haha.. we are more anxious i guess.. excited mar.. but my reno is going to hit 10 weeks mark.. yrs how many weeks le??

made in japan.. got made in china one?? the catalogue he gives us also says this model made in japan one lei..

popping by!! i was looking at yr chair and thinking it looks abit like kidneys.. hee.. very unique lor.. i mean its a talking point when friends come by.. i'm searching for something more simple like those hotel room fabric chair for study chairs.. how much is yr curtains cost?? u say its in yr signature previously but i think u edited yr signature liao le.. and how much is yr carpet?? i like it!! very daring and bold.. but after u put carpet, yr black stripe on the floor hardly visible lei.. girl, u can consider going lush to see their carpets also.. they having a sale on it now.. a lot of shaggy ones to choose from.. promotion price of $199.50 nia!!

hihi.. tks!! u mean my living feature wall?? its full vincent's credit.. he came up with this wall-to-floor-to-wall carpeted cocoon effect platform.. this is one of the main reason why i signed with him as i feel he has the good visions.. i was only planning for a normal usual living but platform mbr living instead.. he changed my concept, for the better la.. hee.. nope, its still wip.. pending the black glass framing the central area.. should be completed tmr hopefully.. if things go as planned, will take and post by weekend..

i forget to tell u don't buy sofa first till u confirm yr living design and colours.. better than u buy sofa le, have to design yr living around it.. hehe.. i'm oso gullible one la.. my hubby oso less 'soft ear'.. e furniture mall i'm talking abt is e one at beach road, which one u referring to between imm and jurong?? haha, i've no idea silentnight is from where.. local?? i only know its the same factory as king koil.. my shortlisted brands were the triple S - serta, sealy or simmons but hubby really can't find a comfortable one among the three.. i say he got CHEAP BONES.. hahaha..

hee.. its office use carpet so very durable as in the strands wun be easily flatten if put something heavy on top of it.. i was lying on it last night but a bit squirmish coz i'm sure its super dirty.. haha.. the workers stepping all over it when doing the 'pasting'.. i'm abit paranoid though, worry i vacuum then the vacuum suck a hole out how!! yup, bought it 2 weeks ago at mega discount store (katong) and delivering tmr!! i got it for $2130 nett but without any free gift.. i rather have more discounts.. hee.. go look for arthur at the shop, he very nice, friendly, helpful and willing to give discount..

i hate soccer.. just passing thru!! no pics of yr sanitary lei.. wanted to see yr rain shower set.. hee..

actually i oso don't know how to check my grouting lor.. what do u mean its uneven?? my walls are uneven.. i'll strangle vincent if he wants to handover on saturday with it like that.. anyone knows, is u handover than do defects or do defects than handover??

why yr dad says don't hack lei?? coz even if u hack u still got 3 bedrooms lei, not like me, i hack liao left only my mbr and other bedroom.. if my parents or siblings wan to stay over also no space.. hee.. i got the hitachi 42" plasma!! don't know if you are thinking of the same model as mine.. i bought mine 2 weeks back for $2130 at mega discount store (katong).. delivering tmr!! haha, i was so so so tempted to buy simmons oso.. nearly bought it at ackerman, a plushtop one for $2200 with 2 free mattress protectors.. u can consider going ackerman at toa payoh, i feel that they have a better deal for simmons mattresses.. than the simmons boutique at imm.. end up i bought silentnight instead, more affordable and hubby feel its softer than the simmons one.. guess simmons spring is barrel shape so its firmer.. imm was also like my second home.. was there every weekend to see the sanitary, furniture etc.. i think u shld go furniture mall to see more before u buy the sofa at red apple.. i find it a bit expensive for a red apple sofa.. saw real nice sofas at furniture mall the other time..

My kitchen sink, sink mixer and Franke soap dispenser! Coz I got only have a single bowl and don't have overhang dish rack, was having a headache thinking of where to put my utensils I frequently use like my cups and regan's milk bottle. Grab this adjustable dish rack from Lookz when I was there to arrange for the oven exchange so problem solved. Kinda costly though. My Teka hood. I find that my steel backing is kinda too short (there's abit of wall on the right below the beam that is not covered). Vincent says it looks ok, I hope so and he is not humouring me so that he don't have to box up to match the left side or save some steel. Though when I asked him, he says, its not the cost he is concern but coz his stainless steel backing comes in sheets of fixed size, so if he is to join 2 pieces together to get the size for my wall, then the line that they joint at will be very obvious and ugly. My still packed Teka hob and the hole to put it in. Teka oven delivering tomorrow! !!

hee hee.. my pics all also use hp take one lei.. now yr wardrobe and study room very neat le!! i remember that day it was on the floor rite?? ikea got sell the stainless steel bin?? how much?? i nearly wanted to buy one from lookz or ssc but quite expensive - $30+..

3 way one look like how?? got pic?? !!

Just came back from the new place. Wanted to go Ikea but kinda lazy coz raining and such weather makes me sluggish. Hubby spent a couple of hours trying to smoothen (using sandpaper) the walls edges near to the timber skirtings in our MBR coz after the ceramic skirtings was hacked, they did not make good properly. But progress was so slow that he gave up. Must ask Vincent to check them and do something about it. Hopefully he will. !! Took some pics of the carpeted living platform.

that would be my worst case solution lor.. coz i can't afford to buy another sofa with the current one still on hand.. going new place too and ikea after that..

It's the second time someone has burst my water pipe in my mbr toilet. The first was the aircon people when they were doing the trunking 5 Fridays ago. Then last Friday, the plumbers also did it. They were trying to mount my rainshower when it happened. The culprit. My hubby (1.9m) can't use the rainshower coz its too low for him (will hit the head). Oops! So only I can enjoy. Haha~ But we didn't expect it la. Coz at the showroom display, they did it quite high and we did not anticipate this problem. So to everybody whom is tall, please take note! Unles you want to move your tap higher. For mine, as its concealed water pipe so it's fixed and its too late to relocate (tiles are up) plus all the hassle + cost involved. My concealed water storage heater. Vincent managed to hide it in my MBR vanity cabinet. But he miscalculaed the knob and he did the cabinets till very fitting so most probably we have to take out the knob in order to close the door properly. He's still trying to think if there's anything he can do with the doors. Only 15L water stored so forsee might have to wait awhile between each other baths lor. Ma fan but bo bian coz though the 30L is only $20 or so more expensive but due to the size. I hate the ugliness! My carpet was done yesterday. WIP when hubby took this photo!! I was lying on the carpet yesterday night looking out of my full length living windows, so comfy. Can't wait to move in. !! Sighs, this is my disappointing OM Andrew sofa still in the box. Still don't know what to do about it. I'm serious, anyone willing to buy? I can sell at a discount.

of course la, between friends and colleagues this type of thing where got reveal one.. in our letter of appointment also got the clause 'do not reveal or discuss' lei.. !!

i got pt maid but she a lot to do already with all my moping, washing etc so don't do too much ironing.. plus coz my place not very dirty (we go out whole day only come back late at night and weekends) so she comes only twice a month.. i also very lousy at ironing.. always get iron marks on my skirts and dresses.. going to get the novita steamer soon.. but also need a traditional one for pleats.. again i want to say, can someone invent the A-Z LAUNDRY ROBOT or MACHINE?? i sure get one.. willing to pay lor..

wa lau ey, i envy lor.. do u tink u can ask yr hubby to contact a class for our hubbies on 'how to be the perfect husband?'.. but scarely the class turns out to be 'how to secret eat but not let your wife find out and think you are the best!' class.. JUST JOKING!!

its not a benefit per say lar.. its more like you don't trust totally by being more 'vigilant' to his activities - eyeballing account or credit card statements, viewing his handphone, packing his wallet etc lar.. not that we become some psycho and log into internet banking every 6 hours to see where he draw his money, or scrolling through his handphone to see what numbers he dailed/received and start calling these numbers to check whom they are or rampaging through his wallet but rather in a more 'concern' way occassionally.. rather than everyday, i happy happy surf net, watch tv, go shopping while he is having a rolling good time outside with someone else on the pretext of work?? and i emphasize again hor, its not the men themselves sometimes want to go outside do all this kind of funny funny activities hor, its some girls i don't trust throwing themselves at our hubbies can.. and if a fish is at a cat's mouth, you think the cat wun wan to just take a bite meh?!? hee..

ya.. childcare teachers you can learn how to handly younger kids but paywise not very good.. tuition teachers got flexible hours.. pay depends on how hard you work lor.. moe teachers start work early but end early (or start late then end late) also.. then child can enrol in school first priority.. also can get more school materials for child!! but still moe teachers very stressful lar.. its not easy handling 40 kids in a class.. good pay though..

haha, i don't you did not ask that question so that i don't have to go calculate.. i'm a big spendthrift.. despite knowing that i still can't resist evertime i walk past a boutique.. on top of that, there is still my manicures, pedicures, facials, make-up.. when i used to work in the super ulu bukit timah plaza, i buy lesser actually, now work in orchard, walk out only is shops shops SHOPS!! ya lor, yellow, that is so sweet of yr hubby lor.. some stuff cannot be measures by $$ one.. i find its the effort and action that counts.. sometimes buy gifts oso no good ar!! maybe he do something WRONG outside lei?? haha~ haha.. newer materials mar..new things always more expensive one like lcd/plasma tvs!! me and hubby oso is dvd people.. find that cinemas always too noisy.. then my hubby need english subtitles one.. or else will keep asking me 'what did they say just now har?' coz he can't catch with their slang (he hokkien pai one).. plus more comfy ma.. coz cushy sofa, can pause to take water etc.. hee..

I think for youngsters like us, we are very transparent with each other.. But those older folks like my parents generation, they are more tight lipped lor.. Like when I got married, my mom kept telling me 'you must have si fang qian!'.. And my dad is totally secretive about his salary one.. Haha.. But me and my hubby also know each other earn how much lar.. Its more practical so that we can plan our expenses etc.. But also to protect myself!! Coz as usual, I find men cannot have too much unmonitored money.. Must eyeball account now and then.. But that also means he can't give me any surprises coz I will know lor.. Well, everything got pros and cons!! My hubby is not a romantic person so no surprises also one lar.. Heh..

no problem lar.. don't waste mah.. can change for vouchers to buy new stuffs for new place or dining vouchers to have a good meal with hubby!! haha, some of my firlfriends got their own place, know how tedious it is to do the cleaning so offered to help lor.. then hubby guy friends all very eng one, so he also jio-jio them lor.. feel like going over to do some cleaning today.. living carpet is up but super dusty so quite worry it will dirty it lor.. yesterday a bangala went over (near 10pm) to do some sweeping and throwing away of stuffs and he stepped on my new carpet lor!! saw his white foot prints he left behind on the dark carpet.. coz we were not there but when we went up, he walked pass us at the lift lobby, can recognise coz i saw my teka box he is throwing away!! haha.. must complain to vincent..

Vincent gave me a surprise by doing this in the mbr toilet for me. I told him I want to box everything up (pipes, trunking, wires) and I expected all the stuffs to be boxed up by plasterboard/chipson board/fibre board or whatever. But he did this storage cabinet for me! There originally was an aircon water outlet pipe running down against the wall. Now I can put my beauty items, accessories, toiletries in there instead of my wardrobe. This is the wallpaper he has chosen for the living area. Rolls of wallpaper. Honestly, I originally thought that wallpaper comes in very BIG rolls lor. Din expect it to be so small or short. Starting work! Called Vincent quite late at night yesterday coz I went up to the new place and saw that the wallpaper that have been done for the study area looks awful. There was an short electrical trunking along that wall and after it was wallpapered, it become very prominent. When it was in the wall colour, it was less obvious. Guess the dark colour amplified it. But feeling very bad about it coz Vincent had offered to wallpaper FOC for us for that area and my other bedroom and now I got to ask him to take the study room one down. Waste his $$. But it really looks terrible. He mentions that the glue will make the wall uneven after he removes it then must sandpaper before painting. I guess he did sound a little upset coz he wanted to do more for us but now it kinda backfired and meant more work for his workers and it might delay his expected handover this coming saturday. The other bedroom wallpaper looks fabulous though. They still have yet to complete my mbr and living wallpaper, continuing on Friday, more pics then! I'm really really really sorry, Vincent..
