Below are the little stuff I have gotten over the weeks:- The Bins: The bowls & plates The knives The clock

They came to exchange the right cushions liao. What I'm sore about is the lack of apology. Sigh...

I like your wallpaper. It bring out like an art piece in the room. I have been to countless trips to Goodrich PS to search for the 'perfect' wallpaper but in vain.. Either too loud or too plain... Sigh...

Yes, same set of parent. And r u a contractor?

Crazy week... So many things waiting for me to clear when I returned to work after 1.5 weeks of leave... As promised, here are the short reviews of the companies that I bought my stuff.... MGL: Got my roller blinds from MGL Curtains. Installation was pretty smooth, fast and clean. The drill came with a holder so no debris was flying around when the guy was drilling the wall. Heng ah… Initially we were quite worried that they might dirty the place cos my furniture all black leh. They only need 1 week to fabricate the blinds after the site measurements. The process of selecting the fabrics, site measurement to installation was about 2 weeks. All blinds came with the rubber guard so lesser noise when it’s windy. Luv my blinds to bits! Cellini: Sigh. Wrong delivery of the cushions for my sofa. Flow series came with 4 cushions and 3 cushions were of a different material. Even the delivery guy was shocked when he opened the package. He asked ‘I don’t think this is correct hor? I take back, can?’ I told them to bring back the correct ones to exchange instead. No sound no news from the customer service or the delivery side after that. I had to send emails to chase. No apologies offered. Then suddenly, one guy called my hubby to inform him about the date of exchange. He said he didn’t call earlier on cos they need to wait for the confirmation of delivery of the correct cushions. But shdn’t someone call us to acknowledge the wrong cushions delivered with a simple apology. I think I have made history by complaining about Cellini here. So far have yet see any negative comment about them. Disappointed… Citilights: Wide selection of lights. Price comparable and they are quite easy going. Prompt delivery and correct items. No defect item, lights are in working condition too. Vhive: Bought Study desk, wardrobe, office chair and bar stools. Prompt delivery and assembly of the stuff are only done upon delivery. Installation of everything took about an hour. They cleaned the mess when they leave. Items look quite sturdy. Got to catch movie with hubby ...so that's all for the nite... Sweet dreams guys!

Hugs too! Sayang sayang... yah..Your friend moved my Q size bed to my baby's room aka guest room liao.. Come and sleep if you need.. I can on the aircon for u too...

U also said it yourself... 'U are unable to do all this'.. That's the reason Marsh said 'not useful to talk to someone who didn't even engage Henry'. For us (ex-customers for Henry, we can at least call and chase for Martin mah) Pardon me again hor... I know I said I shdn't say more in my last post... But can't help leh... Woman always like that..must end the conversation with her last words wan...Anything after that will spark off a new argument... Bad habit of mine... That's the reason why I said that it is morally impossible for us to remain neutral in this conflict... In any case, I believe Henry will try his best to rectify everything if it's indeed his faults. This is based on my understanding when he was handling my reno. But will take time, not immediately the very minute that Martin wld want. Even I, the above $50k customer and sis of Simon also no priority leh.. Just to share that mine was attended to within a week...Rectifications also need a few days of waiting leh... Reason being, Henry needs to contact the respective parties involved to attend his complaint. Contractor also sometimes held ransom by the companies/suppliers if it's peak period...I'm pretty sure he will attend to his case at the earliest possible time... To be honest, who don't want to solve it asap if he can... Better to solve it quickly than to let the person continue to jump up and down... right? I really need to stop now...or hubby will say I KPO again...

All along i thot the moderator only removed posts that are directed to the sponsers. Glad that we have a neutral party coming in to stop the language/words used. It is morally impossible for Simon, Mash, me (being the customers of Henry), Martin (the angry customer), MayDream (great friend of ours who met us all) and Waikwok (the rejected potential customer who thanks everyone for negative comments) to remain neutral in this conflict... Oh yes, must remember to say the following: No, I also wasn't the one who complained too. I also believe it's the word used. Forum is for all to raise the awareness of the good and bad points.. Not an avenue to vent frustration on other forummers who are trying hard to help ... Bad choice of words or analogy (Martin called it) to direct to a lady...even worse if it were to direct to a man... Sure kenan direct confrontation from the man wan cos my hubby said it's like implying to the spouse if it were to direct to a man and he will be very angry ... Okie...Enough said... shd stop here... shdn't say more or will start another hot debate... Let's move on and huat ah! Happy TGIF and weekend too!

Am I included? I'm going to post all the little stuff that I have bought for my hse over the weekend (Hope I can do it lah..so busy at work..and only randomly post little messages around nowadays).. Including two Simplehuman bins... Ha! Ha! *Scram*

May, Look out for today's Straits Times, World Section first page... Samsung LED Full HD TV 55" only $1999. Just nice for your feature wall! Hurry down to Suntec.... Ha! Ha! Me bad company...always ask u to buy things...

Understand the feeling.. Cos bought our Honda Civic 1.6A at $66000 in 2009 when COE only $4k plus. Salesperson told us to top up $4k for 1.8..Hesitated and bought 1.6..Now looking at the the 1.8 price...Heart super super pain... Shd have topped up...

Doing Reno and wedding at the same time can be a very tiring event. But look at the brighter side… Hey.. U only tired once! Unlike me, ‘Shiong’ twice for the two events… Reading thru your posts, your reno journey is rather smooth sailing… except for the drop thingy… Your contractor cld be over caution over the ‘what if later on…’ scenario… Not a bad thing also since he’s trying hard to ensure everything works out swee swee after handover

Shows that we got the same taste! Ha! Ha! My stuff mostly bought from Royal Fanco...so not surprise that we have the same tap.. But water flow very slow hor? I prefer tsunami leh... Anyway, u r the one who convince me that the Panasonic Microwave is a good buy...So I just called Everjoint to order..To lazy to source anyway... Hee..Hee...

Hi, thanks for your compliments:) The design is based on the 3D designs by Henry. But prior before the 3D, he did check with us which type of laminate we prefered. I told him as much wood as possible. When seeing the pics, my hubby and I like it so much without making amendment and tried our best to select the laminates as close to the 3Ds as possible so as to be exactly the same. Do source around for more quotes to make a fair comparison. Select the ID that you are most comfortable with. Most important is the chemistry. If ID cannot 'connect' with you, don't understand your preferences even after hrs of discussing...no point even if he offers the lowest quote.....Good Luck and Happy renovating....

Yah loh... Everjoint quoted me $1200plus ... can't remember exact...so cheaper than samsung one rite?

This is my first choice...Don't worry lah... It's a good choice.. But I switched to Hitachi fridge cos it's cheaper... $3K for 1 fridge is over budget for most ... Don't have to regret wan... it's for the same purpose; Storing of food and drink ...

Don't wait liao... Just send him a sms that u want the drop and if no drop, he will redo the flooring at no additional cost. It's better to state it down black and white. Have to act fast since he is going at a fast speed... He might now say: 'aiyah...now want to do also cannot do already cos my tiler already doing the flooring halfway...' Don't pek chek okie? It's part & parcel of life that we will encounter some funny characters along the way. No good for your health.. Just 'counter attack' when it comes...

I don't know the brand of the laminate... Henry's office only got 2 big boards which hold rows of small pieces of sample... We just chose from there. My bro will be very happy to know that u guys like the photos... Thks. We wanted black and white but no stock. So we took the red & white.. Quite surprised that the effect looks good. I think sure wet lah... Haven't try but toilet so small...I also don't know where to put liao....

I also did the drop but ours not EM like yours so don't know whether it is true about the exceeding 50mm to connect the 2nd floor trap. Yes, contractors are very scared about we, owners finding trouble with HDB on reno thingy...Cos Henry also mentioned that HDB might want to check those units...

Welcome! I always believe that selecting the one who does the reno is all about chemistry and being able to click. Trust your instinct, as long as u feel good and think he is good. Just go for it to enjoy the reno process:) Happy renovating

Hi, the bar stools are from vhive! only $89 each:) My hse got no theme ...we don't like to be restricted by it...we just incorporated whatever we like into it... Most of the colour are selected by my hubby based on the Fengshui report also lah.. and personally I luv woodgrain laminate... that's y the kitchen are mostly brown.. I'm old fashioned lah...
