everytime i look at ur blog, ur broken marble always catches my eyes first, esp the dark color one. i, too, also retain the previous owner broken marble.

today saw my opp block doing reno, wonder if his tblog will be here interestingly, now i know where my rooms are facing. the hottest part is the study room is facing south-west, which is afternoon sun. and the other side of the house is south-east, which is morning sun. after the huper optik guys came n fixed up my place, i'm liking it n even though is slightly on the high end, i hope these films will serve their purpose (to reduce heat)!

semi-circle mats? i saw it at Giant IMM. very cheap.

finally have time to go up to the house to clean up n do laundry i gave myself 3 options--laundry rack, movable laundry rack and dryer. and the house is a freaking oven so i hope after the huber optick window films is up, i'll be a cooler person.

i cannot view ur pics with ur photobucket. weird.

what a story! if wasn't for renotalk, i would believe in those expo ID fair which is a total joke!

i may not be the best but i always look out for small details. so contractor cannot bluff me in any case, u not afraid the pans collect dust?

wow all cement flooring...must be feelin cold everytime u walk. btw, how did u make your pot lids hanging on the chrome ikea stand? u used S-hooks?

sound like a red flag is being hoisted, hope all will be well.

thanks for ur feedback. i m just curious as i m a non-believer in these practices. in any case, "they" say cannot get married in 7th mth but 3 days ago, my cousin-in-law got married, somemore to a prc wife. so is 7th mth practice by sgporeans n msians? just like our yu sheng?

1 quick qns: when we say move house, we move things into the house but if the people do not slp in that house, does it consider as move house?

1 quick qns: when we say move house, we move things into the house but if the people do not slp in that house, does it consider as move house? this might help? Feng Shui Questions What are the steps to follow when moving house? Here are the recommended steps. * Select a auspicious date and time to move. This date should take into consideration the birth dates of the family members. * At the appointed day and time, and just before entering, proclaim ownership of the house or say a prayer based on your religious belief. * If you have an altar, locate and position it and perform the necessary religious rites. * Open all the doors and windows. * Switch on the lights, air-conditioner and/or heater in the house. * Let the water taps run for a few minutes. * Move your stuff into the house. * Boil a kettle of water and make some beverages. * Switch on the radio, CD or TV to create some 'Yang" energy. * Cook a meal for family members and helpers * Sleep overnight. You may also 'cleanse' the house by sprinkling a mixture of rice and salt at all the corners. Please note that it is inauspicious to move house when there is a pregnant woman in the family. If you must move then she should not be present. You can move new stuff such as your brand new fridge into the house earlier than the appointed date and time but existing stuff such as you favorite bed and PC should only move in on the designated date and time or later. And please remember to be nice to each other, say good things and do not get into a quarrel!

i can't help but feel that stronger lights r needed at the painting n blue don't go with b&w

reno proj r a big fat hole to earn, just be more careful in the future!

1 qns for u, what is bamboo chick blinds? can tell me? this is because i just installed ikea blinds at my open air recess area to keep out rain but they r not rain-proof neither wind-proof. updated: i think i just figured it out, thanks for ur tip!

i remembered the brand is: excel or sth like that, i picked it up from the catalog n cost around 200ish hope it helps. (link)

ADT came n accessed on 1 July, gave quotes n procedures. ADT came n setup on 31 July and I didn't know a ready telephone line must be available but was only told the alarm need a telephone point. There was a telephone point ready but I'm going to use starhub digital cable and I need a TV point. So it is ok, activation of alarm can wait till I get my digital line. On 23 Aug, finally starhub granted me my digital line, before citing that they are going through some upgrade of line, that's explain the long wait. Anyway, an appt with ADT was made at 12pm for 24 Aug. Then on 23 Aug, ADT called me and changed to 2-5pm for my appt. Ok, i accepted. Then on 24 Aug, ADT called me at 9+ in the morning to ask to come now. No, I don't accept. Then ADT called again at 11+ to ask to come again now. No, I don't accept and said to them: you cannot just change the appt timing just like that! Finally at 2+ ADT came knocking and I sent them back. Anyway, another appt was made for 28 Aug 10am. ADT came but didn't provide what was needed. What was needed: to replace the loose cover and 1 additional remote control as promised on 1 July during assessment. What was needed again: the technical know how of alarming alarm through calling telephone and also sms notification the ADT tech just said dunno and ask us to refer HQ. Also, I ask for a simulation test on how fast ADT will call me when my house is broken in. the ADT tech said cannot try now. In addition, he doesn't seem to know how to use the alarm because when I asked him to show me how to arm the alarm and he was really taking his time! So I didn't activate the alarm because it is incomplete. All these while, the salesperson claimed that he dunno what had happened with the technical team. To me, if their internal communication is so bad, how can i trust my home with them? It is about security, not just some groceries shopping at the market! FYI, the 1st tech's attitude was not that nice! Called ADT main line, always push me around because they have to get to respective departments. Moral of my story: Think thrice engaging ADT services
