cornetto

i wanna vote for a but can't seem to do so... btw ur sofa got any backing?? just asking only...

we did plastering to cover up those unsightly stone paint...

sianz. our electrical bill abt $3.1K... no designer switches. rewiring for whole house, 9 double, 9 single, 2 scv, 2 heater, 2 tel, 1 aircon, 31 lighting points...

hi big orange, r u looking at 4-room or 5-room? i can try to dig out my notes if they're still ard. high floor or low floor?

where is the warehouse sale? we still need a plasma tv... =P luppy dun worry too much. sometimes reno can be quite fast... for e.g. whilst laying the tiles, ur ID should be already getting the carpentry fabricated and so on... =)

3 yrs warranty for the plasma tv should be quite sufficient liao?

u got agent to help u find? our agent was pretty efficient lah... but heartpain when we gave him the cheque... almost $3k lo... nearly bought a flat at blk 758 heh heh heh

eh... my mom owns a panny washer... tt's why i didnt get it =P

y issit so expensive? whats the wash load?

heh i wouldnt be able to wait if i were u... once my reno done... i will move everything in! cos planning to hold AD only in 2009... =P heh heh thanks HSH21... me oso quite surprised to see 4-star rating on this one... cos we bought it only 10mins after we saw it... super impulsive...

ooh... 900+ should be $330+ for 5-room liao... location so good~ i think just so happens tt recently there are no sales of the blk 900+ units... tt time i did see one transaction for blk 935 5-room... think it was abt $330K... we still in the midst of renovation... major overhaul... including hacking of all wall & floor tiles... windows also change... plaster & paint... some carpentry... our reno abt $36.5K. furnishings & electrical appliances add up another $16.5K... all in all $53K of our investment. our 5-room flat is at blk 77x near the swimming pool which is just between yishun & khatib mrt. high floor, E-W facing (but luckily not hot). only prob is tt can be quite noisy cos near to mrt tracks... but okay lah at night when sleeping mrt oso stop liao =)

i only hear before tt if dining area is near to entrance, means guests eat finish liao straightaway zao... anyway my previous seller put their dining table right in front of entrance (i.e. foyer)... machiam like reception desk liddat... me dun like... so we change the dining area to somewhere in the middle of the living/dining area... actually can use string curtains if dunwan block partition?? heh dunno just suggesting...

heh recently just gotta know what yokoyoko is =P yishun central ah... depends on which block u prefer... those older ones (20+ yrs i.e. blk 100+, 300+, 700+) val for 4room abt $190-210K & 5room abt $260-270K. might need to top up cash of abt $0-10K for 4-room. 5-room maybe can get below valuation. we got our 5-room at 77x for $2K below val. if u r referring to 93x ones, should be abt $330K. 29x ones also quite expensive... http://www5.hdb.gov.sg/bb33/ispm051p.nsf/Search

thanks cookie! see tt ur reno is done but u still got quite a few items outstanding?? =)

we got our Rinnai RB 3SS and RH 972 for $600. will update all again on whether it is good or not when we move in next month =)

oops just saw ur thread... u referring to the pasar malam at khatib mrt?

recently got a pioneer HTS (model: HTZ252DVD) at cheap sale $399 from courts. wondering if anyone has the same set? how is it? we bought on an impulse cos of the cheap deal & it's good enuff for us amateurs (the 4 piano glossy black tallboys were a big temptation). pls share your experiences =)

nobody designed their own WI gate?

but also heard tt her embroidery fades very fast?

forced savings are good. once pay come in, straightaway transfer to a separate a/c & throw away the atm card lo hehehe. if we dun start saving up, how to retire comfortably next time? need to save up for children's education too when they go to uni right...

just got a quote... 1 queen bed & 50 boxes about $260...

actually considered toshiba washer too... but find the buttons difficult to press? so most likely gg for LG... find it wash quite clean =)

heh we aiming for tt toshiba black glass fridge too. even made the wall tiles black striped glossy... very matching =P

our place currently under renovation by roy (inzen). so far so good =)

seen their workmanship before. looks okay. but the ID wasnt prompt in following up, hence we didnt engage them.
