So here comes the bad part of research, after going thru so many posts here and other site i realise that there are so many problems with purchasing furniture i.e.: wrong quality delivered; color is wrong; leg is spoil etc etc and the lists goes on. i know that is 1 of the reason why we only make minimal deposit so that if in the end something goes wrong we won't get burn that hard but still getting burn is getting burn no matter is $1.00 or $1000 So that made me a little apprehensive especially when it comes to bulk purchase from places i do not know and boy places i do not know is really alot . I thought there were only so many furniture store in singapore and now the list is like never ending. So 1 fine day le CO was browsing thru facebook and saw this furniture store on discount and she was like "hey the sofa here seems to be like what we wanted why not we go take a look?", i was like "let me check their website first" So after going thru google, realise this furniture store(Kawah) doesn't have their own website only facebook and they are only establish since 2017(ACRA) which made me a little apprehensive. but afterwards i realise that they are in the same building as this store call Kawah Office furniture which have been pretty well establish with no actual bad review so i was like "maybe they are related since they are in the same building and have the exact same name, maybe the owner of Kawah office decides to venture into consumer furniture." So long story short we decided to go there and take a look and true enough, le CO was very happy with the sofa(after comparing and sitting in countless others elsewhere) and in the end we decide to buy it together with the dining table and coffee table(forget to take a picture of it) Total of 4200 made a deposit of 2000 - will talk more about them once i receive the goods and everything is settled Sofa(small cushion not included) Color we selected for the sofa Dining table which can be extended up to 1.8m Dining Chair x 6

Luckily me and my wife are the same personality(design wise) so for us to agree on the design we want for the house is pretty straightforward, hopefully it won't turn out to be a mess 1. No theme (unless straight line is a theme) 2. We have decided on the color to be Dulux Nova white(saw it on 1 of the RT post and we just love it) and light grey. Only thing is we have no idea how to make the 2 color go together - so we decided we are going to have the ID/Contractor we choose to mix the color for us. We will let our daughter decide on the color she want for the room. 3. No top cabinet in the Kitchen on the stove side 3. No curvy or weird edges everything has to be straight and clean and easy to maintain 4. Homo tiles for the living and kitchen + service yard + bathroom and HERF for the 3 bedroom So here is the mood board we have gathered so far. Kitchen Living room Bathroom - we will try to make it as identical to MBR as possible. Bedroom - Couldn't find a proper image with a full size L shape desk so have to use some other image as a place holder

Well HDB finally accepted my resale application and the expected completion date + extension requested by the owner means i will only be able to take the key sometime in Oct(4 months from now and counting!). However since now its GSS there is no harm in buying some new stuff for my new house First blood - Kitchen pots and pans plus some kitchen tools from WMF, bought from robinson about 1,300 after robinson dollar rebate. 7 piece gourmet plus cookware 7 piece kitchen tools 60 piece cultery tools - wife loves to have guests so doesn't hurt to be prepared Got these as a free gift from the promoter there.

So after almost a year of searching and browsing thru the forum now it is finally my turn to start my own blog. As for the title, well it was mainly because before i started looking for a house i really detest staying in that area and when i was there once i literally got lost(there was no LRT and bus weren't that well develop then) and couldn't get out of that area until i decided to take a cab, i told myself i would never buy any house around punggol or sengkang However after getting married and after countless months of debating we realise based on our conditions below this is the only area which really fits our bill 1. At least a 4 room with a budget not exceeding 500k(BTO is out of the questions as my wife is not citizen or PR) - Also i don't really like the idea of paying more for "renting" from the government 2. Has to be near the airport - both for work reason and me and my wife are frequent travellers so we don't really wanna have to travel far after coming back so west and north area is out. 3. Has to be near a school so that my child doesn't have to travel too far or preferably not need to take a bus to reach school. 4. There has to be nearby amenities (shopping center / supermarket / gym / train station) within 50 to 100 meters. 5. Has to be able to do open kitchen - CO insisted on it. 6. At least level 4 and above. And after browsing thru propertyguru and 99co we finally manage to find 1 which met all of our conditions and now after exercising our options here is the floor plan below!
