juz called my ID to ask the painter to com n plaster n repaint the aircon trunking.. guess wat, he asked 'why muz plaster n re-paint'. i had to remind him dat the aircon guy took down my aircon trunking n now the box up can see the lines between the trunking n false board n paint coming off all over. den he oni said 'ok lor'.

now i understand y my hubby dun like my ID.. tink it's vice versa.. i had always tot good of my ID coz his attitude to me during reno was super good! but now i can say aftersales aka post-reno attitude is totally different. my hubby always tells me ID tok to him beri loud etc... i was even comtemplating at one time to cancel the service before my reno started n asked for the 10% to be refunded even if it's in voucher.

sigh, i koe it's too late to regret, so juz com here n 'fa lao sao'. even my MIL n mum dun tink my house looked so fantastic after spending abt $40k in reno. i tink with tis sum, it could be much better ba..

Hmmm...10 yrs time reno again?

Wah, yesterday afternoon went to visit my hubby's friend's wife at Marsiling Road. Found out it took me abt 30 minutes from 299 MSCP to their carpark. Is it the route or is it me driving?

Anyway, I wanna talk abt their house. Wah.....sweeeeeee! Very simple and understated, very diff concept and most importantly they got reno done for under $20k for a resale 5rm flat, corridor unit. Sandwiched between their home are the two units of jumbo flat.

Sorry har....no pics to show, bcos forgot to bring camera. Ok, first when step into the living room, I see: not-so-glossy milky white homo tiles, milky white matt painted walls. Sofa is a very BIG L-shape like angmoh size, camel colour fabric upholstery, and very sleek. The sofa's base is unvarnished/unstained but oiled teak wood, square & low coffee table has pockets of niches as storage and the same oiled teak wood. Dining table and benches can fit 8 big-sized adults or 10 petite adults, wood is oiled teak wood. At parts of some walls, there's also long oiled teak wood wall shelves, tv console same type of wood & finishing. The tv console is a tall (abt 1m) and wide (abt 2m) U-shaped, with one-tier shelf to put StarHub set-top and dvd player.

The even nicer part is the kitchen: Cement-screed floor with abt 2-inch wide treated teakwood embedded within the cement-screed surface and arranged to mimic floor tiles and squarish. The kitchen base and counter is concrete and tiled (slate tile, I think). The worktop: imagine the ikea wooden chopping block that looked like basket weave? Yup, treated and oiled salvaged teakwood (brought in from Java and Lombok)embedded within combination of cement and slate tiles, to form a ready-to-use wooden surface cum chopping board. Kitchen sink is porcelain, deep and squarish. In fact, the bedroom doors are all just oiled solid teakwood. She told me all her furnitures including the bed are shipped from Java & Lombok for a total of S$300 plus S$100 GST, for a half container ler.

The whole house concept reminded me of a spa at Jalan Seminyak in Bali. Very calm, serene, not too masculine or feminine, just simply simple. The ID is also hubby's friend, but they use local S'pore contractor. My friend V, told me yesterday that even the contractors got headaches to execute this particular concept, bcos they never tried it before...but they managed to pull it through well. Just too bad the ID now in Jakarta oredi, concentrating on his other businesses. Gd for him as me & hubby had seen how much he struggled so much to obtain a design degree in RMIT Melbourne and subsequently won a landscaping design award in Melbourne while he was in his final year. Hope to see him again soon, he now honeymooning with his bride lah. He also designed the interior for one of my close friends who owned a bridal shop at Jalan Kledek, the one nearby Golden Landmark.

i shd haf gone for a contractor or unimax creative which was our initial choice.. or even wait for more quotes... can't possibly my hubby though he was the one who decided on the ID. the way my ID tok was really good lor.. my hubby tot with his more than 10yrs experience, the reno shd be good.

By the way...what's TOK KONG?

Oh ya, I forgot to add abt my friend V of her common bathroom. U guys try to figure out how much this cost: The common toilet size and shape is like N2C19 EA mbr bathroom. Bathroom floor is greyish-black slate-like matt tiles with no patterns, simple white new WC and absolutely no wall tiles around in the bathroom. Dunno if the ex-owner never install wall tiles or most probably the old wall tiles were hacked and walls plastered smooth with cement. White bowl sink sits nicely on a specially-treated salvaged teakwood u-shaped vanity top, with chromed tap. The bathroom walls are painted with white epoxy paint, no need to think of grout lines here & there. Got rainshower, handshower and two way tap.
