The Diary Of A Wimpy House Owner

So plant experts out there, what kind of plants should i get?

am no plant expert to recommend any plants to you...only know there is this wellknown plant (Dillenia suffructicosa) which most guys will be well versed with during our ns days...perhaps you may also wanna consider getting plants which will not attract any stinging insects...i believe bro neo should have better suggestions in this area too...

Psst... share a secret with you. I am tone deaf too. Attended 5 yrs of Yamaha Junior Music Class with 3 of my kids and still cant tell the difference between Do Mi So and Mi fa so. We actually need a manager. You are well traveled and connected so maybe can get us overseas gigs for a band with middle aged lead singer, under age keyboardist, amateur guitarist and drummer, tranglist who tings randomly, rusty erhu player and a tini recorder player.

Sorry patsy, the King Koi sale was ended on Monday, 2 Aug. Will let you know if there are other bedding sale.

hmmm good idea.. i'll be the manager... will deffo find good gigs, they may be in timbuktu, mind

your zoo, ermmm home is coming together really beautifully! can't wait to see the finished product

Love the outdoor bathtub! Super nice to soak under the big blue sky, sipping wine and reading a book.

But Singapore's weather is pretty freaky with rains and strong winds recently. Maybe having some bamboo blinds with pvc backing at the back of the treillis to allow enjoyment in bad weather. On good days the blinds can be pulled up for maximum view and enjoyment. Of course it will help to prevent the nosy neighbour peeping.

leechaorui : Will definitely consider the elephant climbers, suits my zoo theme.

joseeng : Dillenia suffructicosa is popular with bees i read...hmmm.. maybe not such a good idea in the bathroom, would not want to be swarmed by bees or stung at the wrong places..oucheeee

patsy : me cant wait for completion too. Hopefully, by end of this month. Timbuktu sounds exotic..I'm on.

samgalz : hi super sam, you bounced back real fast. My turn to feel under the weather. How's your housewarming? Me very shy, so need lots of dense foliage to hide from prying eyes. However, hubby is a closet exhibitionist, have advised him to bath when there is strong wind blowing and plants swaying....hehe.

zelly : actually hubby dont mind the peek-a-boos, will install chick blinds if neighbours cannot take it anymore and complain.

To everyone : An invitation to bathe outdoors, candles and bath salt provided, wines BYO.

If only walls can speak....

This feature wall at the staircase landing was painstakingly, skillfully and patiently done by one of the hardworking China workers over 2 days. It is cement made to look like bricks. He slowly carved out the rectangular shape one by one. ID was so impressed, she wants the rest of the feature brick walls to look like that.

Windows at the staircase landing to let in light and air.

Very very good job. If u dun say that it was hand-done, i would think that its grey bricks wall. :good:

Cant wait to see ur completed zoo aka home.

Harvey Norman sale @ Expo

Finally bought our TV for the living room. Panasonic TH-P50V20S, 50" plasma at the Expo Harvey Norman sale @ $2888 including delivery and wall mount installation. One more TV outstanding. We were looking at the Sony 32" LCD EX400 for our upstairs family room (already bought one for Dining area) but the staff @ HN refused to throw in a free wall mount bracket. So still waiting for a good deal since there is always a sale every weekend.

46" was also stated at $2499 at the expo but can bargain I supposed. We told them Mega offering THP50V20S @ $2899 including delivery. Well, they could match that price. Try speaking to the supervisor. Btw sale ends on Monday, 9 Aug.
