Pet is right that FS advice in a way is unique for each person due to the bazi. Our FSM took our whole family Bazi to calculate the recommended reno date. He also use our Bazi to advise us which area is suitable for what, e.g he choose rooms for boys base on their bazi, the direction of their bedhead, the area best for them to study etc. FSM advice to us is the importance of the day supersedes the importance of the hour, with regards to us asking him what time should we "dong tu".

We and our seller share the same agent and we are the ones that told the seller it is ok to leave behind things that they dun want. since we are hacking the floor and wall, can get contractor to cart away some of the smaller items. They also very "zi dong" they just left behind a few boxes of unwanted barang barang no bulky items.

As usual his explanation dun make sense and at the end of the day he concluded with :" I don't know" Angry! So I told him :" Don't know go and ask until you know! everything don't know everything also I must handle!" Ended up worse man... the more he ask the more it don't make sense... so I drove back home to check it out myself and to prevent me from collapsing from high blood pressure......... I guess contractor will also be careful on their own accord, cos if they cause and damage, they'll hv to rectify the fault as well. Yah man Pet! I was pacified by the $200 savings. Not much but enough to pay half a month's childcare fee for my elder boy hahahah. That's why the neighbout uncle don't make sense lor... plumber tried to explain to him but he was stubborn... so we gave up..

Today encounter a little drama at my place... At about 4+pm I received a call from hubby saying HDB called him and said that our pipe burst and causes leakage at our neighbour's (downstairs) place. I was all confused, wondering whether the workers accidentally hacked the pipe or something. I called Ah Soon, who told me :" nothing nothing all settled. don't worry." Called hubby and he couldn't quite explain his full conversation with HDB to me... no choice I swing back home to check out for myself. Upon reaching, the workers was just about to hack the bathroom. Not yet even started. No signs of pipe burst. Went down to neighbour's place, rang the door bell, no one answer. Probably too noisy can't hear me... So i hung around in the unit waiting for the Town Council plumber to arrive. Upon arrival he asked me what happen. i was like ???? I should be the one asking him what happen mah............ He checked my pipes, yah the cast iron pipe was corroded, but no signs of anything bursting... so went down to ring door bell again and this time the owner opened the door. Phew... they were nice folks, very friendly but uncle abit stubborn.. The uncle insist that by us dismantling my kitchen sink it caused his main pipe to leak... which don't really make sense. Anyway to appease everyone, I just told them no worries, I'm gonna change my pipe anyway.. So I'll just get it change sooner to solve the problem. Ding dong ding dong, TC plumber say if I let my own reno contractor change the pipe, in future anything wrong TC won't be responsible (that is sort of trying to hint me I should give the job to them). So, to save trouble I ask him to quote and before that I ask him which plumbing company he was from and hahahahah, I love it when he told me Nam Plumbing. I was hoping that it was that company, cos I know the boss. Plumber quoted me $1200, uncle Ah soon quoted me $900, I called the boss of Nam Plumbing and he gave it to me at a friendship price of $700 to change all the toilets/kitchens main and branch pipe. He say :" ok lah old friend 半买半送" At least I save $200 out of the whole drama.... keeping my fingers cross that there won't be anymore of such drama...

ohhh ok hahahha. i will probably need to top up too.. if i gonna "U" the wardrobe. uncle cannot give u the skirting free ah?

i noticed that there are wood skirtings for your tiled floor. did you request for that? Is it a must to have wood skirtings?

ohhh no wonder. In that case better to call him to remind and remind him. he is going away for a few days soon. I think he is leaving on Thursday if I am not wrong. catch him catch him!

can i have S&C address??

original plan for us is to plaster the kitchen wall and paint it over. alot of house owners are doing that and it saves us some cost too. cleaning wise shouldn't be a problem since we dun really cook much.

growler no worries, uncle only take my tiles samples the day before he starts dismantling my whatever is to be dismantled at my new place. Now that he is gonna start hacking my side this afternoon, there is still 1 piece of tile that he has yet to pick up.

hmm ok ok I will go and think about whether i wanna "U" it to maximise space. You got 2 girls? Thought you only have 1. My husband was all eager to kick my PC out to the balcony area.. so that I won't disturb his sleep He suggested for me to create similar to urs on the wall opposite the alter but I was thinking if I do that I will be blocking lights into the living room and it is as good as me re-creating my balcony area..... and what's more it's only gonna be in use for at most 2-3 years and everything will be tugged back into the study room... unless by then my boys are ready to be splitted into their individual room.. after seeing you kitchen now the man want wall tiles for kitchen........... headache headache............

i kept thinking whether i can maximise the space by doing a U shape in there in order to have more hanging space.. what do you think? I am doing a 2-way sliding door thus I can enter from both ways. I went up to take a peek yesterday, and I love the idea of your study area hiding at one corner. For me that corner that you are using for your study will house my alter. I'll probably have to tuck an ungly computer desk in one corner of my MBR till my sis vacate her room for me to convert it into a study room...

handover without main door is as good as not handing over. have you called uncle to ask him about the handing over?

tomorrow is wednesday not thursday leh.

mine also in a mess now. though hacking has not started, all the dismantled floor laminates, air con, kitchen cabinets are all over the floor now. yours will be ahead of mine, it'll be easier for me cos I will know what's to come next by checking your progress hahahha.

i read about no. 3 in some fengshui article.. but I guess due to practicality, many of us will need higher shoe cabinets, esp ladies. I will also be doing a full height cabinets. The top rows will assign to the man of the house since he is tall enough to reach, the lower shelves will be for me of course :x

molecule sells bean bag as well. for one that u can sit on it's about $160+ i think

wah so sweet wor. My hubby ahhh I have to drag him out to go eat breakfast with the boys and me... cook?? wait long long ahh..

if you ask me, i thought the 2nd one looks better. more modern imho.

kim tian is very expensive wor

i love your white TV console, clean lines pretty! you've got a sexy little red kettle as well hahaah. Hey alot of people eyeing the vodoo doll knives leh!!! it's nice... how much did u pay for it and where did u get it?

hahahah true true!!! but at least i think when first shift in, sure will look nice for the first few months or at least the first few weeks, until the slack bug sets in. good luck good luck!!!
