wah!!! that is super big!!! at least now i can tell people my wardrobe is not as big as yours!!! hehehe..... My shoes cabinet is only 8ft and its not floor to ceiling.... just half height. no wonder your wardrobe costs so much..... but its all worth it!! must take photos to show us, ya??

diva79, hahaha..... yes, hacking 4 walls!!! its not that much lah... want the flat to be as what i dream of. hehehe...

hehehe.... i hope so lah... though my contractor says didn't get approved but he says shouldn't be a problem cos they just want to make sure what we are doing after hacking. But that is the 1st time during these few months that things didn't get done at 1st time. life too good for me, maybe?? hehehe... eh.... i don't know how to sing leh.... can bring them to ktv?? hhhmmm..... isn't that considered as bribing?

wow!! didn't know a bean bag can cost so much.... my gosh!

*high 5* its the same excitement, i think. hahahaha..... can't wait to have everything nice and ready....heheehe.... and i also know that once i move in, will be too lazy to decor the flat. hehehe....

ya loh, i have never heard of hdb have 2 entrances leh.... sound really good leh. how old is the flat? i can consider buying there the next time?? hahahaha.....

Very special!! No wonder you said never been seen before. More pictures please!

You can tell us your ID?? Hehe... Seem nice enough... 8 doors = feet?? I realized a door can be misleading cos some are 450, 500, 550 or even 600mm.

Footprint, I think I found the shop you said. Lots of the painting is on offer. But I could not find anything I like. Maybe one that is passable, but others are totally cannot make it. Colours not sharp, paintings not lively enough. Very "dead"..... But I didn't search all paintings.... Just looked into 2 piles (abt 50 paintings) and asked the man to recommend to me. but whatever i said, he says don't have....Haiz... Bad service too...

oh i see.... was not on this forum last year. Hehehehe....

oh, at least you got an answer. HHmmmm..... you should write into your agent's company and complaint. Maybe they will waive off the commission? at least you get some compensation back?

eh, marshmallow, you know Ely1 personally? some contractors also give 3D leh.

hahahahah..... if my spouse really object violently, then i will put roller blinds loh... for now, no boyfriend yet, not to say husband. So i am not so concern about that.... even if i do, i think based on my characters, i am sure my future hubby will not mind clear glass toilet

ya i know... but when go shopping, sometimes will buy more and sometimes buy too little. you must really know how to cook very well for you to cook it different style for the same things!!

hahaah... if make a hole, it will not have the same effect and the swivel pole cannot put into the wall. Yes, i did think of the transparency but if really worried, can always install a roller blinds in the future. for now, i will leave it open. heheehe.... and no, i am not going to have it frosted cos i want to look out when i shower. heheheeh... if frosted, cannot look out anymore. i already have 1 extra room. i think that is enough if i never need to have home-office. if next time i get married, no problem with toilet having clear glass..... hehehhe.... most hotels nowadays also have see clear glass toilets.....

wow!! then how you know how much will be your total cost of reno?? what if keep on adding till over 100k?

Sorry to hear this. Seem like your purchase is full of obstacles. Try to get hold of the hdb officer for your case and see whether they can advise you. Once you sign the OTP, already considered as legally binding. Can sue you if the seller wants to.

hahaha... ya loh, but let my contractor do a bit of work lah. i make things so easy for him leh.... hahaaha.... ya, they think its a bit too much, knocking down so many walls. so they need more details. still got 2 more weeks before i get keys so should be ok before then.

i know its not good to step on cold tiles but i love the feel..... my body is "heaty" type so easy to get hot so hopefully will not have "wind" in y body. hehehehe...don't know got connection or not. ya, i think $499 for sofa bed is not ex.... i have the same thinking too..... love the look but not the cleaning. heehehe....

I will let contractor handle the officer. If still cannot approved, i will go see the officer himself and get it approved. There are no reason why they won't approve since none of it is pillars leh... some things i am ok, some i will insist. (3) is for me to do my feature wall where my "crouching tiger hidden dragon" wall will be at!! cannot don't do... (4) is for me to change the door opening.... the door to toilet is on the left side, so i am knocking down the right side wall so that the door on the right instead of left. left will be replaced with glass panel.

really? hahahah... if surprises that is not anyone's fault, that i can understand lah. but things like aluminium track which was was in 3D then suddenly have to pay for it? that i will never would agree

hahah... no lah, my house is not studio.... but i have to knock down 4 walls 1) Between Kitchen & dining/living 2) between MBR and the bedroom 2 next to it 3) between bedroom 2 and living 4) between toilet and MBR This is so that my MBR is a very big room!!

ya lah, if i want to change, then top up is sure. but if already agreed, then how can suddenly top up?

1st bad news So far, my journey in getting my flat and renovation have been going on smoothly. No delays, no rejection and no problems at all. Until an hour ago when i was speaking to my contractor regarding a meet up to confirm 3D for tomorrow. He told me that HDB has rejected the application to knock down 4 walls. They only allowed 1 which is between kitchen and living room. Contractor says that he will work it out with the officer. Hopefully next time i hear about this, it will all be approved.

you can see a lot of such kids in mrt nowadays. the parents busy talking on the phone or playing iphone games and let the kids run around mrt loh.... we can only just teach our own and hopefully they will not learn bad manners from their friends....
