Hi BenTan, Pmed u..

Aww thanks fimo88, yes you are right multi-generation indeed. When we chose this place we had our parents in mind. Although lots of young couples would like to live on their own, it was different for us as we love having all our family members with us. My son has many hands to take care of him and hey, it takes a village to raise a child right! Anyways I have pm-ed you the contact... All the best for your dream home!

Okies this is super long overdue... here are my house pics after live-in... real life condition.. The entrance... love the hello.. Our living room view from the front door with the hari raya fairy lights hung on the beams.. from this pic you can see the two fans placement.. the small one and big one.. this is quite enough for whole of my livingroom to be cooled down when guests come over. Another view of living room from the dining room side... My shoe cabinet area.. And dining room... Will update kitchen and other rooms later...

Hi minnie15, Pm sent..

The aeratron fans are very cooling but i guess with ceilling fans there is a limited area that it covers. The coverage to me is more than the blade area which is better than my previous fan which is fanco. But for my rooms, i put it above the bed and its really cold at night. I used to on aircon and fan everynight in my previous house but with this juz the fan is more than enough and we dont even use the highest speed. For my livingroom, we supplement the fan with a smaller fan from the corner. Its the fino fan, see attached pic. And this fan is superb! It blows air from the corner of my living room to those areas which are not covered by the aeratron fan. I guess all in all its the placement of the fan that matters no matter which fan you choose. Hope this helps you...

The ramp can be removed. But the way they did it, it looks soo seamless that its as if its fixed. All my rooms are using burmese teak flooring. Will pm you his contact.. sorry for the late reply i am overseas now.

Hi Changbp, the standalone cooker cost about 2.8k from mega.. yes the oven is slightly bigger than a normal one.

Haha i really hope sempat for raya. Now moving in while minor rectifications are ongoing. It is a tiring process summore puasa.. lol for my mum's room and bro's room i use those typical ceilling lights but cos their rooms are rectangle in shape, i divide by 2 and light up their working area with the lights and fans will be above their beds. This does cause some darkness in certain parts of the room but oh wells, they are not studying in the room its just for chilling and sleeping and changing clothes right. For my master, i have the l-box with the down lights and cove lighting as well. As for my study, its basically a square room thus i have to stick to the fan with light which i choose Fanco. Hope this helps. Haha i know right.. i love the texture.

Update on Kitchen... At last the most anticipated item for my kitchen is here! My countertop. I so cannot wait to cook and bake in my new kitchen! We went two weeks ago on a Monday to Kranji to choose our granite tops. It was scorching hot i tell you but these were the two we picked. This will be for the main kitchen counter, where the stove an sink are. If I remember correctly this is from India, but it is not black galaxy. Had used black galaxy for my previous house and wanted a change. Thus this caught my eyes. This was our chosen one for the island. This is Italian granite. Sound expensive hor but they cost the same. lol... about $160 per foot. Kitchen after installing. Still not done: plumbing and tap. Close up of the surface Kitchen Island After installing, I kind of prefer the look of the island! Its got the hotel feel.. lol. But oh wells, next time then. We also got them to cut from the sink cut out to make ledges for our bathrooms. something like this... (pic from Crate and Barrel) All that will be installed today. will update again with pics.

Review of our fans so far... As we both drooled over some forummers haiku fans, we thought this time round we would like to get a haiku fan for our huge living room. Thus the husband went to email them(the main distributor) our floor plans and asking some questions. Sad to say we were not impressed with the service or the performance other than the aesthetics part of the fan. It is a really good looking fan but am I willing to fork out THOUSAND plus for the one and only fan? I guess not. Thus we were disappointed. Since my colleague mentioned that he went to JB to buy KDK fans, I thought lets have a look. Sadly to say we were also disappointed as most shops in JB do not display their KDK fans and most models were not reccommeded for HDB flats. So we looked around more and chanced upon a really good looking fan. I believe its called Aeratron. They come in 60", 50" and 43". They had the fan on display at Tampoi Lighting Shop and we tried it and we fell in love with it. Thus we bought our living room fan from there. As usual, I think we are super lousy at bargaining, and therefore the price we got the 60" fan was about RM1500. (which we found out was RM250 more than other shops!) Not knowing nor reading about this fan's reviews we just went ahead and bought it. And then after googling more and asking around more, we found out about this shop HT Lighting, which sold the aeratron at RM1250 regardless of the size! Therefore we bought another 4 more fans from them. 2 of the 50" for Dining room and Mum's room. And 2 of the 43" for the masterbedroom and brother's room. So far I'm loving it. If i can go back i would change the 60" to the 50". Because apparently the motor of all the fans are the same regardless of the blades. Thus the one with the 60" goes slightly slower. Since it is a DC Fan, the air flow is very soothing, something like a sitting by the beach and the wind continuously blows over you. This is by far the most silent fan I have ever used comparing to my previous house of using relite fans and fanco fans. Thus, I am satisfied with my purchase... Bye bye haiku. I will never consider you again. Living room 60" Masterbedroom 43" Brother's room 43" Mum's room 50" (pardon the hanging light, was installed incorrectly) Fou our study room, we scouted around JB for fans with lights BUT the light was too dim or the design too ugly. Thus we stuck to the Fanco that we are used to.

Have pm-ed you.

Ohhh chevron on the spice rack... Have pm-ed you!

Standalone cooker bought at Mega for the best price. I think if buy at mayer its more ex! Will PM you his contact.

Thank you gumbokins!

Here is another view of my kitchen and the full morrocan tiles.. simply love it! Now just waiting for the granite to be up next Monday! This is the updated island that i requested to make. Initially i wanted to put granite on the sides of the island as well like the pic below... But the quote was super over the budget therefore i requested for a change and only put granite at the counter top. We chose different granites for both tops the kitchen counter and the island. Hope it turns out ok. This is our island pushed out a bit more into living area and awaiting the granite... Just wondering, if anyone has any suggestions with regards to the space beside my water dispenser. If i push it to the side there will be a gap tho not so big but i think its a bit ugly. What can i put? So far i could only think of those ikea moveable trolley. Any ideas?

Lol!

Thank you lalashir! I love the herringbone flooring too! Hi everyone, I forgot the company and I keep forgetting to take a pic of the receipt. But worry not, i have his number you can call him and ask for the 3D design gate. Ansley- 9732 0806 There are actually many designs you can choose from plus you can even customise of cos i think that will cost more. Hope this helps.
