hubby went up to our place this evening ard 6pm. the workers doing masonry work were not as hardworking as those doing hacking. no one was ard at 6pm. n since he din have the keys, he had to wait till 7 for me to reach de place.

abit dissapointed when we opened the house. since we left the place on sat early afternoon at 11 till now, nothing much have been done. considering they were working this sun, sat-tues=4days of work!! but wat have they done??

let's wait for him to come back n give me a call, n i'll make sure he ensures work carries on as per schedule!! 8|

wahhh.. i think those workers eating snake... 8|
