Home Sweet Home : Grill for security








And for beauty of the house....first choice would be using wrought iron for the whole house...we surveyed at two shops...one suggested us not to use wrought iron considering the current not-so-good economy....tot what a nice guy to prevent us from spending a lot of money....another one was recommended by my bro-in-law....his grill was from the shop, run by a pair of husband and wife...the husband does all the work, the wife takes care of accounting, basically money stuff....wat a good team work...the shop was a family business on the wife side...they are both good people, friendly and good customer service..would recommend to anyone...the husband is a very talkative too...

So we took the second contractor....A siamese husband and chinese wife...they really love to see Ariana but never offer to carry her....would always say 'sui oo sui, mcm cina'....sui stands for pretty in hokkien i think...another word i always hear is 'pet pet' which stands for white....i think or maybe i switched the meaning, dont quite remember...see, i dunno how to react when people complement my doter....i can juz smile...then say, 'tok dia cina..sbb tu la'....sometimes i'll hear people talk about her behind my back or from afar....there can be sometimes dat i dont entertain them, juz do my blank face n walk away...too much attention is also not good, can attract unwanted people, kidnapping cases etc...

Back to the grill, since my bro-in-law suggested dis contractor....we used his name to get some discounts...well, according to the lady, she's quite generous in lowing down some of the price...so, we end-up doing only wrought iron at the front of the house...the rest are just simple horizontal grill in brown colour....

The wrought iron has some flowers and leaves, so we requested the colour of the flower to be red and leaves to be green....after the grill was completed, we tot its a bit too much flowery, not a simple one...but after awhile, i think its just nice, not too much n not so simple...the total is actually quite expensive due to the number of windows dat we have...its a corner lot, so, there's additional window at the side of the house...dis makes me think everytime we pass by a house with a lot of windows, we would say 'huissyy, byknya tingkap, abih la grill kena wat byk, huhu'...luckily we didnt buy a bungalow....
