Friday the Fifteenth

One phrase to describe the moving in process today -- "Murphy's Law" - "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong".

Anyway, my brother and I are excited enough we forgot to be upset (hati tak upset, tapi mulut membebel kat orang-orang yang berkenaan just so that they don't repeat the same mistake to other people - lagipun seronok marah orang when you have the right to do so.. haha). So far yang paling reliable hari ni adalah Allied Pickford team, tapi kena tengok lagi la esok macam mana pulak diorang buat kerja.

Malam ni last kat FPKL ni... will be quite far from the city and office but more in touch with reality.. whatever reality is. At the moment, the reality is I'm going to live in a mess for the next few days. Mana saja la labu...

game plan

In my work, everytime we are about to drill a well, we'll do the drilling or logging well on paper exercise, where we will engaged all the parties involved to sit down and discuss what are the requirements needed to accomplish a successful operation.

So far, I have engaged the "tuan rumah" and I've already known what level of readiness they're on for tomorrow. The contractors will still be doing work on the kitchen hence I would not be able to unpack my kitchen stuffs, meaning I have to do it myself some other day. The furniture shops will do the delivery also on the same day with my movers, so I have to ensure that not so many people have to work on assembling the things in the same room / space.

This is what I came up with. Poyo tak? :P

COLOR PSYCHOLOGY IN INTERIOR DESIGN


Color is a key component of interior design. When selecting colors for your home, you’re naturally drawn to certain colors because of the way they make you feel. Color has even been shown to produce a physical response. Consider interior design color psychology when you plan a room's color scheme.


Read through this information. It just might help you set the appropriate mood for your indoor space.


BLUE, the color of ocean and sky, is the overwhelming "favorite color." Blue is seen as trustworthy, dependable, and committed. It’s a popular color for bedrooms and is often used to decorate offices. Many bedrooms are blue because it's calm, restful color. It is also described as peaceful, tranquil and secure. It’s also interesting to note that it is considered the safest global color. Blue can easily be paired with many other colors and is therefore a common choice in a color scheme. Blue is also considered to be a clean color, so it works well in bathrooms and laundry areas. It seems to work less well in kitchens however.




YELLOW shines with laughter, happiness and good times. A person surrounded by yellow feels optimistic. But be careful with yellow, when intense. Because yellow will advance from surrounding colors, in its pure form yellow can be overwhelming. Yellow tends to cause more eye fatigue than any other color. It is the color of flames and studies show babies cry more in (bright) yellow rooms.


GREEN represents nature, environment, growth, health, and youth. The natural green is seen as tranquil and refreshing, with a natural balance of cool and warm (blue and yellow) undertones. Green is very versatile in working with other colors as it is in nature. It’s often used in decorating for its calming effect. It is also the color associated with envy, good luck, generosity and fertility. It is the traditional color of peace.



RED is the warmest and most energetic color in the color spectrum. Red is used to stimulate the body and mind, and increase circulation. If you want to draw attention, use red. Although not the choice for a calm environment, it is often used in dining areas to stimulate conversation and add to the excitement of the room. It's absolute the wrong color for a baby's room but perfect to get people excited. Red is not a good color to over use but using a spot of red in just the right place is smart in some cases. It can be very elegant and add a lot of character to a color scheme – both traditional and contemporary.




PURPLE is considered exotic because it appears rare in nature. It represents royalty, nobility, spirituality and mystery. Purple embodies the balance of red's stimulation and blue's calm. Some tones of violet can be quite intense, but pastel lavenders can give a very fresh, uplifting feel to a room. With a sense of mystic and royal qualities, it is associated with wealth, prosperity, rich sophistication. This color stimulates the brain activity used in problem solving. Young adolescent girls are most likely to select purple as their favorite color.




PINK is associated with youthful, fun, and exciting. Pink is the color of happiness and is sometimes seen as lighthearted. Think of pink as the color of romance, love, and gentle feelings. Pink also is the true color of love.




ORANGE, a close relative of red, is the color tied most this fun times, happy and energetic days. It is also associated with ambition. There is usually strong positive or negative association to orange and true orange generally elicits a stronger "love it" or "hate it" response than other colors. Pure orange may work well in a contemporary setting but often doesn't sit well in a traditional one. Used in kitchens and dining rooms, orange shades can be very comfortable.




BROWN says stability, reliability, friendship, and approachability. It is the color of our earth and is associated with all things natural or organic. It also tends to be soothing and comfortable. Browns wear well and are good for rooms that get a lot of use like family rooms. Browns also work well with spicy or warm colors.




BLACK is thought to represent power, strength, elegance, mystery and wealth. It is also the color associated with intelligence. It’s also stylish and timeless, and a beautiful accent color to use in interior design. Black is a serious color that evokes strong emotions. It is easy to overwhelm people with too much black. Black used with a mix of white and brights often looks very modern.



WHITE, whereas, projects purity and cleanliness. It is a compression of all the colors in the color spectrum. It is also used to project the absence of color, or neutrality.



GREY is the color of intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. It is perceived as long-lasting, classic, and often as sleek or refined. It is a color that is conservative and carries authority. Grey is considered a color of compromise, perhaps because it sits between the extremes of black and white. Grey is a perfect neutral, which is why designers often use it as a background color. But too much grey leads to feeling mostly nothing; but a bit of grey will add that rock solid feeling.


hmmMmmMmMM... am thinking to do my living hall in yellow-dark brown theme, play room is going to be red and white... itu jela yang dah decide... my own room am contemplating to be either black or grey... hahahaha... kitchen takleh nak buat apa... tengok jela nanti tuan rumah pasang cabinet kaler apa.. am moving on Friday and really looking forward to it... but at the same time, bersedia jelah untuk pening kepala and sakit badan.. huhu

P/S: I want to buy some potted plants...tak nak beli yang kecik-kecik coz kalau I yang jaga memang tak sempat la pokok tu nak besar... kat mana ek yang reasonable?

excited nak pindah rumah

Actually, I had a bad week/weekend... dah tulis half dah citerr, tapi malas nak sambung balik... so mari cerita pasal excited nak masuk rumah baru... huhu (though the house will not be fully ready when we move in our things, lantakla malas nak tensen2)..

I think I really have to get my act together, organize myself and be ready for my move. As most of the furnitures in my old Miri house are either hand-me downs or things that I bought on a budget, I had a fun / tiring time shopping for furnitures etc... best gakla...

I've prepared a spreadsheet with things that I need and the planned budget then I compare it against actual... some of the things ngam-ngam je harga dengan apa yg dah dibudgetkan, some is slightly overbudget and some tak sampai half pun harga actual dengan what was budgeted, which is good sebab rupanya ada few important items that I forgot to include in my budget, like mattress for the guest bed, curtains (lots of windows) and I don't know what else that might come up.

Didn't really buy a lot, since I brought some stuffs from my Miri house (am renting out my place 75% furnished).. most of the things like my new couch pun beli kat Miri since rotan/jati furniture kat KL mahal... yang lain-lain I just buy from LDP Furniture Mall je...senang...  langsir buat kat Nilai 3.. huhu... I did it in a shop nama MK apa ntah... okeyla... the sales assistant look like he knows what he's talking about, kedai tu punya display pun nampak elok.. and they have a decent selection of materials... boleh siap dalam 2 jam pulak tu... tapi I buat French pleats je...simple, lagipun rumah sewa je pun, bukan rumah sendiri..

I had a concept in mind tapi tak taula jadi ke tak nanti... haha... serabut tapi tetap excited... can't wait to get out of this box... and to those who thinks living smack in the Golden Triangle ni best... erm,think again.. rimas adalah kot for me yang kampung ni... hehehe.. rasanya end of May pun belum tentu lagi habis unpack/kemas rumah though... so housewarming tu tunggu lah ye... :)
