hahaahha... sorry for not posting earlier. I use kitchen a lot and i know how "mah fan" it can be if oil, sauces + whatever spill unto the tiles then will be difficult to clean. I don't wash kitchen with buckets of water, i just wipe. that is why step 4 is to see whether normal mopping can clean the tiles or not. actually i did another step, which is to put the tiles on the floor near my bed and everyday i pass by i will look at it and see whether i can stand looking at it for days and days. -
my internet is $80+ leh... also don't have such good deal!!! ok, next year will look out for this kind of deal.

RENOVATION DAY 10 - STRESSFUL DAY I am not sure how tiles selections are done by you all. For me, i need to make sure the colour matches my overall theme and i will put through the tiles through "stress test". What i mean by "stress test"?? LOL 1) At the shop (soon bee huat / hafary), pour some water on top of the tile and use my feet to try to walk - to see whether slippery or not. 2) Those that are not slippery, take samples from the shop 2) pour oil, soya sauce (dark and light), ribena and whatever i can find in my kitchen 3) leave it overnight 4) use a cloth to wipe off the next day (gently, not scrubbing) 5) if it can come off easily, then can be considered for next test 6) use a marker and write on it 7) use another cloth and try to scrub it off with a little soap. 8) final test, use a little alcohol and rub on the tile. See whether the colour of the tiles will change sound difficult? well, i don't know any other way to make sure the tiles are slippery, easily cleaned and will not lose colour. After doing all these to 3 different tiles, i finally chosen the one for my living/dining/kitchen + bedrooms. BUT GUESS WHAT?? The tiles was delivered today and its uneven!!! So the tiler told my contractor then he called me to go down to have a look urgently. Went to see and really, the tiles are uneven... some are U-shaped and some are n-shaped. hhmmm.... was not really angry but stressed out. So quickly went to SBH again to choose another tile. This time, i only managed to do step 1... sob sob..... hopefully it will be ok!!! -

csingeu, i think your calculation is wrong lah. how can a room be 0.9x2.4m? 0.9m is super narrow, only as big as a doorway.... ya, 1sqm doesn't make that much of a different... hehehe.... -

what you type sound very simple but each psf especially kitchen cabinet, kitchen island, feature wall, etc are all by psf. very difficult to judge... just get a few to know whether that is the going rate.
-
