As per advice of my FSM, I will be getting a low display cabinets for crystals & placed at the 'bicycle planter' to act as buffer to slow down incoming Qi from main entrance to avoid crashing the person seating on the sofa.

Final complete photograph: The last piece of furniture for the complete home renovation...the customised 1.8mL 3-seater fabric safa in the LivingRoom, without the right arm rest as it is near to the Main entrance.

Yes, the interior of store is painted in Greystone. I guess the yellowish is due to cove lights reflected from somewhere... This picture shows the made ready interior shelves, but I have since extended the top shelf to reach the end of shoe cabinet.

It is based on my BaZi.... As for this Metal Rabbit, it is also based on the BaZi of 4 Feb-2011. So, this year, there will be lots of $$$ in the economy...

My completed White Kitchen Cabinets & store room... Link to my complete kitchen makeover:

The bedframe for my youngest son was bought from X'Clusive Home with LaContessa mattress which will now be delivered in March 2011. I had similar bedrame for my second son, from Sealy. If I were to compare both bedframes, I would say the one you saw in picture for my youngest son, from X'Clusive Home is better in terms of design and quality. Infact, one year ago, when I bought my KingSize Sealy + bedframe, I had a big argument & complained to Sealy HQ as the quality & workmanship were very lousy. When I re-visited Sealy @ IMM recently for my new purchases, the sales staff remembered well the incident and told me they have changed the contractor for the bedframes. Still, I find the bedframe from X'Clusive Home is far better!

Wow CoffeeMan You MIA for so long...... For the shoe cabinet, I am only concerned if full height shoe cabinet is placed near the Main entrance. For us, it is at the side entrance, and the facing of the shoe cabinet is away from us when we walked in to the kitchen foyer. Moreover, the top level of the shoe cabinet will be used for keeping the socks & polishers/brushes. On that dramatic day of our Move, and YES, sometimes things do turned out in our favour....when the lift was ready, it was already 5.04pm which is my favourable timing for the move....and I am just very lucky!

I have just hooked up M1 voice line & start using the home telephone line to chat with friend. It seems like voice quality is clear but there is echo behind our conversation. Further, there is a 'waiting time' of 8-10 seconds before I can hear my friend talking. Not sure if this is due to Philips telephone set or M1 service.

2011 is Metal Rabbit Year. I am a strong Yin Fire person so this Xin (Yin metal) is my Indirect Wealth! Hopefully it will bring me Wealth luck in 2011! Must buy TOTO now!

I think this 'pammie po" is trying to advertise for that ID here...who will believe if there is no proof / reno blog to substantiate for reference check? If you check under this nick "pammie po", out of 3 posts made, all of them mentioned that ID firm including one in my reno blog...so, the bottomline is this forumer is self-advertising..

Like most furniture stores, discounts are 'all year round'! They will give you special price or discount when buy from them. It does not make any difference in prices, as I believe if I walk in to their store now, I will buy the dining set at the same price during their sales of upto 70% off!

Hi, CoffeeMan I like this greeting! Guess what? I was at Genting Highland over the weekend and for the first time in my life, make some 'big' $$$ from the slot machines! The windfall was from the free spins during the Bonus retriggered from this slot machine. Each time, there are 15 free spins and this was retriggered for like 5 -6 times during the free spins, with so many eyes watching me because the casino staff had stopped the row of slot machines to exchange the cashboxes, and all players were standing beside watching me and the slot machine to stop spinning! Another slot machine which helps me WIN is this one...

..... the RATs wil be prosperous this year because the Bazi chart of Metal Rabbit needs water! HUAT AH!

I had my palm reading by famous Astro-palmist Master Khor. According to him, the lines on our palm changes over time, and it is best to have another palm reading 6 months later for an update of events.

As for the favorable stars, sector NW has auspicious Star 8. Most of you will probably use water to activate the good sector especially when there is Star 8. However, we need to be mindful when we use water in NW. This is because there is presence of Earth element in one of the 3 sub-sectors in NW.

On house Feng Shui in 2011, I have started to place cure in those sectors negatively affected by inauspicious stars in Metal Rabbit year. The important area I need more attention is my MBR, as negative star 5 Yellow resides in East segment of the house this year! I have placed my son dumbbell in my bedroom, in addition to lots of metallic ornaments. The next important sector I need to take care of will be the South where illness star 2 resides. Again, lots of metallic items placed in strategic location.

1st day of CNY is almost gone.... Hope you all have Huat Huat Chye!!! I sincerely wish all a blissful & properous Lunar New Year of the Metal Rabbit 2011!

My first night after moving back to our 'new' house: The totally 'black-out' night & day curtains at MBR....As per advice of my fsm, I must installed those heavy, black-out curtains as my feet are pointing to the window when I sleep at night.

I am also using BLUM runners for all drawers and hinges for doors: Here are some of my progress photographs of the installation in progress. My kitchen...

The modified TV console.... Finally managed to get my son to hook-up the TV...leftover is mummy's job to tie-up the loose cables underneath the TV console...and get some help to connect the amplifier & speakers. Will be getting a sound bar as the old sound surround system does not fit in to the theme. I have to call for service to check the TV next week; the TV set was alright on first day, but now, when it is switched on, the power will automatically cut off after one minute. Dun know what's gone wrong with our Sharp Aquo TV....my son tested the power supply using his electric guitar & he told me nothing wrong with the electric supply, so it must be the TV which might have damaged during the move. ....and the tight walking space between TV console & dining table! That's why we have to orientate the chairs & placed them in such a way which will not obstruct the walkway.

Hi, May Xin Nian Hao! Wishing you in good health, good wealth & good spirit all the time throughout the Metal Rabbit year! ...and also a smooth reno as it looks like your planning for renovation will start anytime after CNY, with more than a month for your ID/contractor selection process right?

Final complete photographs - Dining area The marble round table with 4 white chairs. Supposed to get the oblong table to match the design theme, but I have to listen to the advice of my feng shui master. Also ended up with 4 bulky chairs (see earlier post on how & why these chairs were selected) instead of 6 normal chairs, due to space constraints. The crystals chandelier at dining area with plastic wrappers not removed yet: Once the wrappers are removed, this is the effect... ...with LED lights switched on: ...with warm lights switch on:

To all my friends here I like to wish everyone a Happy & Prosperous Lunar Year of Metal Rabbit!

The long awaited internet connection is up today! Perhaps we are among the earlier batch of users of fibre broadband....and my children commented the super fast download speed! For those of you who are considering to subscribe to M1 fibre broadband, please note the 8 working days leadtime for your application.

We are the luckier ones! We have installed M1 fibre broadband & my children have started using the Internet. Comments from my sons that downloading speed is super fast!
