Okie this time, Mum and Dad, you both out did yourself... And weiting... thanks for Punking me.

My Sister and my parents punked me... they did.

Because of advice given by a geomancer ... we had to repaint the house and do a few mini renovations. So yar... we had to repaint my beautiful sunrise (orange on the top, blue on the bottom) room.

But when I called home, my sister told me my room needed to be pink... So I almost fainted... to makes matter worst... Mrs Tan confirmed the painters were going to pain my room pink and needed me to clear my room by last Wednesday. Sian.

I wanted to go against that idea... for obvious reasons... but since I think it was Mr and Mrs Tan's house and it would make them happier, I decided to just resign to faith... Sigh.

So on Thursday night, after rushing cultural essay till 1 am, I decided to return home to grab some stuff for Friday's soccer match. Well Ganners came along just in case I fell asleep on the wheel. Along the way I was telling him how much shock I might be to discover my room pink...

But when I stepped into my room... guess what colour was it?

It was white! Woo Hoo! not pink! haha... the best part is: the colour matches the earlier dreams of 'Project White Room'. I always wanted a white room, after having a green, black and the recent sunrise colour room...

And Mr and Mrs Tan, thanks for taking out all the posters and photos... I wouldn't have done it because I just couldn't bare to discard the past... I shall keep those stuff away from the wall and only place stuff that are relevant to me now. Thanks mummy and daddy for cleaning up that messy room.

So I am starting once again from ground zero. And I shall try rebuilt a happier life around this room. It is still far from done... but honestly, I cannot ask for anything better then my new white room. My family Rocks.

Project WHITE ROOM - Update 1

A few full moons ago, I told Ivan that I would clean up my room... well, I decide to begin with that project today. O its called Project WHITE ROOM (not sure why but recently colourful stuff have lost my interests... I only like black and white stuff now... well black is obviously not a good colour cos it 'reduces' the size of your room and its damm hot. so I decided to repaint my room white.)

Project WHITE ROOM will take a few days... over a few months... as it is... now is clean up phase... next week is throw away old stuff phase... then clean up again... the re-organize phase and paint room phase will be in term break. Okie thats the plan... whether it happens or not is another thing.

So to motivate me and ensure I clean up by painting phase... I will blog about my progress (this will be shown with 'before and after' photos)... so I present to you all... Update 1

Update 1
Task: Clean up area that looks dis organized and messy

Report: The starting wasn't easy cause... my room is really in a mess... there is dust everywhere... and many discount coupons, nets receipts, tissue paper and stuffies from god knows when... some date back to 2003.... But then i felt full energized and charge to clean up this ordeal... haha

Case Study 1:

Before the clean up


After clean up

Okie if you cannot see the difference I forgive you... cause my room is still quite messy. Well I took 3 hours to reconfigure my space... and DUST off a lot of stuff. And I threw away lots of trash. And yes... i vacuum my room... after a year of accumulating the dust...

Case Study 2:

Before clean up: Magazines back dating from 2003


After clean up: Reconfiguration to the rescue!


The space which influenced me the most to clean up. I had to clear out all the back dated magazines... so I can easily put my bags underneath the table. This would help me reduce the messiness in the room as I am super prone to throwing my bags all over the place. Now i can throw them under the table and retrieve them with ease! And so now I got some good stuff to give away. ANYONE WANTS: FHM magazines (got a few special editions)? MEN HEALTH magazines? MAGAZINE ORGANIZERS (those in orange and blue underneath the table in the before clean up picture)? Please let me know by next week... cause next week I am going to throw away a lot of shit. haha


Case Study 3:

Before clean up: Can you see the floor?

After clean up: Yes... I have a carpet underneath those trash

Yes, to the highlight of the afternoon, after 2 hours of work... I manage to see my carpet once again... haha. I have been so lost and disorganized, I just dump every 'log, stock and barrel' on the floor. but now i can see the carpet again. Long before, my friends used to enjoy lying on the carpet and would play Playstation 2 from there. But since it got messy I never invited them over again. Well, I think when the Nitendo Wii and Playstation 3 arrive... I will invite people to come hang out again...

O, these are the best example from this week's clean up. Well more is set to come... and then again... I don't know if i will be dead tired next week. And if you would love to help me paint my room... during the holidays, let me know haha... I need a few friends to help me ease the pain/paint haha.

Geez... I really been off with regards to this blog. But then again now is a busy period... will blog more soon.
