PHILIPS CARNIVAL SALE TODAY AND TOMORROW YOU KNOW!! kekeke.. bought a cordless DECT phone, LCD tv and 160gb HDD recorder today.. broke liao. the HDD recorder only $349!! and the cordless phones were snapped up like hotcakes! it was crazy! ROM 13th Sept.. finally managed to get a dress yesterday from Allure. Another load of my mind. *phew* no la.. FH wanna move in on ROM day, he said ROM already then still stay in own house separately like so weird. but since carpentry cannot finish in time, then we also cannot do anything. haha.. sleep on floor lor! gotta go paint house tml.. hopefully can finish the ceiling. ohoh, Poh Joo has 2 branches izzit? Which one has more stuff? Just remembered we haven gotten our towel bars, toilet roll holders etc! *fret*

we bought all the furniture, toilet stuff ourselves.. din really do much research.. just see, friends and parents used before, no complains, we like, ok buy. lol i like black & grey too! easy to match.. the big base objects use these colors, then can use bright colored accessories to brighten up the place... bad news.. seems like my reno's not going to be completed in time for my rom this thurs. carpentry cannot finish in time. sighz. and even badder news.. I HAVEN GOTTEN MY ROM DRESS!! where did you girls get yours?

minfaith.. PIX! PIX! yea.. my living room tiles not done yet. should be starting this week. so they dun damage the tiles walking in and out.. kekeke.. i'm not using an ID, friend's father's helping us oversee the reno. it was his idea to move the kitchen entrance!

photoshop.

went over to do some painting on friday.. and first look at the house.. light boxes are up.. some of the lights are up.. applying the sealant and fixing up the lights. the kitchen top.. with the tiles just placed on, not yet cemented.. and the gas pipe.. that was fixed up yesterday.. our lovely kitchen top is up! LIKE SHIOK! it took 5 guys to put the top in place, and everyone had smiles on their faces when they were done putting the slabs up. *shiok* and in the midst of all the moving and painting, our rinnai hob and hood arrived.. with a free gift! the guys got the toilet vanity top and the shower kerb up as well.. and painting the ceiling is no joke. no joke at all.. so.. the contractor sez he will start the floor tiles this coming week.. by the end of the week, the floors should all be done. and we can start painting before the carpentry start coming in.

hi minfaith, congrats on your new house! actually, after shifting the kitchen door, i find the kitchen, just nice. not too small. you didn't shift the kitchen door? as for your wall hacking.. i'm not sure. did you get an ID or everything you DIY? maybe can overlay the tiles?

time to buy fridge, hob, hood, washing machine liao. what brands do you guys recommend? We're thinking of rinnai hob n hood.. LG fridge.. washing machine, totally no idea. lol recommendations?

omg.. they dug this pile of debris out from the drainage thingy in the toilets! fainted. on a happier note, the tiling in both toilets is done! and i have a wheelbarrel in my house!! and this is how the place looks like now.. piles and piles of sand everywhere! they sealed up the original kitchen door today.. and were making good the hacked edges when i left. The tiles for the rest of the house all delivered already. My toilet stuff also came today.. YAY!

WA!! your reno like moving VERY FAST! so good!! oh, my hacking approval only took 2 days, didn't have to chase them for it. In fact, it was my TO that was asking us how come we haven submitted our hacking proposal!! my contractor grumbling cause the hdb pple in the house, not safe to deliver the household items.. cos dunno who are the hdb pple, my TO also said the same thing, better not deliver when the hdb guys are around. he dun want to have conflicts. And because HDB haven't finish tiling the toilets, my contractor cannot start tiling the floors. Already got my hacking done, wiring and aircon piping up last week.. dunno what else is up this week.. I will find out tomorrow!

so good!! almost 75% done already? sighz.. my contractor called FH yesterday, he complained the HDB guys very slow! Still haven't tiled finish the toilet! I'm going to faint now. Tml my toilet stuff will be arriving.. so going over to take a look @ the slow progress of the tiling.. and wait for the bowls to come. *fingers crossed at least 1 toilet is done*

got my furniture from the furniture exhibition.. packaged deal from home2be. dining table, 4 chairs, sofa, ottoman, tv console, coffee table i can't rem how much exactly.. i think.. about 3.5k?

WAA!! so many things halfway through already!! So fast bring in your TVs and stuff? Wait disappear how? *touch wood* yea, concept/theme = as simple as possible! haha.. we already bought the most of the furniture.. waiting to be delivered.. left the electronics haven buy..

can't start the construction works yet i think, HDB not out of my toilet yet.. still got tiling! argh.. but good news is.. my TO just informed us couple of minutes ago, that his contractor said perhaps can start tiling today! *fingers crossed* initial plan was to hack away the study, but slight change of plans, we left behind a bit of the wall, so we can do a cozy area or something like that on the other side of the dining room (previously known as the study room). hope it turns out ok. smoochies.. how's ur reno coming along? shld be done already right? PIX!!

ok.. so my toilet tiles are all gone.. my own contractor had to chase the HDB's contractor to remove the last 2 rows of tiles.. cos the hdb guys claimed their boss din ask them to hack!! like huh?! and the hdb tiles have not arrived.. expected to deliver wed/thurs. hopefully by the coming weekend, the 2 toilets will be fully tiled. that's the aircon piping hole.. and the study room wall is gone, the new kitchen door all hacked out.. the existing kitchen door yet to be bricked up.. the electrical wiring should be almost done.. so exciting, every week see new stuff in the house. sidetrack, I called citygas to check out their gas heater, how are the charges like.. etc etc. and the guy that answered.. didn't know enough to save his job man! lol he told me to call again on monday. i asked if 1 gas heater was sufficient for 2 bathrooms, he paused for a while, then he said, 'ya, i think, 1 shld be enough for a bathroom' i faint. i think i call again on monday better.. i think he's just there to man the 24hrs hotline.. what to do in case of gas leaks..

hmm.. is the gas heater any good? then can save up on 1 heater.. and just buy 1 instead of 2! kekeke what's the difference between gas heater and electric heater?

got free water heater? which gas companies you guys using ar? another question, anyone of you using kitchen taps with extendable hose and pull-out spray head? Is it good? like this or this both images from http://www.alarisavenue.co.uk/acatalog/Ala...732.html#a12791 wondering if its durable.. cos the pipe.. pull in pull out.. dunno will wear and tear or something.. oh! and soft closing toilet covers? anyone of you using those? heard that some after a while, it doesn't soft close anymore. anyone knows?

i fainted.. red and white?! FH will double faint! hahahah! qns: do you guys use cylinder gas or piped gas? and why?

jamez, lol.. okok.. not enough budget to change the kitchen tiles ah! so leaving it as the original pinkish ones.. maybe can cover the non cabinet wall with mirror! OH YEA!

u mean for premium flats, u pay extra and u dun get to pick the tiles for the contractor to lay? then if the tiles you don't like.. and hdb don't let you change.. then can bang wall already..

HDB progress .. went over to check the place out yesterday, as well as measure the toilet bowl outlet for our new toilet bowls. Anyone got any idea how come got different sizes? anyway.. they took out the toilet bowls and sinks. Like still in good condition, except for all those tape markings.. throw away like wasted.. can trade in toilet bowls and sinks? lol the wall tiles partially out.. the floor tiles all out.. and new switches!! telephone outlet changed as well, only left the scv outlet never change. Also my contractor went in to fill up the prefab lines.. every thing's moving along now..

OOOZ! black n white kitchen! nice! can see the reflection of the wall tiles on the laminates.. nice.. confirm chop can use this laminate already. you have grey tiles.. but your kitchen doesn't look dark at all.. i didn't remove my service yard windows and doors, so at current my kitchen looks a little dark.. so a bit scared to use dark colored floor tiles.

premium flat don't get to choose tiles?
