me me!!! i'm sourcing ard for nice designs n material...will check Asro out....the thing is, dunno whether they can do custom made stuff....i will go find out

joseeng - ur opennet's installing on 5th apr? getting mine to be done up on 6th apr... chipee - wow...ur HO date is in early apr...sounds gd leh oh, u also met him on sat yeah? i tik shd be before our appt liao cos after we met him, passed him the $$ and he drove off to his other project in sengkang... yeah realised tat abt SS stuff also....every wk scrubbed the stuff sparkling clean...then few days later or the next day later, the water stain comes back...abit sian leh.... but then again, i tik to get easily available and within reasonable budget, stainless steel stuff ok bah i guess

i suppose u r toking abt top cabinets for kitchen rite? today mon abit blur blur....if so, well, as of nw i tik it will be empty when i move in lah....but v v fast, it will be filled up de....alrd before packing, i alrd see alot of our stuff in my parents' place liao....sibei sian man to pack yeah i did tik of tat....but was holding on to it till after total reno done n furniture all in liao, then try to see if anything nice can b done for the wall there....cos too clustered then plus wallpaper on the wall will be disastrous man!!! btw, where's chipee n joseeng today? joseeng, r u the one who's getting ur carpentry works done up tis wk? or was it chipee?

dunno if alot of glass leh since the kitchen cabinets so little liao bomb shelter ar...nw just paint it same colour as wall first....later then tik bah....haiz....tik abt it only headache man....so many opinions until i also

thks bluewater for ur impartial advice :) will do more homework nw starting to get really excited liao man....can't imagine hw the house will look like after reno.... in the end, after discussion with Edmund n hb on sat, we decided to do the glass backsplash above the L-shaped worktop....looks more uniform n easier to clean

yup, i'll be there i also hope everything will be shun shun....

yeah, did mention to Edmund abt the boxing up....tat's y he did mention tat he will be there to oversee too.... serious ar....Bluewater, any advice for lightings.com?

bluewater - thks for ur reminder....yes i'll be there to supervise the aircon trunking works.... KSJL - regarding 2 bowl sink, i totally understand wat u r saying....for my parents' place, we have used 1 big bowl sink n then, nw 2 bowl sink....indeed it's much better....but to sacrifice using a 2 bowl sink vs extra worktop space, i tik i would choose extra worktop space....sinkwise, it's still not tat crucial in tat sense though i know the functionality of it.... as for lightings, hw come u say tat lightings.com's stuff not tat gd quality? u have used theirs before or cos u heard tat alot of ppl keep having to change the lights when it come from lightings.com? or? freebies? dunno wor....everything is written in blk n white in the quotation....guess if he wants to give it to us, he will give us....so we didn't ask for freebies...in fact, **** fast....we just checked the items n added more items....then shortly, sign the contract....farniest part is, Edmund actually asked hb to smoke with him to 'ignite' the new deal....hahhahaha....all in all, we both have gd rapport with Edmund so quite satisfied.... as for quotation amt n all, i tik not too convenient....did ask hb abt it...he's not comfy for me to give it so i guess better respect his decision bah...sorry ar

joseeng - yeah...i went to see lightings.com tat day...their lightings r pretty cheap, i must agree though variety dun seem to have much....could be cos i didn't check out their own shops... btw, latest updates....managed to sign contract with Edmund yesterday....he's super efficient...told him that we actually scheduled our aircon trunking with Best Tech on tues....nw, he already asked his workers to pay the protective layering liao....so we won't miss the schedule.... way to go!!!!

yeah, chipee....but ar, to sacrifice getting 1 bowl instead of 2 bowls vs placing my stove beside my sink....i'm willing to sacrifice lah....so bo bian de KSJL - i dun mind abt the bottle on top of the sink there or solid top lah...just tat i dun like the tot of washing the soap dispenser area if there's accidental split soap ard tat area....anyway i guess to each his own bah oh ya, can ask ar....wat's the diff for Welmi's ss stuff and PJ's ss stuff? no need to clean for Welmi's?

KSJL - yeah....i asked Edmund abt it leh....he also mentioned to get 2 sinks where one is abit smaller....i told him tat it defeats the purpose liao....like tat might as well get a sink where it's just 1 bowl type de.... yup, will get mixer frm them bah....but ar, not sure if i want the soap dispenser thingy....later must go wash the dispenser also....sibei leh cheh leh.....i tik i get those soap bottles where u buy frm watsons tat kind can liao....then buy those refill detergent if dirty liao then throw or sth bah.... nope, we not going to do the shower screen nor the vanity cabinet.... as for granite sink, it's gd but quite ex....at least 2-3 times more of the sinks in PJ....too ex liao lah....btw, we r doing solid top...not granite

KSJL n chipee - i also want undermount sink!!!!!!! tat day asked Edmund, he say can do it but ar, i must get the 1 sink bowl type....just get the larger 1 sink bowl type....confirm cannot get those 2 sink bowl type....else, cannot go in ok loh....for the concept i want, i tik i willing to sacrifice 2 sink bowl to 1 sink bowl KSJL - haven't gone to Balestier Light Arcade but will check it out though erm, i'm quite kuku abt the downlights n LED lights thingy....all i know i tik hb's keen on the L-box thingy....not sure wat kind of lights it is for those.... tell u ar, tat day went down to PJ, their shop just closed....-_- not sure wat other brands to check out though....went to Hoe Kee but not happy with their stuff....their sink choices like limited leh....though they r very into Blanco sinks....too ex liao.... wah seh, if i keep going to the unit, will Edmund feel stressed or not ar? hehehhe

KSJL - we haven't bought lightings and toilet accessories yet leh....any gd recommendations? of cos not pricey one also lah chipee - can understand loh....haiz, we all have same prob....stay in mickey mouse flat but pay HIGH price aiyoyo, u all making me **** excited though my reno not even started at all.....alrd as it is, my heart 'niao niao' liao leh.....once start, i will cheong ar!!!!!!!!

KSJL - ask u ar, if u close ur kitchen door, backyard door n ur kitchen window, then when cooking tat time, macham no ventilation rite? will faint or not ar? wahhahaha.... thks thks....we aim to move in by end may latest....dunno whether too ambitious or not, considering the little things we do nia but hor, maybe i tik it's little but Edmund tik it's still substantial then i sianz liao....hb die die want fast fast de

oic...oh ya hor....forgot u have altar.....yup, can't place dining area there wor....eh, tat means ur kitchen is open concept?

oic....sounds abit chim....u have pic to show? so can know how it looks like

chipee - thks for well wishes.... u can still squeeze dining table into ur kitchen?? or i read wrongly?? KSJL - dun worry, i'm not misunderstanding u on tat....hahahhaa....of cos i noe u r not saying tat abt Edmund lah....true true abt the CES not doing proper job so BSC got to rectify.... of cos we owners have to scrimp n save lah....afterall, $$ is hard earned de....our $$ dun drop from sky mah....most imptly is, do ur reno to ur limit....as long as u like it, can liao.... freebies from Edmund? not sure leh....we going to get his finalized quotation tis wkend....we not hoping for it but if he gives, we r of cos, more than happy lah.....hahhahaa....but as of nw, we r quite happy with his quotation liao....so ok lah

joseeng - my oven will be near kitchen entrance....not good to put near fridge....else, it will damage ur fridge due to the heat emitted from the oven....so hence, we decided to put the fridge next to backyard door n the oven next to kitchen entrance.... KSJL - dun like tat say lah....true lah, BSC must do FOC de....cos it's their so-called 1 yr defect liability (if u r toking in condo terms)...aiyah, Edmund is contractor but it's also a business mah....can't expect him to do everything FOC else, he can just close shop for good liao mah....but then again, when u pay, obviously u tend to expect better 'things'....human beings mah

hahhahaa....tat's wat BSC is for!!!! must do watever rectification u can till they go.... oh ya, can't remember if i mentioned before....remember to always keep ur bomb shelter door closed....else, next time can't close liao....yeah, i tik it's the suction tat makes it **** hard to close....

KSJL - bo bian de....it's more of the top and bottom also have cabinets bah....make full use of space....end of day, our kitchen is alrd small with or without the fixtures inside liao so no choice loh....on top of tat, our place is so space constraint....dun find some space to keep things....it will be even more cluttered...can't imagine if tat happens hahahaha....yeah, hb is into big fridge....i also can't imagine the big fridge will contain wat man....confirm all those junk food

yaloh...i tik it's a common place to place the fridge....although my fridge isn't tat humongous like some of the rest (some having 700L+ fridge), it's still pretty big (500L+) so decided to put it next to backyard door... initially we wanted to replace the backyard door, but cos we going to put the fridge there, might have some issues with the material of the door....in the end, gave up tiking abt it liao....

yup, definitely getting him to do my kitchen cabinet for the side nearer to the backyard, we put the L-shaped cabinet....n also, tall unit + built-in cabinet for my oven and microwave.....seriously i tik my L-shaped is **** mini liao loh....after the tall unit n built in cabinet.... as for the other side near the windows, i'm going to place my stove there and then, sink under the windows....beneath the stove and sink, there will be cabinets too

hahahaha....eh, u tok like my hb also leh....tat day he was complaining on n on abt me focussing all 'energy' on kitchen....making it as functional as it can be just for myself....wahahhahaa.... but ar, must tik abt it....if it's functional, u men will have gd food mah....the way to the man's heart is thru his stomach mah

to be honest ar, for me, tv n living room is not most impt de.....most impt to me, is a functional kitchen....i mean, not tat i can cook superbly well....i tik baking is more of my interest bah...so therefore, my focus all on kitchen....

KSJL - yup, i meant sink right under the windows...i'm intending to put mine there....previously on MHT or phpp forum (i can't remember liao), got ppl say put under window got prob with piping or sth mah...just abit worried.... wah, shiok hor....u alrd put ur wii system liao ar....hahhahaa....wkend can play until siao liao.... eh, KSJL, u leh....u got kids? ur age? hahahha....aiyah just dreaming abit mah....so bad....just burst my bubble like tat....come back to reality liao lah....hahhahaa....haiz, manicure, pedicure, play mj...i doubt i'll have tat kind of life lah....my life is macham to work de....if i dun work, i tik i stay at hm, will ki siao leh....then my hb will also ki siao cos of me....wahhahahaha....mai lah....i tik i jin workaholic man joseeng - thks thks....though like only a few months back just got married, feels v much like married for **** long liao....hahhaha chipee - eh, u meant no gambling orgy but din say, no gambling game rite? whahahahaa....tat means u can still play lah.... now ar, cracking head on the kind of theme, colours etc....more or less got ideas in the head but need to see it for real to visualise..... seriously i tik ar, when my house is finally done up, i will confirm tik i'm floating in the air....just like when they say we got appt to book P&D, i also kena stoned for sometime....jialat rite?
