  1. Random Update. Here's some random update, been busy doing cleaning as will be moving in this sunday. Even though renovation is completed, still got a lot of last minute stuffs to buy, like toiletries, household items and they easily comes up to a few hundred dollars or even thousand which I did not cater for it to be so much, so my reserve tank is really empty now. When u buy a pillow, do you buy a pillow protector? If yes, you probably will buy a bolster protector too, that's where all the money add up. Bought my Panasonic Fridge NR-BL347P for the depth of 611mm and it flush nicely into the space I planned for it. Can see how the fridge flush in. So far fridge very cold except lights quite dim, but overall happy with the depth and height for this purchase. You can also see my Panasonic Washer NA-140VG4 which is 10KG load and bought at $990 with free delivery and $150 NTUC voucher. Had my first wash and noise level is pretty good, I like the quick 15 min wash function as very convenient if only got few pieces to wash. Tower rack for bathroom from Ikea. Just wanted to buy the ENUDDEN Wall Shelf with 4 knobs which Msbunny bought from her blog, but this item Ikea always no stock. So bought this one as no advice when the next shipment will be in. The toilet paper dispenser is from Otto and I bought it for the reason to be able to put my handphone on it when going into the bathroom, how many of you have this habit too? Took a aerial shot of my bathroom. Yet to clean it properly after the reno. Too much to clean, 4 walls and even the false ceiling vent also must clean as it is very dirty. Finally installed my Philips Hue Lightstripe into my living room cabinet. Which is the same as my platform bed, both controllable by Apps or Philips Hue Tap. Had my old Ikea 1 meter Mirrored Door wardrobe moved from old house to new house. Those mirror door from Ikea, so bloody heavy. My Sitoca Cad/Cam computer table and Ikea Wall Shelf. As I have no Feature Wall and TV console, this will be my daily entertainment instead of a TV. I have DVB-C tuner in my computer to watch free to air digital tv over cable point from the wall and I can download all movies and drama from the net so there is no need for TV for me. Another view of the computer table, some fellow renotalker might find it familiar as they visited my place. I sat down on it for the first time for my meal yesterday and happen to see outside my window, then I realized the view was very nice, especially from my rattan chair, the height from it just provide me a very good view through the lowest window panel. No wonder they commented my view is superb, they experienced it before me. More updates soon.
  2. You are most welcome and thanks for the compliment. Spend a lot of time to design my bathroom due to those weird plastic cover, also very hard to make the ID understand what I want to achieve like cannot same frequency with me. I am happy with the final product although it is quite costly. The rattan chair you can get from Chun Mee Lee. Should you have further question related to my renovation you can ask in my tblog. I hope this visit helps you in your upcoming renovation. Oh must change the shower head from HDB to rainshower, you won't regret it.
  3. Hello, my house is just 10 minutes away from yours and you are invited to visit my almost completed 2 room BTO to make this event more interesting. As I am working and couldn't be there, my wife agreed to be the host. She said she will join you at CCK then view empty unit then can proceed to my house for those interested. You can read about my renovation at my tblog. Feel free to take photo and hope this visit is fruitful for your renovation journey. coolbunny please contact my wife for the meeting at CCK.
  4. Final Stage Approaching the final stage of my renovation. Mostly minor touch-up and finishing touch. Redoing/extending my wooden skirting to blend the Besglas wardrobe to look like built into the wall. The missing skirting part is the new partition board wall for the wardrobe. A 40cm width mirror will hang on this partition wall. Got my ID to modify this carpentry as it is too long and pointy. Got it shorter and cut off the pointy angle. Lesson learned about carpentry, never have pointy angle around common walk path. Many wrote to HDB to complaint the strong wind is slamming this toilet windows as hinges too loose not enough strength. So BSC came to install this old school hinges to lock the windows in place complimentary of HDB. But the protruding tip of this metal rod might be poking my windows blind. Windows blind is installed so that I can keep my big toilet window opened while showering. Without this, everytime showering must close windows, then open after showering otherwise no airflow in the toilet. I combined views from both entrance into one picture. Black out vertical blind installed in bedroom. Light Grey. At first wanted venetian blind but gave up as 3x the price of vertical, also hard to open windows as mine is push out and not sliding. Must lift up venetian everytime just to open windows doesn't make sense. Thru the gap of venetian too narrow. Non black out vertical blind in living room. Mint colour. And why not a curtain, because the first time when I view the house before I purchase, the wind is so strong that even the curtain will be blow up, and I have a ceiling fan within curtain reach, so very potential danger of curtain caught in the ceiling fan due to my small house. Bedroom window's view, unblocked view so strong wind is possible if wind direction is in favour of my windows direction. Seems to be seasonal as no wind during june to oct, now nov start getting windy. Stick my camera out of windows and shot this. Happy with my view until I just saw the SOBF Nov 2015, my same unit but on the 28 Floor is opened for sale. Was thinking how I wish I could have gotten that unit on my upper floor now I only half of that. Just bad timing. Anyway I should be thankful I balloted queue no.2. for SOBF exercise. Ikea bed 2 x single 90x200cm. As not many 200cm single mattress out there, this fit my budget well too, cannot afford a few thousand dollars mattress anymore, exhausted my reserve after all the purchase already. In the background is my hanging mirror and wall shelf also from Ikea. Washing machine and fridge coming this week too and then my ID gonna hang up my wall photo and fixture then I got to pay the final amount to ID. Will move in next weekend.
