As I was looking at my dad today, I'm really thankful to God for him. He's really the right kinda guy that is in my life to help me out. With all the engineering background that he has, the work he had done with his hands, the strength and physical fitness he has, he helped me shift out my old study table and fixed up my new one!

My new study table is a DIY one. We went to IKEA to buy the planks, legs and brackets (for the shelf). Since it's my table, I decided to at least be there to stick around and hang around even though I know I'll just be watching.Last time when he was doing DIY stuffs, I couldn't help out and often left him alone because I had work to do. But today, now, I figured that it's my holidays. I've nothing important and urgent to do and I should be responsible for my things. So that's what I did.

And why am I an observer primarily? Cos when dad's at work, don't touch anything or try to help unless he asked you to. That's the Number 1 rule that I've learned throughout my growing up years.

But, just sitting down by bed and watching his back, these thoughts came to my mind. Dad's really great. He knows how deep to drill the holes in, why, what should be done and all the precautions to take. I helped him when he asked me to, of course. Mark the holes, hold the plank, hold up the vacuum cleaner. These are just the things I did. But I'm thankful and grateful enough for it. I also learned as I watched and asked him. I'm glad he answered my question. And at least, next time, when I do DIY stuffs and fix up/drill things, I would know better. Hopefully, my husband, if he doesn't know these stuffs, would listen to me! (:

Well, still, thank God for dad! And yes, I've just gotten my new study table! Yay! Finally. Longer--120cm. And now, without the blocking plank, I have more space. It's quite sad to leave my previous study table. I almost cried. It had been with me since like Primary 1! Till now, in Uni Year 1! It's been very long and I've grown very attached to it for more than 10 years. I'll miss it! But it's just getting old and things are chipping off and I need more space.

But I'll always remember that study table! Show you the pics (old and new) next time! (:

For my new table, because the brackets are so cottage-like, I hope to tie ribbons and put them up! To give the cottage and sweet feeling! At least it'll be something different! I also decorated my chipboard with some chocolate and sweet wrappers that I used to keep. But mum and sis kept saying that it's ugly! So sad. Maybe I'll change it a little to having gold and silver wrappers instead. Hopefully it's nicer! =) Cheers to designing!
