  1. Master Chang audited my resale 4 room flat months ago and are still answering my sms till today. I have moved in for 3 weeks already and things seems quite well but agree with StarB that it doesn't work magically 100%. There are many elements to consider especially if there are different ppl with completely different bazi under the same roof. For eg, my mom has strike 4D just last week but on another day, my husband sprained his ankle when playing soccer. Match one doesn't mean will match all... I also never follow his instructions fully so have no complaints as long as things are moving well now and family all getting along : ) *Peace* It all also depends on individual's expectation... how good is the good you want which you are not getting or how bad is it that you cannot tolerate? Do consider talking to him again if you still have doubts until things is right (if he is still giving you free consultation after the audit years ago then why not?). Otherwise, if things still don't work out as you have expected, go find another FSM ba, if it will make you feel better... Hope things will turn out well for you!
  2. Items from IKEA.;. more to come
  3. Hello! I didn't ask but my hb said that by looking at the pic (in post above) it seems like they were using cylinder.
  4. Went to Novena and finally decided to get our beds from them. 1 Queen size and 2 super single size Four Star storage beds with mattress at a bargain price of $3130. Initially wanted to get from Beds.sg but it turned out that Novena is cheaper overall and Four Star's quality should be better. They even threw in some freebies for us. So quite a good buy, I felt. Hopefully the delivery and installation will go well and on the date/time as fixed
  5. Oh dear! Did you manage to find him already? Go to his office otherwise CASE as advise by Suspender! Maybe something had happened to him? I really hope things will turn out well for you.... Take care ya!

  16. Site Visit Day Met 3 contractors today which took about 1.5hrs each. Very enthusiastic talking to the first one who have also contributed many of his own ideas. Second one - still felt good as he is very nice and easy to talk to, listen to us and provided resolutions according to our own ideas. Third one - abit "sian" liao cuz have repeated the same things twice already - some moments dun even feel like talking at all... perhaps also because he is like those "old bird - lao jiao" one, very experience, every now and then need to stop the discussion as he will sketched everything we discussed on pieces of paper - 3D one leh... Once stop, I really dun feel like continuing the conversation. But my man still ok, still talking to him even when he is sketching... HaHa! Will be getting their quotations over the next few days
  17. Thanks! Thanks! Your advise is always welcome...
  18. So happy for you! Yes... contractor's role and commitment is very impt... hope we could find a good one which can relate to and help us along
  19. Yup... If really hack storeroom then will have to learn live "neatly" without it le... Dining table already bought... the island is for fish tank as recommended by our FSM.. will see how the contractors proposed the layout of the kitchen (if they may) lor... seller allow us to go see the flat toml for site visit and to take measurement... meeting a few contractors too... will take photos of the original condition and measurements for our own reference
  20. Anyone heard of Jia Soon Renovation & Professional Carpentry - direct factory. Saw their contacts online and my man called this Mr Lee who is quite friendly and price is cheap. Any comments? Thanks!
  21. Will 4 weeks be enough to do simple reno for my resale 4rm as shown/mentioned above? Sellers are actually not staying there liao so have initially agreed to let us start reno in early May i.e. give us keys four weeks before completiong date but changed their mind yesterday. they said that a relative told them to charge rental, if no rent then shouldn't give us the key earlier. So ultimately, even when their agent explained that we are not staying there and have applied for the utilities under our name already, they did not want to give us access to the house four weeks earlier liao.. they will only let us have the keys two weeks before completion date. Fortunately, the buyer for my existing flat agreed to give us another two weeks after the completion date to clear the place. So total we will have four weeks to reno. Is 4 weeks enough? What should I do first? Where should i start? When to get electricians and painter in, separately? Have a few quotes from some contractors and ID liao but probably not using ID already due to low budget.
  22. Thanks for the great advise... This place is so cool.. I got alot of useful tips and advises here and talking to ppl in this forum which also help to de-stress.. haha! Yes... I always tell myself everything will be ok in the end one.. If it's not ok, then it's no the end yet ma... so must endure and try to enjoy!
  23. cool and neat... love the sitting area by the window - always my dream to have these also like how you place the cabinet in your mbr bathroom - a good example for my small bathroom... Thanks for sharing
  24. Yes Yes! But your question alerted me.. haha! If change the wc sure will affect the tiles one hor... Then would probably need to do the tiles... cus staying with 2 senior citizens, not good if they have to use the squat one... Haiz.. this reno thing is kinda stressing me out!!!
  25. My FM has advised us to place our bed beside the doorway of the toilet and to put up a full partition to block the toilet doorway - guess that'll do the trick
