thanks. but tat light is not from the kitchen lights.. it's from those normal makeshift T5 lights the carpenters were using when working.. haha.. trying to upload some pics now.. show u how kitchen lights looks like.. more works done last night!

Hi May, I got the hood at Mayer Marketing, together with the hob and oven.

im lazy la.. haha.. so even though i like those swee swee tiles, i still end up with something easy to clean. haha

That's a very constructive review on the 5 system. I will take note of the recurring cost and warranty. Now that we have narrow down to 2 system, I think i can make better decision. Will update the cost and recurring cost for the benefits of the rest soon. Thanks so much gkbt.

More carpentry works. Pictures taken last night with hp camera so pardon me for the blurry pictures. Kitchen Hood is up as well!!

we are applying leave next friday to receive furnitures.. lol hood was installed yesterday and more carpentry works done. later upload more pics if i have the time. handover earlier is good! can enjoy the house earlier.. haha

nice tiles at your MBR and common toilet. but would it be difficult to clean the waves and squares?

gkbt,that's a very detailed explanation on alkaline water. Do you have any recommendation for system that purely do water filtration? I have come across so many different brand and yet to decide which to get. These are the few brands that I have found so far : 1) 3M Water Purification System - AP Easy Complete (http://solutions.3m.com.sg/wps/portal/3M/en_SG/WPS/main/) 2) Hyflux Ultra Filter HF1P (http://www.hyfluxconsumer.com/product/view/4) 3) SwissPro SMART (http://www.swisspro.sg/water-solutions/res.../swisspro-smart) 4) EvoPure Residential PW12 (http://evopuresingapore.com/) 5) UltraPure Water system (http://www.ultrapure.com.sg/DW-KwikChange.html) 6) SoPure Water Filters (http://waterfilter.com.sg/index.php?option...=7&Itemid=2) I'm not very sound in the science part of water filter system like filter finest or membrane contained so hope you can advice me on this as well. Thanks! Cheers

We no longer need torch light when we go at night! Lightings for the rooms Ceiling Fan @ Living Ceiling The holes are cut for LED lights. Powerpoint Luckily the color of backing for the switches looks quite similar to the face plates. Job well done by Mr Payton However, we kinda regretted not getting all white color switches/power point as some of the backings were scratched during installation.. gotta respray/touch up.. haiz
