Hi Casa, Thank you thank you! sure! i will definitely share my reno journey ande lobangss here Think mine is not only like a bird nest.. but smaller than a nest hmmm prolly like a mice hole kekeke

Joven 25litre water storage heater Techno 2 burner, we chose sparkling white cuz our Quartz work top will be in sparkling white too! I like this slimline hood from Techno and the 5 multifunction oven from UNO we also bought some other toilet stuff suzh as.. bidet spray and etc.. tehee forget to snap some pictures.. TOTAL DAMAGE: $2, 252.00 (after sooo many discounts!) (AT POH SENG HARDWARE ENTERPRISE PTE LTD for kitchen appliances and accessories) I will try to post the image of the receipt here for the breakdown

7th Oct 2012 - POH SENG HARDWARE ENTERPRISE PTE LTD we shop till we drop! hahaha... bought all the kitchen appliances and toilet accessories at freaking madly cheap prices !! 4 x 2small & 2big metal shelves for bathrooms (the top and last bottom) 2 x toilet mirrors 2 x overhead rain shower (square shape) thought of buying the round shape but too bad the price is over my budget our sexy curve and simple kitchen tap single bowl undermount sink, can't afford to buy kraus sink so we bought Elkay brand

and chose this checkered tiles for my kitchen entrance flooring border thought of taking mosaic tiles for the (between dining & kitchen entrance flooring border), but ID said mosaic is hard to maintain the grout line haizz.. CraftBrick - Austin, CSI-093 for our bricks wall yeay! we bought 12 cartons of them direct from the factory at Ayer Hitam, Johor Bahru Hafary quoted us for $95/carton but factory quoted us RM85/carton ($35 Singapore dollars!) so total we paid RM1, 020.00 inclusive FREE DELIVERY to my dad's JB crib at Larkin I spent only SGD500 for 12cartons craftbricks!!! 5th Oct 12 - Another Appointment With ID, Electrical Workers & Window Grilles Took another leave on Friday, as our ID need to re-confirm the false ceiling layout, hacking walls, additional&relocation of SCV & power points, wardrobe size, kitchen cabinets size and etc and we have confirmed with Alex from alexwindow.blogspot.com to do our service yard sliding window 3panels, whole house grilles and 2 bi-fold toilet doors. sample photo of the bi-fold door we chosed: white and simple!!! i loike! not sure if this considered reasonable price or X !! but I have tried my best to bring down the price to $1, 800/- for all the above works. $600 for sliding window at svc yard (3 panels) $700 whole house grilles (svc yard, living room, common bedroom & master besroom) $500 for bi-fold doors (white powder coated with white acrylic) Total: $1, 800.00 is this expensive???

and finally, our small master bedroom the roof top carpark view from our master bedroom Ouh ya and this is the view form our Living Room.. hmmm not bad Glad that our unit have less defects and zero cracks on the walls, just minor minor things to report: Low water pressure, loose glue main door frames rubber, lil dent on living room's window frames After checking defects on site, we have another appointment with our ID at Hafary, TradeHub21.. to choose our tiles!!! yeay and here's the homo tiles color we choose, swee swee and within the budget given by our ID ($2.50 - $3.00psf) we pick this clr because i like it to be plain and love the glossy shiny look! hope this will brighten my small unit and make it looks spacious. not sure if this is beige, off white or light grey??

the "spacious" kitchen and the service yard, where I can wave and say hello bye bye to the opposite neighbor! our common bathroom.. found it a bit spacious than the master bathroom our girl's room - it's going to be a pink princess theme!

bare flooring as we opted out it together with the internal doors the tiny mini living room, view from TV console area the bomb shelter next to main entrance (i don't like this) the mini dining area and kitchen entrance the walkways to the bedrooms

Right after keys collection, we took cab to our new house!!! can't wait any longer lah!!! hahaha! 3rd Oct 12 - On Site Checking Defects First arrive, check our mailbox We were welcomed by this nice uncle, his name is Jack/ETO the person in charge for haulage service for Champions Court. brought him up to our unit to give quotation on the hacking service work. open sesame !! view from the main entrance

Here's our floor plan, just nice for a small petite family (me, hubby and our 2 lil angels) ahaks! Champions Court is located near to the Singapore Sports School and Causeway Point Shopping Mall (it's about 10mins walk), apart from that our new house also surrounded by few other schools! I don't think I will need an alarm clock to wake up early morning heh One year before to our probable completion date we already start searching and asking quotation from ID's.. hahaha! excited much till one day we met this ID at IMM; and the price he quoted for our house are just nice and within our budget.. so, we signed up the contract with him *when think back, me and hubby kinda regret* but anyway.. we already prepared for the worst but still praying for the best tho !!
