hi rim block..enjoyed reading the 1st few pages of your blog..no thanks to the slow connection where i am now... great read!

so when is the next available auspicious date for shifting in?

shucks..sorry to hear abt that Ivy...must have been fustrating... had a similar experience with the ID who did my parent's house 3 yrs ago...was supposed to renovate 3 toilets and the kitchen..dad asked how long it will take..ID said 3 weeks. ok..3 weeks it shall be..it will be done in stages so we could still stay in the house while they worked on it... 3 weeks became 3 months! #@%$!$&%!@#!^%@%*!@&)(*! caused us so much fustration and inconvenience! and the plug which held up the shelving in my wardrobe gave way just holding the weight of the shelf! WTF?! call the fella..he never picked up the phone again... my parents didnt pursue the matter further because they didnt want to make their own blood boil... if me..i make sure he get it from me jia lat jia lat x 100!

60cm a bit tight for walking bro...i mean...still can walk past lah..but your upper body got to be quite stiff for you to walk past it if you know what i mean... cant reduce the width of the wardrobe to have more allowance to walk? storage space for me is the more the merrier lah...i even went to the extent of raising my whole master bedroom floor for storage good luck in deciding bro...

i recently bought some philips FBG305 downlights from a shop..RRP is $45 (even lightings.com.sg) but i got it for $43.. not much..but when you buy quite a few of it..it turns out to be a tidy sum of money.. PM me if you want to know the shop location..not sure if i can share it here..

if you got the need and the space for it..why not? afterall its your house..your money..if you feel comfortable..who is to say anything? Peace.

i was never a curtain person and i have more or less decided to go for roller blinds... personally i find curtains bulky and messy...roman blinds are not bad..but i prefer the roller blind materials... not too convinced that roman blinds can remain "folded" after time...

im more worried about another fengshui cure that i must get...a ceramic/clay vase! did you see a lot at nature co or far east? those that are good looking enough for display without flowers?

wont sprinkle lah...haha...simple design...just let the water flow down..nice!

ahh..icic... the fountain which i posted earlier is below $400 if i didnt remember wrongly.. if mix & match is too expensive..then i will buy that liao.. im hoping to have a fountain with a rather big base (more water mah!) but a narrow top because it will be in the way when i hang clothes outside...

the things can be bought ala carte right? as in..im free to mix & match right? $990? wah...that kind of price can buy a nice ready-made fountain liao lor... how are the round bowls on top secured ah?

wah...not cheap! but nice work i must say... i shall go take a look at nature co im back...

wow...looks mighty good i must say! everything was assembled DIY? how much did everything cost?

all leathers need a bit of care lah... once in a while need to use upholstery cleaner to clean & leather care to wipe it to ensure the leather is moisturised...especially in our kind of weather.. if you can find leather care..just walk to the car care section. they sure have some leather care products there... i find their mattress excellent value for money too....my cousin's mattress is still firm after 8yrs... their sofa i dont know yet..but i ordered mine from them lah...fingers crossed its worth the money...paid abt $660 for a 3 seater...

gaping hole needed for the piping... look at the size of the conduit!

piping for the living room blower..

now you see it...... now you dont!

the air con people came yesterday to do my air con piping... in anticipation for the 2 compressors...

haha..i certainly hope it turns out well! sadly..i ran out of budget for the eubiq system..sigh...although i would like to have it very much..

agreed bro. the only thing that comes cheap & good in sgp is food in hawker centres and kopitiams! haha.. i have always preferred stainless steel over brass..the plating just wont last long...

agreed! i went there on my off day looking for a sink...and that PRC staff saw me wear berms..thinking i got no money..kao! ask her questions..she like not very interested to answer me.. in the end i got my sink from adamas...that PRC guy was much nicer!

i remember seeing such systems before...behind safra those factories... its not cheap...but it looks **** nice & functional.. you can try to go search around...

my parents have been using their Rheem storage heater for 23 years now..is that considered good? haha.. other popular brands include Joven..Ariston... see which fits your budget lah..shouldnt be that lousy..

i feel for you bro... im also a victim of weird HDB designs...putting my bomb shelter door inside my kitchen when its already so small! shld have made the door to open on the passageway leading to the rooms..

haha..thanks for the compliment! i cant wait to use it also!
