    Thank you very much for your support! Feeling is very nice right when you successfully got the ballot? Feels like win 4D like that Wow...5 years is quite a ways to go, must be a very big project. Hihi, thanks also for your support! For the sliding bedroom partition, i understand HDB has since changed to a better looking type, so you may want to keep it. Mine was older model. As for the Aircon, actually initially I also thought of just installing 1 in the bedroom, but I figured why not also add 1 more in the Living Room so I can turn it on when I entertain guests or enjoy a nice weekend movie night.

    Ah ok, thought it was a camera issue with the wall. Adding the transparent cases is a good idea because you don't need to worry about dust clogging up the figurines. I hope these cases are not made of glass because you say they are abit heavy. Especially dangerous for them to fall when you're directly underneath them. Floating shelves may not be able to withstand too much weight on them. I'd replace the Transparent cases with Plastic Acrylic cases sold in hobby shops which is much lighter and would be a safer replacement.

    Very bold usage of Wallpaper designs. The wall area at the top of your wallpaper in the Living Room in this picture looks like its crooked? Is this a deliberate decision to make it crooked or is that an issue with the camera when you try to do panning? Mind doing a close up shot of the floating shelves in the living room? I like how they are encased in a transparent box casing. Makes it easy to clean if dusty. Is the transparent box casing built in, or is a separate case?

    Really LOVE this very Stylish looking Shadow cast by this light. Lately i've noticed alot of people using tracklight for their kitchen. I guess as long as the tracklight angles well enough to provide enough illumination for the whole kitchen and doesn't interfere with cooking it should be ok. Of course no such issues if you don't cook lah.

    Thank you for your support swatcL! I'm glad it helped. Its good you know someone who can assist with your reno, always good to have special friend price For Platform Bed, cost wise it depends on how much your friend will charge you. Mine was about $3.8k which is considered quite expensive i think. Also before you get a platform bed, you might want to check if HDB is approval is required now. I didn't need any HDB approval for mine, but some forummers have PM me telling me their ID say Platform Bed needs approval now, so i'm not sure whats the latest HDB rule already. Just FYI. Please feel free to ask any questions that you have. I will try my best to answer them as best as I can.

    Another weekend, another cooking adventure! This time is Singapore Styled Char Kway Teow lol Apparently, induction cooker CAN do some light frying.

    Thanks. Very nice both your windows 3/4 length, especially for 2 room because i think such feature only for premium bto i think. Curtains wise you should invest abit more to accentuate this feature.

    I guess it is still better to be cautious and ensure platform height + mattress height do not cause you to roll off through the window. Not sure if nowdays units also use 3/4 length windows for bedroom, but that was not the case for my bedroom as depicted in this picture. The below image was a picture I took for someone who also PMed me regarding the Platform Bed dimensions: Height of my floor to base of my platform is ~46cm.This enables me to sit down nicely at the edge of platform.Height of platform bed to my bedroom window is ~62cm.With a Queen Size Mattress, the height between mattress and window is ~32cmEven if I were to roll around in my sleep I will never fall off the window. Your measurements may vary of course depending.

    Hi, nope no HDB approval was needed for my case. That said, if you are planning to do platform bed, do discuss with your ID on the most appropriate height for you so that you will not roll off and fall off the window when you sleep. Don't forget to include the height of an average queen mattress in addition to the height of the platform. I had extensive discussions with my ID on this, and we measured and re-measured to ensure I will confirm never fall off even if i roll around when sleeping. The end result was perfect.

    Hi MiniBean, Yes, because i've fully paid up for my house already, fire insurance is not mandatory for me. But I still buy anyway lah. HDB Fire insurance is mandatory for people who still need to pay housing loan to hdb i think. That said, there are 2 types of fire insurance, one is the very cheap one , the other one is the more expensive one. I bought the more expensive one because why not lol. Hope this helps.
  12. RyanYTH
    Ya that is correct. If HDB allow everyone to hack it, then it'll look very funny some windows full length, some normal length when viewed from outside. Most likely is 100% not allowed by HDB. Wow melody, i'm also surprised you actually handwash your jeans. Among all the clothing items, i'd think jeans is the best for throwing into washing machine because they're made of tough material? I always thought handwash is only for those very thin material delicate clothing items.

    Hmm.. Good question. I would say the distance is .... 100m? 200m? The distance between my block and my opposite block isn't so close they can see direct into my living room, but can still roughly see small silhouette. This image is a good indicator of agar agar how far it is. Even if you don't want to put curtains in Living Room, you will still need curtains in your bedroom, for privacy of course. And it would look kindda weird if you do curtains for bedroom but not do curtains for living room because they're just right next to each other but hey its your place, you have the final say. For me, my living room curtains are more for my movie nights because I love to watch movies devoid of any external lights in a dark room with aircon turned on for a cinema experience The curtains you might want to choose can be those semi translucent type instead of the blackout curtains I use. It'll be cheaper too compared to blackout curtains.

    Just made a couple of Cheeseburgers for the weekend and thought i'd share with everyone lol. I know typically everyone always says cooking is a waste of time. But still, I hope more people will be willing to invest abit more for their kitchen reno, because the feeling of being able to cook in your own kitchen and subsequently eating what you've made is a really indescribable joy lol #Homemade #Juicy #Cheeseburgers #Sinful #WeekendCookingAdventure

    Really like how your apartment is laid out. You shouldn't have too much trouble in your renovation design, as you have plenty of space and clean corners to work around with. The only thing I see may be an issue is the bedroom sliding door because from my personal experience, the sliding door I got from HDB was very poor quality. Move move abit get stuck and even with a bad rust smell. Hopefully yours will be good, so you won't want to change / remove it. No issues If you want to shift your kitchen sink closer to the Refridgerator, as they will just need to extend the water pipe. That is if you even want to do that.

    Thank you. Just trying to help ease the confusion about the reno process as most 2 roomers will be going at it alone when they get their key.

    No i don't think so, if i remembered her unit is 35sqm same as mine. In fact, i think her unit layout is exactly same like me, but mirrored version. dry + wet toilet (sink and toilet bowl dry) would be difficult. I'm very interested to see how her ID design her apartment. @Rufus58 sure you won't consider converting Bomb Shelter as WIW? If you do that, you will have alot of space to play around with in your bedroom.

    Indeed wonderful announcement!! Congratulations!!

    Wah seh long time no see Rufus!! Happy new year to you! Wow, your estate must be very very very big if the 1st key collection was on July 17. More than half a year! But still, congrats on your PCD!!! I think by April or latest May you should be able to move in already Are you able to at least go see your house's main door yet? Don't worry about those HDB estate external structures la, it'll be at least 6 months or even more before the construction workers slowly complete the rest of the structures. I wouldn't say you suay lah, because during this time, those early ones while got their keys early, gotta close doors and windows everyday because environment still very dusty. Must regularly mop and sweep. Yours is really a big estate sia, 14 blocks! Confirm got many amenities like Supermarket, Coffee Shops etc. Yvonne made any 3D Drawings or layout plan for you already? come share share leh Excited to see what she planned for you. By now you should have a concrete idea how you'd want your flat to look like already right? Please feel free to ask anything you need, we will of course try our best to help you as much we can lor. Important thing. don't stress, don't stress As for rebate, I might be wrong about the 15k, but i remembered it was at least more then 10k. dunno letter throw where already lol.

    Salt has always been used as a purifying item and it has been for various cultures around the world. And using Sea Salt compared to Common Table Salt is better because i guess is more organic too? As for the languages, i sought the help of my office colleagues lol. Just trying to cover my bases here by using Singapore 4 main languages

    Interesting. Learnt something new. Thanks for the info. Certainly looks unique, i thought its some sort of feature wall or something.

    Nice. if the tiles are textured thats very good. Personally I feel grouting issues is not very big issue for me, as long as I disinfect and mop weekly, i'm not overly concerned if the grout turn black. Eventually i guess it will still turn black due to age anyways. I like your floor design because it gels well with the wall pattern. I realize your living room floor rug also got geometric patterns (very nice looking btw) You must be someone who like patterns and variety I'm not so adventurous as yours lol, as i scare the pattern I choose not nice or too "messy" lol. So i just chose simple and plain type of tiles.
  25. RyanYTH
    isn't grout shield used on tile grouting to prevent it turning black colour? didn't realize it also can be used for floor cleaning.
