Been missing for awhile.. Lots of things happening lately.. Everyday gotta travel from west to central for work, then central to east to see the place.. and back to central and then west.. I'm soooo drained!! Work hasn't been kind to me either.. :( Anyway, finally, updates!!!

9/4/2011

Went to the house during the day time to check on the progress.. The flooring was varnished and the skirting and doors were stained.. YAY!! :D No pics for that though.. Will be included in the final product.. hehe..

Anyway, spend some time there and then it started raining!! To our horror, we saw this at the WIW

THE WIW WAS LEAKING FROM ALL 4 CORNERS!! Can't believe that happened.. I mean, shouldn't the person who did the backings and all should be properly trained and sufficiently knowledgeable to waterproof the entire room?!?! Or at least seal up any gaps/openings which may potentially impact the area?

Sigh.. Anyway, immediately contacted red audi and he says his men will get right to it.. Think it took about 3 days for them to do it.. With the recent weather, I think our flooring is probably condemned by then.. Sigh.. Told red audi about the floors and he says Kronotex has went up there to check it, and the flooring seems fine to them.. But anyways, he says he will still change them.. So everything's good (provided he changes them).. I just hope the leaking there is stopped for good.. Was there today (16/4/2011) and it rained.. Didn't see any leaks though.. So I think the issue has been resolved.. *phew*.. Hope it lasts..

The kitchen cabinets previously did not close smoothly.. Still has a slight slamming sound to it.. Got red audi to give us 2 blum's on each door.. :D PROBLEM SOLVED! :D

With regards to the missing ladder, red audi will deduct from our remaining outstanding balance.. Also noticed our previous LPG gas cylinder is now missing.. zzz.. Anyways, just requires $10 deposit.. So no issue there.. I think his guys will just take whatever they see in the house.. The other day, they even took our plastic stools.. Caught them before they left and took it back *rolleyes*.. Anyway, I'm sure they didn't mean to.. How would a plastic stool cost anyway..

Looking for good contractors? Click here for your request
oh, HK only has permanant residency, not citizenship (since HK is not a country). So applying for SG citizenship has no impact on the resident status at all. just need to renounce the British National Overseas or HK SAR passport.

Eh? Does this mean you're a citizenship-less person??? Ur an unwanted citizen.. No country wants to take you in.. Kekekekeke

when did you apply? since you been here for so many years, i am sure that you will be able to get the citizenship. if i can get it, i am sure you can get it too. :)

May no regrets renouncing your Malaysian citizenship? I thought you were a PR initially

Like i have the toilet revamp but i don't hv the toilet 3D and there's a shoe rack that i will be having but its not in the 3D as well. Honestly i'm not too sure of the purpose of this 3D ... =x

Our storage divan with lifetime warranty on hydraulics

<img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b269/valerie_hh/IMG_2896.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

Hi Valerie

May I know where you got this storage divan? Its nice :). Your blog is very informative :). I am also preparing for renovation of my new place. 3 bedroom unit, and i have 3 kids. Decided to build a study in the living room, challenging task, but no choice. I always believe in proper study area however my kids' rooms cannot cater big enough space for their study area because I want all the beds to be "on the flr"...no bunk beds, n pull out beds. This is my 3rd time renovating, but still feeling kind of lost......

Hi Valerie,

I went to Avanni to look at the bed that you bot. They quoted me $1099, its a big diff of almost $300 from what you managed to get! May I know how you bargained for such good price? Thank you.
