lauk pauk.

I made stir fry beef and veges in black bean sauce and honey chicken.

I like this style more than mamak or indian curries and once in a while, everyone kena makan this style of lauk pauk with rice bila I really craved for it.
