haha...sure wun miss u out when that happens. keeping my mouth zipped. sorry lor El gor gor... double zipped my mouth wahahahaha....

wcseow, u forgot we hv L fans here ah. later not only kacuas vs goro war...machiam Man U vs L all over again i neutral party cos i dun go crazy on soccer

haha coldflamez...dun worry we sure go make noise at ur blog. jus let El know your peeve and he will sure kachiau u.. El, dun kill me

my experience with the corner shelf is those things u put in the inner part will not see light for a LONG time. we tend to forget what we even put inside, not mentioning taking it out. with the pull out basket, u might be motivated to pull it out sometimes to see ba! If can still add on is the best lah, can maximize space as much as possible although still not the optimum. If not then no choice live with it. U can practice rubber arms at home and do more stretching. but remember got to alternate your arms to take things or else long run we will c and with long short arms!!! Did I jus dig at you? I must be catching the bug from El...

Risis, want to check how's your review for the PD door. cos Edmund mention some of his customer complain it's very hard to use and not good. wonder how is it cos was planning to use as toilet door too....Appreciate your feedback

Risis, thanks to you I met Edmund yesterday. Really a nice and sincere guy like what you say. We discuss on my list and he will be giving me a quote coming Wed. Am now leaning towards him after talking with him and hubby has same feeling. Hopefully he can give me a good quote to win me over Told him I saw his reno pics on ur kitchen and he was smiling and blushing. Cute!

haha, if it does poop on the grass then get Ang to clean cos he suggest it

haha, you and El makes the most noise at both your blogs with the Kucua VS Goro war! me plain jane so nothing for u to dig at....hahaha...shhh better dun say too much or El going to try find my peeve.

haha thanks guys for the noise. I dun think I will add in more candidate, with current bunch already find hard to squeeze time to meet and discuss cos hubby work time is erratic. Already I still have some on hand which I did not contact for quote so I will just stick to the few which already replied and going into discussion mode. like wcseow say, see too many also confuse liao. Edmund DX interior says he is contractor who provide 3D. He dun like to be label as designer. He will understand your needs and habbits and from there do suggestions for you to consider, which is what I like cos ultimately the house will be used by us not the ID. So am thinking should I adapt to the house or let the house be designed to adapt to us! In the end, Edmund also agree price plays an important part. He wants us to take a look at his quote when he send over and decide if we want him. He mentioned he can understand that if his price is over other competitors he also dun wan us to take him so pretty hopeful at this moment of time.

I re-looked your cabinets, you can do a "magic basket" for the deep cabinet space. Quite a few are carrying it. one of them is Excel Hardware. Also another is http://ewins-group.com/furnwirebaskets.htm and http://www.genova.com.sg/?p=productsMore&a...ame=OY-13807SSL

Welcome to the RT family! Recently so many join with Big big floor layout. make me so gian... me no choice got to be near MIL so bo bian got to stick to small small house.

My T-blog real quiet leh, but think no choice since I not much update at this point.

ya lor, on the deciding stage. My signature tells all Anyway, an update on the ppl I met so far... CLC - Met Leslie and Jeremy on Monday 22/3, find he quite nice. He gave a few suggestions and told me my ideal kitchen layout that I wanted (L-shaped) cannot be done Sent me the revised quote on 25/3, find it a little over my initial budget in mind and finds weird that he keep pushing me to sign up before 5/4. Discuss and agree with Hubby to meet a few more before making a "informed" decision. We dun wan to regret any decision later on. DX Interiors - Met Edmund 25/3, pretty nice guy who is kind enough to meet me on a last min. Gives us the impression that he is a very sincere and honest guy. Went through the list with him and he offered a few suggestions which we find viable. He said L-shaped kitchen is do-able provided I can accept a single bowl sink which is fine for me. He stressed that all layout will only be able to confirm by site inspection which I can understand. He is not pushy and even suggested we look for direct to save cost for some items. He will be sending me the quote on 31/3 and I shall see if it fits my budget. Both hubby and I are leaning more towards Edmund at this moment of time as we are both very comfortable with him and like him alot. One thing I like very much about Edmund is that he will offer alternative suggestions to our ideas as compared to Leslie making us adapt to his suggestion. I think that's the difference between a designer and contractor ba! Still price decides all so we shall see how. Will be meeting up Jason of Freshlook on Monday and is trying to find a day to meet Thomas of Ken Home and Edmund of Adecor....Siong leh hope can conclude "THE ONE" asap so that I can think of other things. Also dun wan to keep running around and throwing my kid to my MIL to care...sibei pai sey...

El, u can never let go a chance to have a dig at Ang...buay tahan!

Welcome to RT! your flat layout looks nice! spacious.

All the better to support your heavy mirror

hey ang, did u hv the same experience with leslie? even just now when they send the revised quote to me got promo items offered provided i sign up by a date.... and keep asking me to confirm early wor.

yeah, i think so too. have this feeling... anyway, will take my time. if CLC cannot wait for my answer then too bad for them. I dun wan to be pressure to make a decision which I might regret later.

KSJL, you can try Jackson carpet too.. they are the supplier...they are near LUSH. dunno about now but during their warehouse sale, shaggy rugs can sell about $80 per rug where retail price outside is approx $200+

No lah, haven't select yet lah. in the process of shortlisting. just that when I talk to leslie, feels like he more kanchiong than me. he say must cofirm 2 months prior to reno start date...which is approx....NOW. Not kan chiong lah, jus want to give myself more time to think and decide before confirm reno. in fact to start early sourcing is an advice by RT old birds wor.

not the woodlands one, tai seng one....

CLC Leslie told me u can send in the what letter of indemity then contractor will be able to apply the permit asap liao. ur contractor/ID should be able to advise you if you let them know you wan to start work asap. When talking to Leslie, machiam he more kan chiong on the date to start them myself wor LOL... already make me feel he is treating my house as his...

me salute infinite! my mum 50+ got to bug me and hubby when ever she want to do something to her iTouch or laptop. my MIL dun have any high tech stuff and prefers even HP to be as simple as possible. Jus call and answer, she still cannot master SMS. and she is only 60+ ur mum sibei tok gong!!!!

oh ya, forgot i also doing 2 toilet doors and a swing door for kitchen

from your pics, find your layout very similar to my grandmothers 5 rm in Yishun. love the flat cos BIG and spacious..
