24 Sept 2008 : Tinted film
CC finally called up the contractor to change the tinted film from the 8% to 20% visible light transmittance with the same heat reflectance.
PL went to see the impact after the contractor put on the 8% tinted film because CC informed that it was kind of dark. We went there in the morning, afternoon and evening for a few times that we decided to change it.
The feeling of staying in a dark environment even during day time was uncomfortable for us. Some people might like it but we were not.
Just imagine we needed to switch on the light even during day time ! If not, we needed to open all the windows. It would defeat the purpose of installing the tinted film then. With the 20% visible light transmittance, we could enjoy the visible light without opening the window. If we did not intend to switch on the air con, we also did not have to open all the windows or sliding doors but a few should be sufficient to have natural ventilation with the fan switched on.
Thus, whoever consider installing tinted film, do ask on the visible light transmittance.

14 Sept 2008 : Lantern festival celebration
The apartment management office organized a lantern festival celebration at the pool side. We were charged RM5 per person. The kid got the door gift package while each of us also was distributed with a package of fried rice / mee siam + soybean + fried chicken.The programmes were interesting but we left earlier because little CY was sick and CC was not interested in any of the events. The programmes included Latern puzzle (猜灯谜), children traditional clothes competition, dance, chinese instrumental show, etc.

13 Sept 2008 : Lantern Festival meet up
The place was not easily found. It was at Mutiara Rini and isolated from the main road. CC was pissed off with the uncleared direction given.
13 Sept 2008 : AH
The progress of the house renovation was almost completed if without considering the built-in furniture.....
Last Tuesday, the contrator started the grille & laminating film work, without informing CC. He was quite mad on it since he would like everything to be discussed again and made it clear prior any commensing of jobs. It would be win-win situation that not much touch up was required later on. Worse still, the laminating film was not pasted with good workmanship. CC instructed to stop all jobs till the touch up was completed for laminating film. There were also some minor touch up needed for the fence & grille - some edges were not coated and it would cause rusting in the future.
Initially, we thought the polycarbonate would darken the interior, but it was not. Instead, it was those laminating film causing the house to be not as bright as previous. We were uncertain if we selected the appropriate clarity and reflective index. Thus, we might need to consult the contractor.
Basically, we just left - grille for interior, built-in furniture, alarm system, lightings and grass. The built-in furniture was actually the bottleneck. Lightings would be installed after the built-in furniture while the grass would be planted after we moved in.

09 Sept 2008 : Busy
We were pretty busy these 2 weeks - house renovation thingy, sourcing for dining table / sofa, housework, grocery shopping and routine errands.
At the same time, we were sick. Most of us could not escape from CY's virus when he was having severe flu, including his 舅舅.
The painting was completed last Saturday. However, CC noticed some touch up was needed for the bottom of the walls painted with mocha mauve.
Initially, we were not comfortable with the orangy galaxy of the exterior wall. Now, it looked better and better. And the tone changed with the brightness of the daylight and the shower of sunlught. We should extend our gratitude to the painting boss who was good in paint colour matching. He in fact, insisted us to use the galaxy.
Since the built-in furniture could only be fabricated at end of September, we would have more time to make other arrangement.

03 Sept 2008 : PL 1st MC
PL has never taken any MC throughout her working life.
Today, she went to see the inhouse doctor for her "sore throat". It was not exactly the throat but at the end of oral cavity whereby the uneasiness urged PL to visit the inhouse clinic. She was then prescribed with paracetomol, cough syrup (expectorant), dexchlorpheniramine, lysozyme hydrochloride & dexxon lozenges. The industrial nurse took a look at the medicine and suggested her to rest at home since the medicine would make PL felt sleepy.
PL did feel sleepy even prior taking any medicine. Thus, she agreed to opt for the one day MC. She slept for 2 hours after taking the medicines.
The rain started to pour when she was still asleep. It got heavier and heavier in the afternoon. At 4pm, the umbrella was no longer able to shield anyone from getting wet.

02 Sept 2008 : Both were sick..!
31 Aug 2008
Yeow & CL arrived at 2pm plus. Little CY was hungry, thus we shared one plate of chicken rice & one plate of char koay teow at AH. The char kuoy teow was terrible. But little CY finished at least half of the chicken rice. We brought Yeow & CL to 圆缘园. CL liked the food there.
CY's flu made us running out of idea where to go. The day was spent in Lorenzo, had a scenic drive, followed by Permas JJ before we had dinner at Don Sushi. We had hard time feeding little CY dinner. He was not as active as normal, but still active. *sigh*
We called off the day earlier since we were all tired. We all slept at around 9-10pm.
01 Sept 2008
The day started with breakfast at Lautan. As usual, we made a trip to AH. We were wondering if we should buy the 5 feet round dining table or looked for 4.5 feet round dining table since the dining area was not spacious after installing the built in cabinet.
The trip to JJ tebrau city was inevitable. Little CY was sleepy and dozed off in the car with his daddy headed back to AH. We waited for CC at the roadside to fetch us.
Yeow & CL left at around 3pm. They made a detour to Melaka for dinner.
Both PL & CY was sick. PL was having sore throat while CY was still coughing & having flu.
02 Sept 2008
PL called up auntie for breakfast. We had a quick breakfast at Ah Boon with Ah Po. Auntie looked wary, probably due to the canteen operation.
Little CY did not have his nap in the morning, but PL did ! They visited the newly opened Danga City Mall. Little CY dozed off on their way back. It was fun to have time with little CY. It turned out good, rather than PL imagined !
