Hi hi.... Sorry all.... Sorry mae29, marshmallow, kobelala, csingeu.... I have AGM on 10th so cannot go visiting... I only know abt it today.

Sorry not sure what tile you chosen for your kitchen, your cabinet is wooden grain so don't think red is very suitable. I think better choose black loh. You managed to choose laminate? That's very fast!!!

Yup, choosing tiles are not easy... but at least you have the samples to bring home to think abt it. it took me 2 weeks to choose some of those i took samples but then i still not satisfied. Went to choose again and again.... in the end, went 3 times to take samples and choose. Even bring the tiles to shop for lightings.... hahahah....

all 3 items bought at same place... Howards Storage World!! Went to see their stainless steel rubbish bin but its not as nice as simplehuman.

Valerie, you need part time maid? I am looking for one too....hehehehe..... What type of series you watch? i like to watch TVB series.... stopped watching korean series already. i working between Clarke Quay mrt and Raffles place mrt.

My fridge is also very big.... need a lot of space for drinks.... heheehe... your WTB and be are quite similar. HEhehehe.... ya, i also only know how to play 3 player mj. I asked a lot of ppl, most asked me what is 3 player mj!! haiz.... i am so sad that not many ppl in sg knows how to play that. I have to resort to playing with my nieces and nephews during CNY as no one else knows how to play that. So this aunty teaches her nieces and nephews so she wil not be bored. hehehe... Mine is HDB leh... no matter close what also can hear loh.... so i am quite used to it. THank God my new flat will not have any kids around me... hehehe...

ADDITIONAL PURCHASES 1) Kitchen Trolley I always like the idea of being able to push some of the items here and there... when needed, pull it out and put nearer to area where i wanted. When i don't want it, i can push it aside and be hidden.... well, plan to buy this and put beside my fridge. That are are empty as i did not want to make cabinet next to my fridge. Bought this from Howards Storage World as its cheaper than the one i saw at Ikea. 2) Ladder I am not sure how often any of you have to use ladders to climb up and down. For me, i always needed a ladder to climb to do few things like change light bulbs, clean area that cannot be reached by climbing on chair or even to climb to take items from the top cabinets (even though my new flat do not have top cabinets) Well, I would still need a ladder for cleaning. So when i went to buy my kitchen trolley, i saw this very sturdy ladder which will be good for me to do my cleaning, like my fans and fridge or changing of light bulbs. 3) Towel Rack My theme for my bedroom is resort.... been looking for a bamboo towel racks like those they have at beach resorts..... don't know where to get but thanks to marshmallow, i found it!!!

eggroe, you plan to have party every night? hahahaha..... can invite us from RT to party as well? or you want to play mahjong? Don't think middle aged family with kids will not be noisy.... sometimes kids are super noisy. My neighbour's kid is so noisy, keep on crying!!

So yours are all done?? Show some finished photos leh.... hehehe.... hhmm.... mine quite fast now... not sure whether it will be as fast as it continue on....

what??? what kind of nonsense??? how can the guy called so late and say such thing?? Aiyoh.... where does he work? go call his company to complain lah.....

That's good.... at least you bought most of the electricals that you needed. Happy?? few things less to buy now....

HHMm.... i think all of you are correct. Horizontal makes the bathroom bigger.... never mind, now it will makes the toilet feels higher?

Usually hacking and tiling are quite fast. after that, it might not be as fast anymore. Anyway, i hope it will not stop.... hehehe....

of course of course.....

rugs? he also sell rugs? i don't even know so you can safely say that i didn't get it from him.

RENO DAY 5 Don't know why, these few days or rather these few weeks been really really busy for me. I have a coll that have been on and off sick for 2 months. He only comes in like once a week and sometimes even less. So, on top of taking care of my renovation, i have to look after my work as well. So tiring.... anyway, no more whining... Now, let's talk about my renovation on day 5. Bad news, HDB have yet to approve my hacking of bedroom walls. I wonder how long they going to take to approves it.... But on happier note, my contractor already arrange the tiler to do up the tiles first. Have to start from the toilets, both common and master toilet. Took some photos just now which is not very clear as the flat is a bit dark.... Kitchen have screen.... this is the step before they put on tiles?? Only master bedroom toilet have the tiles up.... Even though i said the tiles should be horizontal, but its put as vertical. don't think going ot make a lot of different so i leave it.

great!!! that sound good.... so see you all on 10th

Ya, eric is very nice person..... i haven't go and custom made my dining chairs yet.

Whenever you like to try my cooking, let me know. i will cook for you... hehe... of course your hubby too. and your bro...

thanks, friends78!!! Thanks for letting me visit your flat.... it is beautiful, especially the kitchen. Maybe because i like to cook, so i like kitchens a lot.... and yours is big and pretty!! hahahha..... and as for your dining lights.... ahheemm..... shall keep it a secret!! hahahaah..... I agreed that your plumber is very friendly and nice. even though i was there for a while only, he always smile and willing to do whatever you ask. When my flat is ready, shall invite you over too...

let me know if you managed to find where to buy... i am thinking of the same too. hehehe.... sorry to hear abt your tap thingy.... never mind, hot water to tap is not that critical to you?

my contractor don't allowed me to keep loh. or else i will keep for 2-3 weeks leh.... like tiles, have sample that can keep as long as possible.

if the bottle is not too big, then i don't think there will be any problem. Maybe a pic of the borax can help those who never seen it on how it looks like. just in case next time i also need to go back malaysia to buy them. Hehehe.....

no need lah.... next time you come to visit my house, we go to the nursery together lah

hhmm.... what my bro did was make 2 strips of "something" so that it will not be smooth.... the strips are a bit rough. HHmm... don't know how to explain to you.... haahaaaah..... you ask your ID to see whether there is anything to make the stairs not so slippery when wet??
