So the motto in short is G.S.T Generously Share, Shamelessly Kope, Tastefully Renovate Keke i pity my maid, she is gonna clean like mad. Anyway cooking will be mainly done by myself, so not so siong for her keke i also waiting now my neck long long liao

Feng Shui can really be a big headache at times...haha jus to share with u, when i 1st receive my floorplan, i spent many sleepless nites jus doing some simple sketch on my own. who knows after the feng shui master visit my place, all my drawings must throw into the bin. must redo all over again feng shui to me has never been easy to follow...meanwhile, enjoy ur reno

Yo woman! finally u free to roam around in forum huh? actually im ok with the pics lah, its haven59 who is more particular. Ican easily visualise tfrom those 3d pics, but i must agree some items in those pics are abit 'or bit' wah aha

Hmm...i think im ok with it,cos im the one who insisted wanting it, my ID stress like mad cos the cost of tarkett is dbl of those he wanted to provide me with. I would not have like the Tarkett V-groove series not for our fren who installed them. I have seen his place, simply like the way they look and feel. Well i think when it comes to things like tat, be it electrical or not.....we call it 'lemon'. I believe it all depends on luck. Have u heard of ppl who complain abt their Toyota keeps breaking down since day one? I have, perhaps they are jus one out of 100? or 1000? All i can do now is pray that i will be one of the lucky ones....worst come to worst, change lor

I was alo given Supreme laminates for my home as per quotation, but i hve changed them to Tarkett. Co i kind of like the groove between each plank of lminates, looks unique. Think it cost abt 6 bucks +/- psf. Think the brand is sill kind of young in our market, dont really see much advertising

hehe thanks for liking the chandelier cos i choose one yup! i agree the colour combi does give out the european feel, we are trying to change some colours so that i doesnt remove the european feel totally, yet can blend with the slightly resort feel of the living area. tats the difficult part

Purchased afew more items today! My wife me and our son, full strength shopping spree from Senoko to Jln Besar to Great World City super tired. After reading papers, discovered Barang Barang got factory sale, activated my soldiers to put on their battle gears within mins and 'CHEONG' Below are some items we acquired today Mirror for Dressing Table TV Console Lights (For some corner of Living) My wife really like this lamp. I too find it ineresting, can be a decorative item i the day, nite can give some cosy rays to fill our living Lighting above Island in Dry Kitchen

Theres a diff when they say 'from Italy' and 'made in Italy' 'from Italy' = design from Italy? fabric from Italy? screws from Italy??? It can also mean using a Italy registered company to purchase the made in china or malaysia furniture and thus claiming them from Italy wahaha see? those guys are smart! 'made in Italy' = hmm...think they dont dare to say tat haha those guys are good at such things

keke...not bursting our budget is our priority, but when i think of taking my showers in the morning and evening, i just wanna pamper myself oh! and not forgetting each time i spend abt 3 mins in my toilet wahahahaaa.....my wifey always complain abt it

haven59 is my wifey's nick, hmm reply u on her behalf i think theres more EA than EM in pasir ris, like the few blocks around my side, only 1 EM in each blk, only top floor, nice penthouse although there are some blks full of EMs, they are rare. if i were tomake a guese, i think the EA to EM ratio maybe is abt 6:1 or maybe even 8:1 in pasir ris

I dont know the individual price, for the 4 items, Rain shower, Handheld Shower, Shower mixer and the Mixer Tap, we paid $2,280 The brand is Mamoli (Pico series), bought it from my frens shop along Katong, near the Laksa stall. Do check out the Mamoli webbie www.mamoli.it If u have time, do check out their showroom @ katong, name of shop is volume 5, infact i spent 1/2 my time their drooling while checking the Agape stuffs...impressive! but...cannot afford Keke I thought it look simple n cool! and value for money same here also, small one for my common bath room, bigger one for my cooking area

Oh thanks for ur comment We got it for $2.2k @ Ratten Pacific, comes with a additional back cushion and 2 throw pillows. Thnk Ratten Pacific got 2 branch, one at Kaki Bukit and the other where we bought it from is @ IMM

Yo congrats! hmm...starting on 2-3rd week of jan?I would suggest u to start after CNY instead, since theres a long break in between. Why not get all ur approval for hackings and design u have in mind, choose all ur desired materals, then started at full throttle rite after CNY? jus some on my personal views, u can consider
