jamez 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2007 Hi jamez, The one we are using now is ACDSee, software that comes along with the digital camera I bought, I believe most digital cameras comes with their own version of software. There are also freewares avaliable, such as Google image software, think its Picasa, but can do a search for it. Hope it helps. By the way, glad to see your original state photos, hope to see more in the future! I see...dunno my Canon got anot...later go check out. Picasa I have..i cun resize with Picasa.. anyway i used paint to resize...you guys find it ok? does the pics load slow?Will start posting the renovation process pics...but gotta finish my work stuff first... If u are using Microsoft Windows XP, then u can go to Microsoft Website. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloa...ppowertoys.mspxAnd download the free Image Resizer.After installation, point the mouse to the image u wanted to resize and right click.u will see the "Resize Image" Option. Clicking on it will bring up a dialog Box that have some option for u to resize the image. Quite an easy to use tool.thanx for the info...will check it out later...

Ideas are being shared in the forum mah. i also found ideas here and there from the forums for my new house. anyway, my pebble wash supposed to be darker color, but the dust from the renovation makes the pebbles wash looks white.

And Melvin and Angeline's lounge...so cosy with all the dark colours...I love dark colours actually...but gonna be living with my parents and my wife also dun like dark dark one...so I go along with the bright themes. and therez many many more! They are all so nice!wow, what a total revamp!!!interesting man!!Thank you! I think I know where did u buy your dining table...Furniture mall right? We were aiming also for that dining table.. but it's more than our budget How much did u get it for If i may know...Yup at furniture mall...We bought the table in 5ft/3ft + 6 dining chairs total damage $2650...i dunno how much the table alone cost cost i kinda bought it as a package from the shop...I walkd around and saw similar designs of this table at other shops also all about $1300+ to $1500+ range.U wan i can call the shop that i bought it from to find out the price of the table alone?

Hi jamez, You got a very STUNNING common toilet there. Think your visitors will be so mesmerised before they can do their business. Seems like your renovation is going very well, really excited to see your house when completed. Keep us updated ok? haha...thank you for your kind comments tim_chenie. at first we choose some tiles from white horse for our toilet and i was thinking like quite dull..so our id/contractor bought us to sbh...where we saw all these colourful tiles and nice designs..so last minute change all the toilet concept.I will post more pics when i go up again nex week...my work has been keeping me away from going up as mush as i like...now also find it difficult to arrange for time to go and buy the toilet bowl and sink and stuff...haiz... Hi,think u went to the same shop in Furniture Mall as me... Was thinking of getting the round table just next to the rectangle one u buy but price wise a bit ex.. can share u got it at and how much discount he gave to u? TIA!oh u mean the round olive colour one? the olive colour also very nice...the shop is Luxur***t at furniture mall....at level 1.at first it was $2600 for 4ft/2 half ft table and 6 chairs...then bargain with the lady until $2500 and placed deposit. Subsequently thought the dimensions of the dining table too small...so changed it to 5ft/3ft on advise by our id/contractor...become $2650..with 6 chairs...so discount not so much. yah itz a bit ex lah...but i like the sleek look and my wife simply loves it...so pamper ourselves loh. but our budget super burst liao loh haha...gotta cut back abit on other areas. !!
