HaiDeChen 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2012 Contractor was sealing up the cement wall to some horrible smelling sealer.... we both felt faint after he finished applying it to the kitchen and decided that we better get out of there before we really collapse... the remaining walls will be sealed rest of the week!Items ordered, fridge, oven, hood and kitchen faucets also all arrived! Staying put in the MBR until kitchen is done up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HaiDeChen 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2012 The industrial look is almost coming together..it's rather dark and not many people like it..but i like being surrounded by cement and concrete..feels safe. was thinking of painting my doors..but actually wood looks pretty nice too. Just need to change my warped front door.Craftstone bricks also came. Not going to paint over it so that it retains that original raw look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I prefer there as most of my close friends stay at that area till across the bridge. Apart from that we always hang out at 146 to lim kopi in the middle of night. Probably we might bump into each other nxt time round. haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HaiDeChen 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2012 I'm relatively new to the area, been living across the bridge all these while..Just shifted to Potong Pasir as it's near to my parents. How come you never purchase flat at Potong Pasir? They are rarely being sold though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
