Hehehe, I guess it's best to let ur hubby tell them no. I always tell my hb things that I don't like/unhappy with and let him settle with his parents. Sometimes it just sound better coming from him than me. Hehehe.. Alamak! Hahaha.. I hope that ur hb will listen to your ideas as it's ur house too. hehehe.. Will you be letting ur kids decide the stuff for their room?

Mrspiglet! Any pics of ur purchases to show us? We wana see your tiles selections!

Heheh, Icic. No wonder he's able to give such good priced quotes to customers. I think mrspiglet must be busy searching for her housing stuff now.

Oooo... I bought HOBZ package as well. Hehehe.. The hob, hood and oven. There are a few other forumners who bought this, and they say so far so good. Hope that it'll be good for us too. Maybe you also wana check with rondy on where he got his hob/hood/oven. I remember that he got his package very very cheap!

CONGRATES! Hehehe.. U got ur contractor liao, and can start work next Tuesday! Handover in 3 weeks?! That'll be like slightly earlier than mine! Ah Soon is very very fast!

Nice hor? If my bonus is super good, maybe I'll think about it. If I buy now....... hubby --> <--- me Thanks! We were wondering if we should buy, as we have decided on a "kopitiam" theme for our dining room. Guess we'll need to think of a new one to suit our dining table.

Wah seh.. U really tempting me man! But it's still too X, and my hubby will nag at me forever if I buy that! Pinkpetter: this one loh. Love it so much, but it's SOOO X!

Busy Busy Day 29 more days to go before shifting day, if everything goes well. We're slowly starting to feel the pressure, and the shortening timeline. Our wallets and pockets are getting lighter as days goes by, and today is no exception. Another no exception is blur me forgetting to take pics of the stuff we bought. I'll try to upload whatever I have/can. *Sorry pinkpetter & ponytail* Stainless steel baskets We went to Jalan Besar to search for our kitchen cabinets wire baskets. In the end, we bought them at Hoe Kee (IMM branch though, as the Jalan Besar one does not have the items we want in stock). 2 of these will be for us to put our crockery. We bought a spice rack as well, but there's no pic. We'll be passing them to our contractor to measure and include into our carpentry. Total: $290 Poh Joo We also went to Poh Joo to buy the WC/basin/handspray for our wash area, 2 mirrors for common toilet & PIL's room, 4 s/s triangle baskets to put toiletries in shower area. Total: $473 Furniture Club @ IFC Decided on our fabric (it'll be dark cream in colour), changed our tv console model (at no extra charge ), and confirmed our sofa setting. Date of delivery: 23 March Picket & Rail @ IFC While we were at IFC, we passed by P&R and found a gorgeous dining set. My hb wanted to buy a marble top table at first, but was won over by the good buy. During normal days, we will collapse the expandable part and put the 6 chairs around it. We'll put the bench at either our foyer or balcony. When there are guests, we'll expand the table into the square size you see, and bring in the bench for extra seating. (My hp cable's at ofc, I'll upload the pics on Monday) If you take a look at this link, the total should be $2,187 for the dining table, 6 chairs and a storage bench. We got it for $1,529. Date of delivery: 23 March PS: Shkeat, was really happy to have "hunted" this bargain!

Say no no to shopping with ur parents in-law! They'll give many many weird ideas, and in the end, your home is not decorated to your liking. Ur kids are really cute!

Hee.. Icic. It would be great if you did full top cabinets above ur fridge and also beside your fridge. Now the top cabinet next to ur fridge is suspended rite? The top alignment if the cabinet above fridge and the cabinet beside fridge will be different. Think it'll look abit weird. IMHO.

All those stuff belongs to ONE person? Wao, tat will save quite a sum of $$. Hacking and tiling is very X.

Hehehe, packing very fast one lar. Throw those that don't wan, set aside those that wana donate and put into boxes for those that u wan. Haha, cool! It's not very easy to shop and source for good yet cheap stuff with kids in tow.

Very nice kitchen! A black and white theme makes it very easy to inject colourful accessories to liven up the place. Congrates on a beautiful done up home. Show us pics of ur place with the furnishing k?

Hee... Icic. I also think it's better to sleep in MBR, near the toilet. Hee... I'm looking forward to see pics of your pretty pink room! Have u decided on which pink already? Wah! It's next Saturday! Congrates congrates!

Ur reno is SUPER fast! Hehehehe... The place looks very bright and airy now.

Hee.. Thanks! I hope to see it soon too! Hehehe.. Yesterday met with my contractor and saw the drawing for the kitchen liao. Signz.. So small. The house quite big, but my favourite kitchen so small. Lot's of things cannot do or gota squeeze. Aniway, I chose a white counter top with little flecks (think it's cream or dark white colour) and tiny sparkles. Was so tired last nite (we discussed from 7pm - 10.30pm!) that I just chose the solid top within 5secs. But I think that one is very nice with the little sparkles, so hope that it'll turn out well bah. My current in-law's place uses black coloured granite. We always put hot pots etc on it, leave the pots/pans on it to dry. Everything ok. Best of all, the whole thing black black, can't see dust/dirt. How about the bottom cabinets to look like the top ones? That means red body and white doors as well? Think this combi will go very well with ur black granite top and black floors. Wah, crocodile skin design floor! Sure to look very interesting! Got sample/pic to show?

Awwww... Ur doggie is so cute! Hope that he'll have a speedy recovery and be as active as before.

Hi Pinklady, Hehe, yeah finally it's Friday! Tomorrow is shopping day, as we'll need to buy more toilet and kitchen stuff. We'll also be going to select our sofa's fabric!

Hehe, maybe expensive? Gota plaster the wall to smooth out the WI grills holes also woh. But yah, think it'll be nicer ur way.

Wah seh! Ur description of your future house... Sounds so good! 1st May sounds very long. But it'll be a good time to source for the items you'll like for your house.

Hee.. great to hear that u didn't regret doing the red. I'll be doing white top cabinets and also the body of the bottom cabinets. Only the bottom cabinets' doors are red. Not too sure if my description is understandable anot. hehehe.. It'll look kind of like mwerkz lovely kitchen. Haha! Buy a Hello Kitty toothbrush holder or sth like that loh. Can easily hide away when guests come.

Hahaha, think it's because I got lots of qns to ask u guys. That's why the blog is so long liao. Just went to look at ur kitchen again to . Very nice! And the floral designs at ur black laminate is nice nice also. Hee... Thanks for the encouragement! I've confirmed my laminate colours with my contractor liao, and will be taking warm white and red for the kitchen. Hope that everything goes well! The contractor told us that the reno progressed slightly slower for the past couple of days 'cuz he had to rush another house. Yesterday when we went back to see see, only the foyer skirting and MBR floor were completed. But contractor told us that they'll start on the electrical today! Next Tuesday will be air con piping installation and delivery of the sanitary and kitchen items. Hope that the lighting speed will continue! Hi BunBun! Hee.. I'm not a very pantang person. But sometimes it's a matter of u knowing sth, and yet still continue going ahead with it anot loh. Like a chinese saying goes, bu zhi ze wu zui (people who has no idea of what is going on, is innocent). But now I know, so wonder if should still go ahead with it anot loh. But in the end decided to go ahead with it, and hope for the best. After all, it's our first kitchen woh, and it'll be nice if we could love the design/colours! Harlow! I'm going for chili red. I wanted sth like pinklady's lovely red kitchen that deep red, but hb prefers bright red. Since I'm fine with bright red as well, I say ok loh. Yupz! Hope that red is good for us!

Wah... Ur kitchen is very nice de loh! I like the deep red too, but hb said that he prefers bright red. Hehehee.. And u got lots of little cute stuff like the placemats, tissue holder, etc. The cutest of cuz is ur little doggie!

Spam chop and congrates on ur new home! Wah, the place looks rather well kept! Nice! And 20th March is just 1 mth away. hehehehe... Very soon u'll get the keys liao.

Hee... U gave me ur num b4 liao. hehehe.. Yay.. I'll msg u to see when u available again bah. Then can also at ur house. Har? So now the house next to u is empty ah? Hehe, maybe waiting for quotations & confirming her reno. OH OH! That one that is right at the end of your block arh? I saw! And I find it so very happening! Hehehehe... If hot can sit in the sheltered side. If cooling can sit at the open air side! Very cool...
