My hubby also does the washing and ironing. He is also the one mopping and toliet washing. I just do the sweeping, clothes hanging and cooking..

How we going to acid wash the tile? Pour lemon juice or vingear over the tiles?

Unfortunately I dun stay in serangoon now, my parents' place is around that area. Yeah, the trees were there even before we move in. Come to think of it, i think i stayed there like 20 + years ah. There are 2 places to get ur crab fix, the problem is I know how to get there but dun really know the exact road name or stall name.. One is some where near the stadium, i think it is called 168 Joo chiat place or something. NOT that KIM's somethng. Another is the X junction between ave 2 and 3 a kopi shop zi char, the crab bee hoon soup nice.

Man! how u know i going to ask you more weird relations questions. No fun lah like tat. My hubby wants to get his buddy(whom i know pretty well also lah) bro (old school contractor) who did his parent's 3rm to do our new place. My hubby feels that it should be cheaper but i dun seem to agree..

How about bosom friend's brother/father/sister who you know but not that close leh?

the exact same racks (in terms of functionality, materials, mechanism and looks but not sure about the quality) can be found in Jin yu too. Price difference between howard storage and Jin yu is about $50 or more, depending on the size and height. The one in howard storage is either chrome finished or power coated finished. Doubt it is stainless steel though.

Me too, the place is usually pretty quiet too. But the down side of the area is food and marketing is pretty expensive in Serangoon. Oh yeah, surprisingly there are afew good places for crabs around serangoon .

this pic looks like pole system concept but using black poles instead. But this type of concept u have to clean very often on each shelf or else can see a layer of dust after awhile, esp if your place is windy or having upgrading. Also you have to take in account of the weight each shelf can hold before putting the items on them.

Homeless ah.. go camp in East coast park lah.. Can see sun rise and sun set. Sammy, Nice sink! Too bad mine all new toilet stuff and my CFO is giam on replacing new stuff, no matter how ugly they are. Hm.. I think if Edmund's quote is good enough for ur hubby to take the bite, you will drool over all the pretty tiles till everything also want.

Cool price for lights and electrical appliances! Did you take any pics on the lights? I was at mega discount on saturday! Went to check out the washers and dryers, the sales man said that there is package if you buy the washer and dryer. We were seeing Brandt. I dunno if Brandt is a good brand or not but just see loh. May I know where is A Lighting enterprise? I was walking along Geylang road on the city plaza side and dun remember seeing the shop.

Esp seeing the nick before just before dinner. Curry best with lorti! Welcome welcome! I love serangoon area! Your place should be between ave2 and 3 right?

That 22k is my CFO's wish. But I already said it is very hard liao. I would think about 25k for all. We have not buy most of the things but we already know the places which have the items we want. We will try to bargain more and hopefully to drop abit of the price for each item. LOL. " Anyway if really thinking about using LED lights, dun try going to lighting shops. They charge so much higher. You can see the same thing sold in Sim Lim Towers instead CFO wanna have things that are low maintenance and flexible. He is not so keen in spending all at once either, so we are doing the more commonly used stuff. Of course we have some expensive quirks like, both of us prefer granites over solid surface or laminates for our baywindows and my CFO latest, LED lightings.

Currently, we have slowed down our reno preparations as CFO had decided that he wanted to go energy saving with full LED down lights and pandant lights. Had gone to Sim Lim towers and online to search for afew suppliers, he is now evaluating for the better option. Now it is back to the begining of the house designs again as the lightings is now different and we would need to match it.. Duh! Men! Anyway I have complained loud and clear that he had stripped my reno, furnishing and electrical appliances budgets for his led lights. Yup. It is still grand total of EVERYThing to be 22k. Anyway we have found some contacts which will be around ave cost of a downlight of 9W of 720luminence of about 1.5 more expensive than a PLC lights of the same brightness. We have found a scholer (dunno how to spell lah) crystals led pandant lights with 30 over high powered LED cool white and yellow white lights with 4 E14holder(energy saving or halogen lights). The good thing about this light is it can light up a 3m x 3m room just by the led lights and if you wanna it really bright, the 4 halogen or energy saving lights comes in handy. It has like 6 modes of lighting programmed. Too bad we cannot shake off the salesman to take any photos. On a happy note, cfo has contacts for a cheap supplier for wall paper works who usually use left over wall papers from commerial and showrooms, hopefully we can get the wall paper we like for the MBR and 1 side of the hall with the price we can afford. We have sorta finalised what we want for our carpentry works with drawing and came out with the detailed specifications required (Yeah, big part of my regualar job is to write specifications. ). We are more or less going for modern zen design with some contemp and zen funishing. The carpentry are basically high gloss laminates with wood lines. I am thinking of EDL piano gloss. The color is still black and white and shades of silver and gray. Then CFO casually said, "eh I like that red ceiling fan, lets get that." Duh... .

I like the layout in general, but hubby says i am a space hoarder when i cook, so I would need more space to cook chop and put the plates with the raw food (not mentioned the sauces). I am not sure if u are like that, else the space between the sink and the hob is pretty small to me. I think the expensive taste is in the soft close hinges, hobs and the use of better laminiates and back lightings with tempered glass?

Nice!! Wah.. GG can do spying liao! It seems that the dark colored cupboards are smaller in depth than the white cupboards?

Okie, how many say Intra how many say CLC. I still think GG will go to Intra unless CLC gives more perks as GG's bait.

so now is intra 1 clc 0. Why sunday is the final day????

How about using the shoe cabinet as the partition too. So u can plan to put all the shoes at the bottom and store other things on the top, but this means u have to have a deeper depth to be useful. This makes use of all possible space and yet archiving good FS.

Earth to 3 rock! Got any pics of your place with carpentry up and lightings up? I wanna see ur lights.

eh not saying u Queen lah. Queen aka Freddie Mercury lah.. LOL. Okie, if u wanna be queen, I call u queen Sammy loh.

I suddenly have this image of Queen singing that champion song in my mind. LOL

tat is y i call sammy www.asksamgalz.com! Infinitiately cute loh. Hm.. my Eng Ge Lan stuck liao..lol

GG no good lah... Give us cliff hanger. . Which area did u look at.

err so you are going to do $480 for the table and varnishing for 6 chairs ($180 or 1 for $180?) and mouldy side board ($400)??? You going to use back the same color or a darker color?

hehe.. that what I did to one of my friend. Now I have a 1L barrel of sake (the hot type) sitting in my cupboard waiting to be drunk!
