Oh no... the house is not complete yet!

17th February 2009

Talk about a sad moment... My wife had recently underwent a surgical operation after being diagnosed with 'anembryonic pregnancy', confirmed twice. Yes, it is sad to know that our third bundle of joy is not coming as expected, and we'll have to wait for a few months before trying again. You can read more about this at our [other blog].

With regards to the house, it's now clear to me that the house cannot be completed on time. We are still waiting for the stair cases railing to be installed (they promised this will start this week), and built-in cabinets in the bedrooms are still being fixed. After that, there's still cabinetry works yet to be done in the dry kitchen, study room as well as the home theatre.

With regards to plumbing works, almost all pipes has been installed. Amongst all rooms, I personally like the master bathroom and the powder room. Our selection of toilet bowls, wash basins together with the wall and floor tiles make a dramatic impression, just the way my wife and I imagined. Most importantly, the end result really makes all those extra expenses worth it!

Syafi and Safiya were really enjoying our recent visit, and both pretended to have showers in their own bathrooms. Hehehe... I guess I'll have more peace of mind once the glass and aluminium shower doors are installed.

For now, enjoy these pictures and let's all hope that I'll be able to post pictures of the wrought iron railings soon, as well as the ... opppsss!! the front door!

The powder room. The wash basin on the counter top is my wife's choice.
