start taking your vits & folic acid. As for coffee & tea, no need to worry abt it. Most importantly is to stay healthy & happy -

ya...cheers for everyone but no cheers if we're selling n also buying high leh. Anyway, I think it'll at least be another 2 yrs or so before any1 of us make the selling announcement. If I strike TOTO tonight, I wonder if I wanna re-reno my place or get a EA. hahahaha..... -

i know what u mean now cos my friend also did that for her kitchen. But why u wanna do that? It'll give u an additional place to clean but if u got maid then its ok. Cleaning a maisonette is no joke. I've removed many display stuff so as to minimise the dust collection. -

its really a waste if u hack off the marble cos u can polish and get back the shine for the old marbles and more value if u decide to sell yrs down the road. ya, gotta reconsider carefully if wanna opt for open concept kitchen. Ikea sells those big plastic mat (abt the size of a playpen 48 X 24)...dont know how much it cost though no la, Hougang EM layout got 2 type. One with the utility room (quite miserable...not as big as u think) and the other type with the study room which is big enough to be considered as the 4th bedroom. -

ya. The only thing lucky is I bought the unit below valuation. But I got no marble or parquet flooring...just a very old, 20 yr old renovation left by seller. -
try http://www.newkoat.com/gallery.htm but I'm not sure if the tile refinishing last.

ya, that's y I always said I HATE the bloody common loo upstairs. Hate it since day 1 and wld continue to hate it for as long as I stay in this EM. Seller didnt convert the wash area so I had to get contractor to create the P-trap sewage pipes to convert it into a toilet downstairs. -

congrats. So where's your new (oops, daddy's) EM? oh, its kind of wasted to hack away the marble. Here's some of ideas for utilising the squarish balcony that I've seen:- 1. Served as dining area 2. coffee cum relaxation corner 3. putting water feature/fountain 4. basically a huge laundry area equipped with washer, dryer 5. putting potted plants in the balcony nevertheless, i think 90% of those I know used it as a huge yard for laundry purposes -

wow, so good....still able to use some stuff left by seller. My seller left only cupboards infested with cockroaches. Stupid TV console & coffee table peeled just half a year after we bought it. Me and hubby was inexperience & nobody warn us on veener materials. Haiz. Dump the coffee table and bought a cheapo one from Ikea. So far, so good even though we bought it few months ago. -

no la, it never cross our minds to have glass at the staircase. The original railings from HDB still the strongest and also save $ on it by not doing anything. -

Thanks. After we signed the OTP, hubby bought the 1m tall Mother Mary. We had to decide where's the best place for the altar & the featured wall was hubby's idea. Each squarish tile cost $10. I cant remember how many we bought.
