We see the danger of installing ceiling fans at home, so we avoid. We never know when we will raise up our hands, forgotten about the ceiling fans, and that's it - fingers gone. The weird thing about HDB is, my parents' home is just 2 carparks away, but the ceiling is higher than ours. They can install normal ceiling fan. Even if we raise up our hands, we can't touch the ceiling fan. HDB didn't standardize their ceiling heights.

Finally "重建光明". Haha.. Nice ambience. The 桃花 will happen on you or your hubby?

Haha... Then I must 6 fans at home. Haha... Recently the weather is very hot. Need more fans to cool the house. How I wish I can have ceiling fans, but the ceiling is too low. Anyone with height 1.8mtr fingers can be snapped off if we have ceiling fan at home.

Low demand, price higher. If I'm consumer, I won't know petrol kiosks selling fans. Bigger outlets demand is higher, so the price will be lower. So far have you tested the fan? Is it good? Yesterday we went NTUC buy fan again. Now we have 4 fans in our house. Hubby says I'm 夸张. 2 people staying, but need 4 fans.

My hubby does the ironing chores. Hehehe...

First one gives a grand feeling to me. Second one looks too normal and the flowers/roses are in weird shapes.

Wow.. increase by $20 now? We last saw was $139 when Courts ran out of stock. In the end we bought $28.90 fan from NTUC. Price is cheap, so we bought 3. When I wanted to grab one more, the fan is out of stock.

That's why we always use clothes steamer. It is a hassle to take out ironing board and waiting for iron to heat up, then use so much energy to press the clothes. Though we have ironing board and iron, but we hardly use it. Ironing duty is not under me

Haha... this is psychological factor. But I like the idea of having a table/portable counter top at the laundry area. Maybe I should visit IKEA and get the table too. I have no idea where to place the floor mats, so I chuck them under the sink cabinet.

Your house is very pretty, Hoo. Looking at the pictures, what is placed on the right side of the living room? You should consider buying a two-seater or armchair for your living room. The sofa looks a bit too small if you are inviting more guests to your home.

Green is the in-thing now, because green represents eco-friendly. Not sure why, a lot of appliances if they are in green color, they name it as eco-friendly. Whether the functions are eco-friendly or not, not sure too. Starbucks also in green, it represents eco-friendly.

Good progress, Valerie! Your kitchen looks so bright with the white cabinet. I wanted to choose white, but I am afraid of maintaining the whiteness, but definitely white is the best choice. Your hubby is right, you won't want to iron in front of the rubbish chute. So smelly.

I like the wood-grain floor tiles. If I see this, I will also choose this. However, there is a concern for grouting. Did your ID/Contractor explain how he will lay the tiles? Will there be obvious grout lines between the floor tiles? How to minimize the ugliness when do grouting?

Good tip. I was referring to the recipe, and it says need to simmer over low fire, but I didn't. I will try that dish again. The dish turned out quite horrible and salty, but hubby still finished all.

I think there is a valve for the pipes, just that if this situation happens to me, I will also panic, and first thing comes into my mind is run downstair and off the main pipe to stop the water overflow. I won't have the time to think of which valve to turn off

I like the street lamp post. I like your house overall look.

That is so dangerous. There is pros and cons to not using silicon to stick the hob to the solid top. And the reason why not use silicon is because it does not allow the glass to "expand" and "contract"? Yesterday I cooked mapo taufou and make a mess of the kitchen. I cleaned don't know don't know how many times (I lost count), until the kitchen is no longer oily. I think I will stick to my maggie mee from now onwards.

I do agree with Hin. The 3D drawing for the MBR toilet does not incorporate the trap or the pipes. You may consider to box up the exposed pipes as I see that you want your MBR toilet to look like classy hotel washrooms. Any exposed pipes will spoil the look.

My hob is not stick on the solid top. The glass hob can be lifted off from the solid top. Now that you remind me food sauce may stuck between the sides, I will add this to my cleaning routine every time I cook. I am quite particular about cleanliness.

Nice penthouse! Simply love the roof terrace - can read books, sip coffee/tea, keep pot plants and flowers, enjoy the morning breeze and wind from hakku fan, at night can admire the stars and moon. How romantic

Can't wait to see your kitchen

That is always the problem/issue homeowners face when buying resale flats. My crazy upstairs neighbour also complained to HDB, and HDB officer called me to ask about my renovation status. Luckily he was not stern, so I also talked to him nicely. When my Hubby was at home supervising worker doing drilling work, this crazy neighbour stomped out from her house and bang on our front door to tell us to stop drilling. Crazy people.

Ya, probably is the way you post, sounds negative. I thought the ID or the firm is really that bad

Yes, roman blinds can be more expensive than curtains. It depends on individual preference, and the final look on roman blinds if it will look nice or ugly really depends on the length and width of your windows. For mine, I did roman blinds in MBR. The overall look is very normal, I would say, and doesn't look "impressive", probably my window height is too short (1/2 length only). Roman blinds look nicer for 3/4 window height, for two piece window with "corner frames". Big piece roman blinds may not look nice on wide windows or many window panels without corner frames. I suspect either the heater is spoilt, or your ID/contractor did not install hot water heater point for you.

From the readings, I feel that this ID firm don't coordinate things well or they simply got no control over their workers at all. If anything happens, such as workers not happy, they sure walk out from this ID. Then who suffer? Homeowners.
