Update @ 16 Jan 08

I have received lots of request to update the blog... really sorry friends. I didn't realise you guys are keeping track..... Thank you for your continued visits to this blog.

Updates to date: 

• not much changes externally to the building itself, but construction of the perimeter concrete fencing has been progressing well.  
  
• internally the ceiling has all been covered with gypsum, and we are hoping the cornices will be installed within the next week or two, after which they will start to paint the interior walls.
  
• Amah's and Guest bathroom wall & floor tiling have been completed, whilst powder room had its wall fully tiled and floor should be tiled in the next week
  
• laundry room has been fully tiled
  
• kitchens (wet & dry) concrete support had been constructed, including the bar table (not for drinking, mind you hehehe). tiling of these areas will be done within the next 2 weeks
• Once all the toilets and kitchens tiling are done, then the whole of groundfloor floor will be tiled.
• Granite! Had driven down to Miri to view (and chosen) the different granites for all the 5 main toilets/bathroom sink top plus the bar table, dry and wet kitchen tops as well as the laundry sink counters. Phew!

Finally, I will have a break this weekend - I don't need to drive up to Bandar or Miri looking for anything. I will have to discuss stuffs with the contractor though but now will be able to play with the kids, especially my youngest Izzan Aaeeshah who just turned 2 last Friday. Birthday party pics will be up on the other gembo blog soon.

Visitors? I have 4 groups of visitors recently, 2 are clients of Henry Ling whilst 2 are finalising their design. If you plan to have a look around, I would suggest that you get in touch with me (email to azmirazak@gmail.com) so I can give you a guided tour, and if possible, do it in the weekends.

Now, enjoy the pics below. Till the next update. To Is, I am also jeles with your bed, chandelier and the big island heheheh.

laundry has been fully tiled

closer view of the top of the concrete fencing

the house compound has slowly been cleared. notice the concrete pillars for the fencing (behind the contractors' quarters)

I love this mosaics! My wife chose this and it blends very well with the wall tile (in the powder room). And I love blue as well :-)
