How can cactus die!? I like to have cactus at home too, but my cactus very strong. I never water it, it shrinks like a balloon without air. And I thought it's dead, then I water it, the next day, the cactus bloats up again. Hahahaha... Air pump into the balloon

Finally you are back in action. 1 week+ to your renovation.

Ahhhh... We didn't do veneer doors, was quoted quite expensive for veneer doors. So we opt for classic doors. Still very nice looking lah. You can buy the tile inspection tool from hardware shop (五金店). If I'm not wrong, we left the kitchen floor tiles to check. Let me check with Hubby first, if he can finish checking the tiles before weekend, we can lend to you.

Ahhhh... that's cheap. From what I know, the orchid itself is not expensive, but the packaging makes it very expensive. Previously the florist that I ordered from ask me if I can accept orchid flowers with wrappers since I need to order urgently, I see the pictures online, I immediately reject. Though they are using those bouquet flowers wrappers, but to use that to wrap orchid is very ugly. Looks like pluck from roadside and wrap around with plastic wrappers. I prefer orchid in a pot. We negotiated to deliver the following day, to give them one day to rush the pot of orchid for me. Luckily the batch of orchids arrive in the shop, just that they need time to package the orchid for sale.

Hi yeese, I saw your post on the veneer doors. Too late, by the time I saw this, I have already committed to let my contractor do the doors, so don't want to cancel. We will check out Yontat for our next new house renovation.

I forgot which florist/website that I helped my boss to order orchid pot for his wife. This is where I just googled for you: http://flowersflowers.com.sg/index.php/products?page=shop.browse&category_id=27

I don't know too. Maybe they buy mattress or bed, then can easily hit $1.5k purchase to redeem the dyson fan.

The orchid plant really looks very pretty. I like orchid too. It takes at least 3 days to 1 week advance booking if order online florist website.

Yes, Raffles City branch is smaller than the other branches, don't have much variety. I didn't take notice of the brochure, the Dyson fan was redeemed before lunch time; Minimum spend $1500, get free dyson fan.

Sounds like a good buy. I don't like wood chopping boards, often will stain food particles on the board. Normally I use the white plastic chopping board. The one that I bought, is not plastic? Which Robinsons branch you went? I was at Raffles City, the bins were located near the stainless steel knives section. So lucky got the colored boards. I wanted to get the green boards, but sold out when I returned to Robinsons after work.

Makes me drool sometimes when neighbour fries chix wings, luncheon meat, fish, etc.

I suggest you put your dining table near the balcony, then you place your TV console against the wall of the bomb shelter, your sofa at the other side of the wall, but people may see you sitting at sofa from main door. Alternatively, place your sofa against the bomb shelter wall, and TV on the other side of the wall. This will allows you to fully utilise the living room space.

Our loots from Robinsons sales today: Brabantia pedal bin 12L c/w FOC Brabantia wine opener Surprisingly this brand comes with 10 years warranty. It is made of stainless steel. We forgot to buy the bin liner. Hopefully can buy from online at cheaper price. WMF pots and pan We didn't get the wmf flatware set. No discount was given because it was already in discounted price which we felt the wmf flatware set was still very expensive. We ended up buying Robinsons' flatware, which was much cheaper. A bundle of 6 costs only $10, plus it's stainless steel 18/10. One wmf flatware set we can buy many Robinsons' flatware. Chopping board and knives. During lunch time, there were many different colors of chopping boards, but when we went there in the evening, only left grey and black chopping boards. So many people bought this chopping board, don't know why too. I bought it because I'm curious. And there are other things we bought today: - Corelle dinnerware - Lock & lock (with 50% discount) Lastly, cashier auntie gave us 4 x $30 Robinsons vouchers to deduct the total payment. She said she don't normally gives so many vouchers to other customers. One purchase only redeem 1 $30 voucher. So nice of her, we saved $120 for our total purchase.

Arcylic silicon looks like this (look at the basin silicon): Arcylic silicon is very ugly. All the water, dirt, and other particles if stuck on the transparent silicon, you can see very clearly. I would rather use white silicon.

It's a forum for dog owners, but don't get too involved with the people inside that forum. No offends, but if discuss anything about dogs, they can come and pawn you alive. Just go to their garage sales, and ignore the rest of the pages.

Or doggiesite.com.sg? They always have these group buy thingy.

YES! The crowd is crazy. I queue for one hour to make my payment during lunch time. I don't understand why some customers can stay at the counter for 15mins and jam the que. Worst still, they buy a bag of things only. Can't they pay and just leave, rather than ask so many questions and delay the rest. I end up having two hours' lunch (and didn't have my lunch). Later after work, Hubby is coming to fetch me, then we will go and grab some dinnerwares and flatwares.

Maybe check out Pet Lovers, they may sell automated feeder?

Food for thoughts Revealing our MBR room color. I copied the ideal design on the right. Wanted to match the wall color as close as possible, but I think the paler wall color if opt for green apple, maybe can achieve the same color as the ideal design? Maybe I'm color blind, it could be the same color. Need warm light to achieve the look.

Ya loh. I never hear people rotate the wc before. Not practical too. I thought wc cannot face towards the door? Fengshui? Too bad, a lot of BTO flats wc all facing the toilet doors.

Don't do cement floor lah, very difficult to maintain. I have seen a Singapore HDB home somewhere in the internet, initially I thought they do cement floor, but actually that is black & grey marble/granite floor. Totally look like cement floor, but it will cost a lot of money too. Save more, do a better flooring.

POOR LIZARD! How you know it's a male lizard? Maybe too hungry, eat sealant, and died.

Your wife was right. Should not removed the skirting provided by HDB. In first place, your ID should not charge you for skirting too. It should come in a package, when you are doing laminates for floor or tiles for floor, skirting should be done together. I don't know why he does that, maybe can earn extra money from you. If you say he is charging additional cost for removing skirting, then yes, I agree that is a mandatory cost to be incurred.

The house looks well-maintained. I like marble floor. My next house, I want to find a place with marble floors, so I don't need waste money to hack and re-lay tiles.
