i dunno whether got cheat me on the paint lah. But they left the unfinished paint in my house and i checked that and all the colours i asked for are there lah. But the other day ah keong touching up the grey wall and we found that the grey like different shade like dat. In the end ah keong painted the entire wall to ensure uniformity.

As for the partion bulging out at the floor there, i think i close 1 eye le. Now also do skirting there liao so it's halfway camouflage also. The rest ah, uncle die die must do swee swee. But seriously lah, i got not much time left to wait le. VERY impatient to move in liao...
