Krisietong.... we have the same globe light from Ikea... using two of them as the ceiling light for kitchen.. will be using higher voltage buld for brighter light.. only problem is that it will be quite low, just above my head when i stand below it...

Hey Bro..where got chin-up bar... I think it s the angle of the photo.. it is the ceiling wiring for the bedroom light..

Cove light cosy and cheaper..

Nice wallpaper.. taste.. must be ex right?

Sorry..cross eye... the room behind the LCD TV???

wow..very nice... i see wrong or u got aircon in your kitchen as well??

Hi Sumo... I think you better hold some payment if work is not completed.. my take is that he will have problem following uo once he leave the company... workers, sub-con etc will be from his previos employer and he will have problem activating them.. he may ask for extra payment if use people from his new company... better to ask the present company for a poc to follow thru if work not completed...best of luck..

Hey Bro.. nice to see your blog... your place in good condition... look like a total makeover..post more picture for us...cheers..

Don't have my receipt with me now but i think it is about $1K+ for the dining table..

Can only say........ Really impressive.. You have also added some very nice touch and furnishing around the houce that really add to the overall look... Completed Masterpiece...

Wow.. very nicely done.. your reno also done..... very nice..really like the overall look of the place.. congrats...

Hi Applefreak..the bigger the tile, the higher the skill level required.. if done properly.. will look very nice but with bad workmenship, u will have problem with leveling... also must depend on the floor area,, if too small, may look out of place,,, my 2-cents worth...cheers

Less than $3K.. Good price and the best of all is that they have stock and can deliver within 2 weeks.. if not, will have to wait 8 weeks for delivery..

Wah, must check properly... so u managed to recover?

Went Down to OM at Joo Seng yesterday and confirmed the following purchase: Dining Table - Tempered Glass Top with Stainless Steel/Wood base 6 of this Dining Chair - Simple design and in Black instead of Brown Fnally, a Black 3 seater sofa... decided against a L-Shape sofa as Living Rm quite small and may look congested... Anyway, just nice.. 3 seat for the 3 women in the house.. Me will have my comfy recliner...
