Is it Danny Ong from DS Specialty Services?? That's whom I use le - $380 for 4 areas of window (MBR/Study/Bedroom/Living). Number is nine-six-three-two-three-four-four-eight. Though a bit costly than our another quote but my hubby find him very professionaly lo! Service good also, confirm on phone, three days later can do liao. They using AB film. Home-fix carry this brand if you want to DIY also. But I just ask my hubby will shrink anot. He say don't know but AB film is used predominantly for cars so should be ok as cars even worse ma, in sun all day type le! I also don't understand why HDB must do the awful flower pattern tile lo! Mine one also got. I think you can consider changing the floor tiles but plaster the wall tiles. That's what I did for mine. Coz my floor is homo tiles same like living (open kitchen concept) so not heavy duty I guess but I don't cook much so ok la. Then my walls covered by cabinets one side and backsplash on the other. So no point tiling walls. I never go test any tiles. But my floor laminate outside my MBR toilet, whever I step on it, I feel like a bit hollow. I told my ID, he never say anything. U think I can ask him to change? But I don't understand why like that le. We did overlay, did not hacked.

Haha~ He has yet to sort out our cables/electrical cords/plugs/modem/charges/tool basket mess as he hasn't gotten the extension cord/multi plugs/tool box. So I'm leaving all his mess in that corner which, is supposed to be my MBR display shelves, for the time being since nothing to display anyways. Totally out of point picture. Hey GIRLS, Zara having sale lei! Hehe.. I mean not say cheap until where la but at least got discount lor. Today first day, I went in the morning already super crowded. Try got to Q like 15 mins, pay $ even worse, 30 mins. Then afternoon went again second round, the whole place was in a big mess. But I think they replendish their stock every now and then coz afternoon I got see some stuffs not out in the morning one. But I swear I'm not stepping in again. Morning go spent $80. Then afternoon thinking should be nothing to buy le since morning go liao but coz colleagues want to buy somemore, accompany them and end up spending another $90. Best buy of the day $39.90, good for weekends le:

my vote for this one oso.. how much har? we oso looking for a set of speakers for our mbr..

maybe u can try patrick fr i think ho bee? coz a lot of forummers use him and i believe he is cheap coz he is more of contractor quote.. and he have so much experience (since a lot of forummers use him, then we all young young so the designs give to him to do sure modern one) sure know designs oso so he will be able to help a bit on design.. esp since u already got main bulk of yr designs fr the previous id le.. then he is very reliable from all that i read.. just a suggestion.. most impt is u must feel comfortable.. ids really charge premium lor.. abt 30% to 40% of the quote is their profit..

can do display cabinet.. or sitting area with storage at the bottom.. or just display just standing ornaments at that corner with a light shining on it.. very nice and unique round corner le! !!

thank you! its sew in one.. suggested and conceptualised by designer that the black strip trimmings to be different for each of the areas and ask the curtain people to sew in.. we not so 'li hai' le.. kam sia! not lake le, 'long kang'.. but got some trees and shrubs la.. haha, cant tell if got theme lei.. i only call it very modern black look.. i want to be very black.. but now worry if the colours will affect my son's psychological development.. u know kids la, must be colourful colourful one.. hmmm.. arigato.. when u see the bill, u wun be envious liao.. really.. wa lau, why so good? u with wat co har? which industry one? my place very strict one la, got 5 days study leave but must be under the dun noe what scheme with the bank (like 2 yrs with the bank, under approved course) then can claim.. toot lor! so i all take under my annual leave.. wat brand yr colleague using? put how long liao? mine is direct west sun oso lei from 2pm to 6pm super bright and hot! worrying lei, we dun have any frens do before so no reference to check with lo.. hubby just whack yellow pages and anyhow call..

haha.. in between so its outram. or tiong pagar new landmark in singapore! har, per month pay fixed ar. sians diaos..

If you feel comfortable with the ID/contractor, no harm sharing yr plight. Of course, most will think that 'that's not my problem' but at least they are aware of the fear and worry you all have and will not take back when both of u are more careful in yr payments/decisions in the dealings with the new ID/contractor. Communicate with yr FH more than ever. Communication is always the key in any relationships. Without rain, there can never be rainbows. Look forward to the rainbow!

i love plants too, used to buy at my first place. but i always forget to water so all die. now too lazy, intending to buy fake plants for my new place! hehe..

really major overhaul on yr place. cant wait to see the finish product!

no harm asking lo. try try. really more convenient than take in take out lo. hehe.. yr memory good lei, still remember yr dentist name. i only remember my one SUPER HANDSOME before i fell asleep. haha.. wa, mine wasnt hurting badly la, its just that sometimes will swell if i'm too heaty then very uncomfortable lo. then my work oso need to plan coz so many days mc so i walk into NDC straight without referral ltr. i oso don't know why my hubby subsidy so little lei. government sector shld be the cheapest ma, hor. the aussino quilt not very good le. very thin one, i find not fluffy enough. hehe.. but really cheap la. why u nv use! 'lang fei' lei. then where u buy yr bedsheets? i nv wash after i buy lei. wanted to but too tired with the moving house part so give up la. just sleep on it. plan to this weekend lo. hows the sofa? managed to exchange? yup, silent night. i feel that its a good buy lo. not too expensive and my hubby feels very comfortable (he very fussy abt bed and pillows one). i very chin chye one, not on the floor can liao. haha.. i using my lappie in my study rm. my sofa and bar stools all not here, then havent buy study chair, so use our old chairs for the time being. too broke oso so got to hold - spent $320 (mainly kitchen stuff) at ikea yesterday, $230 (vacuum and fan) at kong tai and $50 (dustbins) at SSC. the laundry one makes me boil. install on mon, mon night spoil, come on tues repair, tues night spoil. today they came to change the old circuit board. now ok liao. pray dun spoil again. the person say my problem is UNIQUE which means I SUAY la! its their product problem lo. but its really useful le, dun so tiring to lift my head up to hang the clothes. then it comes with the light which is very bright. haha, not hardworking la coz after the washing machine wash and dryer to dry, super crumpled, so i iron lo, anyways want to practise using the machine le. today i use to iron my dress before i go out. very good le! the dress pleats pleat nicely.. everyone should buy! haha.. i very particular abt messiness one. cant stand mess. like things to be in their place. if not i cannot sit down surf net, relax one. i siao one la. hee.. tks! only the dryer bit la. the rest average oni le. but my vanity worktop is laminate not solid surface. kinda upset abt it coz id include in the package as foc item. but not done. he oso nv say until i refer back to the quote and ask him. he says not done lo. but i tink i cant really fault him la, he gave a lot of foc items liao. then the common toilet oso laminate so more matching. haha, its the hairdryer le. go get ONE! sure instant hotel feel. haha, not too expensive la. do-able! tell him very useful one. go ciong come back still can wash hair! hehe.. somemore now is before gst increase le. all good valid reasons. tks girl! looking forward to yrs too.

Tks for the consolation mate! Feeling so much better having Tuesday off so that I can sort out whatever mess I have. I'm officially unpacked, sorted and 99% done (left hubby's bit on toolbox where he insists he wants to choose a toolbox himself and pack..problem is when? MEN!). yes, the crying part is super therapeutic! haha.. i think no need take leave but best to go every night to scrutinize whatever is done so that anything not right, u raise it up with the contractor/designer. living in a bigger place sucks le. i've been mopping my floor every night. so tired. just finish mopping only coz there were workers here in the afternoon to do my windown film (to block out the afternoon sun) and the hanger man came again (SECOND TIME) coz it spoilt again after he repair on Tues so the floor was so dirty. i'm fussy abt cleanliness and messiness la. i got 'jie bi' one! tks girl.. hows things for u??

Today is just not a good day. In fact one of my worst. I think all the moving has gotten into me. Work was a big disaster though I was in only for the afternoon. Have applied for full day tomorrow to at least settle down in my new place more. The place is 80% sorted, left with areas like HHS where there are still the tiles/paints/cement in event of defect rectification, hubby's wardrobe, toolbox mess. Basically all hubby's stuff he havent do coz he says he is still considered a patient and can't over exert himself. EXCUSES! Made me carry all the heavy things the last few days. Haha~ I think I past my breaking point and broke down earlier coz I was hungry and when I'm hungry, I do get crazy. Then when I went down to buy Mac, I waited for 15 minutes for my order to be packed only to know that the girl has forgotten about me! When I was walking back home in the rain (wait until it started raining lo, so upset), I slipped and fell but nothing serious le. On top of that, my newly laundry hanger installed in the evening at 5pm died on me. But I'm feeling ok now after the outburst. Bought a new electric water boiler from Taka Best Denki with my Taka voucher. And I opened my Novita SS19 steam iron just now to iron the bloodied bedsheets that went under washing in the morning. I think I need lots of practice to perfect it. Raining heavily, love such weather. Going to concuss now. Nites!
