It had been a while since the last time I updated my blog.

Recently, I was quite busy with my work and my new house.

I was supposed to get the keys for my new house last month but the defects were not fixed yet.

I had been travelling back and forth from my hometown to workplace for the last few weeks as I had stopped renting the room in Kelana Jaya.

I hope the new house will be ready by this month so that I can do renovation and buy furniture.

Above are the photos of my design using this FREE interior design software I got from the Internet.

It is an easy software to use.

There are a lot of tutorials that are available on the Internet.

There are also a lot of furniture libraries on the Internet and in their main website @ http://www.sweethome3d.com/importModels.jsp.

I just went through half of the video tutorial on the Youtube @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmgl9ggKHzg and was able to design already.

Some of the colors for the furniture do not meet my requirement and the default color of the doors seems to be not very nice but I decided to place my furniture as in the photos above.

I hope I could find the furniture with the right colors and at reasonable price ;)

I really wish I could move into this house soon as it is tiring to travel every day.

Please leave some comments on whether the design is all right or give some suggestions on the parts that can be improved :)

Bad News

My cousin had a brain operation last Thursday because there was a tumor. Her condition was stable after operation. However, her condition became unstable last few days. My mother told me that my cousin was unconscious. My mother said she wanted to come to Petaling Jaya after work today to see my cousin but later she said the visiting hour would be over by the time she reached there from my hometown. Thus, my uncle told my mother no need to rush there and should come after his daughter became stable. Later, I received a bad news during the evening. My mother called me again to tell me that my cousin had passed away. I was shocked. It was not fair for my cousin. My cousin was still young. She was just thirty plus. Her daugther is just 2 years plus this year. Suddenly I felt that life is short! At that moment, I told myself I should not feel sad or frustrated over some small matters. I should appreciate the people around me and live happily even I was still single and did not have many friends right now. I should be grateful that I was still alive.
