very tastefully doneup! clean cut design with a very modern feel!

aubrey yaya! there's a flame inside n it is fascinating that the flame only comes up when they detect that there is a flow of water on the mixer end. It is instant, but it depends on the distant from the heater to the shower point. Need to drain the cold water out of the pipe b4 the hot water will reach us. Eh... get wat i mean? i think freebies cannot reduce the quote much. i believe uncle is able to give freebie becos he earns a bit here n there from ur other stuff, i would see freebies somewhat like 'value-added services' which we cannot say "i dun want n u discount me?" I think u really dun have much of a choice but to stay in? since u mum is so picky abt where's she putting up at. Haiz... i dun think u feel assured leaving ur mum there alone while u shift out somewhere also right?

pinkpetter still can open lah, just gotta pull the door a little harder. But its not turned on anyway. gongkia wanted to turn it on for a miserable KFC mashed potato. my sis also turning 20 this yr! Snakes... they behave just like snakes too. The house is ready for shift in liao, except the part i've not packed anything for my shifting! aubrey i think it depends on the material n length of windows? Another fren did his 3rm with $500+. I think the price was jacked up becos of my window length and the expensive material we picked if we had settled for something more plain n simple, would have been a lot cheaper i suppose. As for ikea, i heard mixed reviews. Some say its gd, some say roller blind spoils easily. But i think the curtains r generally quite nice.

No wonder see u posting in the middle of the morning! U shd be resting n sleeping, not renotalking! drink more manuka honey... its gd n refreshing too, esp for ur job! its like tt one hibernate, we spoke/email >10 IDs n contractors in total b4 finalising on Ah soon. I think we were pretty glad that our reno started b4 he got so popular.. Jiayou ah!

Angel81 Hee! i think its pretty hard to select matching colors for our bedroom Mysterious. So we ended up having similar colors! Mine is dark brown suede, i like ur buttoned backing too! my fridge ah... i left my invoices at home, supposed to call up n chase after the lady for my handle. i think it sounds ridiculous..like "where's my handle ah?" pinkpetter i have one 19yr old sis at home too, that's super pampered. I understand perfectly what u mean

i think for safety reasons that's y cannot be in bathroom? If i recall correctly, was told that there must be sufficient air circulation ard the heater. But yet not too windy cos there a flame inside, feedback from my coll cos her kitchen super windy. I think i was a little confusing with my words. What i meant is that my current place (mum's house) is 20yrs+ so cannot install the citygas heater, n she gotta use the LPG cylinder for stove. My new place is 12yrs old and can use citygas for both heater and stove. Citygas will come n install the pipings and connect both the stove n heater, only they r authorised to do it, not even contractors. i dun think house under reno is fit for human stay leh. seriously even after they stopped hacking, it was super dusty everywhere. N how abt bathing and using of toilet??

aubrey Did curtains only for 3 rooms, living room not intending to do. Both bedroom 2 & 3 is abt 3m each, i think its 2panel of rollerblinds for each room. MBR is full length day+night curtains, plus string curtains for foyer area at bedroom doors area, total is $800. i dunno how to maintain them, but was told that just vacuum can liao. MBR day curtains can throw into washing machine, whereas night curtains will have to bring for dry cleaning 1st 2 times to maintain the color n thereafter can throw inside washing machine already. Installation will be this fri, i hope its not gonna be too dusty! pinkpetter Ya. Dun pamper him too much, otherwise will be taken forgranted! let him know its easier to install but hard to maintain the bills! I think ur bro see this he may just xherion Wow! u r really fast leh. Keys in june, even 1 mth for reno, u r still 3 mths away from curtain installation! i think ur bay window will look super nice with full length curtains. That's what the bay windows r for anyway!! My MBR is like ur current house right? Slightly less than 2m. I'm not sure how much for MBR alone, i was quoted on a total price and we got further discount cos like i said, it was a fren's bro-in-law doing for us. U want i can pass his contacts to u and u can ask him to give u a quote?

aubrey, have replied u in ur t-blog

i'll continue from here. I dun have a feel of how the utility bills like? but base on the Citygas website calculation, 2 of us each day shower 2 times will be $15.99. The profile of the citygas heater is very slim, like the normal instant heaters. But 1 thing to note, gotta put heater in the kitchen area, not allowed in the wet areas. So mine is currently sitting in the service balcony. I think dun vex too much 1st, u call up citygas give them ur postal code n they will be able to check if ur blk is piped for citygas. Cos my current house which is 20+ yrs is not citygas-friendly. Only new flats are able to use them. So sorry to hear u have to delay ur reno. Its maddening to have ur neighbour raise ur hopes n then smashes them. Hope u find a place to stay soon!

wah smallboy, like tt ur wifey not tired ah? Despite all the grumbles i have abt Jason, i'm still ok with him too. No more no less.. just ok. Would prefer Uncle Soon anytime thou. Haha! i think most of us thinks the same abt these 2 brothers.

hahaha! i like the durcell rabbit description! I think sometimes he really goes on n on non-stop. I merely just call n ask him if he's coming over n the conversation went on for 8mins with him doing all the talking, n there i have my curtains guy waiting patiently for me to hang up the phone. I wished Ah soon can afford to talk to me for a minute more rather.

i bought it during their warehouse sale a few wks back, didnt see the faulty leg too, but i just ask the person "there must be a faulty part, can u find for me n tell me where it is" and he did! hahaha! Made him chge the faulty leg with another cream lounge chair, he also willing.. super gd salesman. I must have missed it. I was only focusing on lights n lamps n carpets, but seems like even after discount their stuff still not affordable for me at the moment. Lounge chair also wasn't in our must-buy list, but was too great an offer to resist, n too comfy to resist too. I'm sure u can convince ur hub!

yaya! ask ur dad to exercise his eye power to scrutinize details for u! i dun think u'll need another electrician lah, additional cost for u. The electrician he has is ok, just a little prone to mistakes and slanted sockets. Not a big deal, just a little hassle to keep having to paste masking tapes all over to remind them to rectify. Flooring i tested with water, just kept flooding my wet areas to make sure the water drains to the hole.

Aiyo... my hub still ask me if i wanna get them to do my dresser table since i cannot find one that i like n fits the sizing n budget that i have. Like tt i must make sure i design everything properly then ask them to do. Its quite common that the days of the workers coming in are chged. i wasnt told of when the electrician is coming, or when the plumber is installing my toilet stuff. Thkfully hub make lots of effort to go back home almost every lunch time, n managed to bump into the plumber. Plumber almost installed the wrong basin for my MBR n common toilet, n heng hub was there to stop him. If they had told us earlier, we would place the correct basin into the respective toilets to minimise any mistake. when we ask him who gave the instructions to install this way, he say "jason say this one nicer so install in MBR". But Jason didnt even asked us!! Maybe i'm more petty to such details, hence Hub is still very ok with jason whereas i'll choose Uncle soon over him.

oh no! there will be drilling and hacking of walls to accommodate ur trunkings. How abt the painting of the trunking? R they doing it for u?

her sister is a little classic. And imaginative too. Hahah! i would love to meet ur sis seriously! OT abit.. i also dun think town council will bother leh. There was once that my next blk void deck had some birthday celebration going on n the volume of their singing/music was really way too loud, i shut all windows n doors, move to the side of my house that doesnt face that blk directly n still super noisy. I called the police to see if they could ask them to lower their volume abit, police say not their scope cos b4 11pm, ask me to call town council. Town council say not their problem ask me to call police. So in the end i call police again, n he asked me to call town council AGAIN! godness. In the end, the noise lasted till 9pm+. There goes my rest day

pinkpetter ya, i think its not so nice too. but like u say, i'll always keep the num as my last resort. I wished to keeps things on gd term with them, since i may still go back to them for my dining table one fine day. Ah? aircon u pay, den better not. I think guys like to use the aircon very often, n ur parents may be screaming at ur bro for the high utility bills next time! U only have 1 bracket rite? then u may have to chge the existing one to system4 instead of just adding the fancoil in ur rooms. that means more $$ too. Its a nice thing to have thou, esp in this bl**dy hot weather. argh! ivy if ur budget allows, go get it! i think 40% is quite a gd offer for a brand new piece since mine was already $350 for a display set. i didnt see any crystal studs leh, i was at the marina sq branch. They dun even have the lamp i was asking pinkpetter to help me check out the price. Another very expensive looking chair ah? guy77 Wah! fish tank beside tv? Then ur fishy will be exposed to radiation from the TV all the time. Poor fishy... haha!

guy77 the fridge delivery man was already pushing the blame away n there's nothing much i can do since he already say he will ask the company to arrange for another delivery for my door handle... sigh... i thot my TV was just nice and a 32" or 37" was too small. Plus everyone in office's been telling me LCD TV will look a little smaller, so we just bought 40" lor. But shiok lah, 1st time i see soooo big a TV in my house. Now only waiting for my stingy mum to nag at me for buying such a HUGE tv. i think hor, u take the measurements of the TV better. Then u'll know roughly how tall/wide the TV will look like at ur TV console. ashes02 thks ashes! i think the coffee table is simple n nice too. N cheap.. i think.. haha! If not for the scratch, everything will be booy Were u at the same sales with me? haha! this one is a display set, but since the covers were removable n washable, plus they r willing to chge the faulty leg for me, i'm ok with it. Bo bian, budget a bit tight. I was sold also becos of the mag holder! haha! like tt i can save money no need to buy another mag holder and at the same time but table top dun look so messy. pinkpetter thks gal! i got ur PM. Let's hope gongkia manages to settle the problem, b4 we have to call Melvin. He's better than me at such things, i would have just picked up the phone n start scolding. CATS was gd!! The 'cats' even came down to the audience seat during interval n teased the audience! Very lively n entertaining. Not much story plot thou. Ur parents wanna install aircon for u ah? ivy i think i saw the one u mention as well, its something like the seat of my sofa right, got 'buttons' pattern one: http://retail.barang2world.com/index.php?p...ails&id=159 I think its nice too, but on the safety aspect, u buy already ur boy will be sliding on it everyday! will he fall?

aubrey: i doubt ur house's piped up for citygas right? I'm using citygas instant heater for the rainshower, works a little diff from both the conventional type of instant heater and the storage tank heater, but at the same time able to support my rainshower. Gotta have hot n cold water piping for the shower points, plus the hot/cold water mixer to adjust the water temp. Have got a coll who's using this as well, n she's pretty concern abt bills so no complains from her shd be fine on my pocket, i hope. Agree with the rest on the electrical part for storage tank. Would be quite a waste unless everyone in the family showers all ard the same time so that the water doesnt have to be re-heated again. The tank seems quite big as well, u may wanna plan ur spacing?

Ya, the left side round round looking thing. I saw ur email, just replied u liao!

for me the option is clear, TV area must not be exposed, cos i like to lie down across my sofa to watch tv... abit unglam. We are pushing the throne to each other. Time to throw away old clothes during shifting too! Shoes is another one... i confirm win hands down.

really no VO leh. Not a single cent, that's y my initial $21400 ended up with $20900. He also tell me shift point no need money, plus will chge the covers for me FOC. Then additional 5 double points FOC, more than that will have to charge $50/double point. i think in the end i exceeded a few double points, n was still wondering how can he possibly rembr which were original, which were additional. So in the end, he nvr charge me any extra at all.

pinkpetter yalor... these pple think that uncle will die w.o them mah, but didnt realised as long as uncle got the money to pay, these days cannot find workers meh? I heard from uncle this cousin's son is also so-so only, but uncle tries his best to help him n the family. Some pple just dun appreciate other's kindness. ashes02 I hv Jason's no jus find him not tat helpful at times. Uncle Ah Soon is still the BEST!! hehe! Hope he get well real soon! i cant rembr which of the painters had a tattoo. i gave up on them and was so relieve that the one to come n do touch up is the bangladesh Ah Boy. He's Haha! u voiced out my opinion!! Actually i dun prefer talking to Jason too, my bad that he reminded me so much of my irritating ex-coll, the looks, the way he speaks, n the grumbling part. But as much as i can, i'll try not to call uncle soon until really bo bian.. cos Jason dun listen to me, i'll call uncle soon. Sometimes i think Jason likes to make his own decision, like he drilled my toilet bar and its slanted, told him its slanted but he insisted its the tile slanted not the bar. Uncle Soon saw it n laughed, say he'll chge for me. see wat i mean?

must ask ah? die lah, like tt dunno how liao. My extra tiles all dunno gone where already. We reminded Jason a few times, but each time he came, he sure forget.

my choice goes to the 2nd one too. More clean cut look. White is always my 1st choice, but then again its a pain to maintain. i bought a similar univonna sofa, but 3-seater instead. Very comfortable.
