Hi Xlan,

My flat going to complete soon.. but i am still not fully satisfied yet. So maybe before handover, will have some minor changes ba.. Now too busy.. SO not around, me alone cant do much too. Yup, thats what my ID told me in the first place, but then after that, he said that there is a max length. but since its common, then no choice lo.. i have no time to u/l the pics yet.. prob in early Dec ba.. by then maybe can let u all see..

oh wa.. so gd completing soon.. can't wait to see neh! hehehee..

Feel like checking out the unit right after collecting the keys... anyone who can advise whether is wed a "Good Day" to open the door?

Hi Cindy

So how is your renovation going on?

Going to start the screeding? Mean another 3 week before reno fully on full force?

Has been looking at XLAN and YANG blog ...thatlost track on your blog...

Congrat!

My ID did not charge me leh cause I think it is because I am doing laminated flooring for the whole flat.

Must buy more cakes for them on this weekend.

Hi Lynnie

Yours is blk 25b?

This morning abt 1240am, pass by there and saw 1 unit fully lights on at blk 26a.

So means blk 26a,b,c, & d, blk25a, blk 27a,b are in process in collecting keys?

Except blk25b!

Nemofc,

I went in to my homepage to check everyday and it's still the same. "Probable completion Q4 of 2007". I just went over to the site to take a look at my block. Notice some of the windows are open. Does that mean the contractors have not hand over to HDB for checking? Really wonder how long it's gonna take before i can collect my keys.

ask u all ah, is 12 lights in the living room alot? or 8 will do? (the small square box type on the ceiling)

XLAN u have any idea?

hi all. share a pic of my master bedroom toilet (a little blur). the pipes and accessories not up yet !!

downlights all ready...

Vince has 12lights..but its 1living room+1bedroom combine into a big living room right?

my ID recommend me 12lights, but i feel its too many leh. then i decided to take 8, but seems that 8 is not enough..so maybe do 10?

hi fellow JMian,

sorry, what is glass backsplash? do you mean the solid surface top on your kitcheN?

Backsplash = the circled area

It is pasted over the tiles, some ppl may choose not to have it. It comes in the form of stainless stell or tempered glass

Hi nemofc & jasch,

it seems that contractors haven't hand over keys to HDB yet. Once status change, you can start to chase hdb for keys liao... and everything will be very fast...
