Room makeover

Sunday, 5 January 2014
This unplanned makeover was sparked when I went on an IKEA date on the 27th with Olivia while they were having a weekend sale after Christmas. I got myself a couple of things including a pillow case, a jar and a cabinet - A CABINET!

So then I got home and looked around and decided I could do something!
Pardon the mess - there were so many things I unpacked after coming back from exchange.
Planning the draft of my room with that white paper on the bed.
Then I cleared most of my stuff on the 28th and went to IKEA again on the 29th to get 11 shelves and a few boxes and 2 lamps for less than $350.
I painted my room with the help of Sam and my bro on the second day and I finished the ceiling by myself!
My bro, dad and I were taking turns to drill holes for my shelves - obviously I did the least because I had not enough strength to keep the drill straight. ):

Finally while dropping by school for SMUX's annual general meeting on the 3rd, I headed to Spotlight at Plaza Singapura to get some fabric for my DIY hairband project! I already had the flower, the round pin for the center of the flower and the ribbon at home. So when I got back, I cut the fabric, machine sewed it together and stuffed a kitchen roll inside and sealed the ends with glue and the flower - all learnt from Pinterest!

With my fanciful range of hairbands!
Finally after removing two big bookcases and replacing the area above my table with just 2 shelves, I had loads to throw and loads to pack away. This was a job finally completed when I had done the above. Presenting my new room!
A girl can never have too many shoes.
Finally my favourite picture of the day! I removed the full length mirror from behind my door and am still thinking of where to place it. It's currently sitting at a good position for me to look at myself before I leave home!

Good bye for now! School starts tomorrow!

Strawberries and sunshine

Friday, 5 August 2011
I finally stayed home the whole day today to finish painting touch ups on the doors, the doors frames, etc. They took up so much of my time and made me all sticky and dirty too. But I'm glad to say, all the painting is officially and finally done!! Yay! :D

Today's a cold cold day! I walked out of the house and I regretted not bringing a jacket out to collect my developed photos! I finished the last of my film the other day and somehow while rewinding it got stuck. Thinking that I had finished rewinding the film, I opened the back cover and exposed the film!! ): So besides the first few shots that I took of us on the ski trip in Vermont and the last few swimming shots I took a few days ago, everything in between is over-exposed and lost forever. ): I think the only factor that can help ease the sense of loss that I feel is that I can't remember what I took after skiing and before swimming anyway. Oh wells...

Dinner with the cousins at The Manhattan Fish Market after watching Captain America together.

The show was okay, except that the ending was kind of abrupt. I keep questioning, what happened to his lover?! I mean, wouldn't she be the first one he would think of and want to look for after he woke up?
Anyway, I can't wait for The Avengers to come out in May 2012! :D Action-packed movies ftw!

Here are the 6 miserable photos left among all the other over-exposed ones.
Bro's supposed to be in the picture too but somehow he got cut off. =/
I miss my 2 kor kors. Let's go back again!! :D
The village at Stratton Mountain where we bought maple sweets and syrup for souvenirs!
Good night world!
