read in today's ST digital life that there's a guy who sells prints of replica paintings with royalty going to the artists from USD25 for A4-size paper print to USD125 for six-foot canvas reproduction good for those who are looking for something to up the chic-level artprintsasia.com

can let me know the address of the shop that sells the switches? kenna tempted by another forummer who show lobang of $6 switches will check both out and see which one is better can also let me know the contact of the spray-painter? will check out the price and restrictions as well

so means man sleep on the right hand side of woman right? that is if both are comfortable with it... maybe now i know why i punched my bf when i sleep

hehehe you blur leh bluberi is the one who posted that her mother rented out the flat loh can't wait to see more pix on the works-in-progress you got pix of the things you bought already? me aiming the RAM mirror from ikea $9.90 only, pine frame. good enough for me to put inside the toilets

hi vanessa, have not actually purchased anything from that series but i'm looking at the shelves, the one with four bars to put on kitchen wall so that i can keep my pots and covers and also in the bathroom maybe to put towels and shampoo didn't like the things from grundtal so bought AK from WMF instead went down to look at the spice rack coz that time promo at $12 the workmanship sharp edges and all, so banned it from my kitchen

maybe you can ask if got group discount or not? then we can engage the same contractor to do the spray-painting if it's cheaper btw, wanted to ask you about your switches are they serving you well? thinking of changing the switches as well my list of wants just keep getting longer

hehehe, we are turning this aging thread into a chat thread i have this bad habit of digressing lah, sorry sorry sorry yes i almost fainted from the defects when i first opened the door bo bian loh, that's why hdb make you pay first before seeing the unit mah if not think all units cannot sell liao as for the rest of my life, it's still a long way to go leh currently this arrangement suits us loh, so why change something that's working? whether i move in with him or he move in with me is all quite fluid loh maybe i'll stay over with him somedays and he'll stay over somedays as it is, we make time for each other e.g. he'll talk to me on the phone when i walk to work, have dinner with me everyday... if married liao, maybe we'll keep thinking we'll see each other at home and do nothing like that liao (as evident from my friend's marriage) so sad loh well, back to the aging topic another sign i find is the kind of things you want to buy last time i use to go for the latest mobile phones, clothes and shoes now i prefer to save up for big ticket items like tv, trips and maybe a car

actually if you look carefully, even the accessories got different grades the recent promo on the kitchen stuff? there are at least three different types of material for kitchen accessories. if i get any of the accessories, i'd only take the grundtal series coz the rest not stainless steel. the price is of course only slightly, if not, cheaper than outside

how to tell? as in facing the bed man on left or lying on bed man on left???

i have owned many pieces from ikea from the queen loft bed to chest-drawers and wardrobes like any other furniture shops, they hv the cheap range and quality range if you want quality, then expect to pay a little more for it if you dun mind the compromise, then just ensure you dun shift your furniture around once it's assembled the solid pine series are really good, my babies sleep on the shelves and it's still serving me well

hahaha, i can totally understand how you felt that day wet, hungry and tired but still long way to go can't remember liao but one of the earlier days i also cry inside my new unit when i was so pixxed with the hdb tile contractor it's good to let yourself go once in a while and just cry your heart out works for me everytime i'll feel like a new person when i finish crying after reading all the things you post, i realised i may have to take leave during my renovation process coz i'm also the detail type of pple loh if got eye-sore think i will just keep staring at it, hoping it will disappear somehow keep us updated on how it is living in a bigger place me now getting worried about the cleaning part

that's so comforting to hear really hope that my babies will settle just as well

wow that's really affordable makes me start thinking about changing all the switches already

coz i think the tiles will be on the base also mah so if want to hack dun know will damage the cabinets or not also, can't imagine living with the dust and dirt and no cooking! think i'll just starve to death just thinking about it $900 to spray the kitchen walls quite okay leh or maybe i can spray the kitchen floor then every few years can change colour hehehe

bought an EA in the same cluster as bluberi so will sell my current place loh (but it's my parents' place so i dun get anything) update us with your reno progress maybe we can give you some suggestions as to where to get what

yes he does know what i'm thinking guess we belong to a small group of pple who feels that getting married only serves two purpose 1. buy hdb flat 2. have child/ren since i accomplished 1 and dun intend to do 2 dun see the pt of getting married loh also, he doesn't stay with me coz we believe in showing the best side of ourselves to each other do you believe that i have a friend's friend who will wake up before the husband and sleep only after the husband sleeps??? reason - she doesn't want husband to see her without make-up me not so extreme lah, just that we have our own funny quirks and it's quite difficult to live together loh

my guess would be that your FH is feeling a sense of helplessness most men want to protect their love from anything and everything now this has to happen and he is helpless he can't protect you from all the hurt and disappointment that's why he is keeping mum coz he is really feeling useless that he dun have the money to just hire another contractor nor the ability to give you the dream home you want. guess you two have to learn to give support to each other treat this as a test to strengthen your relationship like the saying goes - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger when all this is behind you, the two of you can look back and smile jia you jia you

love your string curtains! where did you get it? me looking for similar one also hahaha, next time when i show pix of my new place think you will see big and small backsides

you building kitchen cabinet right? if so next time how to change the flr tiles? me initially didn't want to change the flr tiles, but if now dun change next time very difficult to change liao so think maybe just go for it as for the bathroom tiles, dun know should do anything to them or not maybe if still got a bit left over, will get someone to spray paint them instead like some forummers here did

me is the super kiasu person already bought my air-con when i got my keys come to think of it, i can't believe me too bought a LG sys 3 non-inverter from besttech at $1650 the standard class 0 dun-noe-what-flex insulation, gr23 copper and unlimited piping with two trips... spoke to patrick who said that my trunking got to run the length of BR2 coz of the structural beam between MBR and BR2 now will call the air-con guy to come down and see how. not getting false ceiling coz already find the ceiling too low (my family members average 1.7 and above ) now come to think about it, think i went shopping-mad a little too early some of the purchases i regret a bit coz might have gone for something better if i know i got more time to earn more money but guess the prices i got back then can't be found now so some consolation there

very valid points, think better not try and 'hide' the trunking in case the pipes leak or what. taking the box-up apart cost money, worst will be those small leaks, not enough to drip out but coz the box-up to start rotting will be meeting patrick this saturday, think will discuss with him about the kitchen tiles. you're right about the not-moving out part, so might as well do it once and for all. most to most take a 'friendly' loan from my bf

dun like that say leh when i mean the same it's really the same leh down to the colour of the cabinets, the position and design of kitchen stove and even the stained glass door of the cabinets. even the mosaic arc-way to the kitchen also sama sama, just different colour slight difference is that my current home got one bathroom and one toilet, but both in the kitchen, and no storeroom hmm, when i finally shift over to my new place will take some photos of my old place

hehehe i went to the showflat partly bcoz i want to steal idea as to how to run the trunking so asked a lot of questions. then we realised the trunking seems to run away from the MBR so asked the SA there, then he told us the compressor at the balcony. we were like bluberi, it's okay lah if my bf ask why am i spending additional amt again then i'll point him to this t-blog chat but seriously, like what you have said, the kitchen tiles really cmi loh really dun know what is wrong with the person who choose this colour thanks pencil for your suggestions seems like box-up is the way to go, but dun know how much more it's gonna set me back is my expenditure going to crept up to $40k?

welcome to renotalk more pix more pix the layout of your flat looks almost the same as my current home even the kitchen cabinet colour also the same

guess for me budget really tight so can't change the kitchen floor or should i just grit and go for it? hmm... spoke to my TO over the phone just now now then she tell me the doors are also rectified can still ask me have or not? i was like 'why didn't you tell me last week?' coz didn't check when i go down on saturday then she also say for hollow tiles, they will only replace if the tile is half or more hollow, if not then shouldn't have any problem anyway sent her the links to all the photos liao lah see what she says loh i also went to take a look at the showflat find that it's really anyhow do one leh then best part is the air-con compressor is at the balcony btw, how you run your air-con trunking? will be getting the air-con down to install trunking soon but heard about the horrible beams so wondering how best to camouflage the trunking (no false ceiling for me)
