thanks yoongf! may i ask timber strip is a kind of laminate issit? i just bought home & decor mag for ideas and they attach a bookmark laminate frm formica. is this a good brand? do they scratch easily if i chose the timber strip? my sister's parquet flooring is heavily scratched, based on my observation. for maintenance wise, is it just mop with water or those floor cleaners thingy? sorry if i seemed abit stupid but dun really do housework before this so kinda need to learn proper way to maintain. thank! yokine9a, i am planning to keep the hdb tiles in the kitchen n wall tiles to save $. i tink once i am free this wkend, need to go down ID and just ask around. but dun realli know waht to ask ley.

hi aoi, my kitchen is already with tiles and wall tiles. i think ceramic. so dunno whr that is gd or not. but HDB already come with that whn we buy the new flat. i was thinking of laminates for rooms, but is it advisable in terms of long run? dun realli plan to move after 5yrs..maybe staying for say 8-10yrs as my flat is already in mature estate n beside mrt.

Hi yokoyoko, yah, impulse buy after gg in Harvey norman. *note to self: mustst do that again* dun be shocked ah, i request put in storagewarehouse til our hse reno liao! hahaa..no add cost. IT fair! forgot all abt that. the tv cost abt 2.4k(includ delivery) piang.. there was a expo last wk? now must open eyes big big for warehouse sales. and i am eagerly waiting for GSS! nid to source for gd quality,cheap washer/fridge soon! $$$$ *faints*

hi ! neighbour, same blk ..me in 7th flr! how abt you? me and boyfie everyday dreaming abt when we can get the keys,... wanna picnic inside haah...so kancheong! wats ur flr? i wonder when will we be able to collect our keys! my boyfie and me went ikea,courts tampines yday and was like, woah! we want this kind tat kind.. gg esctatik in a new playground.. haha

hi virgo2829, between homo n ceramic, which one is cheaper? i am still considering shld i splurge or shld i scrooge on the tiles. alternatively, can go like what yokine9a has done, mix and match!

Hi yokine9a, thks, indeed your reply is very informative. my kitchen and 2 bathrooms came already with tiles, i tink its ceramic. the rest of the house is bare. we are considering laminate as well, but after hearing your experience, dunno whether we can be very careful about the sharp objects thingy. hmmm...

hi all, i am in the process of picking tiles for my flat and am unsure should i pick the hdb sold ones (terrazo?). ceramic tiles (for easier sweeping/cleaning) or laminated flooring.. parquet definitely out of budget. share please for those that are more experience.. thanks thanks.

YES, YES.. i went into a few units that they are curetnly doing and 1 ground flr unit that they completed already. nt that impressed too. maybe im expecting too much? haiz..din noe owning a flat comes with a lot of decisions.. btw, i walk walk at one central mall yday and collected brochures frm harvey norman(think fridge n washer costs!) and also took some paint booklets.. am i kiasu or i am kiasu ...haha..

Hi yong, When we went ther last wkend to 'recce', we got 2 namecards frm the unkle. both same company. still in considering n contractor window shopping stage!

I got 220B. Keys will be avail in 3 mths. Hdb will infrm us once we submit all docs to them. July faster come!! haha. omg, gotta start thinkin of Rom.

Big Orange, gd luck to you! and yes, i;ve got the unit of our choice, counting dwn to the key

yes, i hope so, jus checked the flats on offer again...urgh.. mite nt get high flr, so may settle for 5th to 8th? *prays* if i get the flats tmw, shall we apply for aircon purchase togeder, if anyone interested? Bulk purchase - more bargainin power - win win !

Hi seraphinee, Yes! first try!, ROM? waa..so fast? is it true i must give marriage cert upon collection of keys ? what if i cant produce it by then? can i appeal to extend mayb 3mths? hi big orange, yes, 4rm !

Hi all, I chanced upon renotalk like when i googling for ideas for hdb flats. i am gg down to hdb tis friday to make a selection, hopefully still haf gd units. what i nid opinions for those more experienced is, all this buy hse thing is so MAJOR, its even causing me a major headache. but on one hand very esciting! i cannot sleep well bcos too anxious for the selection day and keep buggin my boyfie on plans for reno. any idea what i shld start with? after paying the 2k option fee? is it, 1. think of what concept for hse? 2. find a contractor? 3.measure anything in the hse? now, i am coming up with a excel sheet with what items i want to buy for the hse, is tat too crazy or shld focus on reno first? i am a first timer, got the Q number for our first S$10 down to Hdb. so very very very escited!
