El Nino_Al Nito

Lol...in a way u r right. I normally use my hp to tell time. Alarm also use hp. Only need clock in study room and kitchen for obvious purposes. Actually it'll be getting BOTH our tummies satisfied. I cook too but havent come around to baking. My 1st attempt at oatmeal cookies last weekend turned out flat and ugly. Have some pics of meals i cooked up for my wife to show but like not nice to put in ur blog leh. haha. KitchenAid got the $800+ and 1k+ types. That time wasted when got promo going at $600+ i didnt buy... Oh yah, Goro he very kaypoh one la...got new things in the house will come sniff sniff walk around it many times then stare at it. After he hid behind the curtain i told him dun do it again, he never got near liao. See him lounging on his cat tree not wasted one..... . . .

hi there Banned, im Suspended...that is my cat Terminated... he said thanks for the compliment...hehehe... browsed thru ur t-blog, our layout exactly the same indeed down to the last centimetre! i think only Yishun and Tampines have this layout. what are ur plans for the MBR toilet and store? Oh, i only surf RT at work but past 2 mths doing audit on-site so no net access.. then got World Cup fever...my final furnitures at long last arrived like 2 weeks ago... then got trauma dunno Torres leaving or staying...*sigh* imagine if he had left, my home cannot be called El Nino's Anfield ler... K, enuff crap abt my MIA. i got "complains/requests" also for more pics of my simple home. Will post more pics in due course yah.

im very sure i've seen that wallpaper on some fella's wall. Makes me cross-eyed staring at it. haha Like the overall look of ur reno hcbing! Immaculate indeed.

Lol...so that means its very ex?? cham i did thot its ex but didnt realise the response here seems to point toward a wasteful purchase? Aiyoh...then must look ard again liao. My missus will be pleased. Can use the money saved there to get her a stand mixer. What do you think? Kenwood or Kitchenaid? Haha...Goro has been a good boy. Has put on weight too so i guess he's settled down quite fast in the house. Gave me a scare when i had my curtains newly installed in early June. Could not find him for like 10mins or so. Then i saw this..... . . . . . . Upon closer inspection..... . . .

Ai seh...im eyeing this Karlsson double sided clock from Molecule. When my friend got his, a couple of years back, it was around $300. Now when i call the shop, they told me $370++. Didnt know clocks also got appreciating value? Dunno wanna get a simple one or stick to my guns for this one. Like will complete my living room leh. But at same time make my pockets more koyak. Haha Angteko ah...his moon neither black nor blue. Is baby moon liao. So guess he got other priorities? Maybe if we are lucky can find him in some baby forum?

Pinkytini, i really like the tone of ur game room. Its like calling out seductively to you to come in and game and er...do other stuff. Nice! cant help thinking it'd be more complete with padded walls and floor standing speakers. ur hubby would definitely be boomzed by that!

Mrs Lilith...how goes things down at good 'ol Everton park? Looks like yer moved in too like Samy jie. Or more delays encountered? *touch wood* How's ur tub?

haha...joseeng ker, no wind la...just some mood swing i guess. Will come in once in a blue moon. These few days the moon quite blue so i come lor. Well, nothing beats having ur own home. The freedom and privacy...si bei ho man. Been one problem though. Always waking up late for work! Sleep late or early still reluctant to leave my bed in the morning. Samy jie, sounds like quite a bit for you to buy. I also need a gaming study chair. At the moment recycle my dining chairs 1st since not in use much. Gonna hunt for a 4 feet sofa bed and wall clock (very important yet i forgot!) U busy fighting a war with King Koil?? Lol...Samy jie u promote to platoon sergeant already hah?!?

Samy jie ah.....Look, its me! Came in to say congrats on ur completion and moving in. Like i havent come in to RT for one or two days some time, ur blog has since doubled in terms of posts. Lost track of ur progress but happy for you that you guys made it to the finishing line safe and sound and happy, i guess. More shopping ahead?

sounds like a no brainer, but wouldnt it be better to plaster everything then run trunking? any reason otherwise? instead of plastering those exposed areas only, i'd have at the back of my head that the walls behind the trunking are crying out for a makeover as well. hahaha.... btw, Samy jie, yeah! onwards for your progress...as u all seem to say, wish u a shun shun li li reno yah...

yah hor GG...thats a positive thot...though i think will look out of place if put in magazine la...hehe,see how it goes. its a headache i enjoy actually. was standing in Funz Centre AMK hub looking up and down,left and right at the games on the shelves. Soooo many choices! its my reward for holding off this long. haha i've already set my priorities... FPS, strategy, simulation games -> PC. Action, Sports, Racing games -> PS3 RPG, some sports n racing games -> Xbox 360 Family bonding games -> Wii btw, think i have to forgo getting a 2nd HTS for the room. Space constraints! Argh... Am thinking of settling on the Z5500 instead for console and T3 for PC. U got lobang for the Z5500? $599 is cheapest i find. oh yah, any idea what racing wheel supports both Xbox and PS3? im eyeing the G27 at $499 PC show...seems playable for PC and PS3 only

England, Thanks for the compliments and insights. Think u r too generous with them though. Indeed, World Cup Fever is upon us this next 4 weeks. Lucky havent taken mc yet this year so i should takethis opportunity to use up my quota if needed too. Haha. A cracker of an opening goal too for the hosts. I wldnt be able to do just as good if i tried. Hodgson...my oh my...i really hope it will not come down to this. So he took Fulham to the UEFA Cup final. Its just a one season thing. Plus he's old...kinda short term employment i feel. Would prefer Dalglish irregardless of sentiments. Btw, my wife has given green light for Anfield to host some World Cup matches but only when she's not working and is at home. Another BUT.....TV not in yet!!! Arghh!! Sorry to put a damper on ur hopes mate, but im targetting 25/26/27 june instead. 10pm kick-off 25th June Portugal vs Brazil. I support neither but it looks like a potential table topper. CR7 vs Kaka. Real Samba vs European Samba. Tentatively yeah...we'll see how it goes in two weeks time!

wcseow: Hehe...appreciate ur coments GG...tho i think getting the contractor to post pics in magazine is an over statement! he did said he wna do that but i change the subject coz to me looks quite alright la...would have been better if i had more spending powers... samgalz: er...k la, yishun better then sengkang but only coz its a matured estate. think sengkang more peaceful and serene though. gals_mama: yes ma'am, had to take out the vanity top coz didnt fancy having rainshower within the bathtub. think it looks fine in the MBR since plenty of space in there. pinktini: whats up with the good vs evil / angel vs devil thingy? haha..i was going for a sleek theme with clean modern lines...hope i pulled it off well. btw, if im not wrong, i read that u have a gaming room too eh? quite a number of us on RT having a dedicated gaming room. but nobody can hold a candle to GG lor...hehehe

No leh...i havent move in consider house bring me luck ah? haha...coz won those during reno mah not after leh..hahaha...the excuses i make to condemn Yishun. quite a pleasant estate la my area but verdict is...Yishun bores me! see how la once i walk ard more in the neighbourhood. yah, think better u double triple confirm with Eric prior to delivery. i thot i told him three weeks in advance ok liao...now fifth week after informing leh...haiyoh!

Joseeng: Thanks bro! I think so too! At first i thot kinda squeezy but after me and wife had our first show and jacuzzi session in there, turns out still manageable! Oh yah, just had to try out the bathtub after we spent some time cleaning the house. Verdict: si bei shiok man!!! good massage with soak after a long week at work. Mrs Lilith: Yup, more points for the bathroom eh? Indeed, reno was a pleasant experience with Mr Yeak. Fantastic! Wish we could go through it all over again. The feeling of every few days u go up to ur unit to check on things and u capture every phase and transformation into pictures...WOW! u and Samy jie be going through this at the moment...ENJOY it while it last! ps: im staying at Anfield. and if i ever do move, think i'll join Rafa or maybe the dream team at Camp Nou. Btw, i love Torres' new hairdo!!! think of changing my mourinho gob to his mohawk. Samy jie: Haha...even more points for the bathroom! the hood and hob i got it when they were having promo for the Katana. abt 1.2k bundle. Citygas selling at 2k+ i think...Summer Trading 1.8k, GR Link i think above 1.5k also hence it was a no brainer to get it from Desmond at Asia Excel. think now promo ended liao. i cant wait to cook up my first meal! well, let my wife cook for me first la since she insist...but im more excited with the oven actually... Merydith: moving in end of the month coz still have rental at current place which will be up by then. think if not for some screw ups and delay, my wife is more then happy to move in now. hehe. the votes are accumulating for the bathroom huh...anyways, its a cheapo chandelier. got it to match the theme and sanctuary im going for in there.. Glad u noticed the colour contrast in the kitchen...i love it too! hahaha...

REVIEW Supposed to have 3 quarters of my furnitures in but due to expected screw ups...my bed, sofa, coffee table still pending. From? Ackerman and Smith. Had made the mistake of purchasing from them when i havent come across RenoTalk. Realised soon after that they were crappy from sales representation. One nice fella came in to rectify alot of the damage and we were pleased to proceed. But turns out, once have bad encounter nothing will turn out right. Lucky for them im in no rush to move in till end of the month. Hommage was good in terms of services rendered and follow ups with Eric etc. But he still owe me my divider cum shoe cabinet and side tables. He should have sent in everything together but missed on my side tables order. Again, since im in no hurry and he's a nice fella, i took the chill pill on him. He has to the end of the month to bring in the remaining stuff... Cat Tree for Goro was bought during Pets Stations Atrium sales. Generally, the sales people are nice and pleasant. Not so the delivery man. From China! Crap! Walk into my house in his shoes when its obvious everybody else's was outside. Duh...Said he had assemble the cat tree and seemed to be in a rush so i thot ok, looks fine to me. Turns out he only put on top of each other and never screw the bolts!!! Lucky Goro havent tried his furniture yet. What if it toppled as he jumped on it? Never mind, screw and tighten myself lor. Oh, btw...last pic was after i hoot the Xbox 360 Elite bundle at the PC show. Paiseh, just had to showcase it. Hehehe.... Won Nintendo Wii from a shop's lucky draw. Won the PS3 from company D&D lucky draw. So just had to get the Xbox 360 to make it a hat trick. Due to over excitement, i hoot a new gaming keyboard and mouse just for the sake of it. There goes my race pipes and exhaust system. My wife is more happy though. Hahaha...

Finally! Free time in the office! Hah... 1st two weeks of every month is a b***h! Lets see...what did i miss..... Mrs Lilith: Tsk tsk...got ur wish didnt u? i think it was inevitable but i was gutted for a few days since his departure. how can he go first instead of the owners?? Joseeng: It was 3m upfront with another 3m in installment. Says alot of Rafa being the man and affection he has for Liverpool to forgo the full 16m he is rightfully due seeing the state of the club on its knees at the moment. Big up Rafa! wcseow: im keen on seeing King Kenny take over also! back to the glory old days with the old bootroom boys...oh wait, how many times have we heard this? england: you are one of the few to see some light in Rafa. now that he will be silver spoon fed at Inter im excited to see him do well in Italy. funny guy he ever is, he is looking to bring Macherano and Kuyt with him to San Siro. Gutted that Rafa didnt sign for Juventus though Missyrisc: Thanks! Samy jie: As requested...back to Reno Talk and pics!!!
