Creativity makes Life so Fuckin Easier

Prior to 9th July, we had a short post-mortem at our home to collect money to buy a mat for the living room and also some emergency money for the house supplies. Thankfully, everyone was agreeable enough to share a bit of their pocket money.
So, that landed us in a shopping excursion around Jalan Tar and Chow Kit
Liza-san was kind enough to tag along
haha

So, we bought the mat!
Plans of playing chess and dam are still in mind. It gives a very studio-esque feeling doesn't it?
Since this week is Kak Su's turn to clean the house, she took the chance to sweep and mop everything while we watched and giggled in excitement. Well...not so literally but still...

While setting up the floor, we had to move this big guy here.
It gave us quite the problem since even before this it had problems with staying upright. And this baby ain't light as feather either. It weights half of me I bet...
Originally, we had the cooperation of 7 ladies and 1 injured toe to set it up but with only the 4 of us, there was, indeed, more to worry.
It did fall apart, mind you, but Kak Su offered the idea of anchoring both sides with the shelf while we set up the desktop.
Awfully clever idea; we haven't moved the shelf since.

Because of the mat, the shoe area had gotten smaller. We weren't really imagining having the shoes lined up and taking too much space inside the house as it originally did.
So, I came up with this idea instead.
Kak Su brushed up on that idea and instead of the metal railing on the cardboard, it would act as a support underneath.
We've always had problems with those empty bottles. It ate up too much space as well so we increased on the idea and added another level to it.

Here's what it looks on the side. I've never felt so creative in my life.
And we even eliminated about three problems in one go.
It's not pretty but it works; that, my friend, is the most important.

We had extra cardboard so we made another rack out of a longer metal banister.
As I've circled in red in the picture, we used the same method and ended up using all of the unusable bottles.
Alang took down the curtain in the kitchen and used the rope to bind the metal rod with the bottles. It helped keep the stability of the rack.
Having not much purpose left, the curtain was used as a makeshift tablecloth. A pretty one at that.
NOTE: Plastic bottles are not encouraged to be used continously. The most it should be used is probably 5 times in my opinion but regularly recycle it or buy a more suitable drinking container.
*ahem*

See? Now we only have 3 of the big water bottles that we're using as drinking water containers. We've also placed the small mat here.
It used to be in the living room area because we wanted to avoid cold tummies while we watched TV or did our work and study.

Why not kill two birds with one awesome stone, amirite?
So we cleaned and arranged the kitchen. Nothing creative here.
but we killed an awesome bunch of coakroches! Like a bloody hell lot!
...wait, I shouldn't mention that...

Not to be outdone, Nee-san forced me to clean our room. We arranged a few stuff , swept and cleared the dust bunnies out and certain parts of the room look bright and so on~
Nee-san has a stuffy nose now though...
