Long overdue... Posted by Another Boo Boo by Bachie , Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at Wednesday, May 25, 2011, in Labels: blog, decor

I've moved to my new house since last November but I never got around doing what I was supposed to do in a jiffy - decorating it. I could conveniently blame it on the fact that I'm taking an Executive MBA course now but truth be told, I have been busy socializing with my newfound circle of friends.

Hanging out with these friends reminds me fondly of the days when I was still hanging out with another group of friends whom I acquainted through ICERED.com. Years later, except for my hubby, I have not seen most of the people since the group drifted apart in 2004. Sad but true. Friends do have a shelf life especially when your so-called friends are in fact acquaintances whose 'companionship' was never meant to last anyway.

Enough said. Life is too short to have it dribbled away. While I don't foresee maintaining long-term relationships with all of these friends, I hope some will eventually turn out to be my friends for life. So far, I have identified some of them whom I really wanna keep close to my heart and in my life until one of us lie on our deathbeds :p

Digressing, here are some photos of my not-so-new place to share...more photos will be shared as soon as I find time and energy to take them...Ha!


TGIW! Enjoy your week, peeps. :)

Dressing up the Living Room Posted by Another Boo Boo by Bachie , Monday, July 12, 2010 at Monday, July 12, 2010, in Labels: decor

I've been scratching my head for some inspiration to do up the living room of my soon-to-be new home. Lately, I kinda fancy the look of a black & white french/venetian inspired home. I may not be able to fully achieve the look due to budget constraint...but what the hell, just go with the flow and my FEEL...Did a mock up (an ugly one at that) of one side of the living room. Let me know what you think, k. If it's ugly, feel free to speak :)

Before:

After:

Please allow me to clarify...I don't have proper designing tools (even if I have, I won't know how to use) to express my thoughts...so I used PAINT software to create this makeshift mock up. The black thing straight ahead is going to be a dark mirrored chest of drawers. Above it, is going to be a mirror...on the chest of drawer, I am thinking of displaying 2 silver candle stands (of different height), 1 white colour bird cage and 1 black laquer lamp, probably plus a pot of orchid if space permits. The white stuff at the side of the chest is supposed to be a chair. Preferably one that is french looking. to the other side of the chest is a pot of indoor plant. Next to the indoor plant, I intend to paint (scribble-paint) a black/white/grey themed artwork on canvas.

What do you think? Should I leave the hallway clean or should I make it look busy? I kinda like my idea, do you?

Verdict is out... Posted by Another Boo Boo by Bachie , Monday, July 5, 2010 at Monday, July 05, 2010, in Labels: decor

The moment is finally here. B and I signed the option to purchase. Now we're just waiting for the seller to sign on the dotted line too.

Here's a sneak peak to the house that charmed B & I...

Are local celebs, celebs? Posted by Another Boo Boo by Bachie , Sunday, January 3, 2010 at Sunday, January 03, 2010, in Labels: decor

Do you suppport local celebrities? Well,....I don't but I respect some of them for their talents and humour.

One of them is Bryan Wong. Don't think he's siao siao man in person just because he's siao siao on screen. Judging from his blog (www.bryanwong.sg), this man is actually more melancholic than anyone else. I guess his melancholic self is needed to balance his crazy persona on TV.He's also quite talented. Sometimes I wish I know this man personally. Not because he's a celeb, but because he genuinely seems like a nice friend to have.

I particularly like his taste and penchant for interior designing. If you have never caught an episode of Home Decor on Channel 8, check out some of the before-and-after photos taken by Bryan. I'm sure after seeing them, you will go wahhhhh...

If you like his work, visit his blog regularly for weekly updates.
