nothing to update reno-wise since it's bloody ages away, sad.gif but i've been buying rubbish little knick knacks online and received some of them today.

  • Glass lantern full of flickering LED "fireflies"
  • Rechargeable solar batteries keep your lights going for many hours
  • Switchable to glow when it gets dark, or when you shake the jar

hello mr reiki, you grace my blog with your presence but didnt acknowledge me *sadded* anyways, thanks for sharing your beautiful place especially your wire management ideas with us all.

OoOpPsS! Hi Hi Sleek!! :) Really like the spacious space area of your house and considered it a 5-rooms flat. Looking forward to follow your reno journey, Sleek.

ely , i donch have all those leh, i am super unglam kind or couldnt you tell that day with me chasing my boy all over like a yellow-faced housewife! :notti:

You're hardly a yellow-faced housewife! Any online gamer demands more respect from me than that - think of yourself as a modern-day soccer mom like on Desperate Housewives :P You should see me chasing after Maxey all day!

Love the look you're going for - that apartment is gorgeous and yet so cozy and warm. It would be like perpetually living in a villa in Bali. Unfortunately, my home has segregated themes so it doesn't blend all that well - balcony is more resort, living and kitchen is modern, bedroom is vintage/glam-chic (complete with 1965 General Electric rotary phone~).

You're an object of envy because of that 23ft wardrobe. D.a.m.n.

- Ely

the irony of online gamer REAL girls is they are either incredibly hawt like yourself or else incredibly scary rofl.gifsoccer mom? totally way off base, those women are sooooo competitive and i am sooooo not that way with life and especially my kids lives! your house will be so special cos it's totally yours and reflects your taste la - not easy to pull off at all!

Are we still going on about the **** wardrobe which is only an IDEA and not reality? I am pretty sure someone else before us has something bigger than mine loh bleah.gif

Yes we are, because we can only dream of 23ft wardrobes. I have no more space for shoes - am sure The Husband is secretly gleeful about this. Even had to stack my shoes to fit the wardrobe~

I totally agree about the REAL online gurl gamers - have seen some scary ones - you're definitely not one of them. Also, I'm not "incredibly hawt" (that category belongs to Monica Belluci, Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie) - really more an average Singaporean gurl who's really good at disguising her geeky side. Ha! :P No false modesty here - am simply stating a fact. :) Have seen gorgeous Singaporean girls gracing our clubs and streets and felt so inadequate. :(

Love your online buys - have eyed them myself but realised there is simply too much clutter already. Sigh.

ely, you've bought heaps more online than me, these are just 2 of what i've bought online... hahaha i'm keeping the rest to myself for now (i'm pretty sure you haven't disclosed everything either) just like you havent posted any photos of your place bleah.gif

May and ely: and for arguments sake, i have seen plenty of homes on RT blog where they have the space for as big a WIW as mine, where they've knocked down walls and combined 2 rooms to one big MBR and even though they haven't done it - it was definitely possible so I still feel it is nothing special as only difference is I am actually going to attempt to do it. disturb.gifand may you definitely have the space for a U shaped okay, you have room to eat slightly into the part where instead you have the chairs.

aiyah if & when my cash from the sale of the place comes in, i'll buy the fireflies as housewarming gifts for all you special ladies okay!excl.gifdancingqueen.gif

i like but hubby doesn't want standing lamp/table lamp etc... esp for the ones i brought from previous place (he can't throw them away, rite? :D), let me think of a good place to use this first... hee hee hee... :P

sometimes it's not just the space available, but also the layout of the room e.g. where the windows and the beams are. like my MBR, in terms of floor area, there is certainly space for a bigger wardrobe, but it's not possible due to the "very good" layout of the room :rolleyes: so, you're really lucky to have the space and a layout that allow you to have the big big WIW! enjoy~ :good:

Well, there are windows near where the chairs are. So its not possible to have a WIW that will eat into the place of the windows. Like what Marshy says, the lay out might not be suitable for such a big big WIW. What i have is the biggest my MBR can accomodate even after hacking 2 rooms into 1.

really?? hahaahha.... thanks thanks... i will be looking forward to your housewarming gift! hahaha....
