the tribute

Back again...hahaha my housemates will have to bear my writing..again & again..I'm not feelin' well..so probably it will be a short & sweet entry ...this piece of writing is dedicated to the one whom we called..'The Logistic Minister cum Treasurer'..the main person who responsible for the 'shock make over' of the house...

The challenge of 107 house posed to all architecture and design students will be so obvious...WE DON'T HAVE MONEY TO RENOVATE OR DECORATE...full stop..nobody dares to say anything...the best comment we got from an archi student was...'everything was slanted..the wall, floor, door..or probably the 'heart' too (that'll be discussed in the next issue :))..

It's indeed an eco challenge....and surprisingly..an archi student who lives in this house(who probably has her own reason to live in 107) manage to take up the challenge...all by herself..REPEAT ...all by herself..

She may not win any best design (well not yet inshaAllah)..but this is one of her P & C project in Melbourne...She is a living proof that an archi student can survive in a total impaired design house..and ...change a challenge into an opportunity..She knows all the things..ALL..in the cabinet..store room..internally n externally..name it..she knows every junk in the house...(I always wonder whether she knows my junkie)..

Yesterday, she did it again..new arrangement of furniture..photo frames...At 11 pm...you could hear someone was hammering a nail to a wall!..probably, our dear neighbors would bitterly comment 'crazy malaysian gals'...Deep inside, I just knew she won't stop...

The result: the house is no longer suit for single ladies..it's being upscaled to 'rumah tok penghulu'..the house of a headman..and this morning, when I walk out from the toilet..I take my sweet time passing thru the living room...the curtain is so clean & new..butterflies are all over it..the flowers in the vase..the dining table looks so inviting..we even have cover on our coffee table..and it matches to the color of the vase!impressive..

It's hard to give an appropriate token of appreciation for her hardwork..it may never will equate the energy, love & attention given..but this writing is solely for you..please welcome her first public appearance..DALINA...thank you for making our house beautiful..

p/s:a big thank for nazida for the help & effort (we are proud 2 say she's a businesswoman now..alhamdulillah)
