Home sweet home

In June 2007 I was tipped off by my neighbour of a two-room apartment that was being built nearby. After a little stumble (someone had reserved it before me) I got it for myself. The building is finished in the first quarter of 2008 — but of course I’m going to go on and on about it before the move.

This category is in “Once in a Lifetime” category because this is my first apartment.

Oh yeah, sorry about my terminology. I own it so it’s a condominium. :)

Enough with the kitchen drawers!

As much as I love living by myself, I’m finding it very difficult to get used to living in an apartment building.

And Dad said, Let there be light: and there was light in a trusty old department store. And Minna saw the light, that it was good. (…)

Minna’s been cooking again…

Oven is a dangerous thing, you know. I can’t remember a lot of times when I haven’t burned myself on the upper edge while putting something in or taking something out of the oven. (…)

My bed (who cares about that) and my TV stand (!!!) finally arrived! Now I don’t have to stare at the floor while watching TV! (…)

Close, but no cigar

Now the sofa is here (it came 45 minutes early, around 8:30 pm) and it’s lovely!! (…)

The sofa is coming, the sofa is coming!

Finally I received a call from the furniture store (on a Sunday morning, strange) telling me that my sofa was ready and waiting in the storage. They’re delivering it on Tuesday night.
Hurraah! (…)

Food, furniture, and computer woes

:: Thursday, Jun 19th 2008 @ 22:55 :: Home sweet home ::

I’m not dead. I just managed to blow something up inside my computer so I haven’t been able to use it fully for a long time. Being without a computer (at home) has been kind of refreshing. (…)

What I learned yesterday

Yesterday I made some spinach macaroni casserole and realised some things…
If you’re not sure about an ingredient, google it! (…)

I baked

Mother’s day is coming up and my parents are supposedly going to visit tomorrow (two unrelated events). That’s why I decided to try and bake something. (…)

Bare essentials
