Maybe Courts do not have existing stock in their warehouse, so they call the various agents to deliver the items individually. TV can be from one agent, sofa one agent, etc etc

I thought you are going for black and white theme. How come you choose purple color for your wall?

First time I see using different color from originally chosen one as base coat. I thought first coat is the original color that we chose. Maybe they can't mix the color you want, so apply red first, then a lighter purple to achieve the color. But the next question is, why they don't mix the red paint with purple to achieve the color you want then apply first coat? Could be contractor made a mistake so want to cover for himself.

I am looking forward to your updates.

I think when pasting the wallpapers, need to be fast and quick, so air cannot go into the gaps and cause bubbles. Try not to let the bubbles settle down as they might cause "wrinkles" to the wallpapers or pop up in future. Just like handphone protector screen. Needs to be fast and swift when stick the sceeen protector to prevent bubbles. If there is a bubble, yes can push away or let it settle down, but the screen protector won't last long. Do take note of that, I think it is the same concept

Hey Valerie. I will support yours. Waiting for you to update.

I like the way you do your skirting. Very unique

Kudos! The process can be tiring, but the end result is a reward

How will your ID or yourself know which is the beam and pillar? What if something goes wrong, HDB point fingers at you or your ID say give wrong information, then what do you intend to do? I thought this type of thing better don't commit ownself, if really something goes wrong, HDB put all the blames to homeowners, then will be in trouble. HDB should come down and verify which is the beam or pillar or update their floor plans.

Wah.. you used so many bottles of thinners to clean the house? The stain must be very bad. I thought there is a last round of chemical wash + cleaning. Luckily my hubby and I don't need to go through that process, or else I will write long "essay" commenting about our contractor + cleaning process in our blog.

There is at least 600mm and a little more walking space between console and sofa. Luckily I asked carpenter to reduce the console depth by 50mm. Can consider bigger tv next time Then move the current tv to MBR.

Indeed the sofa is quite near the TV. No choice, can't shift the sofa anymore, if not the main door is going to hit the sofa.

Hi there. because our wall is newly plastered, don't want to spoil the smooth surface for now. Plus if next time we want to change the TV position, we don't have to worry the ugly hole on the wall.

Good morning all! Today is the day we are moving in. We woke up early today to do the praying ceremony, which is now. We can only enter into the house at 11am. 不知不觉 (subconsciously) it has been almost 2 months. Thank you all for your wishes. Thank you for following us throughout our renovation process. With you guys, we are never lonely to walk through this process ourselves. Thank you for your support.

Hi there. Thank you for visiting our blog. I have pm-ed you. Cheers!

That's good! Can stack coupons to get further discounts.

Hi toonie. Thank you for visiting our blog. Remember to grab some coupons from Gmarket so you can enjoy more discounts.

My mum's friend helps us. If you want to 意思意思拜拜, you can always go to the shop that sells joss papers. You tell them you are moving in, then want to pray. The auntie/uncle will pick the items for you. They know what to do. Additionally, you buy oranges, huat kueh, and pineapple, pray downstairs or outside your house.

In the morning pray first. 11AM then can step into the house, until 3PM has to stop bringing things from parents' house or doing any DIY work. After that, 2 weeks cannot shift and move things. End of the month can do anything we like already

Old houses tend to have a lot of problems, but no choice, location is still better than new bto flats. Hopefully you need not spend too much money to fix that wood. Surely Donny has his ways to fix it

Yes dotty. From "sweden". Haha..

You should also get extended warranty for the fridge. Fridge is always the first to break down due to 24/7 operating. Then next is washer. We got the extended warranty for the two big items.

Yes yes. Lesson one learnt: Ask for big big laminate to see the effect. A4 size laminate is not big enough to see the effect. Tomorrow need to be in the house before 3PM. By the time settle down, can watch the repeat telecast of 红星大奖 at 4PM which we missed last weekend.

The chairs with arm rest is selling in Gmarket at $99, except the leggings are in wood, not metal. I bet you bought at 2x the price in that showroom. Is it lush lush?

Good morning. Thank you all for your wishes. Finally sweet home sweet, home sweet home. We are packing and prepare to move on the auspicious date (tomorrow) and time. May: I think I know why the TV image looks big. The border of Sony TV is thinner, just like the latest Samsung model with silver or glass trimming. This makes the image wider than other normal TV with thick trimming. Ong Lai: Remember to post some photos when you buy the chairs. Valerie: We got the bigger piece of laminate for sample. The sample piece is as big as an A4 size paper, but we didn't consider the layout and we just go ahead with it. Ya, if by the time we have more budget, may decide to have system wardrobe to extend as L-shape so we can put more clothes. Current wardrobe size is too small. The console length is already very long, 2.2mtr. Anything longer will make the living room looks weird. And also, the tv console has two different laminate colors, therefore what we see is brazilian laminate more obvious than white, so the tv console "looks" shorter. I think even if we want longer console also cannot. Any longer console cannot fit into the lift. Muska: Yes, our house floor level has only 2 family - me and my neighbour only. Every floor has a lift. Except some neighbours staying on 5, 9, 12, those houses are corridor units, but still two different family shares 1 lift, so corridor units have more privacy too. Our unit has privacy in the sense that the upstairs or downstairs neighbours will not come to our floor level to take lift, so it is more quiet.
