  1. Hope all goes well for you. To spray paint the gate shouldn't take too long I guess. When is your toilet glass door coming in? And when are you shifting in? Share more pictures :)

    Thanks! Toilet glass door today. Realised I still have my PVC bifold door for my common toilet too. Almost forgot haha.

    Will be shifting in only in June, after my wedding. :) but supposed to hand over by this week.


  2. oh my. u using contractor rite? then can just ship from TB, since it's ur contractor's guy's fault. make them come back and fix the light.

    or u need to shift in urgently?

    Yup. My contractor has graciously agreed to pay for my new lights. Not that urgent, but everything was supposed to be ready tomorrow. Kind of disappointed.

    Hi wowach,

    Just sharing. I had ask a quote before and he had quoted for my 3 room windows $790 included installation. Find it expensive, so I bought the blinds from Qoo10, which cost $231 (including shipping) but without installations la. So I got my ID's help to install for me. :dancingqueen:

    Thanks for the suggestion! My contractor did offer to help me install the blinds, but I just can't get the blinds in time from ikea. Decided to spend more to get my custom blinds because I have 2 rather odd sized windows.

    I think I saw the 'bottle' lamps at Chan huat if I remember correctly...

    Thanks for the note! But have already ordered again on taobao. Another 3 weeks wait...


  3. Went to ikea to buy some small 4W round E27. Found 11w still too bright for dining area.

    Anyone has recommendations for blinds? Is it possible to get my house fitted with blinds for $600 to 800 budget? Wanted to get from ikea, but the Tupplr 2m were all out of stock. :( We are not into curtains because we are lazy to wash them regularly.


  4. Overall, things has been okay. Very glad that the design so far is coming up nicely and not too far off from what i imagined to be. Maybe a little too many line patterns. Haha. The progress was a bit slow for my liking. There were also a few rectifications that has been done / waiting to be done.

    My contractor has been very obliging in some of my requests, and he has been very accomodating. But sometimes the subcons do things that are beyond belief. For instance they decided to run my water pipe and gas pipe separately (different piping directions) when both are next to each other, even though my contractor has clearly marked the required pipping places. Secondly, for their convenience, the floor laminate guys decided to bring down my main door, and my door was covered up by just the gate and styrofoam sheets. There was also another interesting episode when I think the windows subcon suggested to take down my old windows one day before the new ones get installed. I overheard my contractor giving him/her a earful for such a ludicrous suggestion.

    Overall, it's been a mixed bag. My contractor has been very understanding and flexible. But a lot time has been spent on rectifications. The army mantra of do-it-once-do-it-good didn't seem to be applied.

    Carpentry, doors, grills and cleaning to go. It should be ready in 1.5 weeks time, hopefully! Already late. :(


  5. Yes done by the carpenter. I dunno the additional charges yet coz I haven't gotten my final quote yet but the carpenter says this is 很难做 though and we used full nyatoh for it.

    I see. Well I told Alan to tell me anything that requires additional charge, I'll double check with him, thanks! Your place is looking great!


  6. Mine is not LED but uses normal e27 light bulb, so the light holder looks different. Its more for general lighting... If you want to use it as a spotlight, then this is not suitable. I didn't take any photo at the shop, so no pix to share.

    Thanks for the information. Am also looking for general e27 lights for my track. I find LED track lights too expensive and too focused.

    Looking forward to your actual picture. :)
