  1. I stay so near u but seems like I also never get the invites to taste your ice cream *scram*
  2. Hi, Thanks for your kind words;) I have pm you the contact.
  3. Not worth the price. I installed princeton in my masterbedroom and compact in my common toilet. Not much of difference and to think that I paid $100 extra for princeton. The guy who came to service my heater commented that Protek will be a better choice than princeton.
  4. So sweet of sleek! Mae jie, you deserved it cos u have been helping us with our queries:)
  5. Hi sis sleek! Glad that the crazy woman did turn up for the first appt! I can understand the stress cos I also arrange the first appt of my buying and second appt of selling on the same day so that I can have enough time to clear the cheque of my cash proceeds and using it to pay to hdb within the 10 days. When the buyer did not turn up on time for the 2nd appt, we almost broke out in cold sweats... Turned out that they were caught in the jam! Whew!!! Your dinner looks good! Yummy yummy!!! Now looking forward to your Reno updates!
  6. Take care everybody! Me also no better... Baby rushed to KK A&E yesterday due to fever and rashes all over the body. Fever now yoyo... Up and down... Hubby was sick for the last two weeks too... Sigh....
  7. Hugs, Sis Sleek. Hope your buyer don't play u out. It's quite inconsiderate of them to tell u of their decision only on the last day before the first appt. Hope everything will turn out well.
  8. Hi Ely, sorry to have waste your time flipping the papers:) it's mine that was supposed to be featured but don't know y it didn't leh... Maybe got chopped off last min cos they find it uninteresting.. perhaps? Anyway, I didn't check with them again as hubby doesn't really like it since I accepted the ST invitation. He's quite private and find it a chore to have the photographer over, posing for pictures and cleaning the place too... Cingseu, u guess it correctly!!!
  9. I luv the wicker balls! Ely, everything u touch seems to turn gold! Luv all your purchases and your DIY items.... Where is the earth u can dig out these treasures online? I try to search for stuff in eBay but I gave up half hr later... The items I saw were old and boring... Do consider conducting a course for eBay dummy like me for a nominal fee so that I can be the first to sign up
  10. Welcome! Have a smooth Reno journey:)
  11. Hi! Welcome! Your title caught my attention! Thot you r a guy with 4 kids and a queen:) Have a smooth Reno journey.
  12. Thanks. The Mummy has yet to get back her pre-preg weight and still stuck with a big tummy. Hope the exercise will help Thanks. My rooms' are Veneer doors. Think it about $280 or $300... Can't remember liao... Budget also can have 'swee swee' house. Just source for the right furniture to get the look u want:) Thanks. PM u liao... There are many good contractors/IDs in this forum. Off hand, I can think off are Donny (Mae29's one), Andrew (May_Dream) and Mr Yeak (My bro's tenant)... So just spend more time inviting them to quote.. Sure can one good one to do for u:)
  13. Wah.... May_dream good memory... Yah loh... I kept going back to Henry (Royal F) to change my stuff, from sink to tap and accessories. Countless times until they don't even need me to bring receipt, remember my name, blk and unit no by heart... So paiseh.... Csingeu, I will opt for opt 1. Cos your sink quite 'high' or deep and your wifey quite petite... Might have problem bending forward when pregnant... Maybe I think too far lah... But I used to have this problem during pregnancy in my previous flat....
  14. BTW, my boy is one today! No longer a baby but a toddler! Luv him to bits
  15. Thks:) I insisted on all black cos it's really low maintenance. Can't see dirt easily...Hee...hee...Glad that the effect is good afterall.... Thks... Me too...Mine is at the highest level hence the high ceiling.... But when comes to reno, u will get heart attack on seeing the quote..cos almost everything is 20% premium.. Electricial (I don't know y too... I thot only need a higher ladder), Painting (understandable... more paint I suppose), carpentry (more wood)...the list goes on... But having said all this, I'm still glad to have bought this unit..
  16. Too late cos the solid surface top is up. With this type of sink, the contractor need to cut the solid surface top and push the sink back so that there is no gap btween the wall then mount the mirror just above the sink. I nearly made this mistake too and Henry made us changed the sink when he saw my whatapps photo. To think that I quarrel with him on the phone over it as he kept saying I bought the wrong things without checking with him. My advice is to change to a top mount sink but u also then have to take note of the height of the tap liao if it is a top mount sink. Some top mount sinks do not have the hole for the tap and u might need to mount the tap on the solid surface top.
  17. Only the sides r white...still manageable... The bed supposed to be in my masterbedroom but i underestimate the length. Too long till it will hit my wardrobe if I were to place it there so now in the guest room.
  18. U mentioned that your family have been with your fsm for quite a number of years so I guess u guys have that level kind of trust already. I will give the hse a miss cos I don't want the 'What if' questions to haunt me when something were to happen. But indeed this is my first time that I heard a fsm stressed so much on the toilet...
  19. Oh it's the same Alan....Then don't think u have to worry much... I have yet to read anything negative about him... Safe hands We are also very lazy and only invited 3 to quote. Met only 2 of them. Since u are comfortable and Chemistry is there... think u don't have to waste your time to source for others to quote. Concentrate on the designs, tiles, colours, accessories, lightings u wld like to have... More fun than comparing quotes:) I miss the reno process thou it's very tiring...Have a smooth reno journey...
  20. Hi I also have the Flow sofa My package is Flow sofa, flow bedframe, flow side table, Amphibios coffee table and Manhatten dining set and of cse the bean bag Sofa is very comfortable but mine is the PVC leather...
  21. When my bro first came to my hse, he also lamented on the size of my 40" TV at the living room. He said my TV is too small for my big feature wall... I console myself by saying at least the few Ks I saved on the TV is still in the bank... In this world, it's the available balance in the bank account that matters... BTW, how's your rashes and asthma? Better? Take care yah....
  22. Paiseh...need to check on LOC metal cleaner. May I know where did u buy it from? Thks.
  23. Congrats! I read quite a few good reviews on Alan so your Reno shd be in good hands if u were to use him... If I remember clearly... Neubie's (not too sure if it's the same Alan lah) hse is also done by him and it's very beautiful and most importantly, cheap and quite good workmanship:)
  24. I'm one of those who paid $3k extra for extra album of photos so that the sample photos plus negatives (My era still using negative not digital hor) were returned to me. AND the two big stupid albums are indeed stuck in the storeroom! I shd have used the $3k for LV or Chanel bag.... Sigh....Yes, wise advice... don't top up for extra photos... no point... I'm the big carrot who had been chopped by the bridal shop...
  25. I bought all my lights from him. LED downlights is optiled superstar and normal $20 plus downlight using philip bulbs... But don't ask me the details/range/type... I don't remember... Below link is the lights I have previously shortlisted for my hse. I bought 'big bulb' in the end. All except 'Nest' are from citilights. 'Nest' is from lighting.com.sg. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=37541&view=findpost&p=613949
