Maybe by then we should consider moving to West area in future. We see the future development in there, can bring up the property prices too.

Am I missing out something?

Finally I see some photos. It's hard to visualise how it looks like when you narrate on your posts. Hehe..

Now the new Furniture Mall location is more convenient for people staying in the West area. I don't know when I will travel this far to go Toh Guan as the new location is really very far away from my place. Last time when I was a kid, I had only simple single mattress and a wood bedframe to sleep on. Nowadays kids are getting the luxury to sleep on good beds that cost more than $500 and above. So envy...

Wow, full laminate for the inner cabinets. You must have spent a lot of money. Looks like thin solid top is in the trend now?

Hi Elise. I am very sorry to hear your plight, and I feel that it is partly my fault for increasing readers' expectations on Defong too. We should have been more frank when updating our blog, but we restrain from doing so, because Defong is watching over our blog. Every single comment I made, our contractor will use it to "suan" us. There was a point when I broke down and decided not to speak to my contractor anymore. That was when we wanted to discuss about the design of the kitchen cabinet. As I mentioned earlier, Defong is not an ID, though they put their name cards as ID, they are actually a coordinating contractor only. Basic drawings they know how to draw, but they can't design for you. My kitchen cabinet design came from Valerie, and with the help of others like May, NeoBY, Hubby, etc. That is something good about T-blog as everyone is very helpful and will share their thoughts and ideas with you. For those who really want to engage Defong, just a gentle reminder again. They are not Interior Designers, they are just coordinating contractors. If you are looking for interior designers, don't look for Defong. As what happened to your house Elise, I am really sorry to hear that. Defong might be receiving a lot of projects now, and they should be frank with you or other homeowners currently how many projects they are handling, so homeowners can decide if to engage them or not. They should have work ethical, and not making themselves overloaded with renovation projects yet can't do well in other people's renovation works. Quality that counts, not quantity. If Defong continues to give crappy worksmanship, how to introduce customers to people? How to maintain our blog here? We will also be indirectly involved in scamming homeowners to sign with Defong too. Elise, if you browse back a few pages of our blog, you should see that our hollow bricks are covered with cement first before plastering If directly plastering on hollow bricks, I'm not sure what is the consequences. Maybe the wall will have more crack lines. Our wall has two layers - cement and plaster - already got crack lines. I expect more crack lines will form if direct layer with plaster on hollow bricks.

It's my personal viewonly. People give me problem, I give them problem too. They did not receive letters, that's their problem, not mine. It's not my letter, i throw away because they give me problem first. I won't have the time to go to post office or the nearest mail box to drop their letters. For such homeowners, I would not even want to see them after they move out. If they don't turn nasty, I also won't do the same.

Yes, change the letter box lock too. And throw their letters into the bin

Feel so sorry for you after seeing what you have posted. Don't get so worked up, let them enjoy for the last 4 days. If they don't move out or try to be funny, report to the police. Make sure they don't leave anything behind otherwise they will find lots of excuses to come back again. Seriously speaking, sometimes I also don't understand why some people want to sell the house but can't bear to leave the house. If they really love the house that much, don't sell it then.

Hi there. Thank you for visiting our blog. I have pm-ed you. Yes, the leaking issue has resolved. Hubby unscrewed the hook hanger, and fill the hole and grout line with silicon. So far no leakage, but still monitoring. Recently there is no heavy rain, so we can't see if the water has leak in or not.

Nice! Remember to post the chair picture. I love yellow and pink combo. They definitely match very well together. If you can't own a yellow kitchen, maybe buy bright yellow appliances to match?

Why not? Yellow and pink look so hot!

Yucks! Now I understand what is Laki. So disgusting. You should have changed all the windows.

Yeah, I think so too. Daring attempt. And of course, brazilian laminate laying in horizontal way looks much more nicer than vertical way. Good choice.

Maybe he is referring to lacquer stain?

Wrong statement. I still visit T-blog often to read others' blogs. This gives me inspirations and ideas to add more details into my current home, or prepare myself if I decide to buy another new place. My hubby and I were not really very prepared for the renovation, neither did we know what renovation is about until we experienced it. So we said we must know everything, so the next renovation we will be more alert and be more decisive what we really want to have for our new home.

Is that brazilian wood laminate?

Wow wow... make out on your bed!! What is the program name? Can't wait to see in Sep.

You are right. My contractor is Kevin. I met Jeremy on one occasion when he visited my house and I was there during the renovation. Thank you for liking my house and visited my blog. I wish you have a smooth renovation. Keep it up (your blog)! Awaiting for your updates

Hi there! Congrats in getting your new home. We share the same renovation firm.

Aaaaa... if it is downlight, I don't know how it works. But if it is ceiling lights, I know how to remove.

Congrats moving in! Your washer base so narrow in terms of the depth, I'm afraid the washer may drop out as Samsung washer vibrates really hard. I got the top load, it is not very noisy, but when the washer spins dry clothes, there is a loud vibrate and squeak sound, then it turns silent.... I found my washer shift its position itself.

Hopefully the line will not appear again. We may not want to put wallpaper. It consumes a lot of time and effort to paste the wallpaper. Moreover, a small can of paint is still cheaper than wallpaper. Hi, I have pm-ed you. If you are looking for ID, mine is definitely not what you are looking for. They are more of a contractor than an ID.

The house looks pretty now.

Hubby bought a small tin of paint and touch up the crack lines. Now can't see the crack lines, hopefully when the paint is dried, the crack lines will not show up again
