new year resolutions

need to find alternative resolutions if my cashflow remains to be non-existent D: else, it should have consisted of going for courses haha.

anyway, i am resolved to (nearly) single-handedly do a budget makeover of my entire apartment before chinese new year! the place is in BAD NEED of being spruced up. probably will be damn good practice before my university term starts, hoho. and i do hope to invite friends over for gatherings, till now i never dared 'cause of the sad state of the house haha!

already at the brainstorming stage of the Big Plan. realised it's actually really, really hard to place any appliance (tv, piano etc.) that requires electricity in the most pleasing manner (function, aesthetics - especially to hide the cables neatly). gah. plus, some of the furniture are in conflicting colours!!! most of the furniture my parents bought are in slight variations of dark brown (reddish dark brown, plain dark brown). luckily, my piano is also dark brown in colour.

and there's the ugly tiles in the balcony, kitchen and toilets. worst are the full irremovable bedroom installations in the master bedroom and my room, and they're in really awful, 80s colours and patterns YUCKS. and i need to find out how to paint over those plasticky surfaces. aiyo.

haha ok. will update my progress here as the days pass.
