Harlow ernie!! U toking abt the plant pot in the hallway in the pic taken by OJ? Hee, yup its a green plant (fengshui plant), potted in on the moving-in date by my MIL liao. Now it's sitting in the passageway still, cuz too heavy to move Will take mre pictures once I find the camera....sigh, thk its in 1 of the plastic bags at hme....u on lunch duty? Harlow Cantona, me nt sure too le.....in fact, oso not sure if it came like dat n we din find the crack at 1st check. There's a crack on the side of the marble table (that one oredi reported when we rcv the goods, still waiting for Evov to exchange the side-marble with us). I cant tell if its the marble inside crack or the protective layer cracked, cuz my table comes with a protective finishing (so when i put my hand on it, its not the cold-cold feel of raw marble one). Den I see liao, very heartpain, cuz if its protective layer crack, it will just peel off ugly-ly next time... sobs-sobs....

SO disappointing... Ar-bo can create some copies!

Well, not everything went right, I had a fall in front of my front door, minutes after moving in due to wet floor (guess who mopped the floor?)... den hor, the lights tripped 4 times after the move-in ceremony where we supposed to switch on ALL the lights in the hse. Will be getting my electrician to come back n check 1 by 1....its overloaded nw, but it never occured during renos as we didnt switch on ALL lights at 1 go.... Advice to all new home-owners, b4 handover, switch on ALL lights for 10 mins n check if anything trips...

Harlow ernie! Me attempting to move hse this Sunday, meet for lunch next week k?

Wah hope my glasshob dun spoil so fast la....not gonna stab it with a knife....dats like murdering the hob...

Harlow apple! Good morning! Just spoke to my contractor yest. He says dat tempered glass cannot be broken no matter how u hit it on the surface. But if u wan to break it oso can, just need to hit it on the corner n it will shatter completely. Apparently, that's how they dispose of tempered glass (big pieces). wat I meant abt the spray-painting was referring to the colored backsplash dat sme ppl haf in kitchen. Its actualli tempered glass but sprayed-paint with color 1st...

Harlow piggie, take ur time to choose the unit Im sure u will find 1 u like. Our estate is abt 3 bustops away frm JP, a few turns away, nt veli far frm JW bah...( at least not jurong extension). The common toilet u saw is all made up of cheapcheap accesories Very "pok" nw liao, $ all go to reno. Sink $90 frm hoekee, shelf oso frm hoekee. Sme forummers here haf beautiful toilets!! Mine is oni clean (if u dun look at the floor n fugly hdb pipes ) Homo tiles for bedrm n living/dining frm contractor bring us to balestier shop n buy. Its not the super-white one, abit offwhite. Pure-white one is another material (cant remember wat) but wld b super exp Just met up with curtain ppl lastnite in the hse with MIL, guess how much it came up to? A whopping 2.7K!!

Hi James, its tempered glass (mirror reflective below). Actually tempered glass is actually glass then spray paint color insde wan I think...so the center portions r black, den surroundings are mirror reflective, not steel. Thks!! Love my kitchen most nw

Thanku wtg!! Will post mre pics when the rest of the furniture moves into place Plus my bookshelf frm ikea coming on Sat!! !!

MBR toilet, box-up painted n lights up! Doors painted matt-white. BB-rm door frm the passageway. MBR room (pic taken frm insde) Scvs yard, bght a 2way tap frm dat SSC (before I flip face with them ) The water pipe hidden behind ugly fugly HDB water pipes. Makes its crossing to the kitchen via the overhead beam.

Mirror surface at borders. Some more pictures of the kitchen, lightings completed more or less. Got 2 lights frm the hood oso. Tube lightings are up below the lower cabinets. Seems to have a dark corner le....gonna check w contractor again tomrw. Upper cabinets oni have spotlights on 1 side, the other side is the dishrack, cant install lights. Gonna put a dishrack (standalone) in dat corner too. See the rails? Dats my rails for hanging knicks n knacks!! Veli happi with it. Another closer view. Pardon the photography, me no gd at taking pictures...dunno why the spotlight shine become 1 strip 1strip le... Picture taken frm scvs yard. My fridge moved into place! The floating lower cabinets Dishrack corner. Single rail frm songcho. Another rail (abt 1.7m) stretching frm my cooker hob to the switches. Wantd to get a shorter one but I cldnt bear to break the fluid flow of the steel backing. The sealy bed moved into place!! The base is not sarong color, hehee Dats an old bedsheet to cover up dust. Move closer n u will see a wooden ledge. Its actually 2 ledge bght frm ikea n got my contractor to fix up. Guess what it's oso for? To cover up the ugly big big aircon trunking at the bottom.

Harlow piggie, JW-WIS still alota flats for selection, actualli the 5rm mre "hot" than the EA. when my hubby went to hdb to take queue no, the auntie at the counter shake her head n tell him 5rm he got no hope cuz we were quite far behind....so we decided to take EA lor. Px-wise actually JW flats 5rm n ea not much difference. My hubby Brownmse works in Tuas (in fact, dat boi can take bus to work outside the Macdonald)... I did hear frens say JW air no gd, veli industrial. But i like the cocoa smell in the air, u got smell it? hehee Its oso got sme aeroplanes flying around, so u get dat aeroplane sound. But den again, Im nt gonna be hme during daytime....night-time think not so much bah.... I intend to ask BrownMse to drive me to JP le, hehehe Our area ia abt 3 bus-stops frm JP, ok lah, quite convenienet, walkable but wld prolly take u 15-20mins if u got short legs like me.... Some updates when I visited the hse justnw, surprise surprise! My contractors stayed there the whole day with his blangah n fixed up the knicks n knacks!! Managed to get my common toilet mirror n glass-shelf up. Now it looks mre complete! Tap still nt up though, waiting for plumber tomrw.
