Coming out of the closet


We now have so much shelving space in the closet that we can organise our Tshirts by colour. L says it looks like a Giordano shop. Except, of course, our Tshirts are much cooler. Aloha Stadium Swap-Meet cool. I wonder how long it'll stay this neat and tidy. Still, it's a far cry from a couple of flats ago when we kept our Tshirts in a hamper (OK, it was a rustic nice-looking woven one) because there was no closet.

Murphy's Law of Renovation has finally been invoked. And we thought we could get by with a problem-free reno. It all started when the window grilles were being installed. They forgotten the ones in the kitchen. So a guy had to come back to measure up the kitchen windows. Measuring Guy screwed up because when the workmen came huffing and puffing with the grilles on Monday, they found that he didn't make allowance for when two windows meet in a corner. There was a lot of cursing in Hokkien (not from me). Yesterday, they were to have come back. They didn't. More cursing. Not in Hokkien. From me. That's two wasted days of leave I've spent at home waiting for window grilles that didn't materialise. Turned out they had a road accident. So now they'll attempt to come and install then next Tuesday. Third time lucky, I hope.
