yea i'll probably do that after i get this weekend's photos. i already rotated the photos on my pc then uploaded them, then they all went back to unrotated.. sigh... thanks for the advice and i really hope photobucket is better.. lol..

i seriously hate imageshack. 20 mins spent rotating the images, and they don't show up as rotated when im logged in. Now the thumbnails here are properly rotated, but the big image isn't... just what is wrong with it?

Time flies.. Its over a month since i updated my T-blog. Well, i have finally decided to settle with Summit Design and renovation works have started since last Monday, but only had time to sneak a peek last night. Pretty good progress i would say. The flooring is almost all done, except 1 bedroom, balcony and all the skirting. Window films have all been removed and i should say, the windows never looked better! no more bedroom doors, no more bathroom doors, no more kitchen door, even my main door has been dismantled for tiling purposes.. lol.. Photos coming up in the next few posts.. night shoot with a lousy iphone camera though.. Must try for a day shoot this coming weekend.. hehehe

ah... back from a week without updates.. received 2x quotations today.. one from wifey's friend contractor, colours creation, and another from my boss's ID, De Marque Espace surprisingly this contractor is rather expensive, first rough quote @ 32k.. boss ID feels extremely professional and efficient @ 30k, so tempted to sign on with them, but its a 5k difference from the one i wanted to get previously.. boss says this ID has done all his previous homes, and even his office and he's very satisfied hence recommend to me... but 5k is still 5k.. dilemma : is it worth 5k more to get a known reliable ID, or to take my chances to save this 5k for a home that i have to stay for a minimum period of 5 years... sigh.. i need more opinions!!

Update on IDs! Joy, previously from Space Defined, has left the company and will be joining a main contractor company starting next week.. no idea what company yet.. But apparently she has done up some previous works as an ID. She does give a pretty good impression, being very efficient and stuff, but there's always the worry of the carpentry and work quality of her new company. We shall wait and see. Alexis from Summit Design Studios has come up with a very nicely priced revised quotation, although still need to revise one more time. Their showroom layout is pretty decent, managed to see a very nice 180degree casement glass door for our kitchen entrance.. hehe i'll say that they are the first company to be shortlisted! Yay~ Just 2 more contractors to go and hopefully we'll be able to make a decision soon enough. Must finish renovation and deliver new furniture/appliances and move in before lunar 7th month.. Feels like a long time more before 10th August, but worried about delays.. That's all for today~

sure thing! But does your direct contractor do other works as well i.e like a main contractor? Im looking for someone who can manage the whole scope of works.. Could you please pm me your contractor? TIA

is this the peak period now? i thought the peak period ended with CNY... hmm..

Hi Zhiz, Can share what tiles u use for the living room? It looks really well done and can't notice the gap! coz im looking for a cheaper alternative .. hehe.. TIA Louis

Looks like meeting with Kennedy from Earnest Interiors didn't bring about any surprises.. Kinda disappointed as he feels slightly uninterested about the budget reno.. prob coz he can't do designs.. Doesn't have good in-depth knowledge in my opinion too.. Ah well, Joy from Space Defined Interior coming up tomorrow! We shall see, we shall see.. The search for the budget renovation ID/Contractor shall end this week! Really hope i can get a decent price for the works i want to do so i can just settle once and for all..

haha thank you hopefully can get a nice and cheap and good contractor/ID.. Good luck sourcing for one too! hehe

o.O why'd they paint the main door for? shouldn't it be revarnished instead? hmmm.. and at least you have the option to keep the tiles if you like them.. hehe, if not then no choice have to hack away.. $$$ fly away~

yup sale of balance flats it is. Did u manage to see the photos of the flat interior? What u see should be what u get .. although i was hoping for another unit, but queue no.9 so .. at least we got ourselves a flat
