On Monday..earlier this week..my cuz n me went to Busu's place to help Cik Khidir fix their kitchen. That was the only place in their house that wasnt fixed..with a temporary make-shift store room and no kitchen cabinets..Busu had been wishing for her dream kitchen ever since.. And now..Cik Khidir took a week's leave and since we were not working, Cik Khidir was to teach us the art of fixing flooring. YEAH! When we came over..he already took down the unnecessary stuffs as well as the make-shift store room. We first had to organise the stuffs. It was a real budget thingy..recycling all the stuffs he had. So he didnt spend anything..HAHAHA.. Then we had to raise up and even up the floor.. The thing abt budget work is we had a lot of calculation and problem solving to do..as we had to check and see whether the equipment we had could fit into the area or not..whether THAT particular type of floor colour was enuf.. and so on..

Several problems came up like when we disovered the boards were not of the same serial numbers..it came from a different batch and so we had to find the ones that match..it ended up ok.. Then we transited till morning.. so we had to convert from using the jigsaw to the hacksaw..shack man! But we managed to complete the main parts of the kitchen lar..Saturday..we going to help out again..

These are some pics..

1. Working on fixing the flooring..


2. Ali..


3. The kidz..playing while we worked.. HOW DO PLAY WITH A DOLL HOUSE??!!


But they still helped out in cleaning some mess..


4. Half-way done..HOW? Lawa? This is Budget Contractors!!


5. And..there's always time for music! By Jihanola Bergs...Hahaha..soon tat hair will have to go off when he goes into NS this Sept!!

My financial level is getting better and better as time goes by..lesser debts..my debtors amount still the same..hope i can get back some of my debts..hmm.. This is the only moolah i have in my pockets!! HIDUP BAJET!! (Live on budget!!) But i kinda have got used to this lifestyle..NO-FRILLS!! Heheh..

But man! I ate with the rest of the Team 21 tadi at Lau Pa Sat.. First..one satay vendor scolded a young seafood vendor for taking our orders..claiming he stole his business (His rationale is the outside seats..u noe..the open air ones on the closed off lane..was his territory and if he sold seafood to us..then we would order lesser satay..WAT THE??!) People and their perception..u guys should read this book.."PIANO BY THE BEACH" by Jim Dornan on the power of positive thoughts and actions. Great book! from there..we re-live the thinking of asking yourself "WHY NOT?!" instead of "WHY SHOULD I??"..its the thin difference of the use of english, which presents the same meaning but of different intentions..the first one positive and the latter, negative.

But maan!! The food and drinks were made for emperors!!! Average..below par for the drinks but the prices, EXTORBITANT! (The lime juice..ard a packet drink equivalent in amt costs $2.50??) GEESH...dah lah HIDUP BAJET nie..

And yah.. as some as u may noe..i started working daah.. become like Peter Parker in Spidey 2. At one time.. On may way to sending a pizza to Normanton's Park..there was a road construction going on..it delayed me for nearly 10mins..hahaha..so i took a phot in case the customer complained!

One time..i forgot to check that they didnt pack the coleslaw into the order bag.. low morale siak the whole day..(My perfectionist nature creeping in...) But many a times..i got to practise the skills i read from this book..if u guys wan the book..can get from me..GREAT BOOK! Jus smile..

And yeah...sch is starting in a month's time.. MY DONKEY got better!! Now..he's grreaaaTT!! GEREK..now can go till 70kmh without any backblast or jerking watsoever!! I plan to change the rear sprocket to a smaller size to compensate my acceleration for speed.. anyway..esp my 1st gear i feel is a bit wasted..go till max rev only reach 10-15kmh..bluek! I want to ask ard and see whether can change the gear sizes in the gear box..if can..BETTER lah sial! Then..cahange air filter too..fix the leakage and the reat will be cosmetic! Hehehe..

Naj..hang take care K! WHatever u r doing tat is keeping u real busy..i wigh u best of luck in..jus enjoy urself k! Ciao Chinchao..CHENDOL OUT!
