Item (3) Our TV Console--Mirage series frm Evovliving as well 2m long, black-color mirrors to match my black color coffee table Comes with 2 deep drawers on the sides, and a flap dwn on the top.... Wantd to buy the bronze mirror version but it din really match my grey sofa n coffee table

Haha....so the WIW is for Mrs Hikoki.... My advice : better do ur WIW big enuff...ar-bo ur clothes get banishd to storerm....heehee

Robbery in our area nw?!....wah serious ah? As in downstrs void deck?..... My neighbor told me last time the whole block oni got 1-2 units, got burglary wan...nw at least they haf upgraded our corridor lights to "brighter lights" liao...

Hihi Hikoki, Just wanna say hi too....Im oso neighbor at e blk at carpark entrance Did u jus take up e flat during e recent WIS? I saw those nearer to Kou-Fu being released for WIS recently... so u must b nearer to Giants.... (buy grocery no need to slog so far.... ) me doing hdb rectifications nw....good luck to ur reno too!

Btw, quick update on work done...... We're in midst of HDB rectifications.....it's a painfully looong process.... 1) The kitchen tiles hacked and relayed with white tiles (or so Brownmse claims). Greycat here thks its grey tiles. In fact, after site-visit by Greycat, I confirm its not white tiles, canot understand why Brownmse is color-blind ....but anyways, here r the pics: White/Grey tiles re-layed on in kitchen after the old tiles were hacked off: Discovered a prob when we thot the job's done....the edge of the tiles at the entrance was jutting out & no protector edge was layed on it ..... Lucky we went bac to check n argue w HDB contractor..they even broke off my doorkeys! si-bei boil man... Here's the pic to prove it.... Picture (1): top n eight edge was "plastered" but it's actuali uneven. Left egde has a smooth protector edge Pictuee (2): right edge is out by 0.5cm? HDB contractor tried to use plaster to cover up error. I ar-boil n tell him to saw, hack, re-lay n plaster flush 1 mre time......He better do his job, ar-bo Im gonna complain!! Also bought 2 items over wkend during Cellini sale The dining table is the longer version at 1.7m (can squeeze 3 pax on length), was thkg of buyg the shorter version (1.4m) for studyrm, den when alota guests come, can combine 2 tables together....unfortunately, it was a tad too heavy 4 moving ard le, so we oni bght 1. 1) Manhattan Dining Table (black tempered glass) at $704 nett 2) Manhattan Coffee Table at $352 nett

Harlo storeberry, we got the cube-cube mre than 6mths ago at abt $99...thk its still available at barang-barang

I salute u....! Remind me of 1 proverb....sparrow small small but got many organ.....hehehee

Wah piang eh! Very spacious house it seems, u sure it is 3rm? The lighting n the wall is very chio , esp the part where top n bottom got hidden lights....was it designed by ur ID?

Wow, ur toilet tiles r very unique... ru they exp? n ur kitchen tiling looks great too..

U got a FSM to choose the move-in date for u? wah....oni abt 3mre weeks to ur move-in.... muz b veli excited siah Yup, HDB startg to hack my kitchen wall tiles nw.... Just realised dat I forgot to do the "dong-tu" ceremony....donno if hdb rectificatns is part of "dong-tu" or nt Im glad I came to renotalk n saw so many of u who buggd HDB, otherwise I wldnt even noe I can complain to e gahmen to chg my tiles, hehehe

Wah....must have felt very shiok to finish the painting! Cant wait to see ur completed reno! Jia you!~ !!

Hihi, Just a quick update.....we've managed to get H*B to change our ugly tiles!! (for the kitchen wall tiles for now).....so happi!! A pat on the head for BrownMse who took time frm work to meet the H*B contractor.....hee The stopwatch stops counting now....wonder how long it will take for them to redo my kitchen tiles.... Oh yah, visited the barang barang midnite sales recently (at Paya Lebar there)....and bought 2 items.... 1) the milano daybed / lounge chair 2) an acrylic wine rack In fact, all items bght for our new hse is all frm barang barang for the moment, includes a cube stool bought earlier frm harborfrnt closing sales.... Milano Lounge chair Got this in dark brown color...we named it "cube-cube" affectionately as it's our 1st piece of furniture...

Hihi... Yup planng to re-do the toilet... If hacking n relaying new tiles, all-in-all costs abt 2-3K I thk.... but reali cant stand the MBR toilet in pink! Hee....becuz I wantd eberything in the quote lor...... As it was our 1st time meeting the contractor, kiasu me decidd to get the uncle to quote everyting.... (as in all types of scenarios).... So extra things such as curved wooden laminate platform n hack n redo whole toilet also throw in liao... but 30K is actuali the high figure bah....if take out the "extra things" and throw in discount (which he said definitely got lah)...den shd b 20K+ bah.... My quote includes hacking of wall to do WIW, n do a 13-14feet full-ht WIW n kitchen cabinet, window + grill for necessary area etc... We r still meeting another 2 mre contractors to get the feel even though contractor no 1 here (let's call him Lao-Fu-Zi cuz he does look like one) is pretty reasonable. Most imptly, we felt he's quite honest n in fact told us, we cld save on sme areas by nt doing unnecessary stuff....

I cldnt find defects.....tried as I might, I can oni say at most dat my tiles nt very aligned..... so wishd at hdb can chg my tiles man cuz all I wantd is white color tiles.... Gog dwn to meet contractor dis weekend at his shop to get his detailed quote.... Met him at new hse last weekend n was in a rush so I askd him to add in alota thgs (such as curved laminate platform, hack n redo whole toilet etc)....in the end, he told me final quote was abt 30K ! So gog dwn to see wer's the bulk of it hee... prolly nt....no point gog dwn to empty flat hehehe....prolly gog to meet contractor...

I thot HDB contractor shd hack n then lay new tiles?....dun worli....if no hollow tile, shd be fine too

Yah, heard of sme horror stories....we were thkg of either hacking n relay (which is exp n contractor oso say no need) or spray-painting by David (which most old-time contractors dun like cuz no gaurantee).... But since can avoid hacking, thk I will go for spraying bah...not gonna stay there life-time oso, hee.... So excited for ur reno! Hope to see ur hse fully reno sn! Mine still long-way....

Thanks ya!! Guess I gotta catch David n ask him properly...saw my fren's toilet sprayed results, looks gd n so far, no problems! Tempted to do it even though they say there's no gaurantee....but then, what the heck! ehehehehe

Hihi Air, Thanks v much for ur explanation! I guess my contractor meant "buy" the tiles frm HDB then, hehee....was in a rush to ask him properly...*hopes of brand new toilet frm HDB dashed* Btw, I just dropped a note in ur blog askg abt ur spray-paint frm David, hehehe....at the same time u replied me here, hee. Thanks ya!!

Hi Air, Nice combi of colors you have there! n love ur fashion walkway,hehe! Btw, dun mind me asking abt the spray-painting thgy? My contractor sd can oni spray after the kitchen cabinets r installed cuz cabinets will use thinner...isit any true? Can ask u which part of ur reno process does the spray-thgy comes in? Thkg of gettg David to do our kitchen n toilets too... must b b4 carpentry? Thanks thanks!!
