Happy Days And Happy Reworking

Happy Days And Happy Meals Are Here Again
It was only when I put up at "The Woman's" and because of Ashley, of course, that I came to know of all those ingenious toys that MacDonalds has invented.

There were all those flash-screen images that could be projected on a wall or changeover slide pictures encrypted within a video cam.

And yes, all those toy cars, cars that harness potential energy when you glide them over and over again on the ground, just to rev them up for the kinetic energy that is released once you let go.

Certainly amazing and innovative.

An International Game Set
Yesterday I bought my 2nd Happy Meal in my whole entire lifetime and was duly rewarded with an electronic drum FUN GAME .

One of those hand-held, battery operated, screen game where at the press of two front buttons, you maneovure half or a full drum set to its rightful central position. That is what I thought, anyway.

Outside its package, there were cautionary notes about it being a health hazard (if swallowed I guess) for kids under 3 in 8 languages. I counted Korean, Japanese, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Bahasa Malaysia and Indonesia, Arabic and Tamil among them.

It was made in Hongkong, aka as China.

I tip my hat to McDonalds for the really inventive and creative game sets it has been whizzing off its toy factory.

Reworking The Whole Place - A Home Of Possibilities
The Bedrooms And Study Room
Rhemi's master bedroom looks pretty small to me.

If I have to rework the whole place, the wall separating the two bedrooms will have to go (if this is physically feasible and if the housing authority permits this, that is).

This way, two beds can straddle the space (maybe not if space is too much of a squeeze), arranged in a longitudinal fashion, and both sharing a timber-stripped partition at their foot for hanging up wall-mounted television sets.

The headboard of one will double up as storage cabinets and sheves adjoining a study table and computer work desk.

One bedroom door will be sealed up and this section of the wall will be lined with a wall-to-wall built in storage wardrobe.

Two Baths Made Into One
The two bathrooms will join (but seriously looking at all the sewage pipes, I am not even sure they can be repositioned), so that one can lead into the other.

Living And Dining Areas
The store-room will be broken down and in its place, another timber-stripped wall for a mounted television set for the hallway. The space will be a dining area that has a self-cleaning fish tank on its other side that faces the kitchen area.

An L-shaped sofa set lining the living area and near the windows, a display and storage cabinet plus a shoe cabinet.

The Kitchen Area
A gas clothes dryer juxtaposed with a washer below it and storage cabinet for toilet rolls and toiletries in the kitchen.
