finally we are back in Singapore!! woo!! went for our pre-wedding photoshoot in Taiwan. woah..amazing place to go!

back to topic - renovation!

let's see...the last we left off is the quotation that we got from one of the IDs. well, we have already and signed and confirmed with that ID. Keeping our fingers cross that we will have minimal problems during this process.

Latest update - We have to install window grilles!! *faint* really hate to have them in the house but it's for safety's sake and i couldn't imagine ourselves going through renovation for the grilles when we are about to have kids. might as well get it over and done with. 2 types of aluminium grilles are available for us - the silver one and the powder coated one. omg!! the powder coated one is so much more expensive!!!! yet silver ones are not as good looking..mm..haiz..

we are doing to the rituals this sunday and we can start our reno next week!! woo!!! but one worrying thing - we haven't see our house design in 3D. mmm..time to call the ID..

WAH wedding PS in Taiwan... so lucky!!

Who did you sign up with? :)

mm yes yes it's better to get the big things over and done with.. it'll be impossible to deal with the dust if you want grilles next time. :)

excited? not really wor...quite scared now cuz we haven't see our 3D pics....sobs~~

WAH you have a condo layout with the common toilet in the living area and all the rooms to one side! VERY NICE. it's so nice to have a clean slate to work with.

MmM bother your ID a bit? Without the 3D a little hard to pick tiles and stuff?

  • Author

have to agree that it's easy to plan for us..*counting our blessings* actually ar...the ID did come up with a set of designs but it wasn't what i told him before...

now **** scared la...really worried now.

tiles? we choose le..before we flew to taiwan. ghahahhaa...weird flow uh?

Ah? you've chosen your tiles before your designs were done wor? :) haha ok ok... took pictures of them?

Will you be doing the toilets? Seems like they are good to go already.

  • Author

ya lor...totally regret now...but luckily we choose those easy to match colour. never take pics leh...alamak..we so blur..

toilets? only for the master bedroom toilet. cuz we need to hack the door from the room and shift it to the corridor..father say toilet door cannot face bed..

Ya I know of that "rule" too. But I guess it's not nice for the toilet to face the door also la. haha :)
