After numerous phone calls to housing agents and countless visits to potential houses, it was such a relieve when we finally found a suitable shelter which could possibly be our home for the next 2 yrs a least. It is an unfurnished semi detach house which has 4 rooms. Mind you, this house aint cheap.
My room is the corner room on the top floor. Sneak peak into my room reveals the full capacity of my kiamsiapness.

No money put grille and curtain. Alternatively, stick sugar paper on all windows

My room
My wardrobe is made out of then cheapest linen you could possibly find in the market.DIY cloth line to hang towel or clothings which might not fit into that miserable wardrobe.
Chun wah's room
Just look at that magnificent oakwood wardrobe. Doesn't it remind you of the movie, The Chronicles of Narnia where the 3 siblings stumbled upon this humongous wardrobe and later found themselves in another world. i wonder whether his is similar.
My room
Definitely not the best workstation, but it's adequate to get things done, such as posting this blog.
My room
Introducing my roommates, Mr Fish and gang. Mr fish and gang could grow up to 1 feet in length and is commonly found in wet markets all around Malaysia.
Nevertheless, it's a great joy having them around.
