The "island" was not in our original plan...that was Duan's last minute idea...and better still, he suggested for the stove to be on the island, thus we can cook from both side...tak ke brilliant tu? Brilliant sangat kan? Dia kan ada darah darah chef sikit so that's how the idea came about kot :)Kita concrete aje cabinet bawah. The table top , initial plan is to use granite but granite costs a fortune jugak so we replaced with tiles which looks like granite tapi nampak lah keping keping nya....kalau granite dia datang custom made sekedebuk nampak cantik lagi lah....but we'll live with that...no problem at all....
The kitchen tiles yg kat dinding...initial plan was to use tiles kecik kecik, they are the "in-thing" sekarang ni, kalau buka magazine mmg most kitchen will use that....those tiles, ada ranges of quality...yg murah yg mahal yg campur granite, marble bagai....masalah nya yg berkenan harganya RM40++ per square feet...yg RM16 hinggit tak jugak lawa lawa kat mata aku ni...puas from one kedai to another...tak boleh pergi jugak....
So being me yg always very compromising dalam segala hal...seriously, that's me...one of my best features--i would believe~~ I dont like to pursue devilish desire and afterthat, macam rasa susah and all that....so i decided "hei why must we constraint our choices--just look for something trendy, modern and affordable"...tak payah susah hati...and i saw those tiles we bought....Duan pun setuju, asal black , white , grey~~duan setuju saja....i love the design...macam timbul timbul sikit...
Fixing the tiles alone , both inside the cabinet area and the floor took 2weeks to finish. The cabinet area is quite leceh sebab berlengkok lengkok and 2 tingkat some more...so terbaring lah nak pasang tu...
The floor was quite fast. Tapi tak tahu lah , but it seems to me orang buat tiles memang slow slow--man--man---like nobody businesss! In the spirit, "biar lambat asal cantik"...we play along with their phase....tak kacau sangat :)---banyak banyak bersabar ...bulan ramadan kan?
Darah dalam badan ni mmg cam pantang aje tgk orang buat kerja slow slow ni....my mom dulu selalu cakap "jangan nak kereme kereme" ...tak tahu how to spell tapi bunyi nya cam tu...javanese for terlembik lembik terlambat lambat...kalau dah keluar phrase tu from my mom, laju lah gerak or just vanish yourself...kalau tak dapat sakit he..he..he..sebab tu kita org tak pernah belajar masak...my mom tak daya tengok org terkial kial biar dia buat sorang, cepat , kemas dan wallah ...siap!Finally, done....tomorrow kita pasang cabinet, banyak lagi kerja mengemas..Bibik pun dah tak de mood nak masak kat dapur lama....bibik tak de mood , akak lagi lah...tu yang kerja buka kat luar ajer ni....ok sambung nanti...adios!.

kitorang pun baru extend wet kitchen... yg dulu kecik, masuk 3 orang je dah 'traffic jam'. and like your mom, my mom pun prefer masak sensorang...lagi bnyk tangan lagi lambat siap kata nye. unless for kenduris or raya la...
