tot i told you to leave it barren instead? haha..

seems a lovely area to do bbq man

with a fridge like tat and that cool lighting there... i will be drinking from there too!

is really a neat set-up with very soothing colors. alas, why no build-in coffee machine?

that would balance up the cabinet with the cabinet above the fridge

my view la.. hee hee

eh, the drums... gee.. funny why i conjure up an image of 7th mth ke tai straight away la! can we "bieo" auspicious items there next time we're there?

next item, triangle with mouth piece..... anyone. 888!!! "sar tiao pieok!!!!" gum xia!

Dont want to do the desert theme lah..prefer the green green grass of home.

Hubby is the only coffee drinker in the house. Will probably get him a Nespresso as a present...shhh dont tell him ok.

Hey band members, we've gotten ourselves a ke tai compere. Dont worry will de-Beng him and train him to be more zany.

so buy him a socks will do. hahaha

Haha, i'm not sure if i can developed an obessive urge like you to be constantly cleaning the place repeatedly! Ok, i admit i'm lazy! Chances are i'm opting for a black counter top with white cabinets.

I'm still hoping to squeeze in an island within my smaller kitchen, will have to be a tweeny tiny island though. Hopefully, the island will come in handy for baking.

Are you having black granite or solid surface top? Heard black solid surface will show up scratches more than white. Actually black granite top is beautiful.

An island will definitely come in handy, size not withstanding. We are taking baby steps when it comes to baking. Just did our very first batch of chocolate chip cookies with the kids, thanks to Betty Crocker.

Heard that the bamboo screen will last probably about 3 years, depending on the location and condition. Ours being a high humidity weather somehow limits its lifespan. However depending on its location... if it is in an area where there's sunlight, it might last longer. Can't see clearly if your bamboo is stuck to the soil ground. Usually it's the part nearer to the soil that will rot first.

You're tempting me to replace my wooden fence with these bamboo sticks!

Btw, how much psf for your carpet grass?

You are right! Gardener said exactly the same thing, there's also some bamboo loving insects that will help you shorten the lifespan of the screen. Wonder if they will succumded to Bygon.

If you are seriously considering the bamboo sticks, go to Far East Florist. The cheapest for a 2m x 3m is $69.90. They also have 2m x 5m going for $109/$119. Much cheaper than the ones i got from hawaii landscape.

About $1.80+ psf. I heard there are different types of carpet grass but did not have time to do research on it.

Will probably be black granite top. Dark colours solid top do show scratches easily, thus not ideal for me. Furthermore for the kind of $ that will be spent, granite seems like more value for money. I do a fair bit of cooking as well, so a tiny island will still be handy for food preparation or baking. Oh Betty Crocker is good and easy, taste great too.

Can PM me your gardener's contact for the grass? Do they also do landscaping as well? Still undecided between carpet or pearl grass.

From Dawn to Dusk

A quiet moment at the dining room with the soft glow of morning light streaming in.

Before nightfall and the din of dinner time
