Our Journey Together

Recommended Posts

Introduction

I have been living in Havelock most part of my life. It is with a little sadness that I have to leave this place I have grown acustomed with. However, the good news is that I will be moving to somewhere nearby and maybe even slighly more convenient. Moreover, I will be building this new nest with the person I'm going to spend the rest of my life with. :notti:

Our new home will be a humble 3-room flat at Jalan Membina. We actually started sourcing for IDs way back in July last year, hoping that we will get our keys in early Q4 07. Thereafter, many weekends were spent meeting IDs, shopping for furnitures, lightings, electrical appliances etc. Q4 07 came and gone and there were still no news of our keys. :D Finally, on the 10 Jan 08, we got the keys to our dream home. :notti:

As it was only weeks from CNY, we decided to start our reno only after CNY. It was a good decision, as we have time to inspect the house in detail and let HDB rectify all the defects. We were lucky that there wasn't many. So on the 19 Feb 08, our reno officially started. :P

OK, enough of words. May I present to you some pictures of our new but not completed home.

The Beginning

It started from this way back in 2003 ....

SERS is always a good thing. :P You can choose the new unit from the existing pool of other new units and you may/may not need to even top up if it's at the lower floors. :deal: My in-laws unit also got SERS, so we have another batch of reno after ours in abt 2-3 yrs time. :lol:

New flat at no cost. Whoot! :dancingqueen::notti:

Hi crazycar,

Nice & modern 3D designs you have :P . Can tell you also go for the black, grey & white theme :notti:

Btw, may I noe if your aircon trucking comes after/before wetworks? My reno is scheduled to start on 3Mar.

Ist on the schedule is electrical works follow by aircon. On the other hand, was told by the aircon vendor that wet works must be done first b4 aircon trucking. We are kinda confused and :dancingqueen: who's right .

Thanks

Keropi
