Resale Hdb 5i, Yishun Ring Road - Finally

[terminatrix84 1]

Hello There,

Finally after 4 years of marriage and waiting, me and wifey got a house we can call our own. As previously before, my wife had a house at Sengkang which she shared with her mum. Due to some differences among us, we decided to move out to stay with my grandma for 3 years plus. After 5 years, finally my wife managed to sell the sengkang house.

With our new home, since it's resale, there's a lot to be done from hacking, painting, re designing etc etc.. attached are our house layout

Below are the Interior Design we went to for our quotation:

And i think being a friend, he has been patience with me as i changed the quotation four times! haha thats's what friend are for. LOL. Recommeded alot of ideas. Even his partner name Sebastien also give us alot of ideas. Quote from 49k to $44k to $34k and finally $43k.
