Ellllo All... I am back with updates. This waiting game is so Horrible. Tell me about it! Finally Today, all the Hacking & Sealing Up & Construct new Wall is APPROVED! Hip Hip HoooRaayyyy! I will be seeing my contractor this week to discuss on the Kitchen Plans, Wiring & Electrical Plans, A/C Plans, Wardrobe Plans Wahhh so many things to do! Bye .. Update you Soon...stay tune!

Week 4 (26/02/2012) It has been a full month now..& here are the updates on reno; Aircon Contractor came for accessing the house and we plan for gas & piping plan. But at this moment, we cannot do anything yet. So they came to dismantle all the existing Aircon. Nothing much to be done as still waiting for the HDB approval. And Lastly We head to JB and found a Lights for the Master bedroom. Bought it at SGD580 @ Fancy Lighting just opposite Jusco Terbau So i think it such a steal as i go everywhere in Singapore, price range for such lights starts from $980 Bling Bling...Nice right....Me likey~~

And here are the reno updates for the 3rd & 4th week; - Laying of Kitchen Area Wall Tiles - New dustbin

Week 3 (19/03/2012) & Week 4 (26/03/2012) Now , we have come to the end of a full month. HDB called and say that they wil cancell my reno application. This time the HDB officer wants my contractor to submit the Hacking of Wall one by one... This will takes at least 2-3 weeks delay. So you can see the walls that is still standing after so long, cannot be hack yet.. Everything stuck.. boh pian...lah

Week 2 (12/03/2012) To do List this week, - To meet A/C contractor - To Confirm Washer & Dryer Measurement Reno Updates, Here some photos to share. As nothing much i can comment cause everything is still in process. I am hoping the Kitchen toilet at the combine toilet can be seal up with Hollow block. Still waiting for HDB approval ...Right now nothing can be done . For now I can enter the combine toilets from both sides, from the kitchen & Masterbedroom Enterance I did mentioned earlier about selecting tiles at the warehouse is a pain, So i just select the ones at Showroom. Just follow the same...You can't be possibly go wrong. So this is it.... Also this week they have dismantle and replace the steel door frame to Wooden Frame for the whole house.

Here are the rest of RENO Updates of Week 1 ; - Dismantle & replace new Pipes for whole house. Look very clean & sleek looking.ya. - Dismantle Windows & replace with white powder coated rails I was there to see the progress and coincident i spotted the windows panes in Blue. I have ordered for Green tinted ones . Unfortunately caused of this error by my contractor, My house turn out to be Windowpanes less till next week. They need at least 1 week to make and deliver the correct ones. But i make sure that i am not held responsible if anything goes missing. Is the contractor fault. At night when we went to do the routine night inspection on the progress of reno. Hubby is unlocking the padlock that was lock by the contractor. I say to him ...No point they lock the door. You can easily comes in by the Window...

Week 1 (5/3/2012) To do List -Select Color Scheme -Select Kitchen, Living Room , Bathroom Floor & Wall tiles -Buy WC for 3 bathroom -Buy Lighting for whole house Finally, hacking start! Currently only the walls to combine the Mastertoilet & common toilet is approved. All other hacking of walls need to wait for HDB approval. Within the week too, my Contrator managed to hand me Photos of 3D image of Dining & Masterbedroom. He have showed me the Dulux Paint catalog, Ask me the color scheme, that he mentioned that his ID will come out with something. Is pretty close to what i want, but I thought it should be like siting with ID, and try all possible colors to create the ideal color scheme for wall and floor tiles color.

Hello Everyone.. It has been a while. Many many story to share. But i just want to make a quick updates. Firstly i want to show off my Bling Bling Hammer.

I think, before this goes to storage, i better contact my contractor to ask him get quote from the carpenter. I will share this story.. whatever the outcome.

It's very hard talking to Hub about not buying this pool at first place. Now it's even harder to ask him to let it go.

I also almost fell off my chair... That soo Awesome PINK! The first think you will hear often.. "This is absolutely Super CUTE!". Me likey~~....

Hi Mingzhung, For 6K hmmm..the cost of the new Pool Table. I will not buy. We did paid for a custom table top that cost us $280 the last time . For $280 just Custom Top comparing to $6K is such a big difference.. Maybe i get what you mean...arrange the carpenter to change the total outlook to fit our new house color scheme or Theme. Like the reality TV always show that they improve the old to look new.. this will sound like .... " PIMP MY POOL TABLE" Wonderful Idea!

The Pool Story My Hub fav toy. This is sitting in the living room and very often used other than our Xbox kinect. Also as part of the Dining Table when a need too , as my hub had customize a top for it. Today a quote came back to me if i planned to buy this stylo milo pool dining table . Price: $6950 But Jawdrop is priceless This is the part i have say, Sorry Hub..this your dream pool table goes to the 'Wants List ' ...Not the 'Need List'

wAHH sYIOK LAH ..3 years do reno again.! Got photos of before ? ..can share?

yes yes Shiqi, If you put the island Chimney , it be close to beam like mine..cos i see the island is just below the beam hor... So weird lah. So i see you have 2 cooking area. nice to have alternative. Just in cylinder Gas run out at island. Can carry the pot to the yard !

I am pretty excited on the two plans which you suggested. the next thing i do, with the power of goggled vested in me, I pronounce the ideal kitchen that relatively close to your idea, Picture 1 Imagine, I have yard hiding my Kitchen Window Picture 2 The Parallel Kitchen that if i plan to place cabinet both sides. It's really fun to see how my 2 kitchen can come develop many many styles of kitchen layout. Oh another thing whom I engage is a Interior Design Company but he say , he just be the Contractor to work with me on the house renovation. Interior Designer is some other guy in his office. He told me that he will give me some drawings once we discuss when we collect keys later next month. As for Herb Garden, It's kinda cool to grow the home grown cilli, pandan leaves & curry leaves. Use them alot! But i think i have these pots outside by the corridor. As the walkway corridor is super huge. Thanks Adidaem!

The layout that you share is very good. I like it. I will update this progress. I can't wait for my Keys now.Excited!

Hi Shiqi, Thank you for sharing me the wonderful pictures. Love love love the island layout of your house. Theres actually a beam just above the island same as my new house and the cove lighting that you place at the ceiling actually makes the whole ceiling beam story go away! Great Idea! This was the initial idea exactly what i have in mind to cook in the middle and feel like a chef on a cooking show. So not installing a chimney is actually a choice that you have made. ..i see...i see. Love love love also your super large Mirror!

Me speechless...... my heart almost stopped. My Xmas Present! Santa came early.. gave me a yard!! See I got a Yard!! I got a yard!! Soo nice of ya. Thank you Santa Adidaem. I love to visual the Hollywood vanity and this seems that my journey is getting so exciting. Breathe in..Breathe out.

Hi angelous666, You house is breathtaking. Love all the elements,wood for platform, island kitchen, awesome bathroom, also the hidden utility. lastly the greens to add the human touch. nice... Well done. I smile and go AAaaa Wowww....my Jaw cannot close already. Sometime drop to the floor every time a picture pop up . PS - My friend bought Bamboo Large stem at Tanjong Katong Complex Level 1 , there is a big flower decor shop sells all the artificial floral arrangement. Also if you want to get the 'Like Real Flowers'unique Flowers or something like that, I always splurge on the floral arrangement during festive period.Never go to else where every since. Go to IMM Level 1 for Steve Florist. or his another location, 298 Beach Road . The flowers are always 'talking' to me to take them home ..'Be warn.

Hi Piknik, I feel you. now come & play Xbox kinect Yogo with me. We meditate for good aura. Good things will come our way. We just have to be very careful in the choices and sometime no choice one, we got to make do lah because of our budget. Depending the lifespan and how koyak the item is used after like for 5-10-15 years. Daily electrical stuff will usually koyak 3years down the road. Kitchen - heavy cook 5-8years, light cooking longer life span. I see my aunty renovate her kitchen every 8 years . Now its like 3rd time leh. I see that she so happy like change kitchen design like change curtain like that. hahaha Your humour caption make me smile.

Awesome!! Media Room! I am a couch potato. I can really just lay on the comfy couch and snuggle in this aircon room to watch all my fav movies. This one excellent choice. Me Likey~~

Adidaem, The beam that making that is making me go crazy... i will do the yoga stance to absorb the bad aura and think of the beautiful things .. Thats coming my way.. Someday i belive as you say, it will go unnoticeable. Now the toilet part. Initially, i planned to just convert the other toilet to store. But, this morning, i start to relook at the plan and decide something else. The Left Masterbedroom is where i will be sleeping. I planned to combined the toilet, and make as one dry for vanity area no door so aircon can flow in and the other as toilet+rainshower with glassdoor entrance. I was thinking of a nicely holloywood vanity top .. You know with the bulbs all around it, but it better be adjustable funtions lighting ones, if not, my makeup will melt if i stayed too long in there. Can plan and plan but whatever outcome again need to wait HDB approval. Very sian .. Like only thing i can do now it just dream lah... I went to sneak peak your blog. Wow.. Iam so inlove with the brightness and sleek looking place you got there. I love EM but my hub not keen, we compromise, and i am happy with settled with this mini jumbo. your kitchen is so adorable!! Peak-a boo Glass. Intersting concept. Can see who is at the door. I also see that you placed your aircon near kitchen entrance.. But your kitchen is open concept...Hmmm I will read if you have write anything on that, i might want to understand... Due to me having 2 living room, The aircon installer is telling me to seal up all the rooms and kitchen for better and energy saving and install the higher BTU inverter. Ok talk later. I hoped it to your blog first.. Bye!
