I have an early breakfast before proceeding to my new house at senja road. We start to remove all the curtains and intend to do a new one for all the bedrooms and living room as well. That is just the starting and we both remove within minutes. Alan even praises me for removing fast and steady. Both his dad and mum are there too. After they have left, we continue our main job of the day. The next thing we do is to lay the newspapers on the floor and secure with masking tape for the painting the next day. Then, we each take a room and try to concentrate. Meanwhile, I have been carrying all the things that are blocking my way to a corner. This makes my job easier. After a few hours passed, we finally covered almost 1/4 of the flat. I believe that nothing is impossible, as long as you have the determination. We continue covering the floor and paying particular attention to mask the tape exactly near the walls. This will assist our painting and we make our jobs easier too. After squatting and standing, we felt somehow thirsty. Alan volunteered to go to the NTUC fairprice near our flat to buy a bottle of mineral water. I went back to work and this may seem as an exercise for me. I felt myself losing calories. Ha ha! I gained back the calories when alan's dad and mum come fetch us for lunch. I ate quite a lot. I supposed I have been too tiring. However, I do not feel so myself. I just find elated to have complete another 1/4 of the flat which means 1/2 of the flat has been done. Then when we are back the flat, we continue with our work. In the meantime, Alan's mum and dad told us that they will be back later to fetch us to buy delux paints and brush and other necessities for painting. Actually, Alan and I have already chosen the colour of the paint at the nippon and delux paint shop near his condo. We have jotted down the code and this will make our purchase faster and may even save on quite a lot of choice making time. Yeah! Then we are back at the house to continue our work... Alan's dad then help us to mend the cracks. And Alan and I joined after we have almost completed covering the whole flat inclusive of the toilets and kitchen. Wow! It's fast and neat job done. We both find a sense of satisfaction and we go on to help his dad mend the crack. Not long, his dad has to go back his condo to set up a waterfall for his pond in the garden. Perhaps, it can help to save some of fishes from dying. It could be the fishes lacking of oxygen in the water. He actually has a very creative idea in using the flower pot to make the water overflow or even flow through a small hole. Smart chap! Back to our flats, we finally finished mending the cracks when the time reached 5.45pm...almost reaching 6pm. We are deadbeat by then and so we proceed to clear up certain mess. I even make a suggestion to alan to label the paint with (living room, bedroom 1, bedroom 2, master bedroom, ceilings). This label is better recognise for his friend who is coming tomolo to help. I believe it will be better for alan and I as well. Instead of looking at the code and we may not be sure what colour is for what room. We get it over and done with quickly. Then we leave our flats ....locking the gates with a lock. Alright! I have done something constructive today. Is it? Then I am back at his house to bathe and have my dinner. At night, I still have to get on with finishing up my cce assignment. A long and tiring day for me...How I wish I can have longer weekends now...?? can I???? ||7:01 PM||
