well got some of the shelves, but all no doors ... hahaha I was really mad that day.. but alas.. over liao For the smell.. i put acitivated carbon bought from fish shop, moth balls.. I actually listened to mao mao (erm forgot his name while typing this post.. the owner of mabari house hahaha) and put a bowl of water with lemon slices in my new fridge, really smell gone very quickly. didnt try it in cupboards tho.. the activated carbon works but slowly.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm good good!!! Glad to hear of the progress.. stupid office pc, cannot see any pictures here.. zzzz

Most likely jin long yu? Red nice ma? This one I leave it to my bro.. if I had my way, the fish tank will be filled with little jelly fish Nowadays house warming pple give voucher one right? hmmmmm get an ice cream maker and make all my neighbours fat? hahaha

Fwah! Lion open mouth big big.. hahahah I don't dare wor... she already gave me something ex for my birthday..

ya agreed that carpentry work is the least time consuming, but if they have problem in production, then cannot come install either.. thats what happened to me... all the cabinets only up the 'kak'/ shell... i had to delay everything, some furniture cannot reschedule so had to be delivered and suffered all the dust while the carpentry comes in.. drilling.. sawing... faintz.. dust everywhere.. basket

OMG!!!! Ok I tell you ah.. u better hound them every day, carpentry is most important, dont let them say 'sure sure can can..' but in the end put the the shells only... some more after put up liao, got strong smell so u need to air them out too. I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you...

Psssssst... 4 days to what har? move in??

Yes Mao Mao Snr.. lol Actually the handles are coated with grease stains I think... long term coating from yrs of cooking and never cleaning them.. so grossed out man...

My HK Boss asked me to choose a gift for my new home... what should I buy?? Be indulgent and buy an Ice Cream Maker? Be practical and get a new Vacuum Cleaner? What what what....?

hahaha thanks for leaving your footprints here Footprint! Well, I wanted a coral reef, but too ex to maintain.. simi chiller la... zzzz We will be rearing arrowana (is it spelt this way? yesterday my bro nearly spat out his rice when I pronounced as arroguaanaaa) and another 2 types of fish I think (I lost interest ever since my bro rolled his eyes on my jelly fish suggestion) hahaha

Omg!! I love hackings!!! Shiok right to see the oldies go down? haha

Amitabah.....

Thanks for dropping by Incubator! Ahhhhhh the secret is .... 1) Muscles 2) Water 3) Green rough side of the Scotch sponge (ok ok, don't need to be branded as long as rough side but please dont use sand paper) 4) CIF 5) Scrub, Scrub, Scrub <--- If it helps, be a little drunk.

I must not tell you that everyone else around you is not normal.. i must not.. hahas fish market .. except buying very expensive ikan... a very big decision ... The disruptions are inevitable even if you decide not to rent a place... still got to uproot yrselves, pack, move, unpack.. argghhh just that u got to do 1 more time if u rent a place. But I think in the long run, still better for you if you are not in a hurry to get a new place. And since you are a home maker (sorta) now, you can afford to take your time getting ready the new place (i.e. after you have successful bought your fish lah) Although I didn't face your exact dilemna about waiting out the COV vs rental. I did have to rent a place because both buyer and seller played me out. The buyer left no room to allow me to stay longer (even though I wanted to pay rent), and the seller could not let me early renovate as promised before and a delay in my renovations. So I had to split 3ways: humans to rented apt, majority of the barangs to storage, pets (they are like my children so imagine separating from them arggghh) to boarding. Moving everything back took some coordination work, friend's help, movers costs but every puzzle is now back together again

Hi Incubator, Welcome to RT. Not sure if I am reading your content correctly, but it seems that you have been looking for a new place since 2009 but yet to sell the current one yet? If staying with your in-laws (or parents) is out of the question, then renting a unit is a good idea if your finances permit:- 1) Privacy 2) Take your time to find your dream home I don't think you should make yr head explode thinking about the costs of waiting out the COV vs rentals. Why don't think of it this way: that you will have ample time to look for 'The One'?

Fabulous!!!!

The rented place in Fernvale which I was staying for 2 months had the sofa 'side by side' against the wall.. its just so weird, imagine your guests come visiting and they all sitting in a row... a funny sight... This arrangement seems the most ideal, but I do see your point of smaller space. Perhaps have them closer each other and put a nice lamp/side table/plant at the 'corner gap' where both sofas meet? Very plush sofas btw

Hi Hafiizh! Thank you for your compliments! Yes, I soooooooooo resisted buying a painting for the living and dining walls.. I think this simplistic look is much nicer and soothing to the eye. Can't agree more with the furniture selection comment. Love my Gobi Sofa! The long 3 seater is actually a sofa bed. The back of the 1 seater can be rotated to recline even further for snoozing .. Laptop table is so versatile... portable too! hehehe Thats lazy people furniture for ya...

Gooooooooooooood morning Roy!! and thank you for your compliments! Glad you like it! Well, not sure any of you noticed but I haven't post any bedroom pictures.. my bro's room is perpetually looking like a hurricane just swept through..

Wa faint! Are you gonna spend your time wiping mirrors? hehehehe I love the balcony tiles.. rustic! Are you gonna keep them?

Thank you stardust205! Woman's curves those are

Thanks West! Glad you approved

Those chairs havent really been put to good use yet, so far just for display.. the only time we sat on them was to simulate steamboat (remember that episode? lol) They came nicely varnished, bottom smooth... so hopefully fingers crossed, will be able to tong for awhile... haha

lol yes
