she just trying to be nice lah.... don't scold her lah. later she will think you are a very difficult mother in law. hehehehe.... she still young, don't really know how to make sure the soup won't overflow. ask her to be careful in the future loh...hehehe....

Hope you and your wife will be able to choose something on Wed.... heheehe..... most importantly, how you feel abt he colours loh. as long as you feel you will be happy looking at them all time.

Congrats!!! Nice place.... i like the orange coloured wardrobe!!

steelze, you didn't read my reno update just 2 hours ago? its already approved!!!

Ya, 35K cov is really really worth it!!! mine is only 4 room already 30k COV. My friend looking at one not very near mrt but also asking for 35k cov for a 4room. now just waiting for you to start your reno.

steelze, i just realised you also have rockstone wall and ceilings, same as me. My contractor also asked me to do plastering. Since yours still looks good, i guess i don't need to worry abt it too.

i think it depends on different officer. some are more difficult so might not get approved. And some are ok then they will approve it...

hahahaha... thanks thanks.... i am jumping with joy too. I really cannot imagine if i cannot have the whole 2 rooms as my bedroom. As i mentioned before, no plan B leh.... there is only plan A and plan A only! Will show pic when the 2 walls are gone.... then i will be able to imagine how big my bedroom would be.

even if not simplehuman trash bin, all others also abt the same price leh... not much different, i find.

Ya HDB officers are not easy to handle. The one taking care of mine also very very difficult. But i am glad mine just got approved!! hehehe.... for mine, the toilet also took a long while to get approved as they are worried that we might extend the bathrooms then leakages will happen. like yours, you will put the bath tub so they are more worried loh.... so if they don't allow, what are you going to do? Good buy!!! for the gateman with the veneer main door!!

HACKING APPROVED Another hurdle that has been overcome. I am so happy.... Finally after pending for 2 weeks, the 2 walls for the master bedroom can be hacked!!! My plan of a big big bed + big big wardrobe can be fulfilled. Although i think, 15.5ft is not that big after all especially there is also a dressing table. I also went to look at the tiling... will post the pic tonight. Starting to look very nice....

I only got 1 of my special light from Chan Huat. I find their lightings are quite special too.... but i already bought most of my items so i didn't buy more from them. their pricing also quite ok. But like what Marshy is saying, csingeu, if you can find them at those shops near her house, then might as well buy from there loh.

rmgthatsme, the mall near esplanade is Marina Square. They have homefix, not howards storage world. There are only 2 branches in sg for HSW. see the link : http://www.hsw.com.sg/contact.html I think your wife went to wrong mall.... maybe she is going to harbourfront which is next to vivo city, not next to esplanade?

Ya, they have some interesting stuffs.... not as much as ikea but then some important stuff can get from there loh... go have a look lah...

How much you paid for your gateman digital lock? i got the one from samsung.... ya loh, mine hacking also still pending. i don't know how long they need to pend it..... i hope will be approved today or tomorrow as the tiler need to continue with floor tiles by these 2-3 days. I think toilet and kitchen are done.....

3 player mj is quicker and the winning are bigger too. Basically you are calculating how many "folds" you have. A lot based on flowers.... not only you will need to take out 1 suit, its taking out 2 suits actually. For 3 player mj, there is no need for "wan-zhi" or "shuk-zhi". Only uses "tong-zhi" or those circles tiles + all the winds (east, south, west, north) + "big" tiles like "bai pan, hong zhong, fa cai". Next time when my house is ready, i will teach you how to play 3 player mj lah... hehehehe....

this cost $79.95..... i also been looking for this and i am glad i found it.

maybe i put it as 15th May? reglxt, friends78, lazybum9 - are you ok for the RT forummers to visit your place on this day? Its a sunday! Boon Keng also not that near leh... you need to take mrt to outram then change to purple line to BK. Ya, i hope my reno will be smooth and finish on time!! that is very crucial too.... i hope ah gong will approve by today or tomorrow.

Marshy, my floor tiles and floor tiles for toilet are the same size, both also 60x30. So i am not sure vertical or horizontal going to make any different. later i go see and take more photos.... if they have finish something for me to take photos... hehehehe.... Even though the ceiling for hdb is not high, but standing on chairs alone how to clean fans or change light bulbs? HEhehehe... your hubby don't want you to keep too many things... maybe your store room already super full?? haahaha.... Go buy one lah... but if don't buy also ok lah... ask him to do those tasks that need to climb since he threw away the ladder... hehehee.... don't worry, even if you don't intro HSW, i will still but all the 3 items above.... only where i would buy them. For eg, the kitchen trolley, thinking of ikea but lightly more ex.... ladder maybe will go neighbourhood shop but might not find one that is as sturdy and safe as this (there is a handle at the top so can hold even on the top step) and maybe some expensive shop for the bamboo towel rack.... so overall, going to HSW might be cheaper? hehehehe....

you don't try to tempt me again leh.... i already trying to give up the idea of buying that nice big thrashbin by simplehuman. The 4 steps ladder is $189. If you buy the 3 steps, then its only $129. You are welcome to join as well.... but i am not sure when will be a good time... will update again here.

All are welcome!! You want to see the "just finished" flat or the "live in" flat? If lived in, then have to wait till mid May.

That's what I am thinking... Just buy simplehuman but the price also very nice loh... Lazybum, if they give you something, what is it that you would want?? The bin? The caddy?

Haha... So I will not be only one doing it vertical. Ok lah, then I won't make noise but leave it as it is. I tried the 3 steps but I can't touch the ceiling so tried the 4 steps and it's ok. I guess steps ladder is one thing you will use forever as it will not get spoilt?? From normal usage lah.... Ya, it's very very sturdy... I like....

Cannot leh... Too short to try to clean the top with a chair. Anyway I want it to change light bulbs.

Then better you choose black or white. Red will be too much liao....
