Ya I like Ah How also... he's the bigger sized Malaysian tiler right? He's very nice. My mom called him UNCLE and I scolded her!! He's so young compared to her! I think I know who the older Uncle is... A few times I caught him flirting with girls on his HP while doing work. LOL As long as the work is done I don't care.

Congrats on all the purchases! Seems like you've settled most! Good for you! Show us your tile selections? hehe I think Hafary and LSH have better selections than SL...

haha YES it's finally happening... I'm super happy too. haha thanks thanks Got it. writing it down. Thanks gaku!

Should be. If he doesn't, remind him. They usually have a few in the van.

I certainly hope it will be! It'll also clear out all the ugly things in the house. lol

haha no la. I used simple basic software.. *cheated* I shall teach myself some 3D software this June. That is my goal for this coming hols. Next time can offer to do drawings for people for a small fee... freelance... But that's a dream for now. haha The wall on the right? not sure yet. Uncle say he will ask for approval... But I'm a little worried about hacking it cos it leads to my kitchen... that'll will make my kitchen very OPEN... unlike yours.. makes the living area more open.

haha my bf and good friends say so too. I think when I don't have so many bills to pay (in 4 years time) then I'll consider. Or if he can earn a living for both of us. haha HE? He is a black and white guy. he lives a colourless life, except during CNY when he forces everyone, including himself to wear red. YUP! Will be a cosy eating corner with glass to block off the toilet door and wallpaper on that wall with the switch. YOU WENT GOODRICH??? so luckyyyyy *sob*

On top of that, we are buying THIS recess area outside my door... That small wall directly opposite is going to have a full height cabinet while we'll have half height cabinets lining the left of the picture.

haha ok ok now for the Before pictures. Whenever we talk about my kitchen I always show you guys this side... Nice neat and clean look. But on the opposite side... we have an old ugly Ikea table which we dump everything on. And that's my mom's very ugly clothes hanging thing with TONS of hangers... So we're thinking of getting rid of all that... with a tiny dining area with some cabinets to place my microwave and toaster in.

EXACTLY... I keep thinking what I can add here and there... keep surfing websites to look for more things to beautify the house and my room... *DOOMED* haha I always use this to threaten my bf. When he's mean to me I tell him I'm going to get people to paint his room pink and install pink accessories and change the bedsheet to pink satin ones. I really like this you know.. when I had the time, I would go for midnight walks to look at houses and their designs in those private estates...

ahhh ok. I thought so. So good.. you can override him. I only get overridden.. haha

A LOT OF THINGS... it also depends on whether you believe in Fengshui... Most imptly 1) Walk down the nearest staircase near the unit to check for signs of loansharks. Do it during all the viewings you go to the prospective flat.... Be extra alert if the seller seems to be in need of money quick. 2) Look for any telltale signs of a bad neighbour. I've seen people who put bicycles and laundry all the way to their neighbours' doors. If you move in, they'll bully you the same too. 3) availability of lifts on your floor (if you need it) If upgrading, ask when it would be and how much it costs. 4) If you have a small budget for your reno... then check the floor tiles, windows, window grilles and walls. If those are ok, you'll save lots. 5) check for leakages. If you like the place and do sign the option for it, call up HDB and ask them to pay special attention to the leakage if any. Sometimes some officers don't check properly and eventually the leaking problem becomes yours.

I seriously think I am... I even dream of re-doing my bf's room... *faint* Shall take photos after i shower.. lala

hehe no need cos we will most likely use the same ones from the kitchen so that the look is more complete...Just asking...

haha the rest of the MBR toilet walls... I guess they are tiled. WAH take photo of the pebble wash leh! I wanted to do but was immediately IGNORED by my parents when I mentioned it. BLEH. Hi Gaku. thanks for the clarifications. I will talk to Uncle ba. Will see if can find him tomorrow to drink tea. Maybe he will come with the Uncle who's coming to my house to settle my recess... but judging from the appts he's made I guess not.

Wow with this new picture, can really see how the space has opened up! Even more spacious now! As for the MBR tiles.. it's quite nice what. but I'm curious.. are the rest of the spaces tiled? cannot see properly. It looks like cement... **AH... the dining area very messy...** lol later i go take. Poor girl.. have to be working mommy cum coordinator.. nvm it'll only be for about a month more. JIA YOU!

Blue.. mm I was playing with your layout... then I realise.. the hardest thing to deal with is the rubbish chute...

Heard Jason say la. Uncle didn't say anything.. you know Uncle's not the complaining sort. But Jason does have a teeny habit of blowing things up so ... not sure ba. but I'm sure in their 20 years of experience... if they describe someone as shouting at them, it must be quite dramatic

hahah I pai seh to take photos of the current dining area space! It's so messy!!!! haha Will take photos of the recess though. The application will take 2 weeks to process.. then after that can start work in JUNE! YAY then I can look after the reno every day!

So sweet. Your mom also very good... not easy to go everyday. But like that the workers will also be happy and not give black face. It's not easy to do manual work in places without fan/air con... the only consolation is that they are not under the sun. There was once it was 11pm and Uncle hadn't eaten.... haiz. I like your microwave! Looks like it has a good height...

Mine was Yellow. you want blue better say early... I like the all silver one best. Ivy.. I didn't see what is the thickness of my laminate samples.. but mine was Greenlam... (I finally rem which is mine...)

ya. I'm also more careful when recommending people to him.. will pre-warn them... and if they don't seem very nice in the first place I will ignore them. I've also heard of people shouting at Uncle and Jason... Jason said some of the people are very mean to them...

... somehow seeing Uncle always makes all of us feel better. WAH seems fast that so much of your kitchen has been tiled!!

tomorrow wor... it's Sunday... I'm glad he did turn up though. Do you have the laminate samples alr?

YAY MOnday can see the nice nice tiles go up!!!!
