You using parquet for your MBR? =) Let me guess, is your unit 180? hehe.

Hi crazycar, can you give me royal franco's number? wanna call Henry but i left his number / invoice in the new house. haha.

Hi crazycar / lovey, how much did you get your bed frame for? think it's nice!

Cornices were completed yesterday. After this would be painting, cleaning, installation of carpentry works. Bought our FIRST light yesterday. Haha. Foyer light. It's those..made of sea shell hanging kind.. hmmm.. Would take some pictures this weekend and post. Decided that we'll prob buy the tiffany light from our ID for our Dining area. Have collected our ceiling fan from Royal Franco as well. Saw one chandelier that we really really really like from Sitic Lighting in Balestier. Thinking of putting it in the MBR. Then hubby suggested buying basketball hanging light and football hanging light for the other 2 rooms. for the room with the football, it should be painted green, then for the one with the basketball, should be painted light yellow. Think the idea is quite nice, but i think those 2 lights are like.. not very bright, and the football esp looks really heavy, and i can't imagine my kids sleeping underneath that light. i feel it's really quite dangerous. For kitchen and toilet, will use those simple and bright lights. Think am going to spend more than 1k on lights. So sian.

You look so huge then for less than a month old! The method i heard for getting thicker eyebrows is to shave the eyebrow bare lor.. then let it grow again. i think it should be effective, but i dont dare to try it on my kids. hahah. my mother in law applied Martell on my youngest gal's scalp after we shaved her head botak..but up till now like..dun have much hair still leh..then her hair is very very fine.

My husband is from mayflower as well! think he grad 1995.

Yup, i'm ok with 15 March. thanks!

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!!!

your feature wall looks very cool!

hehe. binz, thought this really sounds funny "Simpleboi, but just in case they only got hammer and no saw, then u will be fine!" think mabbe i'll consider installing cctv, like cindy's place... unless the robber is those..super professional one..think cctv shld scare him away (hopefully)

Hello all Check with you.. on our kitchen wall which is also the circuit board wall, there is the on/off switch, tv cable, and 2 3 point plug switches. For those putting your fridge on that side, do you make use of both the 3 point switches? Hi Kriegs saw from your signature that you r using creations from the heart for your Kitchen carpentry! You're doing a country kitchen as well?

Hello, welcome! How's your reno? hello nemofc, havent bought my lightings yet but dropped by Chan Huat and Thomson Lighting some time ago. Think Chan Huat has a wonderful variety! And the price seems quite negotiable. Haha. The guy that served us was very nice and patient, and gave quite good suggestions. For Thomson lighting, if i nv remember wrongly, the final price given is always a percentage off the pricetag..almost the same throughout, then after that, even after negotiating, it's still the same. service is also quite ok la, but definitely chan huat has more variety. then cos we might prob be getting our cuckoo clock from chan huat, we might just get our lights there to get a better deal overall ba.

Thanks! you heard any comments about austscreen? price difference really quite alot. is there really a significant difference in quality?

Welcome back Cindy! Ya, agree that the handphone reception is bad! when i was at my corridor i had to find a 'correct place' else the reception would be gone, and i cannot move away from that place. jialat. anyway, my living room tiles are done! woohoo!

Hello all have got some qns to ask regarding shower screens.. how much did you get yours for? My ID quoted me 625, which i think is super ex, but she told me it's because her supplier is a "shower screen" company (not a glass company), and they r from australia, so their shower screen is very durable. then i got a number from the internet selling shower screens that are imported from aust, true enough, the price is about there. but i got a number from the straits time classified, the shower screen is 325, but i nv ask how many mm and made from where la... Do you all have any suggestions on which i should take? Really in a dillemma cos ive got kids and im really worried that if the quality is not good and the glass shatters, it 'll be very dangerous. on the other hand, the aust one is double the price! hai.

hahaha! i was laughing when i saw your reply. Cos i realise it's my typo error!!! I switched off the lights cos my gal was going to fall aslp, then i just typed without looking! Actually meant reception. hahahahaha.

Renovation has officially started. Went to my new place just now to have a look, but cannot step inside, cos the sand / cement is not totally dry yet. Some of the electrical points have been shifted as well. Getting excited! This morning, when i was in office, my ID called me a few times, saying that we wld have to do a base for our washing machine and dryer, and she'll try to increase the height of the other side of the cabinet so that they will have the same height. Keep thinking about what applefreak said... asked hubby if we should just set aside a space for the washing machine and dryer and just stack them up, but well, failed. haha. but i can understand his concerns also la.. he said he hopes that we can have more table top to work with, and he thinks that the current layout is nice... .... so confusing. so scared it'll be a decision we'll live to regret. hahah. Then just now i was so stupid at the new house. My ID was telling me the door lock pin over the phone, and i repeated the pin ALOUD to her cos the reception was bad so i was afraid she couldnt hear and confirm. Then she was laughing at me. hai. prob wouldnt go down to the new house till next sat, hopefully, the tiles would have been laid by then. and ya, when do i need the lights? i havent bought my lights. die. think might have to make a trip down to JB again this weekend.

Thanks for your information! Where's gilman village? as in, where is it near? Exciting! Looking forward to your pictures! =)

Renovation has officially started! haha! went to my place just now but couldnt step in cause they just laid the duno isit sand or cement, or a mixture of both. haha. and i agree with Cindy that the recemotuib sux! Was trying to speak to my ID on the phone but the line kept getting cut off, then must find "correct" location to stand for the reception. Hello Elaine, oh no... what exactly happened? Is your ID going to help you "fight"?

Hello all Cement screed was done on the 12th Jan. And sad to say, our tiles went out of stock. our ID told us that she reserved the tiles for a week, but cos we could only start our reno after 2-3 weeks, Soon Bee Huat let go the tiles to someone else. Sigh. Somehow, i was abit suspicious, cos both hb and i weren't informed about this reservation for a week. but well, doesnt matter la. anyway, we accepted the fact the dwelling over this wouldnt be beneficial for us. so we've selected new tiles and confirmed with our ID today. from the creamy woody tiles, to the brownish woody tiles. hb said we might have to change the colour of our shoe cabinet and dining bench cos of this change in tile colour. i really hope the overall effect will turn out to be ok, cos both my living room tiles, and my bedrooms laminates are brown in colour, but they are different shades of brown. anyway, went to a friend's house today. her house is very nicely done up, and she was advicing me to do whatever necessary carpentry work, ceiling works, floor works, toilet works i need to do for my house now, else it would be very troublesome to do it in future. there comes my excuse to think abt more carpentry to do, more things to buy. 1. TV console for bedroom. after many discussions with our aircon guy, our aircon trunking will still go thru the "TV console side" of the bedroom. the aircon trunking will be on the bottom. am now thinking of custom making one or two shelves to be placed on top, or on top and below (for 2 shelves) the air con trunking. think that shouldnt be too ex? (hopefully) and it'll sort of hide our trunkings and can be our display / tv shelf. can actually buy this off the shelf, but i was thinking of having the edge nearer the door 'rounded', so that when my kids dash in and out of the room, it'll be..safer for them. 2. my toilet bowls and sinks. i actually really want to have a vanity top with cabinets below. think it's more..hmm..practical and it looks very nice as well. but this is not something that i cannot live without kind. haha. 3. custom made cabinets / storage bench at foyer area. 4. kitchen door. Hai. Headache. Anyway, our tiles and laminates are going to be delivered to our house tomorrow, so i'll prob go hv a look after work...see how... hopefully all will be well.

Hi Msbean, i answer for YG. hhahaha. cos i asked him that qn b4 also. see above. hehe.
