lights on please!

Am so excited!Tak sabar nak pindah balik rumah sendiri. Living between boxes is definitely not my cuppa. I need my clothes to be properly hung in wardrobes, plates and pots in to be properly stacked in kitchen cabinets and boxes do not have to double as meja :D

Target mid December, InsyaAllah.

But first. Fixed electrical items -  Fans, aircond, lamps, switches, water-heaters dan yang sewaktu dengannya. Tebby is very much an organised person. He did a detailed list as above - what and where. The size, watt, type of bulb and all. And he drew a budget that we need to stick to.

My task?
Yang, yang ni elok letak kat tangga.
Yang, 3 gang, no?
Lampu gantung nak? Ke tak mau?
Aaaaa... yang porch tu ambik yang tu, simple. Bulat silinder aje.
Alaaaa... kipas ni lagi cantik.
Kat porch better ada wood finish.


Beli kat CIMA Lighting, literally kat belakang rumah je. Dekat, senang nak pegi beli. Senang nak tambah kalau tak cukup. Senang nak tukar kalau silap. Sebelum ni dah survey. Attended by Saiful. First time kami survey-survey je. Saiful ni gigih ikut we all dari floor ke floor walaupun tau we all tak nak beli. I guess it pays of for him sebab masa bebetul nak beli tu, we looked for him and he secured his sales :D 

OMG! Cute-ness! Nasib takde anak-anak yang tahap umur tengah gila bebenda gini. Seen at Phillips Center kat dalam CIMA tu. Now Phillips tak jual just bulb aje, dah diversify jual lampu as well. Design sumer kena dengan taste ai. Bajet aje yang tak kena. 

More Phillips. Anyway, we opted for mostly down-light. Simpler and lesser things to argue on hihi. Tempat yang tak guna downlight, we opted for simple-lines, straight cut, low maintenance design. Cam porch tu, just cylindrical kinda design. We do an open carcass/exposed beam. The structure should be the limelight. Light can take a backseat, so to speak. Tapi Yang, ai nak kipas cam ala-ala wood finish tau << sempat lagi tu. I know he reads my blogs. 


Owwwww... cuteness overdose. Seen in Phillips center at CIMA.

Designs yang kelompok belah kanan are so me. Suka! Suka! I have always believed in love at first sight when buying things. Kelompok kanan lampu barisan belakang sekali yang tengah. Suka tapi takde stok. Tukar shape square, with same design, edged with wood-finish. 

Do you dare?

We spent longer time that expected. Ingatkan dalam sejam dua dah setel. Indeed we spent 3 jam choosing lampu, water heater and kipas. Tu pun kipas KIV dulu. Need to bring along the contractor sebab ada satu part tu low ceiling, not sure which and what kind of kipas to buy. Result 3 jam tu, sakit tengkuk mendongak huhu. But happy as one part dah taken care off. Aircond dah mintak contractor carikan. Bagi specs and requirement aje.

And balik rumah, realized that ada point yang terlupa nak beli lampunya. Plus ada lampu yang tak masuk dalam bil. Adeh..
