Yet another whirlwind weekend has passed by in a blur. Honestly, I sometimes look forward to week days simply because its the only time I have to myself, to blog, to take pictures to blog, to watch tv, to do laundry, to clean house… to do everything I should be doing on a weekend! My weekends always pass by in a blur of activity which usually involves ferrying someone from one point to another or running around getting all sorts of things. Juggling 3-4 different projects isn’t fun!
Actually it is. I enjoy it 
This weekend was no different. I spent the better part of Saturday at the Bloggers Tea Party organised by Rinnah and it was great fun meeting her and SengKor, Winn, Angeles, Beetrice and some other bloggers who I didn’t catch their names (sorry!) who made it to the party.
The rest of the weekend, I spent on a DIY mission. This is part 1 of about 100 of my DIY things to do around the house. A while ago, I bought a pair of bookshelves from Ikea. My mom insisted that I buy the doors to go with it, because it would get dusty otherwise. But, I being rather short in the money department, refused.
I ‘m glad I did. This weekend, I popped by Ikea and on a whim, went to check out the As Is department – where all rejects and ex-display units go. Behold!
I got my bookshelf doors at a total of RM84 off! Glass doors that matched my bookcase perfectly and they came fully installed with the hinges and handles so all I had to do was to screw it into the bookcase and voila! New doors! Now, I need to look for another pair for the other book case.
And while I was there, I also picked up a glass fronted door for another bookcase I transformed into my storage cabinet in my bedroom. It was marked down to RM84 from RM120 or something ridiculous. It was still unassembled and in the original packaging. The sole “defect” was a little scratch running down the back of the board (which you can’t see from the outside in any event!).
Needless to say, I spent a happy 2 hours setting up my doors. I also bought something interesting which I’m using to remove the clutter from my dressing table, but I forgot to take pictures of those. Maybe next time.
My next DIY project : Painting my room walls. I shudder at the thought.
What did you do this weekend?
