Finally decided on the ID that we gonna use. She is my colleague's good friend and was featured in Squareroom. To be frank, me and my wife didn't went to look for any other IDs nor contractors as we found this ID creative and honest with our initial renovation budget. I went to several of her creations in Sengkang and the workmanship is not bad and suits our taste without burning our budget. Best part is that this ID stays near my new place too so if something crops up at my place, I can call her to come over immediately 1 Mar 2013 The Day, "Ah Long" came to lock my place with the chain and lock! I was given a week to pay the deposit and she will prepare my "IOU" (3D drawings). 7 Mar 2013 Layout for the lighting points and false ceiling design up! YES! I will have remote control lights for my living room and master bedroom. Work starts even before I paid my deposit.

Saw this Blanco Metra 9 kitchen sink from Hoe Kee. Felt in love with the granite surface. Price abit over budget. Still thinking if I should get it. Intend to get Tecno Hood and Hob for my kitchen. Went to Mustafa in the late evening around 11pm and got served by a hardworking salesman. I am impressed by the man's sales ethics as I am not going to commit the purchase so soon but he served me to great extend that I got from him immediately. Gotten a free thermo flask from tecno.

24 Feb 2013 Getting a new flat means getting new stuffs at the same time to beautify the new place. As I am currently staying with my parents, I am not in a rush to move in to my new place. Which means, I can have ample time to shop for my stuffs and also have time to search for my favourite ID. Spent the entire Sunday to shop for suitable lightings, furnitures, bathroom and kitchen accessories and my home entertainment system. I went to lightings.com.sg at jalan besar to shop for LED lightings. I intend to have LED downlights and cove lightings for my living room and passageway. Philips seems to be selling a good price in this shop but the warrenty covered is only 1 year. Found this dining table selling cheap in Full House. Bought it immediately with my CFO approval! this sofa looks good but it is only half leather. Price is less than 1K, not sure if quality is good in the long run. Colours are limited so I never confirm immediately. This Samsung HTS caught my eye. It has Bluetooth enabled and I can use my Samsung S3 to connect it and play my favourite music. Price also never burst my wallet. I was aiming this fridge since last year but because I cannot confirm the date that I am getting my new keys, I dare not purchase this fridge. The promotion last year was free $150 vouchers or a free CTBL coffee maker. This year promotion is even more attractive as it comes with free 39" LED TV!! Finally can get my favourite fridge!!

I choose to have truckings inside the rooms instead of passageway so that I can have my truckings covered by wardrobes and not have them exposed in the passageway. The installation took 6 hours for the 2 guys to finish. I am quite satisfied with their workmanship as most of the truckings are being touched up properly and holes are sealed nicely with white cement. There is a minor hipcup due to the design of the master bedroom toilet. Yes, the weird entrance! Because of the location, my AC piping needs to make a big round in the bathroom to allow water to seep out. Thanks to my ID for having a brilliant suggestion to have it under my toilet doorway, then partially covered by tiles. Not sure if the final product looks good but at least the piping need not be expose everywhere in the toilet.

My flat layout. Yes, it is a 4RM flat and most area got eaten up by the passageway and best part is that the toilet entrance is so weird and space outside the toilet is not even enough to create a big wardrobe. Well, this is one of the biggest headache when you got your new flat and realised some of your initial designs does not fit in to your new flat as the dimensions are way off logical to add or remove. 23 Feb 2013 My Aircon Installation Day!! Because of CNY, I have to wait for a month before I can arrange the AC guys to install the aircon unit. I have gotten this system 4 Panasonic Inverter Aircon from Gain City during the Great Gain city Expo Fair. It came with 5 years warranty and free upgrade of insulation pipe. However, the deal only comes with 1 installation and if you need them to come down another day, you have to pay $80. Being a newbie of home reno, I choose not to add another installation day. Not sure if I will regret this after my reno. 2 Guys came early in the morning to shift all their materials up. My free upgraded insulation! Work starts!

June 2009 Gotten my new BTO flat in fernvale in year 2009. It was a great year where I got my new job, new car, got married and got a new BTO flat. Located at the western edge of Sengkang estate, it is very close to the famous stretch of eating houses along Jalan Kayu famous for serving prata around the clock. Although Sengkang estate is relatively mature, the western edge is relatively untouched and is home to many landed homes. The location of this BTO project is about 4-5 LRT stops from the town centre and Sengkang MRT station. The project will appeal to those working in the North, East or City parts of Singapore. The Nautilus lies 5 minutes away from the TPE and SLE expressway. Long wait of 44 months begin... 11 Jan 2013 Finally got news about getting my keys.. Took a day off to go down HDB. Finally gotten my keys after a series of procedures. Being a first time flat owner, it is so exciting yet tiring plus time-consuming! I didn't opt for flooring and doors done by HDB. So I only have keys for my postbox, gate and main door.
