baaaah

good news: i moved into my shoebox
bad news:

1) i have no tv nor broadband yet
2) only my Mormon sofa and bed are in so far, rest of my furniture will not arrive until later this week
3) i realized i am an idiot for leaving half my stuff at my rental, will transport them later
4) i desperately need to buy a lot of stuff like bedsheets, dishes, vacuum cleaner, and other stuff

we all tried to protect our hair today when we were painting my ceiling.

i have lots to learn from Sikh men


we finished painting the place though.


this is my den/living room. my blue accent wall will be where my couch is placed against.

what i bought

the view from my room :)

ok, better pictures of my room-painting-in-progress


the beam - it's going to be pink i think

neapolitan ice cream

i started painting last night. i used to frame, mount and gesso my own canvases with house paint back in high school (Arts York, hellllll yeah!), so i figured instead of spending 7k for someone to paint my walls, i will spend 1k on good paints and do it myself. ok, i am no alchemist but thanks to the nice people at the paint shop i know how to mix latex paint with water now.

didn't bring my camera with me but i am trying to figure out what to paint at the underside of my ceiling beam. the wall is gray, and my little nook in my room is pink.


yeah, i lost track of time and was there until 12 midnight, had to catch a taxi back to my rental. like, i am starting to question did i save money or not painting on my own if i have to keep taxi-ing every night.

let the mayhem begin.

we started reno's yesterday. i hate spotlights, especially cheap ikea ones with gross matte-silver finish. Sooooooo 2000. Taking that monstrosity off and installing my rooster wall sconce on the side wall instead.

I didn't know walls in Hong Kong were real brick and mortar. Ah well, live and learn.


We also removed the gross built-in vanity and mirror from the bedroom.

I had to interview someone at 6:30 that day, and my work fuck-you heels became covered with concrete dust. Blegh.

keys.

I'm officially a homeowner :)

The apartment looks a bit different after it's emptied.

hahahaha

i will get my flat a day ahead (may 4th)!
