Hiccup #2 As i have a very small kitchen cum dining space planning is quite challenging on my kitchen layout. Being a first time owner, generally I am very excited abt my house purchases. I bought my sink a month back and sent the specifications to my contractor. Let's call him C.. It was a double bowl sink measuring 83cm in length. As I was expecting delivery this weekend, i went and confirm the measurements again with c. And he was like huh u bought such a big sink? The countertop reserved for the sink was only 80cm.. Looks like I need to get this changed to a single bowl instead. I really dunno if all contractors are so forgetful or they just ignore stuff sent over whatsapp or maybe I bombarded him with too many pics? Another super sian hiccup. I have delayed the delivery to next week and ask him to do that exact measurement after the construction of the hollow block wall. Update: C just called to say I can only get a sink below 70 cm! That leaves me with the only choice of the single bowl 65cm sink from wasser bath... Not sure if it will be too small for washing

Day 6 - hollow block up halfway.. Met with electrician to discuss lighting points... Have a feeling that it is going to cost me a bomb! Concealed cat 6 cables for 3 pts... He said cost add $200+ a point... Day 10 - hollow block wall up and complete. Common toilet wall tiles up (why does it look like a public toilet?? ) Day 12 - master bathroom.. The tiles on the rainshower wall are not symmetrical due to the fact that the shower area being extended outwards... I am really doubting my choice of tiles now...sigh Close up look... Lines like not flowing properly Day 18 - not much updates Suddenly slowing down... Aircon piping done today and tomorrow... Toilet ledge with cement up... Toilet wall tiling completed..actually not completely done as they still need to do the grouting... else the lines are so ugly... Toilet floor screed smooth for tiling..

Official day one - war zone mode Bomb shelter mirror feature wall gone. Not going to cover this as doing chalkboard paint on bomb shelter wall.. But wondering how to hide the wires...cos it was previously hidden behind the feature wall... Took off one part of the existing false ceiling to make way for my 60 inch fan...(hope this fits as it is going to be like 30cm beside the 2 L box) I had to design the false ceiling myself as not very satisfied with the contractor proposed design... Day 3 hollow blocks ready for building up the kitchen wall My $750 worth of sand for kitchen flooring

Picked an auspicious date 12 July to start the "dong tu" ceremony. Confirmed with the contractor that they will start work on the 14th July.. So everything is planned.. Who knows, when I opened my door that morning, they already went in to do minor hacking and dismantling of the fixtures in the house!! Was super sian... Called the contractor and he acted like he was not aware of my dong tu ceremony Nevertheless what is done cannot be undone so I just went ahead with the ceremony... Hiccup #1 This was what I saw when I stepped into the house.. On the same sat day, they came and lay the cardboard paper and removed my windows grilles in a flash.., need to action so fast meh?? Oh ya I decided to take away the grilles as well... ( this is the only part that i was a bit hesitant abt as it was still in ok condition, but i still prefer to be grille less... Which means $$$ off as I am considering to do a privacy solar film...

My first house purchase. A kitchen mixer from insani. Received the goods in good order. Satisfied as of now. Hope it works after installation. I got the rest of the shower accessories from Heritage and sanitary wares from wasser bath. My 60 inch big *** fan... i opt for white as the living room is not really that big...and having a black thing towering above me gives me a feeling of having a giant moth above me... My fav SONY brand tv.. I am a sucker for Sony products... the only samsung product in my house as i could not afford a fisher .. lol Sonos play bar and subwoofer

The journey of securing my 4 room resale flat started after I accompanied my fren on her house hunting trip in early Jan this year. Was ''targeted'' by her agent and one month later, I managed to secure the OTP for a 4 room flat in the North east and hence started my lifetime liability for the next 25 years... Finally after waiting for almost 4 - 5 months, I finally got the keys to my flat in July.... Like most people here, I went to a couple of Ids to get quotes... but in the end, i decide to go for workmanship and decided to use a contractor for my renovation. His prices are ID prices... but since he is my fren's relative, i trust that I am in a pair of safe hands. Well, it is still too early to tell now, but so far, the workmanship for the projects that he did was quite good..so i hope that mine will turn out fine... the only con is that there is no 3d and basically i am designing this house myself..... trying to achieve a clean scandi (or modern mid century look) ... getting rather confused ... haha Oh i am doing getting an ID to do the carpentry for my kitchen, shoe cabinet and wardrobes.. cos my contractor's price for internal pvc is not very competitive and this is a must have for me

I went sitting ard on toilet bowls as well in the end I nailed down wasser bath. I find that they have quite good deals with the sink. On the other hand, heritage's baron 888 toilet bowl with gerbeit flushing system seemed good as well. I chose wasser cos they have a bigger variety of basin selection. And I ordered their in house kitchen stainless steel sink as well. Super solid feel 1.2 thickness
