Code: LaundryOver the weekends, Kris finally bought his tile-cutters - not the industrial straight-line cutters, but the handheld manual ones. He really liked it cos he's almost done with the entire wall last Sunday!! Yeah, he's completed all the finnicky bits like making holes in the tiles for the taps & sockets & other fixtures... So, he's left with the simple straight-cuts for the benchtop & the sides of the furniture... Then, he can finally grout the tiles to make it more permanent & waterproof & then, we can fix all the fixtures proper & paint the walls... Yeah, then after that, we'd prolly paint the kitchen walls too!! Cos I don't think we can afford to do the entire kitchen up!! ~sigh~
I mean, I would really like to get rid of the current cabinets & all that & get a new one & fit the new double sink & cooker hub that we've got for over a yr now!! And new cabinets, mean that all the stove & oven & hub can all get aligned properly, we'll get proper pantry & more storage for the utensils and also, I'll prolly be able to get a slightly bigger kitchen... not much, but just a smidgeon!! But we can't afford that right now... We'll see when the capital investment money is returned, if we're gonna do it!!
Personally, I'd seriously like to have the kitchen done!! If not for catching a higher price when we sell the place, but at least to make the house look more complete & well-thought for. And even if we never get any opportunity to sell this place, and means that we'll have to raise our kids here, at least it IS complete for all of us... But right now, I'm just very satisfied at how the laundry area is coming into shape & very proud of Kris for listening to my designs, ideas & whingeing!! hehehe...

Continuing with my last post about my annoyance with callers who don't leave msgs on my answering machine when they do get them... Well, I have come to the conclusion that these are irritating telemarketers & survey companies which are currently plagueing every household in Australia with their incessant calls at just about anytime of the day!!!
Let's not count all the other days... Seriously, just today alone, I've got calls around 9am, 12nn, 2.30pm, 4.30pm & 6pm... getting me kicked out of my dialup for 5 times in less than 12hours!! They have costed me money!!! Perhaps I could pick up that call & ask for their company's details & sue them for harrassment!!
I dunno how, but some of these callers actually managed to penetrate my online re-dial service & break thru to get my answering machine!! And yet, they didn't leave any message!! What's the point?! Didn't they learn that when u do get the machine, make sure to leave a msg so that if we're really interested in getting that call, we'll wait for them to call back at the annointed time!!They may even get a sale - even though they know that they won't even buy these products/services themselves!!
But I do hope if any of you telemarketers/surveyors read this, pls pls pls I beseech you... Forget about what the mgt told u!! Take note of that person's name & number & jot down a time for them!! And then, leave the bloody msg already with your name, company & purpose of call!! Of course, make sure u call back or they'll curse u forever!!

Oooohhh... I was up late last nite & chatting to Jaire... and sharing juicy bits of our lives... Oh Nor, I've sent him your regards... and he misses you too... Well, at first he said... "Which Nor? cos I know alot of Nors"... So, I had to show your pix thru my messenger!! hehe... and he said... "OOoohhhh that Nor... hehee..." Also told him to go check out your Friendster profile... which he said he might do... Or, you can also just do a friend request from him lah... ok?
Anyway, about late last nite, Lin came online & started chatting cos she couldn't sleep!! And she asked me if I was the one who sent her a freaky msg... Something like Read On... Read Some More... or something like that... anyhoos, told her it wasn't me... but it kinda freaked her out...
Told her that Peter is in Bangkok and last week, while he was in a drugged & drunken stupor, he had lost his mobile phone!! And a few days ago, I've been receiving text msgs from his mobile & this person who picked up the phone has been pissing me off cos he continuously texted me right into the night & into the morning!! And then, the next day too... And today, I received another one!! I'm trying to think of what I can do to stop him, seeing that Peter bought a prepaid, therefore he didn't bother to inform the police about it cos he's sure not to see the phone again... and this jerk is prolly just having fun trying to finish the credits!! So stupid!! He cld have used all those credits making legitimate necessary calls to whomever he wished, and he msgd me instead!!! ~sigh~ Stupid is as stupid does!!
So, I'm thinking right? Should I report this to the police (as if they'd care or do anything about it) or should I just post the no. on the internet & get everyone in the entire world to keep texting this jerk until he's pissed off?! Hmmmm....
