Hi, you've got mail! btw do you stay at this area as well? Happy hunting!

Hihi!! Its been a really busy month for me... i have just shifted over the weekend and now my house is in a mess... need another week or two before I can upload some decent pics.. !! I mus say that i am very satisfied with my new home despite a lil bit of delay ... yes my painter is Ah Guan, nice chap.. some of the wall are actually uneven if u look closer under the light, its nothing to do with the painting skills but rather its an artwork by the HDB contractors ) How abt u? stay tuned for more pics..

Hi! I am back! Have been real busy with my studies and no time to upload.. anyway my reno progress is also a bit slow... here's the progress so far... a) Aircon up b) False ceiling up c) Painting just completed... And here is the result... in night mode.. Living Room Master Bedroom 2nd Bedroom 3rd Bedroom Hopefully by next weekend will have cabinets to show

Hi teogb, you've got mail! and happy open house soon!! Hi happy, yap i've got a U shape kitchen.....hope it looks good... can be a lil' crampy...

UPdates! Master Bath overlaid... Looks good to me... Washing Machine base.. Kitchen base....

What's your budget? R u rushing to move? If not i think you have ample time to make a shrewd decision... but of cos it also depends on your level of fussiness with the works.. sometimes things can never be perfect lor... we will be doing a L-shape walk-in wardrobe at the corner, complete with a sliding door.. some pple do without it and put string curtains.... as for the area at the air-con ledge, we made sure that the cabinets inside are roller-driven or rather, "removable" so that if servicng is required for the air-con unit, we are able to access... more pic to upload .. stay tuned.. jus too bad... but not to worry... lets hope Gina perform wonders at my unit and you be the first to be invited!

NOt a problem especially since we are neighbours and have the same layout, my quote will be more relevant and of use to you... having been in the same position before, i understand the anxiety of having to choose an ID for your long-awaited home... urmm... actually my reno cost is about $24k to $26k...(still subject to changes) not sure if this is the median range or hi range... i have been asking quotes from "highfliers" such as Unimax, Cissern, ***** etc, but find that they all hover around the $'30K mark and their design and concept seems to be similar... and in my opinion "common" (no offence intended here) I was about to give up and sign up with one of them when i happen to chance upon a completed unit at my opp block. The ID happen to be inside and I went in for a sneak preview and viola! it just caught me, esp the unique carpentry they use.. pardon me but i've never seen those anywhere before... maybe i suaku.. I dunno wat came over me and my wife and we even gave up our $500 deposit with XXX... Pls dun ask me to explain... i jus cant.. call it intuition... or gong tao?

Hi Happy, we have the same ID - Classic Design! Tat's how you got into my unit tat day... Hi Eternity, pls give me sometime as I need to scan our quote in my office... !! Hi Alexter, thanks i also hope the end product is like condo! fingers-crossed - we had quite a bit of unique carpentry going on and we hope the carpenters can pull a good one, quite worried about the schedule as we have been held back at least one week plus due to permit for hacking the wall.

My ID quote me about $500+/- for replacing the living hall tiles with pebbles wash My total renovation cost about $27K, if you are interested in viewing the detailed quote, please provide me with your email address.

Hihi... yup, it should be a suspended vanity with cabinet, complete with a procelein wash hand basin.... stay tuned.. Hi eternity .. which block r u at? renovated? now we are rushing for Qing Ming, which is roughly near end of Mar 08, die die must move in!

Let the FUN begin! Not for the Faint - Hearted The Fall of Berlin Wall Not a bad job eh... Ali Baba in - the case of the missin' basin..

Thanks apple.. everythin is ok except for the yellow flooring but we are overlaying it... hopefully our toilet looks nice after tat... Here s more views.. Master Bath Master Room - WIW corner Main Entrance Flooring - to be hacked (for itchy backside pple only)

Well, let me try to recall the journey thru the 4 years.. a) end 2003 - HDB invitation (BTO) b) early 2004 - BTO greenlight c) betw 2004 to 2007 - construction + poor economy + white elephants + fatal site accidents d) Feb 2008 - keys collection And yes thats 4 long years for me man! If you would observe next ime you visit our area, do not be surprised if you notice many residents with necks longer than usual!
