House Projects : Projects kick-off .... meeting?

Hehehehe...


Kalau project dah nak start, tentulah ada kick-off meeting.


(Teringat zaman masa aku baru kerja , tak paham kenapa di panggil kick-off meeting ekekeke kampungggg sangattttt)


Selalunya akan kick-off bila budget dah di approve by the management or stakeholders or etc. Designs dah approve, timeline dah approve etc.


Tapi sebab I lah chairman, I lah COO, I lah project manager dan I lah designer, maka semua tu bergantung pada aku... yer aku seorang. CEO aka hubby, cuba bagi approval yang setakat nama jer lah kan... Kalau dia tak approve, aku akan justifykan sampai dia approve, cemana tu? ekekekekke....tapi ada juga yang "eh! tetiba dia punya insight tu boleh solve kan problems...". Walaupun at the time I disagree (contohnya on item window tints) tapi lama2 aku rasa oklah kot if we take this item out from our list....


You cannot get everything ok!

4 Jan 2013 - school re-open!

Geez! The schedule is too tight.

Here are some of recycle photos just to get inspired on! Just dream about living it and maybe I will get enough motivation yeah!!

 The kitchen - here I am worried about the hood access. The wall need to be drilled, can it be drilled??

The master bedroom - I am still worried about the curtain for high ceiling - the cost and how it turns out.

 I did not really expect to get all the furnitures in at the same time since we have limited budget. But it will be nice to start decorate.

Here will be the focal point for our family. This place needs to be the center of the house. At least that is my plan.
