hi mae,

only saw your blog now since i've been missing for months after my reno completed!.. btw, i used to live in pandan for over 20 years, since i was a baby and only moved out when i got married! my parents were still living there though. when my hubby and i decided to move from our first house, we were thinking of the point blocks in pandan but in the end we opt for our current place. now looking at your huge windows, i kinda thought why didn't i just go with pandan point blocks ah!

i know which block you are! and i happen to have a friend staying in the same block with the same facing too! i think he's on the 22nd floor?

btw, great job with your newly revamped abode! you do have good taste wor.

wow Merydith, very long time no see!! how's your house so far? good?

Hey, Merydith

Thank you for dropping by.....so we were once neighbours huh? Probably you might have met me if you visit your parents because I am like the auntie busy buying groceries & 'ta-pou' from the row of shops almost daily.

I am also glad that you know sis Marshy ...we are making more and more friends in this forum! Hooray!

I actually did not notice the 'big' windows; only knew that we have 'wide' windows from corner to corner. Come to think of it, our windows are really big & wide!

Here comes the 'pantry' which supposed to be the 'mini garden'.....now becomes 'pantry'

one colleague of mine said he heard from "insider news" that GE will be 30 Apr. Another colleague said he also heard from "insider news" that GE will be 7 May.

funny how civil servants (friends78, csingeu, hubby) don't hear any news at all~

Yes, we were once neighbours! i moved out in 2002 but I still go back once a week at least. Maybe can call you and drop by your nice place hor? hehe. i only go to that row of shops to see doc and have my favourite kway teow soup. been patronising the mee stall since i was a little girl.

btw, you have problems with your blum drawer runners? some of mine cannot close properly liao wor. have to give it a push to close completely.

oh why leh? it's becos of workmanship or? hahaha mine is ok la... yup we reno almost same time... i almost signed with your contractor haha

ya.. workmanship wasn't tip top leh. and i don't know why the MBR toilet will have this awful sewage/**** smell after the reno complete. it's still there now lor.. numerous plumber visits also cannot solve. so sianz leh.

Your baking skill is

The pantry area I am happy that I have a classified area now.

When I relocated the sink, I can only think of turning that area into 'mini garden' where I can place the wooden bench which I can't bear to throw away (only this bench & few IKEA stuffs which you saw in my house which I recycle).

Now, I spend my time reading books in that corner as it is very windy & have good views (unlike the converted tiny living room)..... .

Then, you spotted the legs of our dining chairs wearing 'socks'..... The corners of the chair legs are quite sharp and have to prevent it hurting the 'human' legs and scratching the floors

yes... i like the cheesecake... quite nice wat... would be better if there's some coffee/tea to go with it... LOL... though I'm thinking more of those Starbucks frappies...

Bro csingeu

I am glad that you & your wife managed to pop by after your meeting with contractor.

Next gathering we will meet everybody there, ok?

In the meantime, relax & focus on studying for your exam!

Good Luck be with you Always!

Would have preferred to drop by earlier... so that we can spend more time at your place and catching up with the rest...

I was still telling my wife, i must go, coz I wanted to meet bro Kobelala... LOL... but too bad, he left b4 i reached...

was tied up with the contractor, as his previous clients took more time... and I was only expecting to clarify some additional items and changes with him, and maybe choose some laminates for the kitchen cabinet...

ended up... but one thing led to another, and we were choosing everything... from staircase rail colour to balcony door colour, etc...

will try to join in for the may gathering at boon keng...

I should be more free then
