  1. or shoes.. haha.. confirm la.. jelebu road no bbq pit lei.. haha..
  2. seems that quite a number of forummers in banking hanging around hor.. i only got time at night to read and reply the selected threads lei.. i like corgy (is that how u spell) so cute, leg so short and must left right left right very fast.. everytime i see one, i just feel like laughing.. its a make-me-happy dog!! but hubby oso dun allow dog, say a lot of work.. i used to have a husky, big dogs is really a lot of work, small dogs ok wat!! somemore can keep my son company.. he only child very bored..
  3. yr hubby earn a lot lor.. wat does he do, just curious!!
  4. Anyone done that? My hubby says cannot. ID says can if screw is less than 5cm in length. So is it can or cannot. If can, any constraints? Pls advise asap as carpenters coming over tomorrow and I was thinking of mounting Ikea's Stolmen show rack in my store so I can get them to do it! Tks..
  5. Headboard 90% done. Left the bottom 2 pieces pending due to the electrical wiring or something. I'm not really a fan of brown but it turns out to be ok. Guess I'll let Vincent live another day. Haha~ Told him I'll kill him if its not nice (coz I really don't like brown alot but he says it will be very nice). My messy kitchen area due to all my appliances that has been delivered. Asked Vincent if its safe since he has quite a number of workers having the key to the padlock of my unit (basically the company just do many locks and can be open with one key that they duplicate many many). He guarantees its safe and I hope so lor. Will get heart attack if my fridge, washer, dryer, plasma tv, lcd tv, air con or sanitary is missing. Fridge still in box. Can't wait to open it this Saturday. Actually a bit worry in the sense, everytime they deliver something I cannot check if its working immediately lor. Like I haven't test my hood, oven, hood etc, what if its spoilt and they don't allow me to change coz its like after 7 days or what like handphones can do one-for-one exchange within the first 7 says if faulty. Teka hob finally fitted in. We chose the cheaper one with the stainless steel border to match the fridge, oven, sink and roller shutter. Good la, at least can save some moeny and looks nice. There's a gap all around though. Very minimal but still can see lor. Must ask Vincent if want to silicon it. The Teka oven is also fitted. The stainless steel finishing is really so much more compatible with the rest of my fixtures than the Rinnai one. There's also a gap between the oven and the bottom drawer, don't know if its for ventilation. Must ask Vincent about it. Was admiring all the DIY stuffs at Mist t-blog. How I wish I got such talent for it. Maybe get a sewing machine next year when I'm more free after finishing my part time course.
  6. gosh, all the things u did yrself and haul back really nice lor.. Somemore u are working still can find time to do all of it.. Yr balcony looks very big!! where is yr place at?? can i oso ask, i see yr store seems like the bomb shelter.. can drill holes for screws anot?? coz i wan to mount things in the storeroom but my hubby say cannot..
  7. i hope to get mine on 3 jul as pre-arranged.. cant wait.. wat colour is yrs?? i took mine is cream-almost-white fabric.. my mbr one is pvc, i hope wun grow moulds.. but my parents place used to be leather, no moulds lei.. i nv ask abt the warranty lei, wat does it cover?? out of shape cover?? e mirage coffee table is nice.. almost like my om uno, just that my om got the floral print at the corners and not as reflective as mirage.. i oso worry my coffee table take up too much space.. coz my living very small.. i nv ask how much le.. i nv try oso.. dun noe really can sit on it not.. hehe.. coz its looks very cushy..
  8. my rough cost for my place (all new): toilet and kitchen sinks, taps $2000 kitchen hob, hood, oven, heater $2000 lights (hanging and plcs/halogen etc) $1200 electrical works $2000 can reuse if its in good condition and ask yr id design around it if its to be a centre piece.. for my case, we only reusing the toilet hamburger lights (simple), so the electrician clean clean for us and fixed back.. i already exceed my renovation budget by triple the amount.. whats new.. i think almost every other person also exceeded theirs.. hehe.. do try lightcraft for nice hanging lights that i find price quite competitive and more variety.. another shop i think a lot of forummers go is light arcade.. om feel of dining table i got no idea lei.. but u can go evov living take a look.. i dun tink its very much cheaper.. otherwise, go to sungei kadut this type of furniture area and source.. u shld be able to fnd nice stuffs too..

  14. u can consider doing the decals for yr place.. got lots of designs to choose from.. really lor.. i think u abit confuse abt recess area coz i think newer (around 5 yrs or less) flats recess area has nothing to do with windows.. it will appear on any wall in the flat one.. its due to the structural beams.. just like humans sick le must see doctor, vegetables got worms must use insecticide or ikea wood furniture starts creaking must use allen key tighten.. i think too late i'm mumbling liao lar.. going to le..
  15. haha.. actually i just pretend i sms or what lor.. the sales staff will always stare at me and suspecting but won't dare to walk over to check la.. but i just thick skin heck care!! or my hubby will ask questions to distract them sometimes.. ya lor, their stainless steel one nice but so much more expensive hor.. other brands if take stainless steel, usually cost $100 only le.. if yr design can fit in white one, its ok la.. yup, its from goodrich.. still have not receive the bill for wallpapers yet lor.. worrying its gonna cost a bomb.. yr decals look super nice lor!! i was admiring them last night.. how much u do har?? u buy from the company direct thru website or thru the far east shop?? my colleague thinking of doing it, i tell her its a much better chioce than wallpaper lor.. i really got wallpaper nightmare.. yessie, its a box-up wall.. i hate recess walls lei.. i box-up the another useless recess wall in my mbr oso.. but there are still others i did not due to cost.. and in the long run, box-up walls are not good as i heard due to the weather (contract and expand), will cause hairline cracks along those joint areas.. walk to bridge then see how.. why are hdb architects and designers so @#$%^&, do flats without recess la, what do you think they want us to do with it for?? lifestyle: at least those under windows type like yrs can do cupboards.. those big walls like mine really nothing much to do with it lor.. yup, that's the one.. ya, the website one looks boring.. i think if i saw only the sample small piece fabric, i did not think its nice le, looks like a sack at first to me.. but when i saw the whole sofa in that fabric, its absolutely ! go take a look at celini at furniture mall (beach rd).. its tucked in a corner now though, the first time i was there, it was placed at the centre of the showroom.. i'm still over the decals.. they did the visualisation foc?? or within the whole package?? must buy le then they do the visualisation for u??
  16. Was up at my place earlier to drop off the stuffs I bought from Ikea today as the carpenters are coming down on Thursday to finish up what they need to do so got to get whatever that needs to be mounted and ask them to mount for me. Antonius system for my laundry area. Went to Ikea Tampines in the afternoon to buy but brought some items back to Ikea Alexandra at night to change as did not measure the area properly so overshot the length. Wanted to have 2 sets of racks but not enough space. A bit sad, one set don't look nice like a bit cheapskate coz not enough money to buy more pattern lor. But I need to have a clothes rail to air my suits and hanging rack for my towels we using (don't intend to hang in toilet). I realise something about Ikea, though Ikea Tampines is so much bigger (was so impressed by the towering goods at the check-out area) but they are out of stock for quite a number of items whereas Ikea Alexandra have the stock. Proves that really, nowadays, noone goes to Ikea Alexandra. Must be people cheapskate (like me) aiming for the free parking at Ikea Tampines la! The mirror for the common toilet. Under instructions from Vincent to buy this. But I dont know if its too big coz the dimensions he gave was a bit smaller. When I called him, I think he did not take note of the exact size when he saw it. But I tell him buy first lor, if too big and not nice then bring back for refund. I love Ikea's 30 day refund policy!! Hubby was holding the picture saying its so heavy and complain I still want to take picture. Haha.. Was looking at this chair for the study. Very comfy. Don't know buy anot coz its almost $300 for one and we need three. Originally, I looking at those chairs in hotel rooms type (wrapped in fabric one, Lush had them and was clearing stock so quite affordable) but hubby want height adjustable one coz he too tall so if fixed height, he got to bend abit at the study table. Maybe this weekend go Lush to take a look again. Wanted to buy Stolmen as my shoe rack for the store/hs but hubby refuse to let me screw anything into the wall/ceiling in the hs. He says its against HDB policy. But Vincent says as long as the screw is not more than 5cm its fine. Is it true? Can anyone tell me? Did anyone drill/screw anything in their hs? Was over Ikea's kitchen accessories, utensils and some racks/shelves but got to wait till I move in then buy coz now staying at parent's place no space to put. Plus got to budget abit and reassess my financials after we pay for everything first. Now abit messy coz have not receive the variation order from Vincent and electrician. Abit worried. Scare I heart attack when I see it. Agreed with hubby not to buy any accessories first till we move in. Went to next door Courts after Ikea Tampines to see their home threatre system. Hubby's old one has been in use for the last 10 yrs and I complain it really looks orbit lor - gold colour lei! I say buy a $500 very nice liao but he finds quality not good. Told him to try to source for one less than $1000. Anything above is budget killing. The other day he bought the Jamo system, I thought he got the whole system, end up he only buy the speakers - $600 lei! And only speakers!

  19. new job = learn new things = very busy = go back late = very tired, so no time to meet friends one!! i work at orchard, not good la.. spend a lot of money on shopping le.. i rather work west area near my home lor, reduce travelling time.. i'm late every morning lor.. i think my boss want to sack me liao.. used to be based at bukt timah plaza, 15 mins bus ride, can sleep later in the morning, so good.. now got to crawl up at least 45 mins earlier.. morning sleep is so impt lor.. haha, same industry.. u wan to change job not?? my place hiring.. its so hard to find good staff nowadays..

  23. if u engage nippon people to paint, their supreme package (the other is classic at $1300) for 5 rooms is only $1400 as a comparision. plus, they will do those computer colour stimulation i think. was at ikea alexandra just now and standing outside home fix where they have a banner on this promotion. agree with bear & style, need to know if this is more on contractor or designer..
  24. haha, black make the ceiling feel much higher for one.. i oso change my del to a 3 seater and chose a foam 2 instead (original is foam 1).. but i a bit worry that it will cause the sofa to be out of shape lei.. u noe our sofa is sqaure sqaure then nice one ma.. i like demi and mission legs.. really nice.. maggie says box very comfy though very low.. display piece coming in on thursday.. i cant wait if not in the photo box oso look very nice.. how much u buy demi 3 seater and ottoman each?? i love underground parking lor.. very condo.. hehe.. anyways, yr estate from outside oso super look like condo.. i really like it (not to mention the windows again) so much but too bad cant get a unit.. i saw cube shape stools/cushion at evov, did u try those?? too soft??
