great to see that you managed to keep closely to your theme. i started off with wanting a scandi but ended with a mix of scandi & retro & rojak. honestly i don't think it's necessary to explain yourself further or that you aren't alan's relative or alan in disguise. haters gonna hate so no amount of explanation will work. so long as your conscience is clear - that's the most important. and ewww, i cant imagine myself to be alan. that is just so . lol i had my fair share of unpleasant experiences with alan as well & honestly, some of the completed works were shoddy but i didn't see a point in nitpicking in everything as if i did, i could probably have turned it into a script for a movie. if one is to read my blog, you would have noticed too that i chose to deal with his sub-cons directly, rather than alan. even after i moved in, i called his sub-cons for rectification works, rather than the man himself. in summary, i chose to focus on the good, rather than the bad.and i'm contented so long as my home is cosy & liveable. i'm not a perfectionist because i believe as with every single thing in life, there will always be flaws. cheers to your new home!
