Cos Living Day 2!

This is part two of the three-part series on Cos Living! Welcome back!

Alright, so picking up from where we left off. We went to Ikea to grab the furniture needed to revamp the house. Total cost came up to about S$1,300+ but luckily we got Kelly's parents who were kind enough to be our very first customers! They paid for all the furniture plus paint and hardware that we needed to complete our renovations.

We went to lunch at Hong Kong Cafe opposite Ikea Alexandria after the shopping trip. All famished already. We were supposed to finish shopping by 12 noon but ended up finish around 1 plus. Sebastian couldn't join us because he was in China for his company training and ZZ was waiting for us at Boon Keng already. That's why both of them are not in the picture. Actually, come to think of it, there's always at least one member who is missing. Haha.. we hardly have any pictures will all 8 of us inside.

After lunch, we were off to Boon Keng to start our jobs! Bought some paint and starting painting the place up. Our objective today was to paint the Cosy Corner red and paint the door so that it looks more presentable.

As you can see, work was not easy. Luckily for us, Yin Mun was there to save the red wall. The guys were actually in charge of the red wall but due to, ah, lack of experience, we couldn't really do our jobs properly. Yin Mun's a saviour I tell ya. She's skilled in painting, doing up websites, image editting. I'm so glad she's in the same group as me and not someone else's.

We hand-carried some of the furniture from Ikea back to the place. The bulkier items were sent for delivery. Of course, having some furniture there meant that we had to set it up.

There was also drilling that needed to be done. That task was given to ZZ, our handyman!

And of course, we just simply have to take random pictures (cam-whoring!) of as we work. Or else, where's the fun eh!

At the end of Day 2, we managed to achieve our objective of painting the red wall, door, window grills and assembling some of the furniture. Although we finished pretty late (10+pm I think), we were very satisfied with what we've done so far. Work's not over yet though. The bulkier furniture would be arriving in a couple of days and that's when we'll be back again.

That is the story for my next post, Cos Living Day 3 - The Finale! The final completed product (plus lots more random cam-whoring pics!)! Watch this space!!
