Cosmetic Changes



 Our downstairs guest bathroom underwent some cosmetic changes
Actually, it underwent a major revamp!

From this

To This!!


Let me show you how dysfunctional the old bathroom was!
The sink had no finished piping that was buried to the ground.
You get your feet wet when you wash your hands!
Likewise, the other tap has a dangling hose!
Turn on the tap if you dare!


The most ugly bathroom that you can ever inherit from the previous owner.  How he renovated it to this, boggles the mind!

The raised pedestal had to go! Yikes! Fugly!!
Drilling lines on the wall to hold the floating sink table

Making the sink holder

Reinforced concrete with wire netting

This sink is not cute nor a novelty but it was the perfect size for the pedestal shelf
The raised "kampong" squat much hated cess pool is gone! 

New sewerage pipes

Tiling the floor to match the table

Slowly gaining a semblance 

I cannot envisage what this is nor what it is for
Adding an artsy mirror
To get the coordinated look
A storage cupboard to complete the country look

Potted ferns soften the effect and props are added


Finishing touches
My collection of Christian Dior perfumes (Dune and Jadore) I chose them for the muted browns

Aussino bathroom set and Crabtree and Evelyn scented Azzemour  block candle, fragrance on a tile
Shell shaped soaps from Guardian and shell soap holder from Pangkor Island, and assorted hotel freebies.

Footnote:
Everything was DIY, nothing was professionally done and it was a ONE MAN SHOW!!!!

Free Fish and Chips


Went to redeem my free fish and chips here:
Actually for dine in only, but the boy kindly let me take away

See, he packed it so nicely for me

To share with my daughter

So YUMMY! and CRISPY! and piping HOT!!!

Took out everything from the box

Finger licking good

Even had free iced lemon tea while I waited for the boy to pack my chips!

A good catch indeed!!!

SACROSANCT

From Layar Burok

“What is so sacrosanct about gender?


“These are changes in the body.

 Only the person knows what he or she is going through.

“It is arrogant to say we know better"

“Bit late isn't?

 We could have saved her with less hypocrisy

 and a bit of kindness. What say u Minister?”

 in response to a report in a Malay newspaper that Ashraf should not be humiliated.

Man Trapped in Woman's Body


This is Chastity Bono, the daughter of Cher and Sonny Bono. Cher is the sexy actress in "Burlesque". Now Chastity has become Chaz Bono.


Proud mother: Cher (can you beleive she is 64?) and Chaz at her hand and footprint ceremony in Hollywood and, above, Chaz when he was Chastity. Cher was 'unbelievably cool' about his transformation, said Chaz


Thrilled:Chaz/Chastity Bono underwent breast removal surgery as part of his sex change, but has no plans to go under the knife again


 My body betrayed me':Chaz  Bono told Oprah about his terrible teenage years
Now he wants to talk to Shiloh, the daughter of Brat Pitt and Angelina Jolie who likes to dress like a tomboy!

My Friend's Hybrid Car


When I was in Batu Pahat last school holidays, my friend had a new car: a Honda Insight, (hybrid car), she used to drive a black Mercedes.


My classmate (in red) parked it outside the "small" wet market, the market I used to go when I was young (to get the day's fresh produce), with this market just a few shops away, we did not need a freezer!


While she was marketing, I shot her car 

She is one step ahead of me, I was thinking of replacing my Unser

Shopping Spree

At the shopping complex, what did I see?

This man helping his wife to carry COACH paperbags!!!
They bought so many!

I can could only afford 1!!!!
And my husband and son never help me to carry the bag!

Free Lunch, Free Massage, Free Mani and Pedi

From Pavillion I walked over to the summer party.

Lots of FREEBIES!!!

Walking across the street was not a problem, it was so busy and so happening!

The party atmosphere with "hitam Kuning" balloons

Refreshments and Food!

Food Galore, I like the Thai mango vermicelli

chow time here

After food, time for my free massage

This place used to be on the top floor and was known by a different name

The old place had jacuzzis, hot and cold tub and saunas

After massage, time for my mani and pedi

So, I had the most pleasant weekend, did you enjoy yours?
And of course there was a doorgift!

August Already!!!
