  2. aiyooo then canot la ! Must let your hubby seized the chance to get discount. Not cheap doing reno ma hehehe. Normally contractors oreali have substantial profit margin liao. If not do so much work no earn how can So now n then must find thing to cut cut cut abit lo. Of coz not to the extent to over cut until they will scrimp on the materials hehehe No discount oso can ! But add things canot charge xtra lo. This is oso another good way
  3. I must say i like your toilet tiles ! Very nice ! Your customized chairs are very woooow ! Going for Victorian theme ?
  4. I think you meant mobile coverage ba hehe. Starhub initially rent the network coverage from singtel for mobile lines. As for broadband they used their own cable network. Singtel using leased line and soon optical. cable =/= leased line so nope they not sharing anything. i heard 1 more operator is coming in SIN soon for broadband ? by 2012 whole SG will have free optical line in their hse ready ! Dont think is Singtel right ?
  5. Wow congratz ! Think you must be eager and excited ya ? my little cot...... used only 2 times >_< too tedious to keep wake up and walk over to her every few hrs. In the end she slept on our bed till now ! 2yrs 1/2 yrs oreali :X lol

    If both toilets are separated by dining room indeed that can be a headache esp piping.. Think i rem some folks hse was in this manner too... But wow ! 35L is just nice for your shampooing.... pretty scary :X
  9. Ahaha ! I try to make decisions but along the way my Lady will step in if she dont like it. So I am quite sympathetic with my ID coz she keep having a hard time on last min changes :X No much job done today leh. So far only Showerscreen is up. Nothing fancy to take anyway. Tried negotiate with ID on the living room cabinets but not really a success. If to change 2 pc into glass, the door have to be changed and the shelvings inside will not really look nice as simple white laminate was used. So if changing into glass display will need quite a number of changes which not cost effective =/ MBR toilet will have some changes as vanity cabinet really will cramp with the WC. Not feasible. So thinking of scraping the idea and have basin place on the other side beside showerscreen. No more cabinet but thinking a simple quartz irregular design ledge for the basin to sit on and no cabinets below. Should be making a mirror cabinet with shelving behind instead.

    Indeed i am oso profounded by this. What the rational of having a instant heater in common toliet and a storage heater in MBR toilet ? Issit to avoid unesssary pipings ? a 35L jovan can easily support both toilet water needs without any problem.
  11. Ermm i just bought it at $960 Cant review cos my hse not ready yet so fridge still have not arrived
  12. Yah the basin have to reposition. I'm sure your ID have to do something coz it really spoil the wall tiles design. I dont mind pple using my new WC but if i see the mess, i will talk to my ID about it ahahaha ! Pretty particular on my stuffs actually. As for my stuffs when the 1st day it came and placed on my floor in bedroom i told my ID that my floor only cost 3k+. Since your guys didnt lay any protection and in the event if the floor is scratched or something, be prepared to ask the Pergo guy to replace and you will be paying ok ? Likewise if my windows are not closed and rain came in, same thing i dont accept my floor to have any form of damages since initially it was installed nicely. If you dont mind paying feel free to carry on Ending phase i will check all stuffs again before i released my last payment ahahaha. So the next day the stuffs are all nicely place on top of corrugated paper. (cardboard nia la)
  13. Oooo nice rainshower ! Really no space for basin ? Coz really close to the shower man. Most probably you guys be painting the pipes since not boxing up. Mine was painted to matching color so look pretty good actually.
  14. I took the Lobster porridge package $128 for 6 pax I think ? Then add a chicken dish and some drinks so total up abt $170 Considered pretty cheap for 6pax and really full after all the water in my tummy >___< I cant hold liquid so not good in porridge, soup, drink n etc Is not think but it is the same isnt it ? I have Baron 1pc White WC in my MBR toilet too lol Well yah, I think our Ladies like such dark color tone ya ? Yours chosen by ur lady too rite ?
  15. Sofa shopping. Went Sofa shopping again on Saturday. Been 2 mths and still my Lady and I can not agree on a sofa yet. Being a bit lazy to go far like Furniture Mall, we drop by IFC again to hope for 2nd time lucky. So here we go again, went to Mondi Studio and nearly sealed off the deal on sofa dining table and chairs. (my Lady love their retro chairs shaped like a S to bits) Spent really a long time there but still end up no buying anything. :X I still kinda worried since they are part of Winter and Red apple.... So went to IFC and browse around Living instinct, Lorenzo, Furniture club etc. Furniture club have alot same items as Mondi ! Hmmm are them under same boss as well ? The price is slightly more ex then Mondi so I kinda lazy to try for a bargain. Ended up back in Cellini and ya.. Still contemplating on the Calypso series -_____- Same thing the cost is $1799 alone unless i take the package which is $1998 either with dining or console bla bla. So i quoted i heard they can mix and match other stuffs for package if i do not need console or mattress, they say can ! But eh.... after choosing here n there we couldnt find anything we want other then the sofa. I told them in that case y not just sell me the Calypso series along with Ottoman stool and side table for $1998 then. Was struggling hard with them to seal the deal as they keep insisting not able to do that. Best price was $2100. So I kept sat there with my Lady and keep hinting them how can a stool and little wood table more expensive then a mattress and frame. I am willingly to take stool for a mattress for the package leh ! How can the price still more ex. Eventually after a long negotiations I not sure if he is Matthew but he went make a call to his boss and finally seals the deal ahaha ! After that we bring our family upstairs for Lobster porridge for dinner to commemorate my another "victory" lol Pretty good actually around $170 for 6pax and 2 kids. Added Picture We got whole complete set with the ottoman stool and side table
  16. You mean this cabinet ? Still negotiating with ID on this lol Trying to convince her at least change top 2 into glass panels so i can make it into a display cabinet.
  17. 26 July No work done on Sunday. So I just drop over and snap some pictures and remembered I did not upload my wardrobe complete look. MBR Wardrobe Here it is. A simple wardrobe for MBR. Interior The shelving layout.
  18. Gratz in finalizing your reno coy Was very impressed by your kitchen idea. However i did notice your kitchen width should be around 2900mm Might be very cramp for movement. You might wana roughly gauge your island top area and then calculate walk space for both sides if that is enough for movement easily. This concept dont seem suitable for top cabinets but as long you have nothing much to store it can be a great design Njoy your reno process in another few mths time rite hehehe.
  19. Okie dokie will remember this trick Oh RT oso have FB ah ! Later i go join ba Well.... true..... Quartz price is slightly more then Granite. But can fight until same price la hehehe. As for hardness both are the same. I remember i read from a webbie that says so, Here is the post and link
  20. That is really a nice feature wall ! Add on your teak furniture will sure look very cosy
  21. I bought Tromm too ! Around $820 too hehehe Hope we got a good buy ^_^
  22. We were cracking our head to find a color to match black top, white cabinets/wall tiles and grey floor. Then my wife suggested green which might be a good contrast. Turns out pretty well actually
  23. Thanks ! But deep is a problem too. I stretch in and really i am not able to stretch till the end. Means so deep oso might have problem getting stuffs in future =/
  24. Kitchen another view The Stainless Steel back splash still wrapped up. Storeroom Storeroom, Fridge and cabinet area.
