Day 6



right. only tiling work today. and only one guy did all the work with some others coming in to look see and chit chat with him. me i sat in my room most of the day and slept for a while. today so far is the most relaxing day. cos i get to hang out in my room instead of the corridor. only thing is still no toilet but it isn't that bad. a little used to it now. i kind of like walking around downstairs anyway. now i'm downstairs so often i feel a little more part of the neighbourhood in some way.



oh a side note, are channel 8 drama serials getting a bit too postmodern or what. i haven't been the most faithful follower of double happiness but in the about ten over episodes i've watched, there've been ironic references, in about at least 4 episodes, to the show being a drama serial by the characters in the show. even in the last episode they couldn't resist a final dig. having that guy write a story called "double happiness" based on the happenings in the lives of the characters in the show "double happiness". what's this. 2046? i mean it's just a little bit of an overkill. and what about the totally snook "twist" near the end of the show where chen zhicai seemed to die and jiaming seemed to have in the aftermath married jiaxi? that's just a leeeeetle contrived hey. the kid calling jiaming papa cos he's the godfather and chen zhicai daddy cos he's the real father. the drama is getting stretched a little bit too thin.



anyway not much photos today cos it's just one type of work.









as i said. tiling works today. so here are the piles of tiles all ready to be cut and stuck on the bathroom and toilet walls.









right this should be up yesterday but i forgot. the ceiling beam and the area above the kitchen windows have been cemented and plastered over so they're nice and white and smooth now.









here's the bathroom all tiled up. nice and pretty. well it would be nice and pretty if the guy didn't leave all his stuff in the bathroom to continue tiling the floors tomorrow. but it's alright.









the toilet all tiled up. except for the bit for the toilet roll holder.



yeah that's it.
