It have been more than two years. Having save some money, now getting quotations to proceed buidling some carpentry works. Hope to start soon. Please stay tune.......

Thanks bro. It have been a long time since I last visit the blog.

My Pico Marine Tanks It has been a long time since the last post, I have a pico marines tank since the Aug 2011, it is a one feet cube tank. Enjoy the video.

I only cut the glass for the table top. I do not know whether the shop does the repair for the kitchen door. The shop is a famous shop for the aquarium tank maker, it is N30. They make good aquarium tanks. Beside the aquarium tank, they can cut different size of glass, somes are very low in iron which is used for tank front.

Someone ask where did I get the table from, it is from IKEA. The model is UDDEN. The height is high enough to put the washing machine under the table. However, you may need to remove the centre support bar at the legs so as the table is close to the wall. As for the black glass top, I customised cut it from a glass shop in Ang Mo Kio. It is about $100+ with a glass thickness of 10mm.

Marine Fish Shops Few marine fish shops that I normally go: 1. Coral Farm Aquaristic Pte Ltd 60 Lim Chu kang Lane 6F, Singapore 718843 2. Aquarium Irwarna Plot 133 Pasir Ris Dr 12 Singapore 510000 3. Pacific Marine (Ah Beng) Plot 32 Pasir Ris Dr 12 Singapore 510000 Be patient during the startup, let it cycles a bit longer.

My First Marine Tanks Remember in the post #205 on the Washing Machine Table, I am re-arranging my living room, it is for this..... I have been keeping freshwater fishes since young, In the new house, I decided to try out marine fishes tanks beside the freshwater fish tanks. The experience gained from freshwater fish is put to good use, and the additional knowledge gained from marine fish is refreshing. This marine tank is about 4 month ago. Hope you enjoy the video (taken in 3 July 2011 evening) .

Thanks. I have stated the total cost in the pevious posts. The only diffference is there are some discounts after that amount I stated. As for the breakdown, I think it is not so good to give, this is my personnal view. Sorry, cannot help you on this. It is better for you to get some quotes to compare.

Washing Machine Table It have been some time since the last post, finally I find a suitable table with black glass top to put below the washing machine and also purchase a laundry bin from ikea. Only thing still looking is the suitable dinning table to replace the wooden cabinet position..... Hope to find it soon. Also to some re-arrangement on the living room, will post some another days.

Fish Shop - Sea View Aquarium One of the recommended fish shops is Sea View Aquarium (Singapore) Pte Ltd 2 Seletar West Farmway 2, Singapore 798098 Tel : 6482 0733 They give 15% discounts on aquarium accessories if the purchase more than $10. ‎They also give 10% discounts on aquarium fishes if the purchase on fishes more than $10. They only sell freshwater fish. Hope they sell both marine and freshwater fishes in the future. Only disadvantage is the location at Jalan Kayu, its location is a bit out of place, maybe need a car to go there or you need to walk about 100m from the main road Jalan Kayu.. Sea View location

Thanks. Will update the locations/shops that sell cheap and reasonable prices fishes and accessories later.

2 tier 2 feet Fish Tanks Last few weeks, we are busy re-arranging the foyer area infront of the main door, we have removed the old cabinet and get a 2-tier 2 feets tanks. Cycled the tanks for 4 weeks before increasing the number of fishes in the tanks, the tanks are now mature with zero ammonia and zero nitrite. Top tank: Bottom tank:

The kitchen cabinet is laminated with EDL laminates, the color used is Gray Hugo from the Stardust series. It is grey in color with shinny silver things inside the laminate. Very lasting modern look with glossy surface. We decided not to use white because it need regular cleaning, very easy to sport dirty parts when it is not clean properly. Secondly, we cook quite offen, 4-5 times in a week for dinner, so cannot affort everyday cleaning like crazy. Offen the white laminate will turn yellowish because of oil stains.

FengShui - Locate and Corner your wealth in the Living room 1) To find your own wealth area in your living room: The wealth corner is located at 45 degrees (on left or right side) of the main door to the opposite end of the living room. For my case: 2) Place some wealth-enhancing artifacts, like an amethyst crystal cave, gold ingots or coins, and a healthy, lush green plants at this corner. For my case: Coins and a healthy, lush green plant (see my previous postings) 3) This is not the only method, there are other methods around. 4) Remember that money is never enough. You need to donate if there is excess cash... for your next life.

Living room's and Kitchen's Lights I used 8 light points (4 on each side) and one fan point, no cove lighting. I am used 2*18W (I think) for each light point. It is bright enough. The down light is brought from lighting.com, not sure about the brand. It is cheaper than the Philips down light that used the energy-saving light bulbs, the price is $24 per pcs plus bulbs. I spend $304 for 8 downlights in the living room and two circular lights in the kitchen. Living room Down light: Kitchen light: I choose circular light because it is easily to find the light bubs (40W).

I hack the door frame because it have been painted many times, and it is very difficult to remove the paints and it looks uneven even with the new paints. Furthermore, I want to seal up the top of the frame with concrete blocks. As for veneer door, I guess it should look more class.

I do not have any copy right, maybe should apply one.... Just joking... The storeroom is in it's original condition, I just paint the wall, the door and door frame are changed, similar to the bedroom door and frame. I brought a Ikea rack, it is post in post # 46. Are your new flat in tampines too?

Sofa Cushions: Brought 6 cushions from the neighborhood shops (3 pcs for $10) and the cushion cover from Isetan and BHG. The flower type is $8.80/two pcs from Isetan and the Zen type (centre bar) is $9.90/pcs (i think, I loss the receipt) from BHG. All ready for Chinese New Year. After Chinese New Year, look for a fish tank and maybe a carpet and wall deco if there is nice ones....... HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR, everyone!!!!!!!

Just some reviews and comments, I have no problem with the quality of the doors. Veneer door I guess can not be varnish again when it get old and dirty, but the ntatoh door can. Correct me if I am wrong. It is better to check with HDB on this, my flat I think can not be hacked as it is a perfab flat (I never ask the HDB). Anyway, for open concept kitchen, it looks bright and space and it brings light to the living room. However, you need to maintain the cleanliness and neatness of the kitchen, so that it is not so messy and things are well arranged and organised. If not, it will look untidy and messy from the living room. So you need to spend time not only to clean but also to arrange nicely every time after cooking. Hope you have a smooth reno. Wish everyone a happy chinese new year.

The price is in post number 133, it is $280 per door included the lever lock, the door written in the quotation stated as solid naytoh-ply wooden door. Not sure what they are called.

Mine until now, have no problem since I installed it on monday night. I have been switching it on for more than 18 hours per day because of fengsui, that corner needs to have light... . You need a good power supply, the controller can drive LEDs upto 6A, so should not have problem as long you donot over-load it.

LED Strip installed at the back of the TV Console: Usung the 3M tape provided in the LED strip installed it at the back of the TV console: At day time with Red LED light: At night time with Blue LED light: At the side of the console with Green LED light:

I have used the same the Black and white tiles for my common toilet, the effect is not bad and quite nice. Do add some mosaic tile to it. It is worth it with a little extra.....
