hahaha... then you better don't be there. Haven't enjoy your new home then get blood vessels bursting is not good sign. go have a good shower to cool down

photos can't really tell how good is the quality of the aluminium leh. you got to touch it to know whether its good quality or not. just like buying pots and pans, you will know when you hold the pots in your hand whether its good quality stainless steel. there are some weight to it and the thickness is there. The same for the windows.... the hdb provided aluminium is at least 5mm thick while the new white powder coated is only like 2mm thick. I decided to change kitchen and MBR because 1) Kitchen's windows is full of oil and grime which totally look so ugly. I am not sure cleaning will make any difference so just change loh 2) The windows glass are dark in colour, which i don't like. i prefer tinted green. So i changed to new windows. The weird thing is, for living room and other bedroom, the windows are clear glass, not dark tinted like MBR. I don't understand why HDB have 2 type of glass windows.

congrats in moving in. Mark managed to get everything done for you? how many trips you made in the end?

ya loh, diy loh... cannot depends on yr contractor liao

no goodwill at all? aiyoh.... then you might as well ask them to repaint both. I don't really like it leh... can see it too obvious once you step into the toilet.

hi hi, thank you for visiting my blog. Been a while since someone comes in to view it. hehehehe.... i will pm you andrew's number. then you can give him a call. he is ok with small budget, as long as there are good rapport. cj07 reno was less than $20k but Andrew did his as well.... you can go have a look at what has been done to his flat. i like his TV console

already pm-ed you. check your mailbox

i know... my colleague told me too. but i already bought a pot.... maybe if this pot dies on me lah. hopefully not!

i prefer SBH tiles... more choices.... and they allow the change even though it has been delivered and then tiler realised its uneven. old aluminium is really better... too bad that he is not bringing you to my place. then i can show you the difference between old and new cos i didn't change some windows and i change some. hehehehe...

if the company is gst registered, then you have to pay gst. its depends on the company whether they want to opt out of gst or not. only those less than 1mil sales per year can opt out. those above, have to be registered. no choice. to check whether its gst registered, get the gst registration number. each company have 2 registration number, for for Registry of Companies and another is GST registration.

yes yes.... remember to take photos to show us

then i don't know why..... maybe i am really lousy in planting. hopefully my orchid will not die on me so soon.

Have fun renovating!

white or near white lah... cream also ok... mine is cream white kind of colour. goes well with the tiles so not so obvious.

definitely look nice leh..... hhhmmm....... but if the photo resolution is better, then can see more clearly. the colour looks the same like mine too. hehehehe.....

cockroaches can fly... it might fly in from downstairs.

hehehehe... i don't go temple to pray. then i hope you will find a suitable one soon lah.

i thought that was grey tiles. hahahahaa.... something different bah that's why this was suggested. single colour would be more "spacious" feel.

of course can die.. mine die too.

i don't think there is any brown tiles in the kitchen. if you mean the left of the drawing, i think that is the laminate to the living room.

go to lam chuan website lah... see whether they have anything similar. you are so lucky. buy flat and going to do reno also can go so many countries for holiday. i didn't go holiday last year and this year leh.

really? mine also in a pot... nicely put properly with stones etc... only $45 leh. that is already more ex loh.. if can get for $20+ then buy nicer pot, maybe less than $40? hahahaha... not much different lah i guess. ya, orchid cannot wrap in flower wrappers... will spoilt the image. i also have the same problem.... cactus also died before under my hands. hopefully the orchid will be longer lasting lah. hehehehe.....

wah!! what a long holiday!

yup, i know. i already post on my fb abt it too. hahaahahh..... sengkang and punggol 5 rooms are quite ex cos its newer. but hope that you will be able to find a good place soon.

find the right contractor, and get the right price! good lah.... its tiring but its worth it lah... hehehe...
