Was rummaging through our pile of past quotations, brochures etc...and came across these 2 sketches which I had been searching high and low for the past week...

Just a rough sketch which Ray did on the spot for us while we were going through some ideas for the kitchen and entrance to our igloo home...

Main entrance view

- right side would be the shoe / storage cabinets, behind that will be our "living & TV area"

- up front is the original living area, which is likely to be converted into a 'relaxation' sort of area, but we're still brainstorming on that as it is a pretty big area

- left side will be the original study room / current and future dinning area

Kitchen view

Actually I'm the hubby haha, and I'm living in Tamp. Gona shift to Cck 'cos that's where my in-laws are staying... suits our arrangement 'cos once my mom retires, moves in with us, we'll have both families within walking distance (3 blocks away only) of each other and will be able to look out for one and other, especially after the kids are born

Haha, always good to know that I'm (you're) not alone hehe.... I wouldn't put it that way "no choice" hee... gotta be 'sensitive' with our choice of words yea *wink wink* Initially I was reluctant, but I managed to convince myself that CCK is a fantastic area for 2 reasons, and 2 reasons only...

1) Floor space is HUGE compared to what I've been living with hee

2) The ever so tasty BBQ chicken wings, rojak @ Keat Hong and the yummy "5 xiang" @ the coffee shop located next to bus interchange (yes, i am a glutton, and my combined "6 packs" is living proof of it!

So which part of CCK ya gonna be moving to? Might just end up being neighbours

2 more days to our 1st appointment!!... and I could only manage to take half a day off that day... aRgh!...

feeling nervous...don't know what to expect for that day, and particularly worried that our agent will screw up again.... it'll take a complete numskull to not get this right, even by his crappy standards to date...

Wow ya still awake? hee thought the whole island be aslp by now, esp since its the all-dreaded Monday tomorrow...

Btw, may i ask, for the 1st appointment we'll only need to bring our ICs, birth certs, parents' ICs and marriage certificates (living close to in-laws grant)....

Usually the agents are holding on to the original resale applications forms etc? There shouldn't be any such forms etc on our end right?

Hehe, im a night owl..

Aiyo.. i remember bringing my payslips, birth cert etc...

the rest i cannot remember cuz its 2 yrs back.. and my is direct from HDB

Since your agent CMI (cannot make it), beta ask tat blur sotong for a checklist

so u can prepare 1st..

Already dropped him an SMS, he had better not get this wrong or there's no way in heaven and **** i'm gonna pay him the 1% comm for doing practically nothing other than showing us the unit..
