Hahaha, that cracked me up... I've just gotten some posters, maybe I'll put them up to replace the Wall.e and Evangelion one, will post a photo when I get to doing it, a bit busy at work recently...

After shower, just bring out of the bathroom and hang outside on bamboo poles loh, or hang at the kitchen's bamboo poles during bad weather... My toilets/bathroom super empty...

No problems for me, I'm only 168cm tall and I can still reach the far side of the dish rack just by leaning without tiptoeing. So I think there's not much of an issue there. =)

coral78, if your normal top refers to laminated top, do take note of some things: - Seams - It's impossible to hide the seems between the sheets of laminates on a flat surface, so if your work top is very long, there will be bound to have seams. (edges are no prob, they can use do ABS trimmings) - Water - I don't think laminates can withstand water very well, that's why people in the past (like my dad's 20+ year old flat) build a concrete + tile wet/cooking areas - Sharp objects can easily plough a gorge through the layers of a laminate if you are not careful. Which will become susceptible to water seeping into the wood/laminate - Don't get a glossy laminate for your kitchen... Scratch galore~ There's no easy way to remove scratches on a glossy laminate. One advantage is that you can always rip out the laminate and have it changed relatively cheaply. And despite the above, my dad's laminate work top still lasted for over 20 years... despite it being a little patchy. But well, we don't do any cutting or food preparation on it, it's just a long surface where we put rice cooker, oven etc.

Well, there's a few ways to do a walk in wardrobe. You can go partition out a space or set aside a room, then you go and install a wardrobe system like this: Or if you are 'pathetic' like me, you build 3 built-in wardrobes linked together and throw out the doors. I.e. my walk in wardrobe looks like a very big built in wardrobe instead of those luxurious wardrobes you see in magazines and movies. The space is a small and my phone does not come with a wide angle lens... so terrible pictures Let's orientate ourselves, I'm standing at the door to my toilet in the MBR. Here is the pictures. Hope you understand it.

Hmmm... I believe that I got the poster at $60. Original, 2 sided, one sheet. Bought it at Popcorn Pop locally. Well, you can get them online too, but the shipping and handling may be a turn off at times, but depending on retailer, you may still be able to get some savings vs buying locally. The frame costed me $140 tho. It's a snap frame bought from the same shop, online purchase a bit hard, big and heavy = expensive shipping

Er... Perhaps it's because human brains are wired for relationships that last around 12-14 months, which is about long enough to produce a progeny/child. The fact is, we, as a species, is not monoganous like swans. Actually, new findings show that Swans are only socially monogamy, but may have extra mating pairs. And I like to quote: "Only 3 percent of mammalian species are socially monogamous, although up to 15 percent of primate species are socially monogamous." As for us Humans, acceptance of Monogamy or Polygamy are generally dependent on culture and society. I'm not an expert, but I believe that the wide spread acceptance of Monogamy by current society and law stems from the widespread of Christianity/Catholic teachings and strength of these nations in the past. Asian cultures and civilizations in the pasts generally accepts polygamy, just think: Rich/Royalty Chinese has many wifes/concubines, Indian Kings are renown to have many wives too, Malays were Hindus before the acceptance of Islam, and Islam also supports polygamy of up to 4 wives. So, getting married to a single partner is a social norm, but when our conscious and socially trained behavior breaks down and our basic instincts took over, and err from socially accepted norm, we have an 'affair'. However, this does not mean that I or you should condones extramarital relationships just because it's basic instinct (Well, it IS still socially unacceptable), but I just hope that I answered the Why part of the question. Why? It's because we are made that way.

Hmmmm... my limited experience with Microwave ovens (at my wife's place) that bakes hasn't been very good. Although it still bakes the cakes, it seems to be more runny/wet when it's done baking and the surfaces don't seems to char or brown nicely like an oven. Well, if you don't bake much, I guess it's pretty okay. Maybe newer models bakes better, but my friend's microwave baked muffins still seems a little wet near the bottom. I also have space issues in my kitchen, I use a cheapo electric oven for my occasional baking and 'grilling'. I put away/hide/keep the oven when it's not in use. Cost me a little over $100 and does my cheese cakes properly, although I have to turn my cake pan in mid cooking so that it browns nicely because the convection fan is off one side on wall.

Yay~ Neighbour~ Neighbour~ The settee thingy in the MBR was custom built. I've had a friend did something similar it by having a sit 'platform' built cheaply, then got a custom shaped cushion separately on his own to fit the sit perfectly . Mine is the corridor unit, so it should have a similar layout as your flat. You're welcome to come over to take a look~ Although I don't really stay there yet I do spend quite a bit of time at the place cleaning, watching movies or play games. I'll PM you my mobile number.

I'm one of the 678D-sters... Haha, can take a look at my t-blog at my sig for some ideas.

My bomb shelter feature wall cost me S$2240 for 16 feet @ "friend-friend price", i.e. $140 per feet... got some design lah, combination of matt and glossy laminates

What's your budget? Hahaha, this sofa has a listed price of over 2k, but I got it below that. Just wanna inform you that Cellini is having a GSS promotion, Calypso sofa without the ottoman (just like mine) + free accompanying side table (listed price $380) at $1688 I want the side table

Can't answer most of your question too, but I can tell you the reason my wife did not want the gas heater even though it was free due to a promotion and the guy had brought it along for the appointment for the gas connection: The Gas heater cannot be installed inside your bath room at the heater points provided by HDB. Due to safety reasons, it cannot be installed in enclosed areas, it can only be installed indoor inside the kitchen or the yard. You have have to get your plumber to run the hot and cold water pipes from where ever you installed it back into your toilet. So eventually you will have 3 pipes running to the heater, Cold water inlet, Hot water inlet and Gas inlet. You can cover it up with a cabinet but there are some specifications. I can't remember it, but I think the bottom cannot be covered and 1 of the wall/door must be fully louvre. But better check cause I cannot remember if the top need to be open as well and how many of the cabinet walls must be louvre...

Haha, my dad's place at Bukit Batok. NiVleK, I got idea, maybe can get your mother or mother-in law to have a chat with them, maybe the elders can communicate easier... Well, I'm fortunate that my half of my storey are all occupied by youngsters. I'm more worried about the volume of my games, TV and movies disturbing my neighbours... Volume too soft, can't hear the dialogs, turn up the volume to hear the dialogs, then the explosions sound like it's going off next to you (Well, they are suppose to sound like they are going off next to you in the first place ...) Then, in the heat of gaming, I could overlook how loud my games are... So if my next door neighbour is reading this, please come and yell at me a bit if it gets too loud okay? Hope the sound of subs don't reach the unit below me...

Haha, you are not the only one who suggested changing my doors. I've to agree that all my doors don't really match my theme, but I'm out of budget... Maybe I'll change them some time down the road And yeah, I tio Od3xed sometime back, still thinking if I should frame the letter that cost me 3K and deprived me of Anime for the past year+
