TODAY HACK!!! He still maintains that he is able to finish. But I think he'll only be able to finish all the main stuff ... as long as those are ok, we can move in we will. Then he can still come in to do all the smaller stuff.

YES TODAY STARTED!! Actually was very happy and excited today.. but something really marred the experience today. Later then I elaborate. For now, pictures first!

Some Hacking was done then they break for lunch!! The worker so clever le.. took my stool sit in the bedroom and hack. haha

After talking to contractor and hackers, then we went shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our toilet bowl (it's part of a package - toilet bowl+basin)

We picked this one cos it's a one-piece toilet bowl. Parents insisted cos they say two piece one... they used to have and will leak. So one-piece *safer*

But we got ours in white la.

That toilet bowl + this basin for common toilet = $299

That Toilet bowl + this basin for MBR = $359

Then we got two of those black instant heaters for $340, inclusive of the shower thingy.

Then this tap is for common toilet. MBR toilet we using another one. A new one we have at home.

Then we didn't like the kitchen sinks in this place so we went to another place further down...

Got this sink + the basket for $238.... We did go to Hoe Kee and see but didn't see any we like. heh.

Finally the expensive buy of the day...

An Ariston black tempered glass hob for $549.

WHOA today spend a lot of money STRESS.

Now let me tell you about the people we bought from...
