Alamak... you all almost ready liao... I haven't even tile I targetting for 26th Dec handover. hahaha DIE.

Ye condition very good. I would just move in wor... CONGRATS!

first she put up notices. Then she put up fake CCTV and a huge sign that points to the CCTV. haiz

good good. you got tell them your budget? hehe rem to shave a couple of thousands off when you tell them your budget. lol When I first started on my search for contractors... I told them 10k. for a 5 room with a flooring like mine most of them shook heads.. some tried. Then I went up to 14k... hahaa now way beyond that cos became tempted to do everything.

Wah that's good. sister looking...

WAH really fast and on time!! Good for you!! I love how you coordinated the tiles for the common toilet. chic

Went to check out the flat today!!! Oh yes I realised that I've never shown you all this..... It's in my void deck heheheh Tiles delivered and downstairs, waiting for the workers to bring up. We asked the worker to help scrape the door frames... gave him some coffee money Completely hacked and cleared toilet. My balcony which will be levelled up to combine with the living room.. mMMmM Ultra Messy Kitchen! Then we started to take measurements for the curtains.... Went furniture shopping a bit. Saw this very nice bed... queen sized for $999 including the bed cover and 4 cushions. Sister went bananas over the bed. As for me I liked this table that comes with 4 chairs... about $600 after discount I think. MmMm But tomorrow will be out to find more bargains so... hopefully can find stuff like this at better prices! Meanwhile after all the running about during the day... we pack at night... our house is now officially a mess.

mmMmm My colleague last time she buy the house.. stay for a year then got LS come.. cos apparently the ex-owner never change address on IC and go borrow money using her address. Very cruel ah this kind of people. I remember when I was hunting for flats.. we saw so many LS-harrassed flats. There were a couple of units that we REALLY LOVED but had LS problems. We joked about splashing paint on our own doors and putting bicycle chains on our doors every day plus put glue in our own locks... ... This is really a problem no one wants to have. haiz.

Morning BunBun! hehe I did think of having those painted a very neutral melodramatic colour like a warm grey sorts but decided against it after much thought. I prefer to keep it simple with black and white and my multi coloured art work which I'm going to put up. haha Sadly really no budget to do much now cos spent so much on reno. But will buy bits and pieces along the way to add them in I know what you mean man. I will definitely get good sheets. But before that I need a good pillow. *backache*

STOCKINGS!!! Must put up some socks with your names on them on the fireplace!!! SO NICE!!

The goodness of having a reno blog here. More people to share and source ideas.
