gg to new house?? Must take photos!!

Last night I did the math while lying in bed I really realised how much the renovation is costing us. Sigh so much $$. But after doing some calculation about the furniture... Most of you buy furniture for your own room (bed +wardrobe+side table), the living room and maybe one guest room..... For us... we had to buy 4 beds, 4 wardrobes, 4 study tables... 4 sets of everything cos every room had to have its own set. One top of that, we have to include the living... So a lot of cost saving is needed....

Wah very white already! Very nice. and the tiling was quite good ba. white white house!

*SWEEEEE*

Sigh but they like the walnut colour better lor. means mine might be like that also. mine's black. Hehe thanks! I love those two too.

WAH sat handover?? Congrats!!

The safe we had previously was SO SUPER HEAVY it took 3 men (2 movers and my dad) to bring it down the stairs and out of the house to get rid of... Cannot imagine if burglars want to do that quietly... But dunno if they make the safes like that anymore.

haha actually no. we got rid of the car years ago when we noticed that age is catching up with dad and his driving is very reckless. I'm afraid. so byebye car.. It's just that we never had a need for a car and have been happy using public transport. Everywhere in SG is very accessible anyway. UNTIL we had to go to Sungei Kadut today. haha and the IFC and Star Furniture are quite apart. Shopping for furniture and checking out prices would be much easier with a car. Thankfully we just have to do this ONCE. ... and from your question... is locating to HDB... a sign of "poverty"? haha this particular unit happen to cost us A LOT of COV. "relocate to HDB"....... does that mean you know where I live now? Hihi Angel! I love them too!!! i'm so so so glad that I got rid of one more headache. Tomorrow I'm finalising the blinds... then we're ALL SET! Can dedicate the rest of our time to packing and bugging the Contractor

I'll just place a table runner over it

Welcome welcome. Love your bed la. I wanted to get this bed last time but decided to give myself more floor space with a single. More pictures ya?

*HEADACHE*

haha BunBun you are SOOOOOO right! The general areas in my house are mostly white with a more modern tinge to it. Bro's room will be in deep red with simple furnishings, beanbag... just like a bachelor's pad la. Sis and Mom's rooms are more conventional... white with some brown solemn furniture... As for mine? General white with some more quirky bits all over and art pieces... haha my own rubbish which my mom is SOOOO happy that I can do something with them now, instead of collecting dust. Details of our shopping today. As Easterners who live, shop, work in the East all year long, we made the necessary trip to the West today. It's been years since I've passed by this place.. haha We dropped by at a shop recommended by a friend first... but didn't get anything... Then we took the MRT and shuttle to IFC. For once I really feel the strains of not owning a car. But we all told ourselves that it's for this period only... There we found our dream sofa at Uvonna. (or is it Univonna) This uber comfortable sofa... in a rich brown... like below. We walked about IFC, gathered some ideas... went to STAR Furniture... went to K&D furniture... But were still unhappy and weren't satisfied with the prices and styles offered. In the end... we went to back to S&C Furniture. Melvin and wife remembered us and really served us very well. Melvin himself served us while his wife tended to two other groups. During the 2 hours we were there, he was with us throughout....... about 5 groups came in, confirmed and left during that time. Some of the stuff we chose. Parent's Wardrobe. (quite low cos the air con trunking is blocking) Sis' Wardrobe (much higher cos she doesn't have the trunking and no beam blocking) Our coffee table Our TV console My bed. My wardrobe. My parents and sister got Storage beds for their rooms, one king and one queen each. I was reminded by Melvin not to give the prices of the items... but after doing so much checks and walking about I can safely say we saved $150 - $500 off each item you see here.... For 4 bedrooms and a living room, we spent about $6k which I find very reasonable... Although you can't see the items like it is in a showroom... but after walking about SO MUCH, it easy to see that all the stuff is the same (unless you are toking abt the HIGH END stuff la) So... might as well get them cheap. In case you're wondering S&C Furniture is at Ang Mo Kio Ave 1. PM me if you want the number.

hehe http://www.lush-lush.com/ WAH your photo very nice... wife look very pretty le! Photographer who ah? I kaypoh I not getting married though. lol

YA! now economy no good... see who dun wan who. Reno is going well. Contractor is getting a well deserved rest in Genting this long weekend. haha Tuesday I'll begin bugging him again.

Change toiletbowl and washbasins.. the people who supply can prolly get it installed for you for a fee. BUT for washbasins... depending on how the previous one was done some of your tiles might spoil ba. Toiletbowl is ok. As for kitchen sink... if you find one exactly the same as your sink? haha that one I dunno. BUt might have to change top la.

AIYAH to make it ferrari you can add some yellow accessory bits here and there... like a cutlery holder.. or even some hanging thing. COOL LE! hehehe

eh... Well really hope that your problem has been resolved.. though it seems like the daughter is a bit defensive too but more understanding la.

ooo all the finishing touches! Really look forward to completed pictures!

Yup agreed. hehe I tot of leaving it white to see how the effect is first. If I'm unhappy with it I'll paint it in June. hehe. You're right! I'm the only one with the warm yellow light in the bedroom.

haha but think many people here are curious people...

also good la. But as long as the basics like the flooring for the rest of the house no need to change then you will save quite a bit liao. Super busy every day. Nvm soon for you too. Happy kind of busy I guess.

AH? The whole gate is wrong one ah... mmm Love your house haha reminds me of Ferrari. The WIW very nice and organised.

Emperor?! hahaha wah say then I hope it's my dad.

haha very weird hor. A few blocks ard Simei have this... I asked people why but they dunno. LOL Yup it does look nice... but initially they were thinking of a storage bed. so deciding between the two. Hopefully can get a combi of both. LOL

Ho Bee ah.. must call Patrick first then tell him you going to fax him. Then fax him the stuff. Then he will give you the quote within one or two days. Email very tough cos he rarely in the office to check...
