Kerlyn

hey... welcome to the "bird don't lay egg" area! I live in jw st 92 for 95% of my life. It's a great place to stay in. Hope you enjoy the place like I love my parent's home!

Hi Keysmaker, thanks for your praise. My house has not offically handover, left with the glass backing not done yet. But we have move in alr. We has been settling down for 1 week, quite a relaxing week cuz didn't do much work. Still waiting for Mr L for my glass backing before my flat OFFICALLY hand back to us. I must say my ID is really a nice guy. Give him 8.5 out of 10. No perfect job in this world. Given that my house has not much hacking, quite a fair bit of carpentary, the quote he have me is really reasonable, 23k. He will advice me on what things is need and what type of things is want, so really help me to save a fair bit. He also tell me that he's an ID, so anything that goes thru him will incur additional cost, and that we shall go directly to his contact for cheaper deals. 1 of the example is my wall paper. So far everything is in order, no defects at the moment. Now still have to wait for my furniture b4 my home can be completed.

Hey, u using nippon paint? After looking at your purple ceiling, I regret mine not done in that color. But mine very purple-ish for my mbr. My house aso no theme. Just have to do what we want. Btw, did u build your own baywindow in the living room?

Hey Sygnur, thanks! Good news is that I can bring Tiffany back home every night, except for Wed cuz got swimming class. I'm still thinking whether I should further my studies or not. The pros is that I'm more educated and perhaps bring in more income for the family. Hubby mention that if I take a advanced dip, princess will feel proud of me too! The cons is that less time for princess! It's hard for me to decide. Gr... TO ALL MY BELOVED CASA CLEMENTI PEEPS, this is what I read recently, extract from Channel News asia. "SINGAPORE: The Housing & Development Board (HDB) has been conferred six prestigious industry awards. Five projects -- My Waterway@Punggol, Punggol East, Greenwood Sanctuary@Admiralty, Casa Clementi and Ghim Moh Valley -- won the International Real Estates Federation (FIABCI) Singapore Property Awards 2012." Feel kinda proud that Casa Clementi won this awards. My 1/2 a million house has not gone to waste. Settling in the new house is not a easy chore, at least for hubby. He has been cleaning and vaccuming the house almost every night. I have been accompany and playing with princess till she sleep, but have to wake up in the morning to do chores too. Not an easy task. After moving in to Clementi, I realised that I stop certain activities I used to do, for eg: watch TV. Boo~ Just wondering if any of the resident residing at 420 #xx-211 have problems with their internets? I'm unable to access the internet from my MBR. My mio tv is in my living room. Also, I realised that among the 4 units of mine, 3 are SERS resident. 2 are pretty friendly with 1 of the aunty frequently visit my house to take a look. Hopefully 1 of the aunty can help me take care of princess!

Thanks Sygnur, she's a darling! Yday marks my offical moving-in date. Cater a mover to move 1 room full pack of stuff. Total cost $180. Service is 4.5/5. 2 of my shoe rack drop and informed the packer about it. They told me they will bring it back within 1 hour, but think 1/2 hour it's already at my door step. Didn't know that my gas stove final connection need to be arrange by myself. Told Mr L abt it and he msg me some weird weird msg. So after a few msg, I sms him, "Lucas, do u know who am I?". That's when he realise that he has msg the wrong Kerlyn. It's kinda amazing that my ID has client of the same name. Anyone has this problem b4? Or anyone knew how long it will take for the city gas guys to come down to do the connection? Also did up my storeroom. Paid a reasonable of $180 for my storeroom. Beside this, another uncle(around 60years old), came knocking my door. He's here to fix up my main door. From wad he comment, our door is still easily removed by the burglar and hence change the hinges. He's rather knowlegeable and told me that all my 3 neighbors are actually in SERS scheme and he has been coming up my house often to see if we are at home. Beside helping me out in the hinges, he also fix me to fix the portable lock on my main door. Although yday was our move-in date, I'm not as happy as hubby. To me, my jurong west home & clementi home are the same. Just that clementi home is registered under my name. Princess has not moved in with us. That's the pain in my heart. Although we are just 15 mins driveway(AYE Clementi exit to Pioneer Circle), We are unable to bring her back. My work start at 8am and hubby has different site to work on, so timing wise is very diffcult. I missed princess a lot a lot. She make me grew up from a small woman to a mature lady. I thank her for letting me to grow up

Thanks Keysmaker! 1 reason for colorful theme bcuz of princess. We wanted her to grow up in a colorful world. Today marks the XX day of my reno. Lost count of the days. Has been going up to my flat to see almost everyday. Work has been good, carpentary guy's work is good too. Everything is okay except my granite top. It is obvious that it's not straight. Has asked Mr L to take a look. Today will be the final printing and also tml will be a chemical wash. Tml has a hectic schedule. Singtel coming in the morning, kitchen appliance will be in and curtain too. Although my offical handover date is 29 Oct due to glass backing, I'm moving in on sun! No throwing of pineapple or bleh bleh. 1 reason is bcuz I have a MIC hubby. But my housewarming will be in mid Nov as my furniture has yet to arrive. Really hope that the furniture shop will not give me any problem. Every 19th is my happy day! Princess 6th month of arrival! My Princess Tiffany! Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Hey, it's nice! You did purple for your ceiling? I have most of your colors in my house

Yday went to Catalogue on Tuesday to buy an additional roll of wallpaper. It cost me $85 per roll, but for 2 rolls and above it's $75 per roll. For those who know how do DIY, please DIY yourself. 1 box of glue is less than $10, but the cost for someone to paste it for you is relatively high. My L-shaped wall done by Ryan was $200 including 1 plastering, that's a friendship price for Mr L. Catalogue quote me $50 per roll but min 3 roll, so I guess this time I have to go with Catalogue. I believe I have bought most of the things except, kitchen knife and my mops. Will be moving in this Sun. A bit sad cuz princess will not be moving in with me and will only stay with me during weekend. But will bring her back in Jan 14. I hope I will be strong, no mother would like to be parted with their children.

Hi star70, if I'm not wrong, you should be staying around 800++

Weekend was definately well-spent. Sat was princess's jab day follow by a visit to HN to buy home theatre system at West Mall. Bought the air purificer at less than $200 at HN too. It's a gift for princess. I wanted a better water drinking system, but it's not cheap and not available for sale at HN. Sun went to jurong point to shop for kitchen ware. The price is quite high as I do not want to use plastic kitchen ware, except for ice cream bowls. So went to Tott at Dunearn road and came out with almost $100 worth of kitchen ware. They are having a 10% discount, so it's still worth it and the price is almost 1/2 of what JL and ntuc can sell. Of cuz, they are not as light as JL's products, but it's still consider light compare to IKEA. Had a short last min meet-up with Mr L. Meet him to have some discussion and to ensure that everything is in order. So far so good. I must say we really click on with him and we are more like personal friend than "client-customer". Hopefully all goes well and everything except glass-backing with be ready by Sat. Den sun we can offically move in.

The above is my living hall, purple as a base and sunny yellow as a feature. Uploaded with ImageShack.us My mbr, totally purple color. Can someone teach me how to rotate the pic, try to rotate it b4 I upload, but still not good... This week is mostly on carpentary job and getting Mr L's friend to paste my wallpaper. Try pasting the wallpaper on myself, but it's a failure. So spent some money to paste on 2 walls. I'm trying to ask the person who sell me the wallpaper where he bought it, so I can paste another roll on the other wall. It has always been a smooth sailing working with Mr L, occassionally will call me up to tell me what is going on. But problem do arise. That's my own problem, I suppose. My dinning light(LED) is quite dark, making my whole living room a bit darker, so have to ask the electrican down to do a light near the door. The funny part is that, I have been telling them that I want to tap the light from the dinning area, but they keep thinking it's tap from kitchen. A bit funny, but nevertheless the problem is solved. Went to some shops in jurong east(opp chinese garden) and bought the light. Not that I fancy, hubby say save money, no more crystal light. Okay, I admit that I fall in love with 1 crystal light that cost me $105, but hubby bought the brighter light at $55. The lighting aren't that expensive over at jurong east. I seriously doesn't like my house's design that much(still grumbling). Dislike the toilet and my bay window. I'm still afraid that after a few years, my bay window will turn horrible looking. As for my "coffee shop" looking toilet, I dun know how am I going to settle. Hubby die die dun wan to do anything to it. I think for the first 5 years, I have to work my a** off to repay my reno debts.
