Serious, like this cheap already meh?? hahahaha...i was thinking its abit ex. Which brand you have? how much is urs? Since u bought already must fully utilise mah...lugi leh.

Hi Sis May, you have one also? Is there any improvement of your health after taking alkaline water? I bought mainly of the health benefits it will bring. I bought at $1888 think the price is fixed. Even with promo, they throwing in more freebies only. Better then dun have hehehe...

My common tile will be using white grouting for my white brick tile. Guess white brick tile is really in nowsday. Even my contractor is also puzzled why suddenly so popular...

During the weekend, purchased this alkaline water machine, JUPITER ALPHION in a roadshow. Heard about the benefits of alkaline water many times and decided to get one for good health reason. Not sure how true it is...hehehe.. Now have to ask Donny to do a pipe split for my water outlet.

Last Sat was a very frustrating day. Sat morning, Donny called me and told me that my neighbour complained to HBD of my Reno. So no choice his workers had to stop work. Luckily, i'm not urgent to move in if not really @#$#@@#. Then came another event, I was kenna stood up by this Bamboo blind company. We confirmed the appointment, but that feller never turns up. WTF!!! People never ever deal or even call this company, Bamboo-Blinds-Pte-Ltd. Total waste of my time, waited for them 2hrs.

Common toilet with tile sample Drawing of the wet kitchen area by my ID Donny for the tiler. I will not have backsplash as its too expensive for me to have around my wet kitchen so i will use tile instead. This is the draft 3D for the tiler. Preview for you guys. Donny gotten his drafter to do this up just for the tiler to ensure the tiler fully understand. This is not the final 3D for me. Feel is there though. Donny is really hardworking, when i called him at 930pm he is working on this 3D with the drafter.

Walls will be built to seperate this area Rubbish chute removed. Invitation for "xiao qiang"???

Tiles are here. Hollow blocks for wet and dry kitchen wall

Kitchen area This wall will be hacked off ....actually its already gone. Living room windows. Looks like those houses after war.

Hacking Hacking started and within a day almost everything gone. So fast. The whole house looks disfigured..hahaa..hardly recognisable. Somehow feeling a bit sad and "heart pain" to see all these things gone; have been seeing them for almost year so have some feeling. Sands are here. Holes on balcony wall for water proofing and window grilles gone. Looks so much brighter. Master bathroom toilet

Hi, nice for you to drop by. We went to Defu lane one, its much bigger then the balestier one.

The following day, the tiles are here.

My reno officially started last Tuesday. My ID really fast and efficient. Just after i confirmed, he quickly gotten all his subcon at my place to discuss my balcony issue, things to hack and wiring. He worked really fast; have to ask him to slow down abit for me to catch up hahaha... So we settled all the key things to do for hacking and wiring all at once. Everyone is in sycn...which is good...less chance of miscommunication. Next is the tile selection. I already have my own design concept so thinking this should be pretty fast. We spent a few hours at hafarry but only managed to shortlist a few tiles. Most the nicer tiles (at affordable range) are all out of stock. No choice so told my ID, we will look elsewhere for the tiles. The next day, we went to balestier and pretty quickly gotten all the tiles i needed. Should have come here first as there are a number of tile shops here so its easiler to shop for the right tile.

This will be the center piece in my foyer. Moooi....

Here are some of the defects left or rather deliberately covered by the courtesy of previous owner! The "PONDING" after it rain. This was the initial stage.....It gotten worst in later. The non-waterproofed plaster cracked at balcony wall unveiling horrible non-finished wall. Need to spend extra money to fix the whole balcony....

Haha..thanks bro...the pictures good nice nia. Actually lot of defects when you zoom into it. I have to keep the flooring to keep the reno cost down. Keep the marble and the parquet. Kitchen and bathrooms will be redo. Ya..lor ...that's why my title is super overdue reno...hahaha. Yup...my balcony all the grilles gone..looks so much brighter but not child safe now. Will post the picture later. I will turn the balcony into a garden cum chill out area. Hi Reiki. Thanks. its about 145sqm and the balcony itself already takes out much of the area haha.

Wow..u have lot of robots to do the cleaning.....so HI TECH. Ya...after reading the reviews and sales tactic of delphin and rainbow, i will definitely not approaching them. Most probably go with Karcher. They have a steam vacuum, SV1902, anyone used that before? The function seems impressive. Can mop and vacuum (wet/dry).

Hehehe...ya..i think only some of the HDB built in that era has this design. The location is good but comes at a high price. No choice, since its near mrt and my parent place....take it as a form of investment lor (just to make me feel better only! )

Sighzzz....Nice but i have to take them all down...due to the problematic, non water proofed wall. Previous owner used cheap, non water proof plaster to cover around it. Water leak into the house when it rain and the wall plaster kept falling off...this is my biggest problem. Which why i said its my love and hate.

Near ur place.....
