hi there! from the state of the construction you are likely looking at least another 2 months to key collection. strongly suggest considering alternative plans for your traditional wedding procedures. by the way, we are also having traditional ceremony on the same day.

Looking forward to your progress!

Dear all, after a long time MIA, I am back again. Based on online feedback and pictures of their work done, we signed on with Z L Construction for our basic renovation works. REVIEW OF Z L CONSTRUCTION PTE LTD ** Update ** Issues resolved for the moment. Reserved for full review after renovation completion.

I went to those places you mentioned as well but the prices were prohibitive. The Japanese pieces although nice, don't seem to work very well for HDB scale. It looks a bit strange in a HDB, I can't put a finger on it. Also the they are rather pricey.. We didn't like Ethnicraft at all, as the furniture were all so expensive and the surface has that rough unfinished feeling. It might be designer or environmentally friendly, but its not for us.

Hi ringogogo, have you installed your aircon yet? How is it going? How was Best tech service? I am only going to be starting reno soon.

Bought a home automation controller, a door sensor and a smart plug to test out. Intending to automate my new home, like having the lights come on automatically in the evenings or go off when we go to sleep or go out, knowing when someone opens the door or Windows as security measure, etc. The possibilities are endless! No more slapping your forehead when you forget to swith off the lights when you go on vacation.. Managed to setup a simple scene for my current bedroom. Can't wait to get more sensors and devices when I do my renovation.

Paid deposit on LG Artcool Platinum white color with Best Tech. Yes heard many bad reviews about this company but I signed up anyway due to their competitive pricing and flexibility in allowing me to change to other brand aircon whenever I want, as long as I give advanced notice. They are also using the Yamato denki contiguous piping that doesn't need to be connected with masking tape like traditional armaflex. Masking tape is a point of failure, no matter how thick or good quality the armaflex insulation is. Sounds logical to me. LG Artcool Platinum White System 4 Should I change to Mitsubishi instead? Sitting on the fence on this one.. If I change I also get a discount as mitsubishi is 200 cheaper than the LG

Collection of some lights for me to keep in mind. Planning to get all my lights from Taobao. I walked the entire length of Balestier visiting all the lighting shops, and realised that all the lights they display are ripped off from Taobao, only with a super high markup.

Thanks! Yes I think industrial/scandi is too common nowadays. And it seems everyone has a craft brick wall in their living room! I will be having just a plain wall in my living, oh dear lol.

Purchased the following items for kitchen from Hoe Kee.. Blanco Metra 9 Composite Sink Also got a metal sponge tray and a bamboo chopping board which integrates nicely with the sink. Can't wait to see it installed. Blanco Mida Composite Sink Mixer Goes well with the sink. Bosch Serie 4 90cm Slimline Hood Its a telescopic hood which slides in to be flush with the kitchen cabinet. Extraction rate isn't really good but we don't plan to cook much anyway and its on offer. Bosch Serie 2 Gas Hob Also on Bosch year end offer.. ok price for a branded appliance, similarly priced to regular brands. The knobs are stainless steel and the trays are fully removable to make cleaning easy. Only comes in black tempered glass.

Thanks its good to know! BTW, do you change the water filter and if so, where do you buy it?

You can get it from Ideal Merchandise near lavender. It's 300+. They specialize in bidets and even have the Toto ones. I would get but I'm not planning to run power to the bathrooms so can only go for manual or battery operated one. Bidet is common in Japan and Korea but somehow people don't take to it here.. I think you can save a lot of toilet paper by using it and it's cleaner too.

Paid deposit on Hunter Douglas replica sheer fabric blinds, by a brand called Woorichang. Price is reasonable and actually comparable to if I do higher end curtains. The picture shown below is from Hunter Douglas but it looks exactly like it. Style can be chosen when the guys take the site measurement and according to the salesperson he will advise us on style and colours when he view our place. Woorichang WIN.US Blinds

How can a house be Japanese themed without an electronic bidet? This is one of the must haves for me, and it was actually the very first purchase I made. I cash and carried and its now taking up space in my bedroom. After checking with a number of IDs and contractors (all of whom say different things!), I thought that my dream of having an electronic bidet would never materialise... until I saw this battery operated one. No power supply is needed, and it comes with all the functions of a powered bidet, except for seat and water heating and a dryer. Good enough for me. Coway BA17 Bidet

Bought more stuff. Underestimated the budget we needed and the purchases just keep piling up. Before we know it we have spent 20k, and renovations haven't even started yet! I am highly particular about water quality, therefore I decided not to compromise on the sanitary fittings. Additionally, it is a pain and will cause more to fix leaks from a lousy tap. Mixers are something you use daily and I think it pays to get a good one. Grohe Euphoria shower system with thermostatic mixer For the master bathroom. Promo price quite good, so I grab Grohe New Tempesta Shower and Eurosmart shower mixer for the common bathroom Grohe Eurosmart Basin Mixer x2 for the basins

Allure Vinyl Flooring from Evorich Paid deposit to overlay flooring for the entire house. Currently the flat is laid with HDB original homogenous tiles. Will be overlaying with Allure brand Markham Oak Light. Still undecided on whether to have skirting or not, as that is a difference of 1k. I don't like skirtings as I can't place furniture flush to the wall and there is always a gap where dust and little critters can hide Any opinions on whether we should do skirting?

Due to the constant year end sales, we have gone ahead to purchase most of our appliances! Hitachi R-SF45DMS 6-Door Fridge Always wanted to have a cool Japanese 6 door fridge and now I bought it. Bought during Harvey Norman sale and came with a Hitachi rice cooker and a Hitachi stand fan! Hitachi MRO-AV200E Superheated Steam Oven Bought during Harvey Norman sale for quite a good price. Also came with a free Hitachi vaccum cleaner. LG WD-14A8FDS5 9KG Steam Washer This comes with steam wash which we want for the ability to kill germs. EF FDR-106S Dryer We were told this is exactly the same as the Elba branded one and is made in England. We got this as we just want a simple and cheap dryer. Spin Savannah Fan When we went down to the showroom, we were told that they are out of stock and we have to wait for 2-3 months. No issues since we won't be needing it anytime soon so we just paid the deposit and booked it first for delivery next year. Apparently its quite popular?

We got most of our stuff from Scanteak. I know teak isn't exactly in line with our theme, but we just couldn't pass up solid wood furniture at those promotional prices. Besides, its really hard to find light oak furniture in Singapore. I came across Hommage Lifestyle and would have gotten the complete set of their Japanese furniture, if I had not already bought all of these! Argh... Scanteak Flip TV Console The only piece we bought from Scanteak that isn't solid wood. Should I change this for the Prologue range TV console? We still have some time to decide... Scanteak Slank Dining Table 150cm Scanteak Kontour Chair Bought 2 pieces, comes with free seat cushions. Scanteak Prologue Duo Bench Originally intended to get all Prologue range, but after seeing it in person, decided that some of the items like the sofa were too small. If we had a 3 room BTO I would probably buy the range. In the end, the bench was the only thing from Prologue that we got. Scanteak Lifestyle Display Unit Intending to place this in front of the main entrance, since we have no more budget to engage ID to do a customised partition. This was bought on promo price. We'll see what happens. Coria Sofa Excellent sofa which is 1m deep for some lazy lounging in front of the TV. The sofa can be completely re-upholstered by yourself, and we paid $100 for an extra set of fabric in a different colour.
