Today, I am both happy and worried. Why? Final revision layout for our house has been emailed to me and after getting Jon’s and my specifications right this time, house floor area has reached 496sqm. My oh my! This was unintended and was definitely not in our plan. We were aiming for around 430 to 450sqm only. With just two kids and only Jon and I, this house would be a bit big, don’t you think? More than that, I am worried of the maintenance it would cost us also. Count in budget constraints too! Building a house is way so expensive now I tell you. Way expensive that you won’t even imagine how. Looks like my dream of going Hansgrohe all the way for our bathroom fixtures would end up with an American Standard toilet instead if we give this layout a go. Well, not that there’s something wrong with the latter. I also heard good feed backs about the brand and I think its very practical.

Now I wonder if we should already give this layout a go or if not, a week or two again for a new layout. That would cost so much delay already. We’re aiming to start construction first week of May. Hay …

To start the year 2010 right on track, I got myself a little black book for my reminders to self, to do’s and what-nots. Planners don’t work for me at all so no point of getting one. So far, my little black book is doing me wonders. I am on the 10th page and right on track. For this week, I am happy to see that my to do’s are very few! Just to write a few articles and thanks to my ever reliable wireless router, I can easily accomplish that. I hope I can keep this up. *wish wish!*
