Concert: Jor Lun Yau Lei aka Alan Tam and Hacken Lee

Yes, I was at the concert on Saturday! With Hubby, K and W. So looking forward to this cause have not manage to catch any concert for some time. The last that I went, with hubby, was the Jacky Cheung concert about 2 years ago (?) We saw a long jam along the road towards TPM and decided to leave our car at the Tmn Sg Besi LRT station. Happily we bought our tickets and the train if packed with all concert goers!

The concert is suppose to start at 8:30pm but only started at 9pm - Malaysian time :(

Here are some of the photos taken, with my K800 hence quality is so so. I wish I have a DSLR as the stage is just incredible (or maybe I have not been to concert for long). The colour combination and the graphic display is fabulous.

We enjoy ourselves very much and sang our lungs out!!! I love their pick-your-song session, each of them will suggest 2 songs and will sing the song with the most clap/cheers. At certain combination, the crowds are equally divided and both singers generously sang both songs! The crowds sang with the stars until 12 midnight!

I enjoy the songs so much that at some point I really feel like stand-up and dance. But the crowd nearby are such an obedient lot. Most of them just sit there quietly watching the concert while the 4 of us and 3 other ladies on my right are singing/shouting loudly, waving our hands and participated in the show! You know what I mean?

Anyhow we left with a happy memories of the concert until we reach the LRT station. Why? Because the station is closed and we can get back to our car!!!!!!!! So much for supporting the public transport. Those who used the public transport that day were so disappointed that the LRT is close at 11:30pm. Mostly thought that the LRT will operate till later cause there are not 1 but 2 concerts on the same night. But how wrong all of us are!

Renovation: Week 3

Progress in week 3 is SLOWwwwwwww and the reason being the developer is taking his own sweet time to rectify the defects. After 2 weeks of waiting they fixed one of the major plumbing defects. We would not wait for the developer for the other defect, decided to asked the contractor to repair it.

Can you see the buble? 

The piping is stuck and the water from toilet sink overflow to this manhole!

The stairs used by the worker - we used it to reach the attic... hehehehe

 I was a bit scared when Hubby asked me to climb up even Angel is much more brave then I am.

 

Hubby can't stand straight on the attic while my head will touches the ceiling if I stand straight.

For Angel, no problem! She is enjoying herself cause she got to climb up the stairs.

 

See the re-position window? 

We got an extra 1.5 feet. We asked for a cement slab to be built and to be turn into a window-seat cum cabinet.

All 3 rooms will have it.

 

Ohh, and when we were at the attic, we found another problem.....

Picture below is just outside the attic window and its where the water tank sits. Can you see the reflection? There is water on the pavement! I was telling Hubby that if this water can't disperse fast enough and with the current raining season, we will have a very big aquarium on our roof!!!

Does any of you have such problem with your house? I wonder what was the engineer and architect thinking. This people just don't care about other thing else but their profit margin. Hubby have posted his comment on our neighbourhood forum. Hopefully we can figure something to solve the problem.

PARTY, PARTY!!!

On my way to the concert, yeah!

Another wedding

I have lost count of how many wedding I have attended this year, will be attending another this Thursday. Last Saturday was my cousin sister's wedding held at Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur. My second time at Parkroyal Ballroom for wedding.

It was raining cats and dog on our way to the hotel but luckily the traffic is smooth or because we are early. Cocktail is served from 6:30pm, we reach the hotel slightly after 6pm and we are not the earliest. Aunt 6 and family were there way before us. Ohh.. in case you want to know my mom have got 10 siblings and 8 (including mom) are girls. So, I have 7 aunts from my mom side. This is wedding of eldest daughter of my 5th aunt. Will have many more weddings to attend as the youngest cousin is only 7 years old!

I don't have a camera with me and was using my phone so the quality of the pictures were blurrish.

Rose bouquet as centre piece on the cocktail table.

Tid bits served during the cocktails - pistachio, walnut and those fried-noodles-alike (sorry don't know call what)

 

Hubby and Angel

Angel was grumpy cause we woke her up from her hap on our way to the hotel

 

A more awake Angel running around

She is still not familiar with all my aunts and cousins, whenever they call out for her she will run towards me or hubby.

if she can't find us, she will start crying.

 

The slide on the stage - My cousin sister, Janelle and her husband, Steven

A more jovial Angel.

 

And, the three of us.

Angel with her peace sign.... my baby

Angel was very jovial to the end and taken some pictures with my cousins ie Angel's auntie and uncle. Will get those and update it here later.

Renovation: Week 2

Another 7 days gone and this is how my house look like.

Lots of hacking on the wall for installation of additional plug and switches

It look like rain of wires in my living room

 

Once I reach the first floor - instead of sunshine, I'm greeted by this....the ATTIC!

This is the base of the attic floor, when the plaster ceiling its done, it will look much nicer.

 

This is the opening to the attic - no staircase so I can take a picture of the attic.

Remember the windows being removed last week? 

Now the frame is being re-attached.

 

Hacking of walls for wiring and air-cond piping - look so ugly and dangerous.

As the renovation work progress, the contractor discover a few more defect in the building. Some of which may be due to poor workmanship and even poor design on the architect. Its so sad that we paid so much for the house and this is the kind of quality that we are getting. These defects are causing the renovation to be delayed.

And of course the weather doesn't help much. Hopefully the rain will stop soon and the sun will be out more.

Estimated completion date: end December 2009. cross my fingers 8.
