With the start of the long weekend and the SIL returning to her hometown in Malaysia with the family, we were to enjoy the much missed peace and quiet in the house.

We started the day meeting Jeremy & family, Jerry & family as well as M at my father's grave. We usually spend about 10-15 minutes there, pulling out weeds as per customary. Then we went off to the market near Jerry's for lunch. While K went off to Jerry's place with them after lunch, Jeremy, Ivy, Tim and M dropped by our currently renovated place to take a look. 

The only people who have seen it pre-reno are the PILs. Anyhow, the hubs and I are liking the look of our kitchen tiles. The bathroom wall tiles are partially up as well but the floor tiles for the kitchen, bathrooms, balcony and storeroom are not laid yet. The hubs reckons that the house will look nice once it's done. Well, just by looking at our kitchen wall tiles, I tend to agree with him. *fingers crossed*

After that, Tim followed the hubs and I to buy stuff for the house while his folks went back home. Tim hasn't gone out with us in ages but then again, he's no longer a teen and has his own circle of friends. So it was a nice change to have him with us. 

Anyhow, we spent about 2 hours in the shop recommended to us by the contractor and indeed, the sales person gave us quite a good price. We spent about $5k and have bought almost everything that we need to. I've chosen the same Japanese brand of hob and hood that we were using previously and this time, I've decided to get their oven too. Hopefully, this time I can make use of it baking cakes.

When we were done, we dropped Tim off where he was going to meet his friends while the hubs and I returned to Jerry's to have dinner as well as pick K up. With such a long day especially for her playing at Jerry's, she knocked out again on our drive back.
