Hi, sister Adi Congrats & wishing you a smooth & successful reno journey! Will be camping here for reno progress pictures and updates.

Hi, sister Ely I have been stalking behind your blog admiring your beautiful house in silence! Really like all the decorations and furnitures in the house!! I can't help myself but to praise it openly here! It is truly one of the best renovated homes I have ever seen in this forum!!! I hope I do have a chance to visit you and your beautiful home after my China trip.

Hi, BlackCookie Thank you for sharing the information. I didn't know it will cause the clothes to become moudly or stink!! Yuk yuk yuk!!! I used to wash all the old clothes once in while to get rid of the stinky smell, no matter how clean I washed them (I always use fragrance softener for each wash)!! Nowadays, I try to leave the wardrobe doors slightly ajar and I am packing up all unworn & old clothes to leave more space in between the clothes in the wardrobe.

Sister May_dream1 We are in the same boat I also cannot take alcohol!! But I simply love rum & raisin ice-cream, rum cakes, chocolates, etc.

Hi, sister Seems like you are getting alot of purchases already. We have LG side-by-side fridge and Sealy mattress, although different models.

Dear Brother Congrats! Finally the reno is completed and you have moved in!! The sofa looks just nice for your living room! I like the look and design of the sofa too! Swee!!

I have one full wall in my son's room installed by De Next Page. Price wise, I can say is cheaper than Goodrich, but workmanship from De Next Page is not so good. Goodrich installer sent 3 men to install the wallpaper of my Living Room; but for De Next Page, it is OMO - One man Operation!! Perhaps this is the reason why the workmanship is no good, with gaps and uneven cut. But overall, De Next Page has a wide selection as TS mentioned. The wallpaper turns out nicely for my son's room though!! WallPaper from De Next Page

Just last week, while I was talking to my youngest son, he asked me if I ever strike in an lottery. I told him that I trust my instinct and if I buy any number, I usually will win a small prize!! I have such small luck in my life..... Then he asked if I have bought any numbers recently, and I replied "NO" as I can't think of any number to buy yet. My son then points to the wall decal (inspired by friends78) on the sliding doors of the store room which I put up recently. He said since this is the newest set of number in the house, why not I bet on this 1889. Since, it was badly misaligned, I told myself OK, let's bet on this number and if I win, I can tear down and replaced the decal. So, there it is!! Bingo!! I strike $400 in Sunday's draw!! I usually buy ibet and for 3 draws in a row...win or not, that's IT!! No more second bet as I am not an addict gambler and will drop the numbers if it does not strike!! The decal on the sliding doors: The winning ticket:

LOL Seems like most guys' hair will be wavey when grows long. Actually my youngest son' hair is also wavey at the tip, but he uses a hair straigthener and had a mini rebonding weeks ago. He is now waiting for NS enlistment, so for the time being, he can pamper his hair before it becomes 'botak'.

I had my previous air con installed by Gain City and you know what? They stashed newspapers inside the trunking and for the past 10 years prior to my recent renovation, I had replaced 4-5 compressors and upteem times repairing the FCU!! I had a topic in this forum discussing my experience with GC's poor workmanship!! Infact, my ID had also warned me about using GC's services due to similar bad experience. That's why I have no hesitation when he recommended me a reliable source.

Brother You also made the right choice. For asthetics reason, it is nicer to have the pipes boxed up! But, but, but, these pipes are used by upstairs Neighbour which we do not have a control over their use & maintenance. The last time when I replaced that U pipe, the whole piece of pipe was covered with junks inside the core!!! When the pipe got choked, they will start digging & poking!!!

Brother csingeu I hope you feel better & get well soon!! Yes, I am lucky that my ID is really good & responsible from day -1 until today!! Agree with you that Brother RB can be our Technical advisor so that we can pick some skills from him. But I know I only need to open my mouth & my hardworking & reliable ID can arrange any work for me.

Brother RB Thank you for reminding me. I have called TC but still waiting for reply. During discussion, I knew they can only act on it sometime next year when they erected the scalfolding for repainting.

Brother Yes, it is under warranty period!!

Sister Marshy I read from your other post that you have been unwell! Hope you are getting better now! Oh, my son is inspired by a famous Japanese pop group!! Can't remember the name of this group he mentioned to me.

It surprised me when my receptionist told me someone sent me a HAMPER!!! OMG!!! It is from our sister sleek here!!! I sent her the FS report for her furniture layout & colour theme from my work email address yesterday, and today, she sent me this hamper!!! Sister, Thanks a Million, it really warm my heart!!! Front view of the hamper: Back view of the hamper:

Brother It is really a very nice piece!!! I do not have freedom of colour choice due to FS restrictions!!! Else, I will change my doors to a darker shade!!

Brother Kobelala Wow wow wow!!! The lights installed in your house are really beautiful! I can't wait to see the completed & moved in pictures, and be there to see them with my own eyes!!

Brother Weather is no good - rain & shine in between! You got to relax & take good care of your health, as your chart did reveal Water & Earth Elements contamination. That's why I asked you to change your MBR bed to face one of your favourable direction. I also fell sick for past 2 weeks already!! I know I will get well just in time for my China trip, after Jul 7 when Sickness star 2 leaves my bedroom!! Arghhh!!! Brother RB Yup, my trip involved flying from city to city in China!!

Remember the dangerous weapon my youngest son bought recently? On the day when he bought back the Sword, I took some pictures and you can now have a glimpse of my youngest son, who is a very private person!! From Face Reading, my youngest son has the best feature (the 5 Officers we so called for Face Reading) among my 3 children and you can see from the first picture the prominent nose from side view.... Can imagine the length of this Japanese Sword!!! [/url With the stand... There is another sword he bought few days later.....

Aiyoyo!! Sister sister here, don't say that leh! I know my destiny well...my chart revealed that I will be meeting one billionaire, really, but not in the so near future!!! I will update in my blog on when and how I derive my destiny in search of rich ah pek ok? I know I will be busy travelling from end of next week, and will be MIA for weeks.... For your fs report, I will finish the report and email you by this week!!

Around the same time in May, I was surprised to notice water ponding in my mini-garden. I suspect it was from the U-drainage pipe which was replaced 12 years ago. At that time, the upstairs neighbour tried to poke & damaged the choked pipe, while my maid was cooking next to the sink area. She had to throw away the food she had cooked. For the recent incident, when I touched the pipe, there is no sign of water leaking from the U-pipe. After few days of observation, finally let me witnessed it on one evening!! I saw the water was gushing out from the air vent, splashing like powerful water jet!! I immediately go upstairs and asked that neighbour to call the plumber from TC to fix the problem, and they foot the bill because I didn't ask them to share the cost of previous replacement. I was also frustrated when the plumber told my son, who was at home when they came to clear the choked pipe upstair, that nothing be done at my side because there is no water leaking from the U-pipe!! I was getting mad and immediately stopped my tasks at work, rushed home and scolded the plumber STUPID!!! What I want them to do, is to seal up the air vent as it had already burst opened, not the drained pipe connection!! After my lashing out at them, the plumber did as instructed, and sealed up the air pipe as seen in the picture: Luckily I didn't box up the ugly pipe!!! Can you imagine the hassle cleaning up the mess??

A few months back, I mentioned about the bubbled plastering on the wall in our living room. I also mentioned that my ID left the firm and joined another company. But he still arranged for the plaster guy to return to re-do the wall plastering for me. Here are the progress photographs which I managed to get another card reader to download them!! 1st Picture - Can see the exposed concrete after they scrapped off the plasters? OMG!! I didn't know we had water seepage from the external HDB wall which is the root cause of the bubbled plastering!!! 2nd Picture - I asked the plasterer guy to scrap off the whole wall, not just the affected area, and he did so to my satisfaction. 3rd Picture - Then, I texted my ID asking if I could ask the plasterer guy to touch up the gaps along the aircon trunking, which he promptly agreed and asked the guy to seal up for me. I have yet to ask them back to re-paint the affected wall, as my bedroom is not suitable for renovation in month of 6-Jun to 6-July due to presence of sickness star #2. I will have to wait until my China trip, perhaps in August.

Brother, Drexter Is it for your entertainment room? Not sure of this brand, but I am using the "York" brand.

Hi, Hi Thank you for visiting my blog. I will send you his contact details. But I understand he is very busy this week with handling over of his neighbours new flats at AMK, as well as renovation to his brother and his own new flats around the same time!! I guess he will have more time once these projects are completed around this week.
