Hahaha..... One big round world.

Hallo dean, I haven't tried the aircon installation. Can't give you comment. Gain city salesperson said the only good point ant starmex is: quietness. You don't mind noise, then save your money loh.

Cos the package is really good. Price $530 for hob n hood...... ;(

Oh.... My hubby just told me that we have applied for reno permit n hacking permit! Faint!

May_dream1 said: don't take too long also loh.. or else you will stress yourself to meet the deadline and stress the contractors too. ---- Okie, good news is now we are down to two contractors to choose. One is Sam @ S.A.I.D pte ltd. One is a relative of my hubby's boss. This weekend we will have to decide on one of them. Good thing that we don't have many carpentry work n no electrical wiring. Bad news: I also paid deposit @ heritage bathroom for hob n hood, hobz brand. Now I want to change to rinnai hob n fujioh hood. Can or not? Hix...

So Tough for you to take care of two kids n manage the renovation.. Super mother. Hope all will end well and you will celebrate the new home in time.

Pls share with me your curtain contact!!! Pls!! Pls!! Pls!! Thank you.

Hi.. Can I ask, where did you buy your kitchen counter lights? Look very nice.

Cos my parents wanna come to visit our new flat, and attend my daughter's first birthday party.. So I gotta get the Reno done by mid April! But hubby n I still slowly take time to discuss with our two short listed contractors... We die die don't want to be hurried to make decision!

How much is your dining light? Bright enough if not turning on down lights? Oh. Over the weekend we came to pickle n rail @ city square mall to look look see see. Now my husband falls in love with the famous designer dining chair. You bought yours in white or mix of many colors?

I saw your post on fb, so lazy going to renotalk to read. So your Reno is quite halfway through. mine no where near the starting point. Hahha.. but good thing is: we managed to meet two short listed contractors. Will decide on one of them soon. I am so happy... See our around.

Impressive!!! Pinkwhale, could I visit your flat to droollll at all these lovely details? Gosh, I adore your kitchen counter, makes me wanna change all my intended ideas for this industrial look.

Wah, so many days I didn't come to renotalk n so much happened! Good that you have your renovation started.. Mine is totally not even planned yet as still meeting more contractors. But seem like now I have a reno deadline to meet. Hum..

I met a group of Helping Hands @ my new flat last weekend, when they were doing their job. Asked n was told $280 per trip, will provide 20 carton boxes to us for packing. Haven't been able to ask for further details, like how they will move my current bed n chairs n tables? But they seemed to work very fast n quietly..

Really? Just one to put there? Not a pair? Can you explain the reason? Can work efficiently?

Wah...... So good contractor! I want him!

Slowly you will find items that fit your budget. Jia you. (we are all the same, question every price if it's expensive/ reasonable/ discounted)

I was told Blum soft closing is $15 per pair.

Hi hi... I am asking abt doors in Chling's blog leh. U said $100 for 3 sets, 3 door knob sets right? Not 3 doors right? I am looking for white doors only. U have any lobang?

Ikea soft closing is good, cheap as well.

Everything can have radiation. Previously I wanted to get a day-bed from Ikea for my daughter, it has a hidden rack to put extra mattress so I thought my mom could share the room with my daughter when she comes to visit us for a few days..then a billy bookcase from ikea for study room to store our book collection. But my dear hubby was too worried abt the MDF-chemical stuff that cause cancer, so he looked at product details and they r either all fiberboard or mixed solid wood with fiberboard which is in MDF family range... ---> I told him that every other furnitures also uses fiberboard as backing, then how? Don't buy wood-related stuff ah? Buy stainless steel furnitures? Like that, cannot get anything already n we will just put things on the floor, sit n do things on the floor to be safe. Still die in the end anyway. Ayo... I regret digging into this health conscious matter.

Thank you Takeyu. The GSN guy that visited my flat last weekend has suggested a quite nice route for aircon piping, to minimize the exposé trunking. Some parts could even put a bit of slanted angle to camouflage it like a shelf on the wall.. But due to his price, I was too shocked to realize these details. Seems like the prices of electrical things have increased after CNY. Hum...

My FIL loves his induction hob leh... Cook dinner daily for average 7 persons, living in a flat with 5 adults n 1 kids. Monthly pub bill is $300. We rarely use aircon though... Didn't know induction hob doesn't work for wok cooking. No wonder I have a hard time trying to use the wok..
