OMG moments

Due to work commitments, I hadn't been down to the flat in over a week, and as always, there are already new things going on. So, I had a couple of "OMG" moments when I finally found the time to go down on Sat.

OMG moment #1 - three walls were pink. Yes, PINK. Ok itz known as "peach melba" but pink is pink huh. They were supposed to be "buttercream" - yes, as in the kind you find on cakes. My fav kind of cream. And, um, the pink looked really strange next to the yellow...the painters had better get the colour right. I am so not living in a house with pink walls.

OMG moment #2 - Big had wanted an orange wall in the dining; Paul had reciporcated with a rather bold suggestion that the entire dining be in orange instead. So, we went for that. The effect was, to quote Ms Singapore World 2009, rather BOOMZ. Orange is supposed to stimulate appetite, so be prepared to dine in an orange womb when you come over.

OMG moment #3 - the lights were all up. The ones in the living look particularly good. Very "studio apartment" as Big put it. The big fancier one in the bedroom also looked pretty good, thanks to the incandescent light bulbs, becos we want a dimmer for that. (I didn't even know there were incandescent light bulbs). I barely noticed the star patterns on the light in *my* room - was too distracted by the lights in the living room.

OMG moment #4 - the toilet lights and switches were all over the place. Well, first, the fancy lights Big chose for the bath and toilet did look nice. BUT, the light in the bath (which is on the left side) was linked to the switch on the right side, and vice versa. AND the light for the toilet (already linked to the switch on the opposite side) flicked up for "off" and down for "on"...itz one of those *smack forehead* moments, which brings to mind what my poor long-suffering colleague had to go thru with not one, but TWO stupid event partners recently.

OMG moment #5 - the wall fan in Big's room stopped at "1" and wouldn't go any more powerful...fortunately Giant has a 7-day exchange policy, so Big carted it back to them, and they were suitably embarrassed by the fact that it was faulty without even being used.
