Congrats on moving into Clementi! It's a very nice neighbourhood

Hi Tiek, Sorry for the late reply! Been very busy at work. I got mine from Sim Siang Choon for about $78? I can't quite remember the price. But they do have a (albeit) limited range of sinks designed to fit into corners of bathrooms. Be careful about splashing, though! Hi Zio, Sent

Hello! Finally, I get to see pictures of your place! Very nicely done up!

*pops head in*

Hey hey! Glad to see your house coming up so nicely, especially the little touches! Hope the laminates issue has been resolved now. Don't worry too much about the edges, over time you will feel the bumps less. From time to time, I still see them on my floor, but I realise that after a while (and especially when there are more important things--like Clearing Up Cat Puke For Five Days Straight) you kind of forget about it! Just remember that when you mop the laminates, wring that mop really dry before you start. Cheerios!

Hi Sunshinedream! Oh dear, I haven't been on RT for a long while, thanks to work... I hope this doesn't come too late for you! I got my study table at *drumroll* IKEA! Yes, of all places, it just had to be from there. How's it holding up? Pretty alright, I would say. Not exactly the best material (for obvious reasons), but it's functional, and it looks presentable. Plus, it's nice and long, to hold pinkhubby's nonsense. My contractor was excellent. I would say in terms of design, you might want to get another guy, but in terms of responsibility and promptness, and value for money, Edmund is among the best. Do be a little wary of his electrician though, he doesn't do that great a job in terms of straightness of the laying of the trunking, but otherwise they have done a great job for my place. The tiler is good

I know Edmund's been pretty busy of late--he recently sent me an MMS to say hi, he's working just across the road from me at 4xx! Haha...

Nice clock and chandelier! With regards to laminated flooring, I had this problem before too--we forgot to close the windows and we didn't go over for about 2 days, so the rain water soaked into the laminate and made the edges pop up as well. What we did was to put tissues along the affected joints and draw the water out using capillary action, to get the worst of the damage out. My contractor also gave us an interesting piece of advice, which was to let the laminate dry out first--over 1 month it would mostly sink back down and it would not be all that obvious. We did that and in the end, it wasn't all that bad, so you may want to give it a try.

Yup, csingeu is also on RT! How's the progress on your house? Long time never see you and E around--tomorrow there's a social bachata competition at SeVen, are you going to take part? Thanks, Tiler Seng.

Hahaha! More and more salsa people are showing up on this forum! We should do a salsa RT meet-up someday.

Woi! Nice to see my fellow salsero on RT! I haven't been here for a while though... there's one more salsero here as well...

Hi carisella, Yes, you're right, there is no TV in the house. I don't enjoy watching TV mostly--I've lived without watching TV since 2007 actually, and to be honest... I don't miss it! Maybe it's just me, but local programming is just too blase for my tastes, and I don't fancy the idea of paying >$100 for a bunch of programmes that I don't really have time to watch, so I did away with the TV at home. Hey january, it's from 6.30pm onwards! Details in your PM. PS marshmallow! I tried to send you an invite to the house party, but your PMs are full! PM me your email leh!

Oooh nice! I live at Avenue 2, have been doing so for over 4 years now. We initially chose the place because it was somewhat near my parents, and also for the accessibility Looks like there's a lot of Clementi-ans here on RT~

A bit late, but welcome to RT! And welcome to Clementi too, it's a lovely neighbourhood.
