According to my ID, there should be a minimum height of 1m from bottom edge of window opening to top of platform. That was what I was told during my reno back in 2015... Not sure if this rule still stands now tho. That swivel TV wall should be at least 2.5k and up. Wiring first to determine electrical points. Then comes lights, fans and AC.

Costly but money well spent, imo! Echoing mmoh, thank you so much for letting us come by! Jenny was great to talk to and you guys have a lovely home!

LOL @mmoh. You made me feel so guilty for slacking! Thanks for remembering Bailey @kyooko! Her condition fluctuates. It improves when she gets a steroids jab but it only lasts for 2-3 weeks and is not an ideal long-term solution. Still hoping she can do without that but we've already given her the jab twice so far... I'm a little worried for her which is why I'm on leave half of next week to keep her company at our new home. I bought way too much furniture and now I'm trying to get rid of it haha. Should have listened to my mum (but don't tell her I said that! Lol) @Wild Ginger, it's a bit hard to describe my sofa... It's a sofa bed and it's kinda colourful lol. There's green, blues and greys. It's a solid sofa bed so it's pretty chunky. I need to get rid of ALL the other seating I got cuz I underestimated the physical size. My favourite area in the house (besides the kitchen) is the foyer aka the cat suite cuz it's the least cluttered haha! And other random things I've been sticking on my walls... Sneak preview lol.

Facing that 'small space' problem right now! My new sofa swallows up half of my living room. My place is looking tinier and tinier... In other news, my cat and I are moving in this weekend and spending the next 3 days lazing at home!

Have! Not sure if I got the link right, try this: https://picasaweb.google.com/109023660144562578375/DropBox?authkey=Gv1sRgCJyH1K7cs4qo1gE There are like 2/3 sizes too.

Where does that little path in the kitchen on the left of the laundry poles lead to, @mmoh? As for window grilles, as long as you keep your windows secured when you're out, it should be fine...I think? My neighbour can look into my bedroom from his kitchen - directly at my bed since I'll be sleeping facing that window - even better right? Luckily for me, my previous owner already put some kinda awning for privacy hee. If you're thinking of saving cost, can consider getting those big bamboo blinds from Daiso - waterproof and still can let air in.

Can't wait to see those pics @mmoh! Congrats!

Hahaha. So busy packing and arranging (and what-nots) that I don't have time to properly update ahhhh. I'm at my place every night after work and on weekends doing one thing or another. Everytime something happens, I tell myself I need to blog about this and then when I get home (parents' place) at close to midnight, Grandpa Zhou is already there waiting for me lol.

Hi everyone! Long time no chat! Haha. Been a mad couple of weeks for me... (If anyone is wondering, no, I've not moved into my place yet! Lol) I couldn't meet my own 'deadline' cuz of the sheer amount of work that's involved in moving. Didn't realise I had that much clothes. Or books. Or things hahaha. My new deadline is mid November now... Anyways! Congrats @mmoh! Finally gonna get your own little space! Can't wait to see more of it hee.

Izzit me or is the ceiling for the unit in the video a bit low? Felt a bit claustrophobic watching it... @paulinepoh, it's in Upper Bukit Timah.

I took out the grilles. Hate it lol. And as @BunniBoi mentioned, a lot less cleaning. If I decide to change my windows in the future (and install grilles), I'll go for the horizontal or vertical only ones. Much easier to wipe - the grid ones are terrible!

Just found out yesterday that acid wash (ie. chemical cleaning) is done right after wet works is completed. ID said if acid wash is done at the end, the tiles would come out lol. So the final round of cleaning after reno is actually just regular cleaning haha. Paiseh, gave wrong info previously.

Mine's on the 10th, which is the highest floor. I like it for the fact that my clothes will no longer be dripped on from the folks above me (my parents are on the 4th). But my ID told me the highest floor can get pretty warm.

Wow, schedule so packed! You'll have to leave days for household chores in the future when you get your own place in 2018! Wah, really a lot of light... But looks like quite a low level unit to me? What's everyone's take on this? Do y'all prefer higher/lower floors? Good leh... With the bomb shelter door near the kitchen, means you can also store dry food stuff and kitchen appliances in there, no need all squeeze into the already small kitchen.

Excellent choice of raised platform tile @andotang!
