Room transformation (Part 1)

It's a room improvement month for me. First weekend was buying and fixing the air cond. Second weekend was about concealing and painting. Sigh. I'm not satisfied with this developer. After staying about 3 years, crack lines can be seen. It increases over the years. It's like those hidden *treasures* buried underneath started to surface. From hair line cracks to bigger cracks. Obviously, the developer is cheating on us on the material that they used. Some were caused by the development next to my apartment. It's no use to regret, but trying my best to make it better. My work started off with a huge plate of home made spagetti.


I spent the whole Saturday concealing almost the 4 walls of my room. Tough job.








Due to the uncountable crack lines, William decided to put a little bit of design, but with a term & condition - it's the first trial. Keep it if you like it, paint it if you don't like it. Fine. I accepted his kind offer. If it's a nice design, I guess I'll focus more on the design rather than the crack lines. Cool. I'll give it a shot. Hmm must learn to like my room.

Sunday was a really long tiring day for me. I must admit that I'm aging. Each time of re-filling the paint, I rested 5-10 minutes. I felt so tired and fainting. It was a no surprise that I didn't manage to finish painting 4 walls. I'll take leave to work on it.

Haha, you are such a perfectionist.

Maybe it'll look nice after you paste the cracks and add some design of little trees and branches using a darker colour compare to the background.

Ed: Hmm... perfectionist? Not sure about that. Just want to do it once and for all.

Kim: William designed a bare tree with branches. Haha. I told him a want a cherry tree. And he said its abit hard. He prefered a bare tree saying that my air-cond is so powerful that it's always winter in the room. Hence, the tree is without leaves - too cold to grow.
