hello all - just want to blog this depressing moment i'm facing right now; it's about the contractor I engage to do the haulage svc and demolition work (which is specially assigned by HDB) I was told that we only allowed to engage this guy to do haulage and demolition work in our estate so, first when my reno permit approved on 10.10.12 I only have a valid 3days permit (15, 16 and 17 Oct 12)for demolition work and it was first scheduled on 15.10.12; after office hour we went to champions court to check but surprisingly they have not started yet then we called them to re-confirm.. and this time they told us they going to do it on 16th morning... and we went to CC again that night to check... and still!!! no progress at all!!! what is going on now?!?!?!?!? called this guy 'Jack' to check why and why and why... i need a detailed explanation of this delay. the funny part he said that 'they have not enough worker, cuz the worker who's going to do the demolition at my unit is feeling unwell (on MC 2days!!!) what the #=.£%"^&!¬ this is absurd when nobody else can replace his sick worker. so today, I sent a strong email to HDB W'lands Branch, Town Council and CC the email to all the officers in charge.. phew finally today after lunch I receive a phone call from town council confirming about the demolition works has been scheduled to tmr morning. Not sure if this a standard price for demolition work; I was quoted $1, 330 for kitchen entrance wall and walls between kitchen and svc yard I will try to nego the price since they already late for the demolishing work. Here's some quick update photos: 15th Oct 12 - Arrival of my tiles from Hafary 16th Oct 12 - Sand and tiles brought up into my unit

Thank you Sygnur !! bought all you lighting needs already?

Hi Cutebaby20, Here's the address where I bought my ceiling fans and LED ceiling lights: Company Name : TAMPOI LIGHTING CENTRE Category : LIGHTING Type : LIGHTING FIXTURES-WHSLE & MFRS Address : NO 4 ,TAMAN TAMPOI INDAH,81200 TAMPOI,JOHOR Below is the CHEAPESTplace that I bought my white frame downlights, Philip bulbs, small white tilt downlight fittings, tracklights and T5 tube at only RM13/T5 tube = less than $5. It's a small, dusty, kind of old-school type shop not like those normal lighting shops displaying those chandelier lights - but they have a catalog of downlights/spotlights that you can choose from.

Wahh! Kim, many thanks for the compliments Yeah me too, hope that my small house will turn out nice and cozy hehehe.. but I can beat your house ley! very cozy, neat and awesome! simplicity is the best.. Think I will get the Replica White Eames Eiffel DSW Chair no budget to buy the authentic one heh

hi there, thank you thank you! yah my 3rooms also very very very small.. think it's about 65sqm internal =( now i'm having a hard time to decide about my kitchen cabinet layout..

waaa!!! how much you bought the 3doors Mitsubishi Fridge? wanted to buy Mitubishi fridge too at the first place.. but they don't have it in white clr =/ how long they can hold your stuff?

Ouh ya! forget to share another stuff i bought on July, it's like 2 months before I got my new house keys Kiasu me But now I'm considering to put just 1 Fat Beat at my Dining cuz they're so BIG for my small dining area.. it's gonna look weird Tom Dixon Beats Pendant Lights for my dining area: $150+ inclusive shipping from eBay for ABC set (Wide, Fat and Tall Beat Lights, it's cheaper at Taobao website) with this small dining table from IKEA!! aaaaaaaand with this Eames chair... awwwwwwwwwww... pretty pretty pretty! What do you think? Not bad huh.. hehehe

Hhehehe sis, i'm not sure if this place is the cheapest in town. but you can try to call them to get a quote and also try to compare prices with E-verjoint at amk.. what brand you bought?

Wowwww!!!!!!! Kraus undermount sink i loike!!! But i can't afford to have this.. very X! end up i bought Elkay single bowl.

HUh?! really ah? i'm so worried at first because i thought $1.7K is a lil bit too much for 3rooms.. unless if it's a resale 3 room flat.. Anyway $1.8 and $1.7 not much different ya let me have a look at your T-Blog now

Hi Kim, Thank you! my heart pain lei when I first receive the quotation. Before I revise my quotation it's was initially quoted at $2K.. i laughed out like mad women not believing the price charged, thought my electrical had given me his other client's quotation.. but when I double check, it is my address since we prioritize our living room and kitchen.. so we gotta cancel our downlights and false ceiling in master bedroom.. cuz they charged us $35 per additional point plus everything is concealed and all wires are embedded haizz.. overall, we hope that the result will turn out well and worth the $1700 tehee

Of coz it's cheap hahaha cuz mine is only 3 rooms lei.. Why don't you just take cab or hire a private tours van/mpv that can fetch and send you back to Singapore? and Tampoi Lighting shop can help you to issue fake receipt.. in case you kena TAX at custom clearance.

Hi Nexer, I'm afraid not, cuz Serene emailed me, she only can deliver it to JB. This is what I did, they deliver all the 12 cartons to my dad's crib in JB.. then every weekend when I top up petrol in JB, I smuggle 1 carton bit by bit hahaha.. now left another 2 cartons to bring in to Singapore hehehe

Hi Nexer - yah i think that is the standard psf price they quoted us.. mine was quoted for 6.9ft x height 8.5ft wall. I think if you can hire someone to install the bricks is better, then you purchase the bricks direct form the factory at only RM85/carton

Hi Kim, Thank you Thank you !! heh Yah me too! can't wait to see my tiler installing the bricks ahaks! still long way to go.. today (16.10.12) my flooring not up yet, think after 1 week then they will start to install the bricks! Will keep you all posted

It's my dad's favorite electrical appliances shop, can look for Uncle Koh, very nice old man. My dad use to buy electrical appliances from him since I was 7yrs old My hubby die die wanna buy Fisher & Paykel $999 @ Courts but due to many negative feedback about Fisher & Paykel services and expensive spare parts and etc.. I managed to persuade my husband 'ONLY GO FOR JAPAN'S BRAND!' hahaha! So we bought this Hitachi 2-doors Fridge R-Z481EMSX, White Color!!! Pretty lah this fridge, i loike! I chose the tallest fridge! DAMAGE COST: $780!

Hi Nexer, Yah bricks is super X at hafary.. it's better to purchase it directly from the factory. Actually I have another separate quotation from CraftStone Singapore.. quoted me $1, 350/- for CSI093 bricks plus installation (from their sub-con) but my hubby prefer to buy the bricks from JB cuz they deliver for FOC (to JB only).

sygnur, thank you thank you... i'm not sure bout the concrete support thingy but i will check with my contractor about this.. think, it's better to do it la sis.. i'll try to request this to my ID thank you for the tips!
