Xtreme Makeover: Room Edition Days 2 & 3

Third day of my room's makeover.

The second wasn't a tremendously good one. For one, I had to remove my lights and it was such a chore trying to get it down. This is not a himbo statement, trust me. The screws were so tightly secured, I was telling myself out loud to keep turning. "Screw it" wasn't exactly what I could or would say at that point of time.

Ok after maybe an hour at least, the tubes and everything came down. But because I knew nuts about electrics, I just cut the wires since I couldn't get them off the boxy thingy.

Bad move. Seven hours later, I realised that cutting the wires also meant I cut off the electricity supply to the lights in my parents' room and one living room. My brother also managed to conjure nightmarish images in my mind of secondary school physics lessons, with the mere mention of "parallel circuit".

That was not the worst thing that happened yesterday. Still to do with the damn lamp, I had to stand on stuff to try to get it down right. One wrong step and I heard the slightest sound of a crack.

I'm now typing on my laptop whose screen is cracked inside. You know what a bullet shot looks like? Yeap, it looks like I shot my screen with the one wrong step. Actually, the flow of the liquid crystal stuff through the crack lines look kinda arty. Ok I know this piece of art is definitely gonna burn a big hole in my pockets.

And painting was still a pain. I really have newfound respect for ladies putting on make-up. It is a chore. My ceiling was so cake-ish that paint that was rolled over kept falling off.

Anyway, at least the rose white is on the walls now. The ceiling had to be touched up today. Man... And I finally got to paint the graphics I had in mind. It's all to do having a warm feel and a touch of childlikeness.

The walls are almost done. I need to do up the furniture with the same colors. This is seriously manual work.

And me? I've got paint all over.

Not exactly the best Kodak moment
