Sorry peeps! it's been a long time since i came in.. thought there is no interest anymore. lol i think it's too late for me to reply you all.. but i'll just do it anyway uneven-ness - yes.. quite obvious too.. but i can live with it.. and nothing i can do with it too.. haha have PM rest of the guys my contractor details... haha for those that want my contractor details.. can PM me.. so i will get email alerts and reply you promptly... thanks!

yeah.. get the cheaper one... few years later you can change again if you dont like it anymore! haha my rinnai city gas water heater not working very well..i believe it is still under warranty.. do i call rinnai or city gas ?

current status of my common toilet... found and patched the hole.. waiting for them to finish up the work tomorrow..

Hi mmoh, it is about 90cm x 65 cm. honestly i feel its quite a small space... can feel quite restricted... my contractor quoted me $880 for it.. which is **** expensive.. i asked for overall discount.. i did search for direct supplier and the price is about what your contractor quoted you... the basin mirror cost me $60 each from IKEA.

thanks bro for your help! they came today and will arrange the main contractor to repair the pipe.. they will hack from the toilet side... they wanted to do it ASAP because they think the leak is bad.. and if carry on may even affect my neighbors downstairs.. after that is done, i dont know if i want to paint my wall again or just leave it be.. hahhaa

yes, it is much cooler compared to the other parts of the wall.. I jus called my contractor, and he says most likely is water leakage. advise that i call HDB first. my flat is more than a year.. sigh...

Hi benetay, thanks for the prompt reply! I'm actually using city gas heater. this is how the pipe run behind this wall (taken from my toilet) since this is done by hdb, should i call my contractor or HDB?

ISSUES - Molding on my wall I realized there is this patch of my paint that is in different tone few weeks back (looks like its wet) didn't take much care about it however, realise the patch is growing. upon closer inspection, it looks like mold is growing and spreading! they are on the same wall.. and it happen that water pipes inside these walls... blue is pipe red is where the molds are black is the power switches can anyone advise what i should do? is the pipe leaking that is causing it?

Thanks Sundown!

hi guys~ any lobang for curtains? many thanks!

no prob! anyway.. bought 4 chairs from Ikea to match the table...

Hi chilarvet! thanks! Yes, I unpack and fixed it all by myself. There are no instructions given, but luckily its quite straight forward. The quality it quite good. The wood is heavy and steady. The downside, though, is the damages due to shipment. took some photo of the damages. coffee table TV console but i guess i can live with it. for the coffee table, i'll try sand it and paint it white.

My coffee table & TV console Carpet Dining table and.. Dustbin... haha other smaller items not unpack yet...

my second (and hopefully last) major purchase from taobao/Tmall is here! will upload the photos once i unpack!

Hi Chilarvet, Thanks!! I think there are many ways to do this kind of cabinets. Mine is paint ( for the frame) and laminate for rest. the bad side for paint is that it may turn yellow-ish and/or sticky if not maintained properly. My kitchen cabinet cost me about S$6.2k. The sink & stove side is 23.5ft total for top and bottom. The opposite side is 8ft bottom. iQuartz table top 18.5ft my contractor did gave me further discount based on the whole package... i feel your pain.. and there is nothing we can do.... haiz... thanks for the compliment and suggestions. i hope so too. Hi bizkid79, cheers~

my sofa and fridge is delivered today... finally some updates.. haha now waiting for my dining table, tv console and coffee table from taobao... another long wait...

sure! no problem! haha hi fctam, i'll pm you instead...

Hi binzz, This is what my contractor did. I suppose this should be the usual way of doing it.

Hi all, just realised i have not update this blog for more than 2 weeks. finally completed the renovation of my flat. now left is the furnishings. I'll give a short review of my contractor. Overall, i will recommend my contractor to anyone if ask.. it's quite a positive experience... Pros: - Very fast. most of the time, he is waiting for me rather than me waiting for him - Open to ideas, and give practical suggestions to improve your ideas - Will rectify any issues/defects promptly - general comments is that his workmanship is rather good Cons: - some of the items he charge is not exactly cheap. however, the good thing is that most of these items you can get from direct supplier (window grills, shower screen, vinyl flooring etc) - like most contractors, he does not provide overall 3d drawings. the only 3d drawings will be your carpentry - does not provide frequent updates, coupled with the fact that he does things v fast. there are times whereby i wanted to change some designs only to realise that he has completed the work - sometimes he will make his own decision to change the design. Initially the idea is to put the oven below our hob but he switch it to the other side w/o informing us. the reason he gave was that he find it too cramp to put everything on one side. no issue for us, as we find that the overall look is still ok (however, i feel that if we insist, he will change it back for us). So, if anyone interested to engage him, do be very specific on your instructions. this is my first renovation, so I'm not sure if these points are relevant a not. Don't worry, he is not giving me any commission nor discounts to post this. hahahaha

Hi Jiawen, Just found out from my contractor. They used those paint for wood.. to paint those lines...

hi jiawen, yeap.. pure white.. the frame is painted and the rest is laminates..

and lastly our vanity.. initially, we wanted white colour.. but we thought it will be too boring with everything white.. so we tried something different.. choose grey instead... had a little shock when i saw it.. first, why is the side so high!! second, its a little grey-er than expected.. but this is still acceptable.. going to ask my contractor lower the 'border'... Common toilet MBR toilet overall look (extremely blur photos) with my ikea mirror.. in conclusion, the colour combination doesn't turn out that well.. guess thats why im not an ID afterall.. hahah

Our kitchen faucet installed... installed a small piece of solid surface on the wall in btw kitchen and service yard initially wanted to install tiles but my contractor suggested this. noticed the small piece of blue tape? they installed the everything w/o removing it.. now i had a hard time removing it cleanly... tried to pull it out but the silicon is coming out with it.. haha going to throw this back to my contractor...

Hi! they installed it today. went over and check, looks like no leaking issues... hope it stay this way.. Hi! I have not talk to my contractor yet.. but here is the photo i took today.. looks like silicon to me...

hi mrmrstan, yeap.. its cheap.. thats why we decide to take the risk.. my plumber have not installed it.. should be done by this week.. will let u know if i head over... hey bro, no worries man! good stuff mus share.. bad stuff also mus share.. haha...
