True true.. All ends well right? Lol.. I just collected my pass last Tuesday.. Officially a PR!!!

You're lucky that you have an open kitchen concept.. Today, fridge guys came and had trouble moving the fridge into the kitchen.. Too big to fit the door!!!!! In the end, had to remove the fridge doors to bring it in.. Hahaha.. Well, everything seems fine after that.. hopefully no bad side effects on the door..

Hahahaha... ... Would you believe me if I said no???? Anyways, it's different than what you originally wanted.. But at least we got what we originally wanted..

Eh? Does this mean you're a citizenship-less person??? Ur an unwanted citizen.. No country wants to take you in.. Kekekekeke May no regrets renouncing your Malaysian citizenship? I thought you were a PR initially

Been missing for awhile.. Lots of things happening lately.. Everyday gotta travel from west to central for work, then central to east to see the place.. and back to central and then west.. I'm soooo drained!! Work hasn't been kind to me either.. Anyway, finally, updates!!! 9/4/2011 Went to the house during the day time to check on the progress.. The flooring was varnished and the skirting and doors were stained.. YAY!! No pics for that though.. Will be included in the final product.. hehe.. Anyway, spend some time there and then it started raining!! To our horror, we saw this at the WIW THE WIW WAS LEAKING FROM ALL 4 CORNERS!! Can't believe that happened.. I mean, shouldn't the person who did the backings and all should be properly trained and sufficiently knowledgeable to waterproof the entire room?!?! Or at least seal up any gaps/openings which may potentially impact the area? Sigh.. Anyway, immediately contacted red audi and he says his men will get right to it.. Think it took about 3 days for them to do it.. With the recent weather, I think our flooring is probably condemned by then.. Sigh.. Told red audi about the floors and he says Kronotex has went up there to check it, and the flooring seems fine to them.. But anyways, he says he will still change them.. So everything's good (provided he changes them).. I just hope the leaking there is stopped for good.. Was there today (16/4/2011) and it rained.. Didn't see any leaks though.. So I think the issue has been resolved.. *phew*.. Hope it lasts.. The kitchen cabinets previously did not close smoothly.. Still has a slight slamming sound to it.. Got red audi to give us 2 blum's on each door.. PROBLEM SOLVED! With regards to the missing ladder, red audi will deduct from our remaining outstanding balance.. Also noticed our previous LPG gas cylinder is now missing.. zzz.. Anyways, just requires $10 deposit.. So no issue there.. I think his guys will just take whatever they see in the house.. The other day, they even took our plastic stools.. Caught them before they left and took it back *rolleyes*.. Anyway, I'm sure they didn't mean to.. How would a plastic stool cost anyway..

Just wondering, your price excludes installation right? So who is going to fix it for you? How much would it cost? Would it fit any door?

So fast!! Mine although finished significantly, but I think will have a lot to follow up.. Zzzzz.. So envious of you..

Oooh.. How much you got that for? Thinking of getting a digital lock too.. Is that a keypad only lock? No thumbprint recognition?

Ahhh.. Well, you're definitely not missing anything.. Gambling is baaaaaaaaaad.. Hmmm.. Who can be the judge that you "have" good tastes? I don't buy it..

PM-ed

Oh yeaaaa.. I forgot.. I'm sure the gahman will take you in definitely.. But why let go of your current citizenship? Errmm.. Might as well laaaa.. Later, things we have too difficult for u.. Easier to BYO right? Hhaha Ooooh... That's true... Good on you for being strong-willed and not succumb to peer pressure!! Mmmm... Can't really suggest though... I've been said to have lousy tastes.. hehehe.. Gray maybe?? LOL.. Better ask your ID.. later not nice, you'll come after my head!! hhaha

3/4/2011 Not much to update.. In a nut shell, 1. WIW windows up (now fully enclosed) 2. Floor partially polished (Can almost see my own reflection there now!! 3. Staining of wardrobes/ doors/ skirtings 4. Workers cleaned up most of the mess in the condo (place looks much more neater now.. ) 5. Common Toilet mirror up 6. MBR shower screen up That's it.. Quite uneventful week.. New pics will only come in when the feature walls are all completed.. But good news.. ID changed the soft-closing system to blum in the end.. Living room console which was previously laminated with the wrong laminates now re-laminated.. Carpenter laminated over the wrong laminate.. Will this cause any future issue? We looked at our cabinets and realised that all our bottom cabinets are one-doored ones.. Except for the one under the sink.. Guess that's gonna be a problem when we wanna store our plates and bowls.. ****.. regreted not discussing on the layout of cabinets.. In other news, a ladder much like the one purchased by May_dream is missing (compliments from the previous owner).. I think the workers took it back home.. Told ID to retrieve it back for us.. why waste a good thing? Saw some stains on our marble flooring (also compliments from the previous owner).. Immediately told ID about it and he says he will try to resolve it.. Anyways, in case it doesn't work, anyone knows what can I use to clean old stains on marble floors? *Door to WIW* The previous door was a plastic framed door.. Initially, we planned to changed the door to a full frosted glass WIW door (without the frame).. Thought it could be done.. ID proceeded to throw the old door away.. However, after that, he realised that the frame is not removable.. Told us about it after that and suggested to change the frosted glass door to a framed frosted glass door.. But well, since it's not what we wanted, thought we'd just use back the old door (at this stage, we didn't know he threw the old one already).. Was quite disappointed cos we expected him to know if it's do-able or not.. Anyways, told him it is not fair to us if we are forced to pay for something we didn't want and the frosted glass window with frame was not cheap either.. anyway, he told us he'll try to see if he is able to get back the old door frame.. Hope it's not damaged or it's gonna get messy

And old is gold So, what other things are cheaper to buy from the internet than locally? Electricals? Kitchen accessories?

OMG!!! SO EXTEME!!!! And after all that, what a waste.. the tiles were uneven.. How many tiles did you end up testing? I presume this would take quite some time eh? Oh.. you're still a show off!! Have to put a fine-print below there.. **testing does not guarantee even-ness of tiles**

Confirm can work?? Anyway, guess I should buy in batches then.. Look for the best offers and put it all in a cart then ship over.. The price you pay for 1 disc + transportation, you might as well just buy one from the local cd shops!

Oh? I never knew christians aren't supposed to gamble.. Well, there goes my xbox/digital lock donation fund then.. The contrast between our "longkang" and the false ceiling isn't that huge.. We were afraid it wouldn't turn out nice.. But well, the end result was better than expected! Anyway, if you're bold enough, you can try going for a bigger contrast between the 2..

Show off show off show off!!!!!! Actually, no.. Our room is way tinier.. not sure the exact sq ft.. But it's definitely smaller.. I think at most also 200+ sq ft? Your current place already has 2 king sized beds right? I really can't imagine how it'd look.. 2 king sized feels a bit too much imo.. You must be one of those persons who always falls off the bed..

Strangely, I see it's all region coded on amazon (US & Canada only).. Sigh.. Anyways, don't see any nice promos on.. Only 300 going for less than $10.00. . Oh wise RB, please share your knowledge on this.. hahaah

SHOW OFF!!!!! Envious of your huge room.. How are you gonna fill it up?

Import your parents down to take care of reno for you? Kekeke.. Hmm.. Good things cannot rush.. Rush things no good.. Let's see how he juggles the 2.. But you have my prayers too!! Ahh.. so now u can force them to work 24/7? Uh-ohhh.. Nvm.. just give htem a deadline.. Tell them you are having relatives over? Hahaha Wow.. So rare.. Are you even Singaporean??!?!?! jk jk.. Ooooh.. free maid!!! AWESOME!!! will you provide food/drinks too? Hehehe Yea.. It's one of those things, if you don't mention in the photo, no one will notice.. The "longkang" in the false ceiling is also of a different color.. love it.. makes the false ceiling look as though it has more depth there.. Btw, ID has replaced the soft-closing with Blum system.. Though, it realy isn't that much of a difference compared to the previous brandless one.. disappointed..

True.. At least I can share my burden with my wtb.. You are in worse shape than us.. But at least you can take leave!!! I cannot lorr.. Stupid job.. Time to quit and look for a new one.. hahah.. But must get PR first.. But at least he lives up to his words.. so far anyways.. wish you all the best!! But anyway, yea.. biggest regret was to tell the ID that we are not in a rush to move in... Biggest taboo!! But ppl will complain about reno one meh? I thought it's very normal for hdb?? But anyways, it should jsut be this few days only.. After that should be ok liow cos no more hacking right? All your hacking done already if i'm not mistakened right? Uh-oh.. why do I get a feeling that you ARE a hustler?? OMG!!! EVIL!!! you intentionally said you don't play for cash cos u wanna lure me into your trap!!!! I bet Marshmallow's the same too!!!!!!!!

Hahaha.. Then again, when just move in, don't think there'll be time to even play mj.. Lots of things to settle first.. Eeks.. I shudder at that thought.. How comes yours is so fast?? Hmm.. I'm beginning to think my ID's taking his own sweet time.. But actually, I think it's cos mine is a condo.. can't work till late or neighbors will complain.. also weekends cannot work.. Errr... confidence?? Ngahahahahah

Thank you my sifu's How do you know if it the bluray player is region coded or not? Rimblock: don't wanna risk not being able to play the bluray's though.. Also, under normal circumstances, is it cheaper to direct ship it? Or better to go through vpost/borderlinx? Wanted to checkout my shopping of "300".. The shipping cost itself already costs almost as much as the disc itself!! EEEPS!

OOhhhh.. in that case, when are you guys free to play MJ with real $$?? Time to raise some money for my digital lock and xbox.. kekekeke Yea.. Though, the lights are quite overwhelming.. Cannot always turn-on the cove lighting or else electric bill's gonna be a bomb!! The LED light is quite bright surprisingly.. Handover date expected to be on the 16th.. Move-in on the 21st hopefully! *fingers crossed* Oh, anyone noticed the different laminates used for the kitchen cabinet and carcass?? ID proposed to use a diff laminate.. WTB didn't quite agree initially, but in the end, we just simply love the effect..

Agreed that MBR toilet looks nicer.. More grand looking!
