then can see nicely done up new home!!! congrats!!

ya, i know. but its not CHEAP!!! so i am thinking whether to get that or not.

what points are you talking about? Power points?

PAINTING I love paintings, maybe because i can't really draw or paint very well so i admired those that can. So whenever i go overseas, i will try to go to Art museum or art gallery... but i only can understand painting of sceneries, people and living creatures. Abstracts and splashes of colours, will only make me turn my head. So, during lunch, i went to this shop near my office that always been wanting to go in but never did..... never had the chance to go in to look for painting needed. So, today, i took up the courage and went in. At least to know the pricing of the paintings that i might like. So, here are 3 that i think look nice enough for my new home. Painting 1# Painting 2# Painting 3# Let me know what you think? also ignore the plastic cover sheet on painting 1# and 3#

that was my concern too but if i want to have a open spacious looks, then i think i am ok without the top cabinets. i have to see the 3D then decide again lah.... maybe i will do top cabinets in the end?? fyi - i cannot read chinese leh.... hehehehe.... never study chinese before. i don't really like puree cos too fine. even if to make tomatoes puree for pasta, if have some bites of tomatoes, i think i prefer those. so use blender is good enough?

wow!! sound good leh.... then i can look around and you can give me some pointers.

i must say, we have the same taste. I was thinking of red and white for my kitchen too.... and it was way before i know about renotalk or seen the pic of your house. hehehehe.... and now i am going to have photos you taken in my house too.... oohh... if jaden get the chance to come my house, i think he will feel real at home. hahaaah....

i also agree with Simon and marshmallow..... there is no need for cabinet on top of fridge. Firstly you will not put much things there. Secondly, what if next time you want to get taller fridge? I also specifically tell my contractor not to have cabinet on the top of my fridge and also one side of my fridge is also empty so that i can buy bigger fridge next time (although mine at the moment already considered one of the biggest to go through my main door ) But for you, i don't know about your fridge size so i don't know whether that is the biggest you can get to fit through your main door. Anyhow, its always good not to limit the size of fridge by having a "box-in" just nicely for the fridge.

hhmm... i might be in jurong this weekend. my church moved back to Jurong for 2 weeks before we will go to Suntec!! so i might have some time to go see your house.... i will pm you for your number again. i think i didn't keep it the last time you sms me. sorry lah... your living/dining can be a ballet dancing hall? hahaahha..... footprint, after making the island, my kitchen doesn't look at spacious anymore although i am trying to have the illusion of space by not having top cabinets. i wonder whether it will work or not. need to see the 3D first. still waiting for my contractor to show me the 3D. ah i see... mango puree and tomatoes puree.... so what different using blender?? i make mango sago dessert also use blender to make the puree leh....

friends78, no problem!!! the more lively is my thread, the better it is. I like a very merry and lively thread.....

make puree for what? i only can think of making puree for babies leh... hehehehe... so i don't think i need that for the moment or for long time to come. hahahaha.... living/dining is big is good mah.... more time to spend relaxing in living room and bigger place for gathering as well. oh, your L-shaped kitchen is only 13ft? that is quite small leh.... mine is 9ft on 1 side but as i am making a 10ft island, then at least i have 19ft loh and also a 2ft tall cabinet where my oven will be. i am still thinking whether want the top cabinet.... i can if i want to although i am thinking its a waste cos seldom have things to put at top cabinet. hate to climb up and down.... hahaaaahaha...... i cannot imagine how can your flat be 2x your parents and yet MBR is same. i have to go your house to have a look one day.

thanks yumiko.... i am getting old..

Sorry can't help you on it except that may you can try to use the money paid at the shop to get lights that you need for your em. The other advise would be not to pay for anything in full.

Finally, can see you having own t-blog!!! Must record and show your Reno journey.

Complain to city gas lah. At least they know who is doing a lousy job.

I think you haven't tell us who did such poor job. Tell him off lah... Who ask him to do such lousy job?

Hmmm but my kitchen is open concept. Won't it be weird also to have different tiles for kitchen and dining when the island is in between both??

Thanks!! Saw it... Hmmm... I think I will go with hand blender for the moment. Seem like a lot if things already for my new house. Later my kitchen cannot fit everything. Haha.... At least I know what I need if I need to make purée.

i like your master bedroom's wardrobe......

Mine is crystals and 762 of them for $1.4k with GST. so $1k with GST will be nearly $1.1k leh... wah!! really not worth it leh..... i think the Nest is better in that sense..... at least next time got better budget, throw away the Nest for birds to use as nest also wont' be so heartache. hehehee....

i passed by citi light yesterday while walking PA HQ. wah.... that molecule will cost you ard $1k? that is a bit ex leh....

hhmm... i also think of getting a $50 mixer but after looking around for those, i just don't like the plastic feel. so in the end, i didn't get those $50 kind... hehehehe.... yours also 4 room leh... 1sqm bigger than mine. How can the kitchen be so small? where is big then? master bedroom? hahaahha.... ok then... will ask you once my house is ready to invite people over. then you can see whatever you want to see..... i have a juicer already leh. so no need food processor to make juice. blend and mince? i still use chopper and tok tok tok again and again... hehehee....

aiyoh, 1/3 to 22/2 is not that much different loh... still have 359 days for you to plan!!! that is quite long.... no stress lah... won't go bald, and if grow white hair then dye loh.... no problem!!

ya, i know... that is the bad thing abt the cheaper kenwood version. cannot buy accessories as attachment. never mind, when i am better in using that, i will upgrade. Just like good diamonds, can always upgrade!!

BTO flats already at subsidies pricing so no more grants.
