Angel81, The surrounding areas of Yew Tee MRT have changed quite a bit. Now got YewTee Point. YewTee Shopping Centre has also expanded (got a new cafe and also McCafe). The MRT station itself have 2 foodcourts.

Some of the custom procedures that we have gone through: Kai men (open door after collecting keys): Mix rice (uncooked), salt and tea leaves. Just throw the mixture at the main door and say some good words before opening. Kai gong (to signify start of renovation): Bring a hammer tied with red string and knock 3 times at the place suggested by the fengshui master. Then the contractor can start any date/time after that. Simple, short and sweet

Fengshui master said my element is strong GOLD and my wife's is strong WOOD. Green will be good for us

Thanks for the grats. It is a new condo in Yew Tee. I saw many units have already moved in or started renovation. I signed my ID or contractor on 3 Mar 09 and now still discussing the designs

Wall color themes given by Fengshui master: Foyer: green Dining: green Living: green Guest toilet: green Guest bedroom: blue Master bedroom: blue or pink or purple or wood or red Study room: blue Utility room: green Guess it will be a green green house...

Studyroom Will do study table Guestroom Probably will convert to relax/ironing/general purpose room

Master bedroom Strong afternoon sun (need solar film) Will construct storage with resting area on bay window Wardrobe Just enough for my wife's stuff...mine will be in other rooms

Guest toilet (Fengshui master said this area must have green color...hmmm..any suggestions?) Masterbedroom toilet (Note the full-height frosted window at the shower area...I think outside can see clear shadows at night) (Need to do something about it...hmmm...maybe put up a shower curtain to block)

Supplied kitchen cabinets with cooker hob, hood and oven (my wife and I don't cook anyway ) Kitchen sink (got sound when running water because of the flat shape) Nothing much to do here except to install lights

Living room (intended to construct feature walll and tv console here): Planter **** room (intended to level with chengai deck here):

Rest of our place in raw or given state: Foyer (intended to construct shoe cabinets here): Dining area viewed from foyer (intended to construct display cabinets here): Dining area viewed from living room:

Yard grill (just installed today) with my laundry pole holder in the foreground and my neighbour's expensive laundry system in the background My laundry pole holder (40 bucks ) (Installation FOC because I asked the gate/grill contractor to install for me )

Main door Main door with wrought iron gate installed this morning

Nope. MBR, guest room and living room windows facing a road and flats across the road The little room (intended to use a study/computer room) can see the children pool.

This morning, just installed main door gate and yard grill. Tomorrow should be the date defect rectification complete. This Saturday, putting up solar film as master bedroom, bedroom 2 and living room all have strong afternoon sun.

Collected our keys on 12 Feb 09. The floorplan: Floor area: 108sqm. The bay windows and planter took up some space.

Hi Jaskel, Can I have the carpenter's contact? Any pics to share? Thanks!

One more option for bay window will be solid wood top. I am also doing bay windows for my new residence. Still deciding between veneer, granite or solid wood top as my area affected has afternoon sun. Laminate will be out.

Which Giant? tks.

Need the old style If a smaller part is used, I need to touch up the door.

Hi, Where to buy magnetic door holder shown in the image? Thanks
