Oops... just realised Reiki asked for pics of the toilet... and I totally forgot about it. Paiseh.

Here they are:

Kept it as simple as I could, as I spend very little time in there.

Almost 5 months since I moved in, and I've yet to look for something to adorn my walls or pillar. Sigh.

And this was taken last Christmas after I moved in.

DAY 16

Met electricians late morning yesterday to go through the wiring requirements and placement of power sockets and light switches. Very professional and experienced I must say. The foreman gave very sound advise on what can be done, what can't, and what should be done, to balance practicality and aesthetics. They were hard at work when I returned to spot check during lunch and by evening time, alll the cables and wires were up and tied up in neat bundles.

Call me kiasu, but I gave this to my ID and the electrician to ensure they know exactly where I want my switches. Not exactly standard technical/eletrical notations, but they get the idea. Am not leaving to chance something I have to live with for at least the next 5 years of my life. Can rely on the ID to plan to the last minute detail cos only the home owner knows?

Tendrils everywhere.

The ugliest unconcealable light switches right outside the toilet.

Materials have been partially delivered for construction of the light boxes, toilet pipe box up and fake walls. They will probably go up over the new few days.

Yo, May I know what is the meaning of 1 gang, 2 gang?

I steered clear of glass cos I am just too lazy to wipe them since they are to prone to finger prints. Heavy too. I opted for wood and if you refer to my pics, the centre strip is actually PU leather with some design on it. Would have wanted more interesting doors like those found in SLIDEROBES, but Alumix is very limited in what they have, so no choice.

Oh, in layman terms.. it's just the number of switches there are in a box lor. E.g. some have only one.. to switch on one light.. others have 2 or 3, can switch on and off lights in different part of the house.

hi there,

a coupla questions about your kitchen please. i'm thinking of hacking off the wall between my living room and kitchen and in its place put up glass like you did. do you cook much? can you say (or have you heard anything at all) it's a practical thing to do? i noticed you also used glass as the backsplash. easier to clean than tiles, would you say?

any input is appreciated. thanks!

I do cook a few times a week and sometimes on weekends. The usual stir frying, boiling soup, etc. Nothing like the Malay housewife auntie. So far I find it ok. Been staying here 9 months and as long as you make it a point to clean up right after cooking, I find it ok. The fumes don't seem to dirty the glass door also.

I find the glass backsplash easier to clean. I think less likely to get stains compared to tiles. I have another friend who did the same, cos his ID recommended it, saying that even if it gets dirty or cracked from heavy use after some years, it is very easy to just replace the glass backsplash. Hope this answers your questions.

The vase was from Robinson's from some years back. Chances are, they might now have the exact same thing, but I am sure you will be able to find similar vases in their household department. The things in the glass vase from from Ikea some months back. They are seasonal, sometimes have, sometimes not. Other times they bring in other things.
