Room Makeover

I have prolly talked about the revamping of my room since 2.5 years ago, that’s how long some of you have known me. :p I have been procrastinating, and finally getting my posterior ready to finish what I’ve somewhat started.

After my grandma passed away in February 2005, I took over her room. We’ve been using that room for more storage space thereafter. It’s embarressing to confess, that my entire nuclear family had slept in the same room [with many mattresses] as that was the only room with air-conditioner back in our old home. When we moved to this new house, the female-with-the-same-set-of-parents and I were supposedly sharing a room, but somehow, the bulk of her stuffs took over the room instead.

So eventually all of us bunked in the same room, and some years later, she decided to ‘live on her own’, and took over the shared bedroom as her own. -.-"

When I finally took over my grandma’s room, it was in such a huge mess, there wasn’t even space to put a mattress in, let alone have space to walk!

We’ve had arguments because she was the one who told me to inform her when I want to clean up my room [so that she can do so at the same time, and return me my stuffs]. In the end she went ahead first, and one day I came home to a lot of my stuffs in my new room. I guess it’s basic courtesy that I should get informed about it at least a day in advance?

But it’s thanks to her that I finally get my engine started. I had to, else I’d not have a space to sleep.

The room was completely left untouched for quite sometime after I had my heart broken, afraid that any photos/stuffs would incite some past memories. Kudos to my Mummy for helping to buy the paint for my room [dark blue and purple], and painting the room while I was busy at work. Her painting skills aren’t fantastic, but perhaps it was a good thing we’ve never painted this room before [apart from the time the house was painted in light green by the contractors, before we moved in]. So the light-green color [which looks more like white instead] took very well to the darker colors. :)

I dare not say the same for the other rooms in the house though. =X

Come to think of it, I only took like 2-3 full days to complete the revamp of my room. And my room is officially the nicest in my house! :p The female-with-the-same-set-of-parents is still living in a sty, although her furniture came in months earlier. :p

I’d like to say that I’m an organised person, once my things are organised, I’d seldom mess them up. My sis is a messy person, so even if she cleans up her room, it’ll still get messy eventually. =X

I like my softies, the ones in my top cabinet. Hiak hiak. YAY! Just too bad the hello kitty mouse hasn’t arrived yet, else I’d have taken a photo of the keyboard and mouse [that screams 'BIMBOTIC']. Haha.

I’m a happy girl today! My chair is so comfortable! My room is so cosy! =X Time to remove the plastic sheets from my bed, pillows and bolster. =X Keke.
