Drawer mechanism feels like a cheap blum version! haha tried to slam but it stopped half way. o_o Best is no additional charges.

Master bedroom wardrobe. Oh no, the frame looks so greyish. Thought it is black. Hopefully will match with my black bedframe & dulux marina blue wall...

Finally got time to purchase yesterday :D

hubby was giving black face (tired from work) cos it took about 1 hour for me to confirm order and the sales lady to print out invoice. Didn't took photo of the actual item as I left my digicam in the car.

Initially wanted glass hob but due to limit choice of color, decided on this stainless steel hob to match with my hood & oven.

Can't wait to learn baking!!! Wondering if they got complimentary baking lessons or not that comes with the oven... Only 2 months to practise for my boy's 1st birthday!!!

Time for another update!! =) Was so surprised to receive call from Patrick that they were installing cabinets on Friday!!!

8 May 2010 : Work done on 6 - 8 May

Kitchen layout - hehe designed by me =D Adapting some of the western country's kitchen ideas - borrow from library. =)

1) all tiles as backsplash only, thus cutting cost and allow me to have more bottom cabinets. Rarely see the whole kitchen tiled up for western country's kitchen.

2) only hood area with top cabinets, same reason as 1)

3) hood & baking area is parallel instead of L shape due to L shape's pricing charges. I will black face if I am the contractor! haha!

Thank you!

Update

Today's delivery:

IKEA - kitchen shelves, some misc items that requires holes drilled.

The uncle that called my hp to inform me that they are at my doorstep was REALLY rude. As if I owed him a living... He said "You must come, if not I will put it as postpone" with a rude tone. We were late because we rush my boy to PD due to his high fever & my hp no batt. In the end the rude uncle left a okay uncle at our doorstep so that he could rush to another delivery.

The rude uncle claimed that he called but I did not receive any voice mail (without voice record). Meaning the uncle never call me till it goes to my voice mail?

Happiness - Turbo hob,hood,oven.

One of the uncle (fatter one) THROW my hob to the trolley... I saw it because just nice we were walking towards that direction. Hope it was not injured by the impact. Both uncles face was black & fierce...

Spotlight - Roller blinds x7 (Good service)

I had some mis-communication with the spotlight part-time sale assisstant but they allow me to change the size of my roller blind and pass cash ($6.40) to the delivery uncle.

Bennington - multi-point instant water heater & install (directly from Bennington company). Good service, he showed to us if the water heater was installed correctly & got hot water to double check.

lighting.com.sg - Lights & ceiling fans.

Their sub-contractor installed the lights & ceiling fans for us. Good service, the young man is hardworking. Rather finish the job then eat his lunch (2+pm to 3pm already). Also, he waited for us since 10:30am till 11:50am (we had to drop by somewhere else to get things done). When I reached there, the young man was assembling our ceiling fans. The other kor kor also very nice, help the young man to install so that they can finish the job and have their lunch together.

1 ceiling fan's blade got some problems (screw cannot be tighten). They will check with company and reschedule another day to fix it.

________________________________________

Only took 2 photos today before going for lunch at 12pm. Left light installer at my place to install.

Color:

Nippon Vinilex 5000 - Danube (light blue, grey tone)

Dulux All - Lilac White

Basically my whole house is consist of mainly these 2 shade of color. Except Zachary's room. A little special for the active boy.

Tuesday morning received some depressing news about our new flat. Decided to forget about it for now.

Here is an update:

Living room ceiling fan

Dining light

27746_395307526459_597656459_3981803_524

My son's room ceiling fan

27746_395307541459_597656459_3981804_287

Study room ceiling fan, 1 blade is faulty. Waiting for Fanco to change the blade.

27746_395307546459_597656459_3981805_779

Master bedroom ceiling fan - need to shift a bit, else will hit wardrobe door when it is on & we open wardrobe door...

Really pissed that my hubby says that he is ok if it is not shifted. He can dont open wardrobe when the fan is on blah blah blah. Wait till one day our wardrobe door flung out or something and hit Zachary. See how he regret.

Will it be better if the light point shift to middle of wardrobe?

pissed at hubby that he said it is ok again. really ugly... is it his house or someone else's? is he like this because I am the one handling the whole thing?

Painter said for those project thats not rush, he do for Patrick. But for rush one, someone else do.

Heard that someone's reno done by Patrick got a bad painter, not this uncle right? Nevertheless, being a perfectionist when comes to my house, will need to check every corner of the paint work.
