Happy New Year 2014

I would like to wish everyone around the world - Happy New Year 2014.
May 2014 be a wonderful year ahead for everyone.

For me, 2013 was a busy and fruitful year and I enjoyed the up and down for the entire year.   The biggest move for 2013 was that we shifted to our new nest and the renovation was also done recently.

I hope for a better year and more time for family.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014

Minor Reno

Minor renovation for car porch is starting tomorrow.  I can't imagine the dust that we going to live in.  Hopefully the weather is good so that it can be completed within the schedule.   According to the contractor it will take 2 weeks to complete (with good weather).  I will have to confirm with the auto gate contractor to come and take the measurement once the pillar is up.

Hope everything will go on as plan.  Finger crossed
